Mitchell Summer learning journey Day # 12

Good morning blog viewers. Today is day 12 of the Summer learning journey. Today I will be learning about different TV shows. Lets begin!

Activity 1 -As seen on TV
I have been asked to watch a popular television show from the country I have decided to choose from. I will be watching a Japanese television show which I heard is very popular. The name of the show is  Anpanman: Ironman vs. Japanese Ghost .  I have just finished watching the episode and now I have to write a review: 1. The name of the TV show was "Ironman VS Japanese Ghost". 2. What I liked about the show ? : What I liked about the show was that Ironman fought the ants to save his friends. 3. What you didn't like about the show ? : I didn't like that he kept saving his friends over and over again.

I would rate the show ** stars because it was kind of boring and more of a TV show for kids under 5 in Japan. 

Activity 2 - Favourite TV show
Rachel has just told me her favourite TV show named Veep,about a woman who becomes the President of the USA. It must be hilarious. Well I have been asked to tell you my favourite TV show right now. It is The amazing race. It is about 11 teams of 2 who find clues to participate in activities to get the next clue in order to get to the end to win. The remaining teams who are last get disqualified. 

Bonus - Popular NZ TV show
I have been asked to post a YouTube link of a popular TV show in NZ right now. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK306MdWnO4. The link goes to an episode from the TV show Jono and ben. In the episode they are with NZ singer Stan walker at Mc Donald's. Stan has a microphone in his ear while Jono and ben tell him to do silly things to customers as Stan pretends to work at Mc Donald's. 

Thanks for watching

Mitchell - New Zealand Holiday 2016/2017

Hello bloggers. I had a very fun experience up North with my family. We had an amazing time! We drove all the way up to Tutukaka which is very close to Whangarei. We also spent New years there and it was so cool. Heaps of fireworks banging and sparkling in the air. It was very fun. We camped at Tutukaka Holiday park  and it was a really good holiday park which is really cool and recommended. 

Here is a picture of us going to Tutukaka. At Tutukaka we went to some really cool beaches such as Sandy Bay. There was very big waves and really Sandy sand! Here are some pictures of it. 

We also had a awesome Christmas and we had really cool gifts from family members. Here is some pictures from our Christmas eve lunch. Me and my sisters also took a picture with Santa at the mall. 

On the way back from Tutukaka we decide to stop off at Mangawhai heads to see our cousins who were also having a holiday. They stayed in a bach. Here are some pictures. We also went to the Mangawhai Heads reserve beach. It was really fun too. 
Here is a picture of all of us at the bach our cousins and other family were staying at.

Yesterday we said bye to our Fijian cousins who came to visit. We said bye to them at the airport last night. They also flew in the morning at 2:00 am. Here are some pictures: ------------------------------------------->

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 11

Hello bloggers. Sorry I have not been posting for a while. I was with my family camping all the way in Tutukaka near Whangarei. I will be posting some photos very soon. Let's begin Day 11 !
Activity 1 - Participating in a NZ sport
I have been asked to take

a picture of me participating in a New Zealand sport. Here it is: This is me on my first day of Cricket. In the picture I am holding a bat and a cricket ball. This was taken at the Point England reserve. I was playing for the Ellerslie Cricket Club with some of my friends. 

Activity 2 - Sporting hero

My sports hero is Mika Vukona. He plays for the Basketball team the New Zealand "Skycity Breakers" (Auckland). He plays the position Power foward. He is my sports hero because he is a great basketball player and he is a great person. He is also Fijian like me which is amazing although I have tongan in me too. 

Bonus - Best NZ sport
According to the Love New Zealand website, the most popular sports in New Zealand are rugby union, rugby league, netball, soccer and cricket.In my opinion I have to decide which is the best sport. I would definitely choose "Rugby union" for sure. Here is why I have chosen it to be the best NZ sport.
. It is the most popular NZ sport
. Many people play it
. It is really popular all over the world
. William Webb Ellis created the sport rugby by picking up a rugby ball and started running with it
That's all the reasons why I choose Rugby Union as the best NZ sport.
