Activity 1: The Dawn of Television

This is one I missed.

I have to say what is my favourite television show at the moment? On my blog tell you about my favourite television show. What is it about? Who are the main characters? What channel is it on?

My favourite TV show is Heartland. The main characters are Amy and Lou, who are sisters. Tim the Dad and Jack the Grandpa. Lou's daughter Katie and their adopted daughter Georgie. Amy has a daughter who is called Lindy. Amy's husband is called Ty.

It is about this family that live on a ranch with lots of horses. Amy gets called Miracle Girl because every horse that has a problem she can fix it. They go on lots of adventures, like going to Mongolia which is where Ty went to save some bears that are endangered. Ty works as a vet.

I like how Amy is so good with horses and that the horses are so cute. It has lots of drama and I like watching it when its exciting like the episode they had a fire at a different ranch.
This series is not on TV, it is on Netflix. I watch it a lot I am up to the latest ones and it comes out once a week I am up to season 11 episode 12. I wish it came out more often.

She don't give a damn 'bout your Benjamin Franklin's, she want's Aretha

She don't really care how you spending your money, it's all how you treat her

She just want a friend to be there when she opens here eye's in the morning

She just wants you to say what you mean and mean everything that you're saying

'Cause that's how you talk to a women, that's how you speck to a girl

That's how you get with the lady who's worth more then anything in the whole world

You better respect your mama, respect the hell out of her

'Cause that's how you talk to a women, that's haw you speck to a girl

She don't give a damn 'bout your pride or lies that you're hiding behind

She just wanna fell that your real, that she's near to the men that's inside

She don't need to hear she a queen on the throne, that's she's more then amazing

She just wants you to say what you mean and then everything that you're saying

'Cause that's how you talk to a women that's how you speck to a girl

That's how you get with the lady who's worth more then anything in the whole world

you better respect you mama, respect the hell out of her

'Case that's how you talk to a women, that's how you speck to a girl

That's how you speck to, speck to her

That's how you speck to, speck to her

'Cause that's how you speck to a women that's how you speck to a girl

That's how you get the lady's who's worth more then anything in the whole world

You better respect your mama, respect the hell out of her

'Cause that's how you speck to a women that's how you speck to a girl

Activity 2: Country Calendar

This one I have to say what do I think would be the most interesting and/or challenging things about being a farmer? Would I would like to be a farmer when I are older. Why/why not? Give you, at least, two reasons to support my answer.

I live on a dairy farm so I think that the most challenging thing would be to get up at 5:30 everyday. I think if you lived on a farm of fruit it would be hard to pick the fruit and they would need to invent something that could do it for you. I would like to be a farmer when I grow up because my mum and dad are, and I know lots about farming I really like that I do not have neighbour close so I can tern up the music really loud. Another reason why I would like to be a farmer is that I love it when it is caving season because I can help dad on the farm and have a pet calf there are so cute.

Moana finds Mani and asks if he could help her go on the journey to fight the fire monster and coconut monsters. Maui lost his hook so he did not wont to but he finely agree to help, he has lots of tattoos that can move, then they head to the sea. They fight the coconut monster and the fire monster.

For this activity I have to finish the rest of the story.


“Out of the gate and off for a walk went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy…”

He is going for his daily walk to the dog park.  Hairy smells lots of smells at the dog park and looks across the field and sees Wal - his bestest friend from school that he hasn't seen for years.  They run up to each other and do their secret handshake.  Hairy Maclary says "What have you been up to Wal?"
Wal says "I am living in a palace with the queen.  I am one of her corgi's.  I am her favourite corgi."
Hairy says "Coooool!"
Wal says "I know right!"
Hairy asks Wal "Do you want to come to my place?"
Wal answers "OK, but I will have to bring my pup Cashew.  He is very cute.  Is that alright with you?"
"No problem, I would love to meet Cashew" replies Hairy Maclary.
"Here he comes" says Wal.  Cashew comes running up to Wal and Hairy and says "Who's this?"
Wal answers "This is my mate from high school.  We use to be in the same class.We use to play tug-o-war together at breaks."
"C'mon, lets go to my house" says Hairy Maclary.
"Why are we going to his house?" asked Cashew.
"To stay the night" replied Wal.
"Yay!" Cashew yelled, "where do you live?"
"Just a couple of blocks away" Hairy pointed in the direction of his house.  "Race you there" Hairy yelled!
They all sprinted their hearts out chasing each other.  Cashew was way behind the others.  Hairy and Wal stopped for a break and meet a cat called Anzac and his friend Zippy.  They were nice cats so they chatted a while.  Then..... Zoooom! Cashew flies past like lightning.  Hairy yells "Run!!!"
Wal yells "Bye Anzac and Zippy" as he chases after Cashew and Hairy.
They all end up at Hairys house at the same time and argue who won the race.  Yapping and laughing they go inside for a drink of water.
Wal and Cashew have a great time at Hairy's house and later that day go home to the palace.
As Hairy snuggled into bed that night he had a big smile on his face because he had a great day with his friends.

Bonus Activity: A Bilingual Schooling System

Week 3 Bonus Activity: A Bilingual Schooling System


Dear Miss Hygate


Can Kumara School please have a school pet.


I think that we should have a school pet because pets are so cute. Maybe we could have a dog or a rabbit, maybe some chickens.
If we had chickens we could feed them our food scraps and we could get some eggs from them.
Rabbits are adorable and fluffy.
Everybody loves dogs.
It would teach us how to look after animals and how to be responsible for them.
We can fundraise for the pet by having mufti days and P.J days.
We could research how to look after the pet or ask people.

Yours sincerely

Jess

This one I have to rank these three clips in order from 1 the best to 3 trerrible......

Golden Harvest

Ray Columbus and the Invaders

New Zealand Underdogs

The first one I rank 1st because they have lots of instruments and they all played them well.  They all looked funny with what they were wearing and they danced funny but it was good.

The second one I rank 2nd because I knew the song.  His dancing was hilarious when he shook his head.  Every time I hear this song I want to sing it. 

The third one I rand 3rd because it is not as good as the others.  The music and the singing seemed weird to me.  I did like the instrument that was like a type of drum, that sounded cool.

This one I had to read about the Beatles tour of New Zealand and then post three interesting facts about The Beatles Tour on your blog.

Fact 1. The first place the Beatles went was Wellington New Zealand 21 June 1964 he had 7 thousand fans most were young women. One girl badly hurt her leg trying to climb a wire fence, and two others were forced through the fence because of pushing from behind. There were so many people that they had to keep people behind a fence.

Fact 2. As the band stepped off the plane, the shrieks of fans drowned out the noise of the engines. Te Pataka concert party performed a haka, before doing a hongi (pressing noses) and presenting the band members with tiki. There were lines of people to see The beatles drive past.

Fact 3.The crowd outside the hotel was so big that the beatles had to be taken a secret way through the bottle shop entrance of the hotel. Police had to use dogs to keep people away from the hotel. Teenagers were pushed over and damaged two police motorbikes. There was so much pushing that one of The Beatles’ cars was shunted backwards, even with the handbrake on.

Week Three: The Post War(s) Era (1951-1999)

Day 1: White Picket Fences (The 1950s)

Activity 1: Meat and Three Veg

This one you have to tell you if I think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one. Do I like the rule? Would I enjoy eating a typical 1950s dinner? Why or why not?

I think that it was all right for back then because they probably did not have much different types of food. I do not like the rule in 1950 because eating the sane thing (meat and 3 veg) ever day it would be boring.But they probably had no chose back then but now there are different things. I do like it but not ever day.
