Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 • Week 3 • Day 2 - Activity 2

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today I will be doing another activity for the Summer Learning Journey. Enjoy!

Activity 2: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) was an English scientist who was interested in studying the origin (beginning) of the universe. When he was just 21 years old, he was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease and, over time, he lost the ability to walk and talk. He needed to use a wheelchair to move around and a computer to help him talk. The computer made his voice sound a bit funny but, most importantly, it meant he could still communicate with people.

Despite his diagnosis, Stephen Hawking lived a long and very productive life. He showed great determination and perseverance because he didn't let his physical challenges stop him. He didn't quit. Instead, he 'overcame the odds' and achieved a huge amount in his life.

For this activity, we had to recount a time when we or someone we know experienced a challenge and overcame it.

This happened last year in the A&P show, my sister and I was really excited about riding the rides and eating food. But when we rode on a particular ride my sister was terrified. It was the ride where you go up, down and turn around in circles. She said it was really scary because we were so high up and she was scared that we might fly off. To solve this problem my sister and I created a little song to cheer her up and distract her for when we go up and down. After the ride finished she said she really enjoyed and I was really proud of her for facing her fear.

Happy Children's day's 2018!

Happy Children's day!

Children's day was again celebrated, on Sunday March 4th.  Today we celebrated Children's day near New Brighton road, it was a bright and sunny day so it was perfect but it was also very very hot.  When we arrived it was packed, when I came in my family and I lined up in the bumper boats because my sister really wanted to ride it.  It was a very fun and cool experience, my sister and I bumped to each other and almost fell off.  Next we ate some sausages, then we collected many things like balls stickers, I also shot some ball's in under 30 second unfortunately I only scored 6.   We also had a face paint and I tried balancing a tub of water while walking on thin wood.  But I few minutes later it got some hot that my family and I decided to go. 

I was a very fun and cool experience. 

Children's Day 2017

Children's day was celebrated every first Sunday of March, today March 5 we went to New Brighton Road to celebrate children's day with my family. There were lots of fun activities like music, food and mostly games.  It took 45 minutes to fall in line in one game.  When I finally got my turn at the aqua boat, It was really fun I keep on bumping to the sides. I also got my face painting and a picture with a bee mascot.  

I learned to be a little bit more patience as I need to wait for my turn in every activities there.  These are one of the memorable days with my family especially with my little sister that I always treasure in my life.

Here are my pictures
