Day 3

Activity 1

Nanogirl 

For this activity, please visit the ‘Build Tiny New Zealand’ website and scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find a series of Video Tours of tiny houses. Watch any three videos on the site. On your blog, tell us whether, or not, you would like to live in a tiny house one day. Please be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.

I would live in a small house only if I was living by myself or with 1 more person. But if I had my family live with me or friends come over that might be a problem.


I would want to live in a small house because

There is everything that you would in it so why not
If I were to live alone then I wouldn't want to live in a big house

Why I wouldn't want to live in a small house
I have a family of four ( I think my family would be too big too fit in a small house.)
We are always having guests over or family over so I think my family of four plus more family might be too many people in the house.

Activity 2: Overcoming Adversity [4 points]

For this activity, we would like to hear about a time when you, or someone you know, experienced a challenge and overcame it.

This is about me when I came to NZ and started school


My first day of school at Kumara School was funny now that I think about it but at that time it was a big challenge. I’m from Fiji and I came to New Zealand when I was 3 and at that point I couldn't speak English. When it was my 5th birthday and it came to my first day of school visits I was with my dad and I told my dad that I don’t want too got to this school I have absolutely no idea what they are saying. I don’t want to go to this school. But a few months later I did it.

Through Careful Observation

For this activity, we would like you to select one of the pictures below and to study or observe it closely. What do you see? On your blog, describe the painting in detail. What do you see when you look at it? Please give us as much detail as you can!






I see one place that is split into night and day. I see white and black (birds) flying over the place. The place kinda looks like a farm area. I see some trees and it kinda looks like there is a field of corn or something like corn. It also looks like an old town or village or just a small area.

Activity 2: Influencers [4 points]

For this activity please imagine that you had the chance to create your own YouTube channel. What would it be about? What kinds of videos would you create and post?On your blog, write a description of the YouTube channel you would like to create.




If I had a youtube channel



If I had a youtube channel might post some challenge videos or maybe videos of baking. I like watching youtube videos but having my own channel I think might be too much for me. But I think it might be fun once in awhile to do a funny video with friends.

Leading by Example

For this activity, we would like you to follow in their footsteps and perform a random act of kindness.

My random show of kindness was about a week ago I think.

I was at the Greymouth warehouse and I saw this lady that was trying to juggle a bunch of things. I went up to her and asked her if she wanted I could get her a basket to hold all theses things. She replied if I could then that would be great. She looked happy because she was dropping a lot of things.

HUMANITARIAN HEROES

For this activity, please brainstorm at least five ways we could support the people who are affected by the fires in New South Wales, Australia. You could think of ways to raise money, things to send them, and ways to keep them feeling positive.

I would

Make a website where people can donate

Raise enough money to get food and water for people who have lost their homes

Make some cards to send over too people too keep the positive

Send blankets over for people to stay warm

Because it looks like there aren't enough firefighters we could send some New Zealand ones over or some from somewhere else

• 
  
• Aboriginal Australians have lived on the continent for over 50,000 years.
• All Aboriginal Australians are related to groups indigenous to Australia.
• Between 1910 and 1970, government policies of assimilation led to between 10 and 33 percent of Aboriginal Australian children being forcibly removed from their homes
• Humans are thought to have migrated to Northern Australia from Asia using primitive boats. 
• 
  
• There are four Inuit regions in Canada, collectively known as Inuit Nunangat.
• The term “Inuit Nunangat” is a Canadian Inuit term that includes land, water, and ice.
• Inuit consider the land, water, and ice, of our homeland to be integral to our culture and our way of life.
•  Many families are struggling to meet their basic needs in areas such as safety, housing, and getting enough food to eat.
