Last Summer Learning Journey Activity!!!!

🌈Concluding the Journey🌄 

Hi bloggers, the end of Summer Learning Journey is here😓✌. I had so much fun writing the activities that we had to do on the SLJ. It is actually really fun to do the activities that the SLJ tell me to because, you get to learn new stuff all over around the world or learn facts of someone you knew. For example, I didn't know that there was a NZ fashion label company named The 27 Names. I also learned much more than this but it will take a list to list them. But sadly, this programe ends for the rest of the year, I think. By the way.. Our task was to tell this stuff on this last SLJ activity for the year.


1. Which activity you enjoyed the most

2. Which activity you enjoyed the least

3. Three things that you learned while completing the programme


4. What changes/improvements you would make to the programme for next year

So here it is!!


1. Which activity you enjoyed the most?

The activity I enjoyde the most was the activity named "Dear Jacinda"

 2. Which activity you enjoyed the least?

The activity I enjoyde the least was the activity named "The World Wide Web"

3. Three things that you learned while completing the programme?

I learned about Stephen Hawking, You Tube, and about Caine Monroy. (But I learned much more more)

4. What changes/improvements you would make to the programme for next year?

What I will improve will be to put actvities of countries around the world because, I only saw countries near NZ but not counries that have something special like Latin American countries, Asian countries, and more.

1. Richard James and Maurice James were siblings.

2.  Richard James was  a naval engineer.

3.  Maurice James was an American businessperson

That was just a quick fact about Maurice James. Did you know them? I didn't! Our task was to talk about the person we choose for the last activity of week 3! We have to tell the name of the person, a sentence about the work they do (have done), and a sentence about how they/their work has had an impact on the lives of others. So here is mine.

Richard James and Maurice James were both great people. In 1937, the McDonald brothers opened a hot dog stand in Monrovia (California) inspired by a local hot dog stand that seemed to be the only profitable business in town, and which primarily served patrons at a local racetrack. But then, they decided to start a business in the Mc Donald resturant. They buyed the resturant and made everything they neded to and made this wonderful fast food company that we know. This has impact peoples live because, some people have experience new stuff like overweight, high blood pressure, and heart disease. So thats not a good impact on peoples life. But it depends of how much you eat fast food. If you eat it like 2 times a month or 1, it will be ok. But if you eat it all the time, it will obviously affect peoples life if they eat that much fast food.
