Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 20 - Return to New Zealand

Hello blog viewers! Today is the last day of the Summer learning journey! I am very sad that it is the last day! The days have gone by really fast. Let's begin!
Activity 1 - Meal

I have been asked to imagine that I arrived at the airport and my whole family were there to greet me. You decide to go back home and have a special meal to celebrate your return. On the way home mum says I can have anything I want. I have been asked to tell you what I would choose to eat. I would choose Butter chicken,Macaroni Cheese,Bacon and Egg muffins and a really big Cheese burger. For desert I would choose Filipino dried mangoes,pancakes and heaps of lollies.  Image attributions - http://www.profoodcorp.com/products/brand/2  http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/01/20/twist-on-tradition-butter_n_6510228.html 

Activity 2 - Learned
I have been asked to tell you 2 things I have learnt while I was in Japan. One thing I have learnt was there was heaps of cool places and you need money to go there so my thing I have learnt was to have money as a safety gadget. Another thing I have learned was to have heaps of clothes for different weathers that pop in any time. So use that as a safety gadget as well.

Bonus - Speech
I have been asked to either post a short video clip or write some sentences of what I would say to my class. I have chosen to write some sentences. 

Hi class I have just got back from Japan and it was really amazing. There were heaps of places to visit and they were very awesome. Also they have delicious different kinds of foods and really nice TV shows to watch while you eat.  I would rate this country 10/10, so go visit Japan one day and you will want to go back every day. 

Thanks for reading all of my blog posts from the Summer learning journey. Also thanks to Rachel and Mark for commenting on every post.

Mitchell - Summer learning journey Day # 7

Hello bloggers. Today is Day 7 of the Summer learning journey. Let's begin!

Activity 1 - Breakfast

If I were to imagine that me and my family walked out of the hotel in the morning and walked across the road to a restaurant. At the restaurant we are offered a traditional breakfast meal. Here is the breakfast list :

Canada – Pancakes with maple syrup

Mexico – Chilequilas

Chile – Sweet tea and buttered toast

England – Full English Fry-Up

Germany – Brotchen (bread), cheese and salami platter

United Arab Emirates – Chebab (Wrap)

South Africa – Cup of tea and a rusk (hard bread)

Japan – White rice, fish, meso soup and natto (fermented beans)

Malaysia – Nasi Lemak (rice, vegetables and meat)

Australia – Vegemite on toast

Here is a comparisation of what I eat in New Zealand and what the country of my choice(Japan) eats for breakfast. Sometimes I have toast and tea but usually I have weet-bix. In Japan they have White rice, fish, meso soup and natto (fermented beans).  

The breakfast option I would prefer would be the Weet-bix. I would prefer this because I am used to it and it is very good for you. The Japanese breakfast kind of looks more like a dinner than a breakfast but it still looks very delicious.

Activity 2 - Kiwi foods

As part of Activity 2 I have to eat one of the Kiwi foods and take a picture of myself eating it. Here is a list of the Kiwi foods to decide from:  kiwifruit, lamb, whitebait, oysters, tuatua (shellfish), kumara, bacon and egg pie, hokey pokey ice cream, lolly cake, anzac biscuits and pavlova. Here is a picture of me eating one of these Kiwi foods:

Here is a picture I took of myself eating lamb. I did not eat the lamb because it was frozen so I just got this.

Bonus - Is breakfast healthy?

Some people say that breakfast is the most unhealthiest meal of the day. Some also say that it is the most important meal of the day. I think the most important and healthiest meal of the day is Breakfast. It depends on what kind of breakfast you have such as Sultana Bran or Fresh fruit. If you have pancakes that may be unhealthy but If you don't have breakfast you will have not so great learning the day you had no breakfast.

Thanks for reading

A wild adventure

The sun shone on her bedside as her eyes opened up like an new blossom.

She put her silk blankets aside,stood up and felt the cold of her feet on the wooden floorboards. Ally took a few steps until she was at the door. Her hand gripped on the handle as she walked out. Her eyes took a glimpse at her mum making spongy pancakes with syrup and whipped cream.

“Yummmm” she said to herself. “Morning mum” she said. “ Good morning dear” Her mum gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Ally sat on the table,ate breakfast and did her morning routine before she headed of to college. Her dad has been missing since she could say her first words.

At 5 the only memory she could remember of him was her dad laughing with her at the beach. Ally stepped into the school gate thinking of a plan. After school Ally walked along the pathway to home. “Ally” a voice whispered.

Her body stopped instantly. She turned around and whispered back “Who is it” she said with shivers coming up her back.  No one replied. “Probably those little voices saying I forgot my homework sheets at school. Hmmm never mind” The voice popped up again. “Ally” Ok I am not falling for these jokes anymore.

She turned her head around and saw and door between the bushes of the abandoned land that no one ever visits.

“She ran across the road as her caramel hair swished in the air. Her black shoes met the wet mud. “Who cares I'm up for an adventure. She skipped towards the door. But it was not and door it was an reflection from the other side of the road.

How is that happening. Her fingernail touched the reflection it was a bubble.

Skiiiiiiiiid. Her shoes slipped “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh” she screamt. She fell into a cave. “I thought I was gonna hurt myself” She landed on a big pile of slimy moss. “Gross” Mum just washed this last night nevermind. She took a big footstep onto the hard rock that was placed when this cave was made.

“A light” she echoed. This cave is really big. She walked up and down for 10 minutes until she made it. “Yassssss” Her shoes gripped and she climbed,climbed and climbed to the top. “Wow” She could not believe it.

It was Regor Hospital. Her dad went their one day and poof disappeared. He was never to be seen after that. She took a pic and sent it to mum “Is this the hospital dad was lost in” She immediately answered the call her mum dialled. “Where are you.  “ I made my way here from across the road. Reca road. I'm coming now,“ Don't you finish at 7:00 today ?” “I finish early today okay byeeee.”

Her mum rushed to Reca road walked into the cave,landed on the moss,climbed up and down,climbed up the rocks and made it to the top.

Ally and her mother walked to the main door and twisted the handle. “It’s opened” I am surprised the lights are still on. “10 years Ally” They closed the main door and crept up the crusty stairs.

The end
