LeBron James is one of the most famous professional basketball players in the world. He currently plays in the NBA (National Basketball Association) for the Los Angeles Lakers. He has won numerous awards over the years, helping his teams win many important games.

Steven Adams also plays in the NBA, but unlike LeBron, Steven comes from Rotorua, New Zealand and is the half-brother of Olympic gold medalist Valerie Adams. That’s a pretty cool family connection, isn’t it?! Steven Adams currently lives in the United States and plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.

Despite being born in different countries, these two incredible basketballers have a number of similarities. Both men came from humble beginnings. Neither of their families had a lot of money, and neither man grew up with a father at home. Even though they faced challenges, they were able to overcome them. Both men are examples of what is possible when you work hard and believe in yourself.

________________________________________________________________________

For this activity, we would like you to imagine that you had the chance to interview LeBron James, Steven Adams or another basketball player of your choice.

On your blog, tell us who you would interview and then provide a list of five questions that you would like to ask your chosen player.

________________________________________________________________________

The Task =

My chosen player is Michael Jordan, I will be asking five questions upon him, let's  get to it!

1. Who/What has motivated you to play basketball?
2. How did it feel once you got selected for the Chicago Bulls?
3. Do you like your position when you play? If not what will you change your position too? 
4. How did you feel playing the 15 seasons, was it worth the 6 wins? 
5. Did you want to become a basketball player before this all happen? If so, what path would you go Studying? Other sports? a different career.

Superpowers!

Summer Learning Journey Task Description:

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 Mangere, 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 given 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, let’s imagine that you could be a superhero for a day. What three superpowers would you most like to have?

On your blog, please list the three superpowers, tell us why you have chosen each one, and tell us what you are going to do with them.

________________________________________________________________________

Ok, So it's my time to explain what are the three powers that I will be!

1.) It will have to be 'Nature'. If your thinking "What do you mean by that?" and have no clue what I mean by this is. What heroes need to do is save humanity & the world, right? So I'm talking about saving the world (earth) If I use my powers to save all plants, trees, flowers and the environment it will affect life on earth to be easier to live!

2.) Telekinesis, Telekinesis is a handy superpower too. Using it to save people from danger, heights, falling & life-threatening situations (If I'm ever in one) Grabbing items in seconds make a whole group of differences, but I wouldn't like to be lazy so I'll use it for emergencies! 

3.) Levitating, Flying will be one of the coolest of superpowers! I'll just fly up into the sky and look for trouble to release.  

I still have a few more and what I mean by that is a lot more where that came from! I enjoyed this task very much see you in another blog post!

The 'First' step on the moon

On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon. Here is a link to some different poetry forms.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Ok, so before I get "Hope, this was supposed to be a poem about Neil Armstrong? Why do I see more things?...About those, I feel like adding more to my post because why not? So if you don't mind let's continue with the activity. 

In this project, I've designed a google drawing acrostic, poem & quote explaining how I believably imagined Neil Armstrong felt taking his first steps on the moon. I've taken a screenshot of the task and here were the results! With me not knowing how to create a  poem I simply just wrote sentences about the incident two times with a conclusion at the end! Hopefully, it works out to be a poem and I enthusiastically enjoyed this task!

The First Female Solo Aviators

On your blog, share your comparison between the two women and be sure to include at least three similarities and three differences between these two aviators.








Task Classification:
In this activity, I will be presenting this screenshot of what Jean Batten & Amelia Earhart have & don't have in common. What do they have in common that we don't know of, well the two females are both aviators, not knowing what the word means? It specifically means (pilot)  in a more elegant way.

With no more spoilers, I'll be sure to answer all your comments if you do!

Onion Cells/Cheek Cells ~ Microscope Drawings

First off we started with our partners of 2. Since everybody had a partner I had to be by myself which was easier for me to just doing and yeah. After you have your buddy you will be given a small glass slide where you put your cheek cells onto. We used a popsicle stick to collect the cheek cells. When we have finished we add a drop of saline solution which is known as (saltwater sodium and chlorine). Letting that dry a bit we add in dye (Methylene). Leaving that for a bit we dip it into the water and clean off all liquids without touching it. Here is a drawing of 4 of my cheeks cells. By the way, the space in the middle is not counted as a cell.

During the breaks when we were waiting for the cells to dry. We drew a picture of 4-5 onion cells. We followed a lady drawing the onion cell and these were the results.
