Day 8 - Week 2
Good morning! It is Day #8 of your journey and, according to the local weather station, today is going to be cloudy and wet. Back home in New Zealand it is sunny and 28 degrees Celsius today. It is a perfect summer day! Think about what you like to do in the summer time and complete one or more of these activities.
Activity 1
What are your favourite things to do in the summer time? For this activity you have two different options: (1) You can take a picture of yourself doing one of your favourite summer time activities and upload it to your blog along with a description of what you’re doing or (2) you can write a paragraph that tells us about what you love doing in the summer on your blog. It is completely up to you!
Answers:
In the Summer time what I like to do is going to the beach with my whole family and usually having a family barbecue at the Okahu Bay park. I also like to just stay at home and have a big water balloon war with my cousins. Usually when I stay home on a hot sunny day my mum takes my cousin and I to Macdonalds to have Frozen cokes. But the best thing for me to do during the summer is listening to my music while hanging out with my cousins.
Activity 2
Ask someone in your family or one of your friends what their favourite five things are to do in the summer time. On your blog, write the title ‘Summer Activities’ and, below the title, tell us about the five things that they love to do.

4. She loves to draw animals on her sketch book alone.
5. One last thing she loves to do is going for a walk to the park with her cousins.
Hi Mikaela,
ReplyDeleteYou gave some really thorough answers to the questions about what you like to do in the summer and what your cousin likes to do. Well done! You did a good interview with Helen!
It sounds as though you have a lot of cousins. Is that so? Do they all live nearby? That would be fun!
Our daughters, Rachel and Leigh, have a number of cousins too but when they were little we moved from a big city, Oakville, to the small town where still live today. Our town of Almonte is a 5 hour drive from the city in which Rachel and Leigh were born so it was difficult for them to see their cousins - we mostly visited at Christmas time and in the summer when everyone had holiday time and could travel.
I'm glad that you enjoy sport and, in particular, netball! Our girls both played lots of sport when they were growing up and they still play on teams now, even though they're mothers! Leigh plays volleyball, baseball and ultimate frisbee. And Rachel has played netball and goes out hiking every week. So sport can be a part of our lives for a long time!
And I'm glad that you enjoy music too. That's something else that can be a lifelong pleasure. Who is your favourite performer or band?
I've been enjoying listening to lots of Christmas music lately. I sing in a choir and we've been practising and performing over the Christmas season which has been a lot of fun! Do you sing in a choir?
It's a wintery snowy day here in Almonte today so I'm going to head out now to walk our dog. She just loves the snow!!!
I'm looking forward to reading your next blog posting!
