Scaling New Heights SLJ W1 Day Activity 3

For this activity, please select a charity that you are interested in. You may choose your own or use one from our list . Read about the charity.
On your blog, write a short explanation of what the charity does.

I think im very interested in the SPCA. SPCA has been working willingly to look after the amount of 40,000 animals in New Zealand every year. SPCA has been taking care of the poor animals that have no where to live and been struggling to survive. This community has homes for animals and has proper food for animals. They also wash the animals to make sure no bacteria's are not on it. All im saying is that SPCA is a wonderful charity and I hope that they will carry on doing all the fantastic jobs they are doing. 

Discovering Aoteroa SLJ W1 Day 1 Activity 2

For this activity we would like you to think about your own experiences and your own cultural background. Where does your family come from? Do they come from Europe like Abel Tasman, Polynesia like Kupe, or somewhere else?

On your blog, please tell us about your cultural background. Where do you and your family come from?

My family and I are very kind and generous. I have 8 brothers and 5 sisters living with me in an 2 story house. Its hard having 12 siblings but having them around  is so spectacular because they always keep me company.  My family and I come from the kingdom of Tonga just like the awesome Jason Taumalolo. My whole family loves being Tongan because we get to wear incredible clothes from Tonga, eat delicious food from Tonga and we get to teach some Tongan to others  My family and I are one hundred percent proud to be a Tongan.

Fun time with friends

 There I was with my feet in the scorching sand. My best friend and I went to the beach to relax and have fun. We quickly put our togs on and rushed to the beautiful ocean.

 We both jumped in the air like kangaroos and splashed right into the water. As we were in the water we saw lots of baby muscles. We both picked one up and opened it up. We munched it all up and carried on swimming. Afterwards I climbed up a big mountain. I counted to 3 and there I was in mid air waiting to see what was gonna happen next. I tucked in my legs and SPLASH! , I dived in the cold ocean really deep.

 Next, my friends and I went to have some delicious food to eat. All our stomachs were so empty, we rushed like wild animals to the food basket and almost the whole thing. We sat down on the itchy grass and rested for a little while. We were so full we couldn’t even stand up. A few moments later we went tree climbing. I used my 2 strong legs and pumped it all the way to the top of the tree. I saw a magnificent view of the beach, but mostly saw lots of boats drifting.

 Finally, we all packed and got ready to leave. This was a really relaxing and fun day and I can't wait to come back with more fun ideas to do next time.
