Week 4- Day 5- Activity 3

Task-
For this activity, please reflect on your experience with the Summer Learning Journey programme this year.
On your blog please tell us:

1. Which activity you enjoyed the most
2. Which activity you enjoyed the least
3. Three things that you learned while completing the programme
4. What changes/improvements you would make to the programme for next year

My Reflection-

1. My favorite activity was from week 4, day 3, activity 1! I was talk show host. I liked it because you got to talk about what your future plans are.
2. The activity I enjoyed the least has to be none of them I enjoyed all of them! All the tasks were very interesting things to write about.
3. Three things I learnt! I learnt that the designer Kiwi clothing company Twenty Seven Names used to be called Love lies! I also learnt that Jessa Rodgers was  25 years, 3 months and 2 days old when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award! The last thing I learnt was that there was an inspirational singer with my favorite name Savannah!
4. The changes and improvements I would make to the programme for next year would be to maybe make the activities a tiny bit harder because for me they were quite easy but that's only my opinion!

Thank you for reading my blog I had a great time doing the Summer Learning Journey!

Question- Would you try out the Summer Learning Journey?

Week 4- Day 4- Activity 1

Task-
For this activity, please read this article about where some famous New Zealand brands got their names from. Brand names are very important to companies as this is how they are known.

On your blog, tell us how Twenty Seven Names got their name. Looking at their clothing brand, tell us whether you think this is a good name for them, or if they should change it to something else!



How Twenty Seven Names Got There Name-
The designer Kiwi clothing company started with the name love lies in 2006 but they found out the name was copyrighted by a US company, so they renamed themselves in respect to the 27 people who have helped them along the way. Designer and co-founder of Twenty-Seven Names Anjali​ Stewart said During a session when we were spitting out other name ideas…we wrote a list of people who helped get the brand out there, there were 27 names on that list. He also said it's the first way most people engage with the brand.

My Opinion On The Name-
In my opinion I think the name is great! I think it's good to have some meaning in the name it's not just called Twenty Seven Names because they thought it was a good name, they called it that because of the 27 names who helped launch there brand and I think that's great!


Do you think they should keep the name or change it to a different one?

Week 4- Day 3- Activity 1

Task-
For this activity, we would love to know more about your interests (passions) and your future plans. What do you think that you would like to do when you are older? Do you have a specific job in mind?


On your blog, please tell us about your future plans (i.e. what you plan to do when you finish high school or college). Would you prefer to start working right away or to continue with your studies?


My Plans-
Right now I am really into doing drama! I do it at Original Scripts theater school in Christchurch! So when i'm older and have finished high school I would like to get into the Wellington drama school! If not I would think about flying to the US and applying for some auditions for a role in a movie or TV show. If that doesn't happen, I would like to maybe start a YouTube channel. Those are some of my thoughts for the future but they might change!


What do you ( or did you ) want to be when you grow up?

My Story In My Diary-
Dear Diary,
Today was an extraordinary day! I got up at the crack of dawn and started of the day with a plate of 3 very sugary pancakes before leaving to go to the pool on this amazing hot summers day! I left my house at 8 sharp and rushed over to my neighbors pool and there I found my friend Lily standing outside of the pool waiting for me, we dived in the pool and had a blast, we played in the pool for a hour or 2 before Lily's mum yelled out from upstairs who wants ice cream! Me and Lily sprinted out of the pool and walked ourselfs down to the diary which was just around the corner. I asked politely for a cookies n cream ice cream in a cone Lily asked for the same and before we knew it they were in our tummy's and it was time for me to go home. I waved Lily and her mum goodbye as I walked just next door to my house!
I had a great time today.





What was your most extraordinary day and why?  BTW- this story was made up.

Week 2- Day 1- Activity 2- Dr Jessa Rodgers.

Activity 2-
For this activity, we would like you to calculate Jessa’s age when she won the NAIDOC Youth of the Year award. She was born on 7 April 1985 and she received the award on 9 July 2010. Please provide the answer to this question in years, months and days (eg. 20 years, 6 months and 2 days).


On your blog, please post both your final answer and an explanation of how you solved this math problem. You could write your explanation, or use screen-castify to record yourself explaining how you solved it.

Info-

Jessa was born on the 7th of April 1985
Received award on 9th July 2010
7th of April 1985 to the 7th of April 2000 makes her 15
7th of April 2000 to 7th of April 2010 makes her 25
The difference between 7th of April 2010 and 9th of July 2010 is 93 days
which means she was...

25 years 4 months and 2 days old!

( I tried to figure it out so please comment if I got it wrong it would help )
