Summer Learning Journey 19

                                      Activity 1

I like the trailer because it is very good and cool.  It starts with Moana describing Maui and asking him to save the world. She has to convince him as he tries to talk her out of it.  "Have you ever defeated a lava monster?" It then shows  Maui and talks about it being "Maui Time!" Moana says that the "Sea chose me!" It then show a tribe sailing the seas travelling to different islands.  Moana discovers hidden boats on her own island. It show us Maui shape shifting into a bird. Maui tries to take the boat and throws Moana off the side.  The sea however keeps putting her back on the boat.  It then goes back to show Moana as a child walking out into the middle of the sea as the water moves away from her.  It returns her to the shore as her dad calls her.  

I have seen the movie, the main characters are Moana, Maui and Hei Hei. The movie is about Maui a demi god saving the world with the help of a island girl Moana.  Moana gets the courage to leave her island and seek out Maui.  They travel together to defeat the lava monster, fighting off monsters that want the heart, on the way and restore the heart of Te feiti.  Once they have done this they both go there own ways,  Maui goes off and Moana travels back to her island and convinces them to once again travel the seas to new islands.  My favourite character in this movie is HeiHei the chicken because he is always being saved from dangerous things by the sea. 

Activity 2 - Country Calender

The interesting things about being a farmer are driving machinery like tractors, baling hay, milking cows, watching things grow and lots more. You need to be able to solve problems. Working outside in all weather. 

I would not like to be a farmer. It is hard because the weather decides if it is going to be drought or flood. I also think deciding what kind of farmer would be hard you could be sheep farmer, beef farmer, orchard farmer, pig farmer or a dairy farmer.
  

 Bonus activity

 Drag Me Down by One Direction

I've got a fire for a heart 
I'm not scared of the dark 
you've never seen it look so easy
I've got a river for a soul  
And baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man that could never be his best
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah

All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down

All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody 
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down

I got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I've got a river for a soul
And baby you're a boat
Baby your my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing left (nothing left)
The shell of a man that could never be his best (be his best)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (see the sun)
You taught me how to be someone
Yeah

All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me

All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With all your love, nobody can drag me down

All my life

  1. Hi there Hunter,

    Great job on another set of tasks! I thought you wrote an awesome summary of the movie Moana! I like how you mention your favourite character being Hei Hei the chicken. He’s such a funny character! My favourite character would have to be the grandmother, whose played by a kiwi actress named Rachel House; who I got to meet at an audition for performing arts school a couple years ago.

    In your second activity, I thought your response about being a farmer was really good and I agree with you that I wouldn’t want to be a farmer as well. It would be a lot of hard work and you have to get out of bed before the sun rises and I would prefer to stay in bed until 8:30! I do respect farmers and their hard work though! They do so much for New Zealand’s agriculture and dairy industry. :)

    With your bonus activity, that’s awesome that you like this song! I like this song too and One Direction was a great group! I used to listen to One Direction all the time in school and I went to see them in concert when they came in 2012 and 2013. Are there any more of their songs that you like? My favourite would be More Than This from their first album. :)

    I look forward to hearing from you soon and keep up the awesome blog posts!

    Cheers,
    Jade F :)

  3. Kia Ora Hunter,

    Georgia here from the Kaikohekohe cluster. Awesome work on these activities! I've loved reading some of your blog posts.

    You've written a great summary of the movie Moana. I also really enjoyed watching this movie! My favourite character was HeiHei too, he was so funny!

    Great work on your second activity too. Country Calendar is a great show and really shows how much work our farmers do. I definitely agree that it would be very hard to be a farmer, they do a lot of work!

    I love your song choice too! I was a big fan of One Direction when they were together. Just like Jade, I went to their concert a few years ago. They have some great songs! What are some others that you enjoy?

    Keep up the great work!
