Hey Bloggers! Today is Day #16 of Week 4! Let's Begin!

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 my blog I have been asked to tell you what me and my family do to celebrate a special event. Well sometimes we like to gout to restaurants for dinner and desert or we have a small party at our house. We normally decorate the table with lollies, food, drinks and more!

Activity 2 : Lord of the Rings

New Zealand Money!

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!  

Instead of keeping the money Peter Jackson decided to give all the money to me. I have been asked to tell my blog what I would with the money.

• First I would give some to my family! Buy a House, Food ( etc.
• Second I donate some to charity for families to buy food, a house, education supplies and more.
• I would give as much people money just off the street for free!
• Keep the rest and maybe spend it on stuff I would want.
• Maybe some to my friends!

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,’ I have been asked to take a selfie of myself doing something I really like to do such as an hobby!

Here is a picture of me travelling!

I love to travel! It's one of my favourite hobbies!

Thanks for watching!

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 3

Good morning blog viewers. Today is Day 3 of the Summer learning journey. Lets begin this fun adventure!

Activity 1 : Buying a ticket

I just finished watching the 2 Air New Zealand videos on how to stay safe on a plane. If you would like to view them click her on the links. Men in Black and Safety in Hollywood. 

Here are my list of 3 things to do on a plane to keep safe.

1. Seatbelt - Always buckle your seatbelt in first thing when you get in your seat.

3. Smoking - No smoking on the plane because people around you may breath it in and get sick.

3. Items - Any loose items you have on hold go under your chair or on the overhead locker.

Activity 2 : I have been asked to create my very own airline. What shall I call it? Here is a logo for my airline company I created on Design Mantic. 

Description - The name of the airlines is PeopleATW. It stands for People Around the World. In my picture there is a airplane flying with the sun rusing under it. There are a few birds too with some palm trees on the right of the image. There is also a sandy base where the palm trees have grown from. 

Bonus - Here are the prices of return plane tickets from Auckland to the blogging countries.

Australia = 864.810 dollars

Japan = 1,788.36 dollars

Malaysia =  2,300.30 dollars

United Arab Emirates  = 2,817.32 dollars
South Africa = 2,787.52 dollars
Germany = 3,262.97 dollars
England = 2,579.69 dollars
Chile = 3,364.476 dollars 
Mexico = 6,358.40 dollars
Canada = 2,217.30 dollars

The most expensive flight would be Chile with 3,364.476 dollars. The least most expensive flight would be Australia as it is right next door to New Zealand with 864.810 dollars.
