Another awesome Smart Learner Blog Challenge by Viliami T

Proof: Drawing

Today for my next Smart Learner Blog Challenge is to find something you drew this year. Earlier this year, I made a drawing of Lebron James also known as King James. Lebron James was picked for the 2003 NBA Draft and he was the first pick and was picked by the Cavaliers. 

His form is amazing for a 35 year old. Some people say his body is shaped like a 20 year old. Lebron James worked hard for his spot in the NBA. Some people even doubted him and now is get beaten back and fourth by him. His message is to always work hard.

Activity 6

For this activity we had to display what we have learnt as a poster or infographic and then create your poster using Google Draw. Then we had to download it as a png and insert in a blog post.

I have made a poster on ways you can keep safe from the Coronavirus.

This Challenge is when I have to blog a google draw that I have drew this year.
I drew Patrick Star using Google Draw. It was very fun and a bit hard.

Mrs Tofa's lockdown baking

Being on lockdown has enabled me to do some baking which I find really relaxing and fun. I call myself an experimental baker. I have collated the many recipes I have seen on TV, read about and been shown to create my own recipes. 

My family love my baking (well so do I but I am staying away from eating too much of my creations).

I have always wanted to bake a wedding cake but that is a bit extreme. One I don't want to waste the money to buy the ingredients to make a wedding cake, and two I don't want to agree to make someone else's wedding cake in case it is a total disaster.  Maybe one day I might just make a very small wedding cake to say I did achieve my goal. 

Easter Egg Hunt in the Parker-Tofa bubble

Today I planned an Easter Egg hunt for Kodi, Reece, my husband and my mum. Rather than just running around looking for easter eggs in random places, each person had a trail of clues to work out. 

Kodi and Reece had 13 clues each while my mum and husband had 10 clues each. Can you calculate how many clues I had to think of? After writing each clue, I had to follow the trail for each player to set their clues. 

Here are some examples of clues I created:

Raaaaaaaaaaid - fly spray

It is freezing in here - freezer 

I am fluffy, stop stepping on me = rug in our living room

You stare at me too much (Samsung) = TV

Kilograms = bathroom scale 

Electrical sweeper = vacuum

Wash, rinse, spin = washing machine

We are from Samoa, you use us when you're hot = Samoan fans (ili)

The funniest moment of the treasure hunt was when Kodi kept pressing my arm while I was busy sorting out the other players. I realised he was pressing at my arm as if I was a traffic light pedestrian button. When I asked him why he was pressing at me he said "My clue says, you press me when you finish your business". I let out a big laugh because the clue was suppose to take him to the toilet tank and not my arm. 

At the end of the Easter Egg Hunt, Kodi and Reece both completed their course as well as my mum and husband. Reece won because he finished his hunt earlier than anyone else but everyone had fun. I suppose Kodi won in the entertainment category with his pressing clue.

Kestrel's recount about being on lockdown

I went down to my aunt's house to stay and today was a boring day in lock down because there was nothing to do. My cousin bought a basketball hoop for an activity and she also bought a trampoline for another activity. 

My little cousin and I went outside to do some activity like basketball and then we played tag on the trampoline. After that we had lunch, then we went outside to play again.

Then after playing outside with my little cousin we went to have dinner.

Ali-Jon recounts what his whanau did for Good Friday

Today was Easter Day. In the morning my siblings and I had an Easter Egg hunt but who ever has the most eggs wins but still share it.

First we started outside because my dad hid five easter eggs outside so my brothers and I went off to find them. The first easter egg found was by me, the second found by my brother Mose, the third was found by my brother Lucas. The fourth one was found by my brother Lucas again. The last one was found by my brother Lucas AGAIN, by now all of the five eggs were found and it was time to go inside to find some more eggs.

My dad said "There are 10 easter eggs inside the house'' so my brothers and I went to go and find them. The first one to find one was Mose, the second was by me and the third was by Lucas. I found the fourth one and the fifth was by Mose. At the end of the Easter Egg Hunt we all had five each.

There was another one inside the house which we went to find and I found it. There were 16 eggs but we gave one to our sister Caitlyn to say Happy Easter.

We had a lot of fun, we said a prayer and said good night then went to sleep ready for the new day.
