This is my 14th Summer Learning Journey task! Sorry that I haven't been active with my tasks in the last 2 days. My family and I have been buying things for my me and my sisters' new bunk bed! Speaking of my new bunk bed, should I give you guys a little short tour?
Anyways, this task was about UV (Ultra Violet) when means the Ultra Violet light. This wasn't part of the task but I decided to react to my UV animation from extension last year! I hope you enjoy and thank you so much Dr Ray for helping last year's year 5 and 6 extension group learn all about UV!

SLJ Star Origami
Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
This is my 11th Summer Learning Journey task! I had to make an origami paper star! It was sort of tricky but one tip for you (if you try make one of these) is that to get a paper around 25-30 CM maybe? I used around 20 CM and my star ended up pretty small. Here is the link to the video I used: CLICK ME!

SLJ Treasure Map Code (Kick Start)
Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
This is my 8th task for the Summer Learning Journey! Today's task is to encrypt and decrypt a beach that is written in Pigpen cipher! I have never heard of this cipher before so it was pretty challenging to understand but I think i'm sort of getting the hang of it but not quite yet!
Anyways, I did the kick start task and I am working on the step it up one! The kick start is the presentation below me and the step up was for me to write my own favourite beach but in Pigpen cipher... Let me know if you figure out what beach it is!

SLJ Te Reo Maori - What are you doing today?
Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
This is a Summer Learning Journey task from yesterday that I didn't get to post on my blog! It is my 6th task!
It is a Te Reo Maori task about "what are you doing?". I hope you enjoy and I am not the best at Maori word pronunciations without having something else to say it first so, my pronunciations are pretty bad- sorry! Also I did the "step it up" task for this task and recorded me and my little sister, Shwe Shwe saying the words!

Term 4 Reflection 2020
Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
Next week is the last week of school for 2020! Everything has gone by so fast and Thursday is Prizegiving! Anyways, during this year the year 5 and 6 Extension also had a lot of fun! Today we had our Secret Santa and our share lunch! There was Cheetos, donuts, chips, french fries, fizzy drinks and more. Angelica got me for Secret Santa and bought me some yummy cookies and fancy chocolate!
The year has been crazy- especially with COVID and stuff but we got through it by doing little things like staying home, washing our hands and wearing masks out in public. I am glad we are back at school and can learn face to face and enjoy being with our friends!
This year has also been very fun because me and some of my friends are ambassadors! We didn't get to have many visitors because of lockdown but we still enjoyed the time we had to be ambassadors!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year :D

Creative Writing: At The Beach
Welcome or welcome back to my blog!
For today's writing, I had to write a story about being on the beach and my 5 senses. When I was writing I actually completely forgot about the 5 senses bit and just wrote an ordinary story but I hope you enjoy anyway! Also, this is just a narrative so it's all made up.
Please leave a positive comment and now let the story begin... :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing’s better than going for a midnight swim or just to walk around the beach at dawn. Well, maybe there could be things that are better than that like your friends and family, pizza, ice cream.. You get what I mean..
Anyways, today at dawn, me and my best friend, Jade were walking around and hanging with our neighbors dog because we had to look after it for the night so we brang it with us to the beach. It was supposed to be just the two of us but, we didn’t mind having a fluffy cute dog with us at all.
We placed our beach towels down on the sand and then we layed down on them. It was super peaceful until Max, (the dog’s name), barked because he was bored and wanted to have fun!
“What is it Max? We are trying to relax!” I said.
“Woof Woof!” Said Max as he lifted one paw slightly up and pointed towards the sea.
“Well, if i’m correct you want to go to the sea right?” I asked Max.
“Woof!” Said Max with a smile.
“I’ll take that as a yes! Let’s go! Come on Jade!” I said.
There weren’t many people today which was good for us because it’s nicer. Anyways, we were already in our swim togs (me and Jade) so we splashed into the water with Max. The water was refreshingly cold in both a good and bad way.
“Hey Jade! Look behind you!” I said.
“Ok..?” Said Jade.
While she was looking around behind her I splashed some water on her!
“Oh your so gonna pay for that!!” Jade replied as she splashed a bucket of water at me.
“I’m gonna get you!” I yelled as I splashed her back.
We were having a great time and Max was enjoying it too. He liked getting splashed.
After a couple of minutes of splashing each other we decided to have a nice swim. So, we did exactly that and it was such an amazing experience. To my surprise, even Max enjoyed it and normally, he likes doing fun, adventurous things so it was definitely a bit unexpected when we found out Max actually enjoyed it!
“Ah, this is the life.” I said as I floated calmly on my back.
“Yes, it really is.” Jade replied as she floated on her back.
“Woof, woof!” Max said.
“It looks like Max is enjoying himself too!” I chuckled.
After about 10 minutes or so of calm swimming, we decided to just lay down on our beach towels. So I walked out of the water and layed on my beach towel and just relaxed.
Relaxing is good for your body weather your sick, tired or just feel like calming down. We relaxed for a good 20 minutes and then we made the decision to go back home.
Although the day had a lot of unexpected splashing in it, it was still fun and I am glad that we got to hang out together!
The end...

Camp Bentzon Top 5 tips
Welcome back or welcome to my blog!
It's been 4 days now that I haven't posted because of... CAMP! Although, camps already over now sadly ;'(
Here are 5 tips from me about camp! Year 5's, this is mainly for you guys!
Please leave a positive comment :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear future campers,
Camp Bentzon is wild yet probably the best camp ever although, as a fellow year 6 camper, I have some tips for you to have an even better camp experience!
1. Abseiling is probably the activity that everybody find’s at least a little bit difficult so when you are about to go, take as much time as you need to prepare! Slowly feed the rope thing when you go down and remember, it isn’t a race or anything so take as much time as you need! Also, make sure you listen to the instructor so you can wear your harness on properly. Otherwise, you could fall and hurt yourself!
2. Another tip is for sailing! Sailing is tricky and scary but I personally feel like going in a pair is better because you feel more safe and it’s easier to control the tiller and the sail. Make sure you don’t panic, you might tip if you do. Also, remember that it’s actually good if your sail moves a lot, it may seem like it’ll tip but it’s actually what’s supposed to be happening.
3. Make sure to pack a big water bottle for the long hike on the first day! Trust me- you’ll need it!! The hike is so exhausting and tiring so you better pack one! Also, wear shorts and a short sleeve t-shirt and pack a lightweight jacket in your day bag just in case!
4. Another tip is that when you are on the ferry, hold on to your hat because it could fall into the water. Make sure you don’t have anything in your hands or else you could drop it because two of the boys from camp dropped their water bottles on the way back!
5. This isn’t a must but I advise you to bring more t-shirts and pants then what it says you should bring, (not too much though maybe like 1 or 2 more than what it says), because your outfit’s could get wet.
With these Top 5 tips you will have a great camp with no worries and make sure to get seconds for dessert because it’s super yummy :P

Rating a Trolli Mini Gummy Hamburger ASMR Edition
Hello Everybody!
So around last month, I decided to rate a Mini Gummy Hamburger! I thought about the idea a bit more and then realised that I should rate it by eating it but ASMR edition. So, here we are! I hope you find this entertaining maybe in some sort of way.
Also, I heard there is kind of this thing where some people get triggered when they hear eating noises so if you think you might get triggered then please don't watch this video!

Holiday Memory Recount
Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog or welcome!
So first off, sorry for the big size of text. I'm just trying to make it look different from the story coming below!
Basically, today my class and I practised our writing test and had 40 minutes to write a highlight from the recent school holiday we had a few days ago! I wrote about how me and my friends biked to the reserve!
Here are the link's that take you to the people's blogs who came with me for a bike ride! Nunu, Nadi, Khittamai, Yi Yi and Shwe Shwe!
Enjoy y'all :)
“Eek!” my sisters both said. We just overheard my mum on the phone talking to our friends’ mum! From what we heard, it seems like we will all be biking down to the reserve!
“Yi Yi, Shwe Shwe and Aye Myat put on some sunscreen please!” My mum said as she handed us a bottle of sunscreen.
We put on some sunscreen on our legs, arm’s, face and neck and then put the bottle down on the table. We were screaming with excitement (but not loudly) and we kept going on about how fun it would be!
After my mum changed my baby brother’s clothes and put on some sunscreen on both him and herself, my sisters and I grabbed our helmet’s and sprinted to our shoes! We quickly slipped on our socks, followed by our sneakers and unlocked the front door.
“Close the door behind you!!” I said back to my sisters.
“Yeah, yeah I know, I know!!” They replied back.
I carefully moved my bike backwards from the grass it was parked on and then got on it. My sisters grabbed their own bikes and did the same. Eventually, my mum came out of the house with my baby brother in a stroller!
“Go open the gate” my mum asked me.
So I did as I was told (while I was on my bike of course)! My sisters and I all biked while my mum walked behind us. Once we reached this wiggly line of concrete in front of our school, we waited for one of our friends who was supposed to come any moment now…
We waited.. and waited.. and waited!! Around 30 minutes passed and they STILL weren’t here!! Even our other friends who were coming were already here!! “Any moment now” I thought to myself but nope, still no sign of them.
All of a sudden my friends FINALLY emerged out of their car in which they drove here to with.
“Nadi!! Nunu!!” I yelled. I was excited to see them, don’t get me wrong but like 30 minutes late isn’t a joke!! Hmph <:(
Anyways, Nadi rushed over to Yi Yi and Shwe Shwe since those three bond more together since they are all the same age, enjoy the same thing’s, all are really sassy and annoying sometimes and like glitter (+ some other things). Meanwhile, I was busy asking Nunu why they came so late.
“Why did you come so late??” I asked.
“It was my older brothers fault. He took so long in the shower and wouldn’t get out!” Nunu replied.
“Oh OK but still!! You came VERY late!! Khittamai, his mum and brother’s are waiting for us over there!!” I told her.
Unfortunately, they didn’t bring their bikes or anything so they had to walk while my sisters and I biked. If you didn’t know, near Pt England Beach there is a little area where you can have a nice walk, jog or bike and it’s like a long path with beautiful flowers and houses on the side.
Here’s a pro tip; Don’t get distracted by the breathtaking flowers because there are some dogs from the houses on the other side that bark so loud it actually almost made me fall of my bike!! Kind of like a jumpscare so watch out!!
It’s been about 15 minutes of biking and walking and it’s been so much fun! There is also a sea side on the left side of the path which is really cool and adds to the beauty of the flowers but if you fall in it, it won’t be really cool as there are rocks on the side so be careful please!!
“OH MY GOSH!!” I yelled with excitement.
“THERE IS A SLOPE DOWN HERE!!” Basically if you don’t understand why I was excited, there was this like slope that I knew would be very fun to bike down on and I REALLY wanted to bike down!!
“3, 2, 1…” I counted down…
“WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” I yelled as I slided down the slope (on my bike) and had the time of my life!!
“Come on Yi Yi and Shwe Shwe!! TRY IT OUT!!!” I begged for them to slide down but them being the biggest scaredy-cats ever, didn’t try it out sadly.
After the down slope there was an up slope but it was a bit hard moving up it while being on my bike so I just walked it up instead. We biked\walked for another 20 minutes or so and took MANY pictures until it was time to bike and walk back :(
I was a bit upset but AWFULLY tired so it was kinda a win, win situation I guess? Anyways, I quickly biked as fast as I could so then while the others (who were SUPER slow!!) came I could go up and down the slope multiple times.
Overall, it was SO much fun!! Not to mention it was my first time biking there! Also, we were exhausted once we got home but we played a bit of Roblox, hehe :)
