Activity 1: Celebrating a Win
In 2000, the country of New Zealand celebrated when Russell
Coutts and his sailing team won their second straight
America’s Cup. This was the first time that a team from
New Zealand had won back-to-back championships! Many
people celebrated the victory with their friends and family.

On your blog, tell us what you and your family do to celebrate
special events, such as birthdays. Do you have a special meal
or go to a specific place? In our house, we usually make a pizza
and bake a special cake. What about you?

Activity 2: Lord of the Rings
Arguably one of the most famous movie trilogies of all time,
The Lord of the Rings, was filmed in New Zealand. All three
movies were directed by a New Zealander named Peter Jackson.
The first movie was released in 2001, the second in 2002 and the
third in 2003. The movies cost an estimated $300 million to produce!

Imagine that instead of spending the money on the movies, Peter
Jackson decided to give all of this money to you. Lucky you! On
your blog, tell us what you would do with $300 million dollars.
How would you spend it? It is a lot of money so please think
carefully about it and spend it wisely :-)

Bonus Activity: The Rise of the ‘Selfie’
Although most of you are quite familiar with the idea of taking
a ‘selfie’ (picture of ourselves), this was not always the case.
In fact, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that people started talking
about the idea of a selfie, taking selfies and posting them online.

In honour of the rise in popularity of the ‘selfie,’ take a selfie and
post it on your blog. Try to show us at least one of your hobbies
or one your favourite things (maybe a special toy or book). For
example, here is a selfie of Hazel drinking a big mug of tea, and
Rachel with her son, Aronui, attending a Paw Patrol show!

Hey there Mason, my name is Billy and I am from the Summer Learning Journey programme. Thank you for working so hard and blogging lots throughout the summer. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI liked reading how you and your family like to celebrate birthday's and special occasions. I love celebrations because of the food. There is always a lot to eat. What kind of special Tongan food do you have?
Thanks for sharing how you would spend the $300 million if Peter Jackson kindly gave it to you. I like how you've struck a good balance between looking after your family and also people without homes. How would you and your family spend the $150 million? That's still a lot of money. I would buy a nice new house, a new car and some other expensive toys. Then I would give some to my friends.
Thank you for sharing a selfie too! What book is that you are reading?
Cheers, Billy :)
