Week 4 - Weekly Activity Day 2 (Bonus Activity)

Bonus Activity

Take a picture of yourself standing beside a popular place in your community. It can be anywhere that’s pretty popular in your area (e.g. a store, a restaurant, a marae, etc). On your blog please tell us about the landmark. What is the name of it? Where is it? Who goes to it?

This is me and my nephew at my mums work called Riva. The owner of Riva sold it to another person and the new owner called it Bold Eagle Diner. Riva was visited by my favourite NZ Actor James Rolleston. After coming once he had kept coming to Riva but sadly every time I went to my mums work I never saw him. Riva was such a great place, the food was so tasty. One time I actually got to work there, and lots of customers gave me a lot of tips. One of my favourite things about Riva was my favourite desserts Tiramissu & Red Velvet Cake.

Activity 2

Let’s imagine that you have been asked to host a visitor from another country. They are going to come and stay with you for three days. During that time, you are expected to take them on a tour of New Zealand and show them some our most famous icons. Where would you take them? If it was me, I might take them to Mt Cook in the south island, to the Sky Tower in Auckland and to Chums Beach in the Coromandel. What about you? On your blog, tell us which three famous places in New Zealand you would go with your visitor.


Where I'll Take Them:

First, I would take them to the sky tower because the building is filled with so many things to do. Also the sightings from the top are so AMAZING.











Second I would take them to the museum in Auckland because it is filled with so much history people can learn. Also there is some pretty cool sculpture and statues, etc.

The cost will be how many scoops there are.

Third, I would take them to Pukeno because it's so cool there watching cars go pas on the motorway. Also they sell very cheap Big & Chunky scoops of ice cream.

It's day when people all gather up together in Aokigahara to remember those who have decided to end their life there. Everyone shall bring fake lit candles and walk around the whole forest so those who have died know that people around them do care about them. Also it will remind other people who is alive that they should not end their life because there are people here always willing to talk to them about there problem. Everyone will take a day off and there will be  free sushi for all those who have come.

In New Zealand we have many museum and galleries. One of the largest is called the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa or ‘Te Papa’ for short. Inside Te Papa there is a huge exhibition called ‘Gallipoli - The Scale of our War.’ It has information about a special battle, the Battle of Gallipoli, that took place during World War I. Many New Zealanders took part and many lost their lives.

The battle started on 25 April 1915. We commemorate this battle every year by celebrating Anzac Day on 25 April. Visit the Gallipoli website. It will give you lots of information about this famous battle. On your blog, tell us three things that you learned about the battle.



What I Learned :
1. The first thing I learned was lice, ticks, flies and dead bodies were a major problem to the soldiers.
2. The second thing I learned was that it was easy for the Turks to shoot our soldiers because thy had high ground.\
3. The third thing I learned that was there food was so yuck and disgusting.
