Like always my screencastify is still not working but I will tell you how I did and what I enjoyed and disliked and more.
I really enjoyed this activity it was quiet fun, at the start I was a little skeptical when we had to flip the water upside down because i thought it was going to go every where, but it turns out it didn't I just had to have faith in my self.
If you would try this do it out side it is quiet a mess to clean up if it doesn't work the way its meant to

So for this activity I decided to make a Butterfly.
To make this I went around the front and back of my house and found leaves that could be useful and then I also found some sticks. Once I had all my items I got one of the little sticks I had found and cut it in half to make the antennas, then I got my bigger stick and used that for the body. So then because I had found some big and small leaves I used the big ones to be the top wing,and the bottom wings are the smaller wings.
I hope you like my creation.

J. K. Rowling is one of the most well-known authors in the world. She wrote the Harry Potter series of books. Over 500 million copies of her books have been sold, making J. K. Rowling the world’s first billionaire author.
Bouns Activity.The Diary of Anne Frank
Anne Frank was a very brave girl. She was born and raised in a Jewish family in Germany in the 1930s. When World War II started, Anne and her family were forced to hide because the German politicians (Nazis) did not like Jewish people. She and her family hid out in a secret room in their house for two full years. During this time, Anne wrote in a diary. When the war ended, Anne’s dad found the diary and made it into a book. He called it The Diary of Anne Frank or The Diary of a Young Girl.I know lots of people who keep a diary. Often they will record what they did during the day or recount stories about special events that have taken place.
Today is Wednesday the 25th December 2019 and it is Christmas day
as I walked out to the lounge to sit with my brothers and wait for mum and dad I saw an electric scooter that had my name on it I was really excited because I have always wanted one.
Mood: Very happy

Activity 2. (this one didn't have a name)
Dr Jessa Roger (Metuamate) is a Aborignal Australian and a leader in indigenous education. She grew up in Queensland, Australia, and when she had a baby while she was still at school, it seemed like her education would suffer. However, Jessa not only completed her high school education, but she went on to University and completed several degrees, including a PhD which means she is called Dr Rogers!Dr Jessa Rogers became the first school principal (and youngest Aboriginal principal in Australia) of the Cape York Girl Academy, a school in far north Queensland for young indigenous mums and their babies. For her work on improving indigenous education in Australia, she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award in 2010, has gone on to win many more awards and write several books.Dr Rogers is a proud member of the Wiradjuri people, an Indigenous community in Australia, and has a strong connection to New Zealand. In fact, her husband is affiliated with two iwi in New Zealand - Ngāti Kauwhata, Ngāti Raukawa, and he is also of Cook Island and Tahitian decent. Jessa is currently working at the University of Canberra as an assistant professor.
Dear Jacinda
I think that we should be banning anything plastic.
Because we are always using plastic and some people don't through it out they just drop it on the ground, as you know plastic is one of the main things ever to kill sea life.
Another reason I think we should ban plastic is that it can harm us. Say when we unripe something like glad wrap some people drop it on the floor and make other people trip up and when they put it in the bin and walk away another person walks by and puts another peice of rubbish in the bin and more falls out.
If you can please try and fix this it would be great.
Kind Regards

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1
People from Pacific nations have always been expert explorers and navigators. In the past, they used the stars, sun and ocean swells to find their way (navigate) around the Pacific Ocean. Master navigator, Nainoa Thompson, has used the ancient Polynesian wayfinding skills to navigate around the world. In 2013, Nainoa led a crew across the Pacific Ocean on two large canoes (Hokule’a and Hikianalia). The crew stopped off in Aotearoa, New Zealand in 2015 on their journey and visited the Manaiakalani Schools in Auckland.Here is a short video about Polynesian navigation. It describes the different ways ancient Polynesian navigators used the natural world to find their way around vast oceans. Incredible!I think that it would be difficult to be ‘at sea’ for weeks at a time. I would miss my family but I would also enjoy the adventure. Let’s imagine that you were invited to join Nainoa for three weeks at sea. As part of the journey, you have to pack your own food.
1. Pasta: Because it can't dry out on you
2. Caned vegetables: Because it can keep you healthy
3. Caned Fruit: because the can't go off
4.Bread: because it is dry and it was wash down all the liquid in your body
5.Meat: Because it is a good thing for you to eat only if you cook it or have anyway to cook it
6.Cheese: Because you could put it over you pasta or just eat it how ever you want
7.Milk because it is one of the best things you can drink
8. Rice because it is a food you could eat raw or cooked
9.Eggs because you could eat them raw but it tastes really weird
10.Sauce: because you can put it over most of your food
Bonus Activity:Scaling New Heights
Sir Edmund Hillary and his sherpa (guide), Tenzing Norgay, were the first people to reach the summit of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain in the world in 1953. At the time, Edmund Hillary was an apiarist (beekeeper) from Auckland, New Zealand. During the summer he worked as a beekeeper, and during the winter, he climbed mountains. Becoming the first person to summit Everest was not easy. In fact, Edmund Hillary attempted (tried) to climb to the top of Mt Everest three times before he succeeded. He was determined to reach the top!While this famous explorer and climber is mostly remembered for being the first person to reach the summit of Mt Everest, he has also made a huge impact on the world through his charity work. In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary set up the Himalayan Trust to bring education, healthcare and safe drinking water to the people of Nepal - the country where Mt Everest is located.
