Summer Learning Journey Day 17

Activity 1

Chasing Great

3 things I learnt about Richie McCaw are:

1. He wasn't the greatest player growing up but he had a big desire.

2. He was an ordinary man doing extraordinary things.

3. He wrote G.A.B on a napkin when he was younger for his plan, which stands for Great All Black.

Something else I would want to ask him is 

How did he keep up his drive to achieve his goal? 

What kept him motivated? 

What would you have done if you were never an All Black?

Activity 2

Sporting Heroes

Richie Mo'unga

He plays first five-eighth or fullback for Canterbury and the Crusaders.

He is my hero because I think he is really good at playing rugby. He always tries his best.

Bonus Activity

I think that post secondary education should be free. I think this because more people might go to university or a course after high school if it doesn't cost them any money. It would give people the chance to study the things that they love to do. If you wanted to be a doctor or a scientist it would save more lives or invent more things because more people would study. It would make sure that people don't have to borrow lots of money to pay back.

Dear Principal

I think that school should only be open 4 days a week, the children will be better behaved, have more things to write about and learn better.

It will mean that children will not be naughty at school because they will have a longer weekend to get out all of their extra energy.

Only having school 4 days a week will help children learn better. They will be able to concentrate more since it will be for a shorter amount of time.

Having a longer weekend will give them more things to write about in stories as they will have more time to experience other activities.

In conclusion I think that you should consider only having school 4 days a week.

Yours faithfully

Hunter
