Activity 2: Caine’s Arcade

For this activity we would like to know about your favourite game. It can be a board game, a card game, a game that you play outside with friends (e.g., rugby) or a quiet game that you play by yourself.

On your blog, tell us about your favourite game. What is it called? How do you play it?

My favorite sport to play outside is netball.

How you play :

To play netball, start by breaking up into 2 teams of 7 players. Then, decide which 2 players on each team will be able to score, and have the rest of the players be on defense. To score in netball, shoot a ball through your team's goal ring while you're standing inside the goal circle

DAY 4: HAUORA

For this activity, please follow this link to view the list of Nobel Prize winners, choose one, read about them and then share your learning on your blog.

On your blog, tell your readers who you chose and then tell us about them in five to ten sentences. Who were they? What did they do that was so special? Feel free to include a picture of your chosen Nobel Prize winner on your blog.

I have chosen Peter Handke, he was born on the 6 of December 1942. Peter handke was living in chaville in France at the time. He won the Noble Prize in Literature 2019 for his influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”

Activity 2: Printing Prosthetics

For this activity, we would like you to learn more about 3D printed prosthetics (artificial body parts, like hands or arms). Please watch this video about 3D printed prosthetics (artificial body parts, like hands or arms).

On your blog, tell your readers:

1. One thing that you learned from watching this video
2. One thing that surprised you when watching this video

The one thing that I learned from this video was they said making these hands looking like this because they connected it to how kids love super heroes like iron man cause he has a hand like this. Also they are giving them out for free.

The one thing I was surprised at was I never knew these existed I thought only the leg one was invented, also the price surprised me but I understand cause it takes a lot of hard work and time to make these. I'm very surprised that it can work on the kids who lost their palm too.

#Week 3 DAY 3: INVENTIVE INVENTORS

For this activity, please visit the ‘Build Tiny New Zealand’ website and scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find a series of Video Tours of tiny houses. Watch any three videos on the site.

On your blog, tell us whether, or not, you would like to live in a tiny house one day. Please be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.

I would love to live in a tiny house house because it's my dream to live in those houses cause it looks very spacious and its just good for me to live in. Also the best part is that it can be built to match my lifestyle and how I want it to be, the on thing that I fell in love with in the tiny houses is that you can lift the top of the stairs and there is more room in there to put things in there.

Activity 3: Putting Our Heads Together

For this activity, we would like you to imagine that John Kirwan, Mike King and/or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge called you up and asked you to design a new poster for their organisation. You could use Google Draw to help design your poster.

On your blog, post a final copy of your poster and include a description of the poster. What is on the poster? Why did you include the pictures or words that you did? The more that you can tell us about your design, the better!


This is my poster and why I chose Emotional Health was because I know a lot of people who is very in control  of their feelings , thougts & opinion of people around them. For myself I'm a talker and I'm also a straight forward person so if I have something in my head I just say it but I am manging it well to keep my mouth shut.
