Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 • Week 1 • Day 3 - Activity 1

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, for today I am going to be another post for the Summer Learning Journey and as it is a new day there are new activities and a new theme. For this day we are learning about Team Players.

Day 3: TEAM PLAYERS

Activity 1: Rugby Superstars

Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of age. He went on to have an amazing career that included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries. Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood in Manger, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong and fast.

Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact, he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain.

For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special 'superpowers.'

For this activity, we had to imagine that we were a superhero for the day and we had a choice on which 3 superpowers we would like to have. We had to include a reason why we chose that kind of power and what we are going to do with them.

1. Talking to/Controlling Plants-Trees
I chose this because I feel like talking to the trees feel enchanting. I am going to use this power when a special event or something happens in a place where trees/plants are (when I am not there), I can know what happened in that event. Another thing is you can talk to them when you are lonely.

I chose this because I want to see what would happen to future generations and how different they act from the past generations. I would also like to see if we could live forever. I would use this power to make write down how the world changed and survive global issues.

3. Time Travel
I chose this because I think time travel would be a remarkable power because you can travel to times where humans were not around. I would use this to find more about the mysteries of the world and to see how life was before modern technology.
