🔭🛶Captain James Cook🛶🔭WALT: I am learning to summarise a text

Hello and Welcome to my blog!

Throughout the week my teacher has been teaching us about "Polynesian Voyagers". In our reading groups we were given different books related to "New Zealand History". My group's book was about "Captain James Cook". The challenge for making this timeline is that it was very hard to find the information.

Here is the timeline I have made using Timeline Maker

🛶⛵Polynesian Voyagers/Polynesian Wayfinders⛵🛶

These are facts that I have learnt according to the topic “Polynesian Voyagers or Polynesian Wayfinders”.

_____________________________________________________________________

Polynesia is 160 million square kilometres. Polynesia is known to be bigger than Russia.

Early Polynesians eventually settled a vast area of islands spread over 40 million square kilometres of the pacific ocean.

Their voyagers began voyaging around 1500 B.C. when the people who had settled Polynesia first set sail from South East Asia.

Ancient Polynesians used the sun, moon, stars, planets, ocean currents and clouds as guides.

Voyagers became less frequent by around 1300 A.D. as Polynesian societies became more rooted in specific locations.

👩 🍳Making Sweet and Sour Pork👩 🍳

👩 🍳Making Sweet and Sour Pork👩 🍳

Today at technology for cooking we made sweet and sour pork. It was very fun making it. My partner helping to make this was Josephine. My opinion of making sweet and sour pork was that it was very challenging because when I was frying the vegetables and the meat I kept on getting the oil on myself. But as for my partner she did really good while cooking sweet and sour pork.

My Role Model

A role model who inspires me is Tupac Amaru Shakur. He is a famous rapper and also shows caringness and he also shows love while he performs. 

Tupac is a famous rapper who raps about the true things in life. He has been committed to rapping for several years. He became a famous rapper after he had made his first album which was “2Pacalypse Now” .An example of how Tupac is a famous rapper is that he raps with good speed knowing when to stop to take a breath. He always has a purpose of what he raps about.By being committed to rapping he has been continually practising his rapping. 

Being a caring rapper is also another reason why Tupac is my role model.Tupac has positive caringness for other celebrities he meets or collaborates when making a song. An example of Tupac showing caringness to others is that he always helps others make lyrics for a song.Being a caring rapper is important because it helps you to build positive and caring relationships with others. 

Showing love is one BIG reason why Tupac is my role model.Tupac always showed love to other celebrities he collaborated with or hung out with.An example of Tupac showing love to his fans and other celebrities is that he loved them for who they are.Being a loving rapper is important because it helps you be able to communicate with others during anytime. 

Last of all, Tupac is my role model because he is a famous rapper that is caring and also a rapper who shows love to everyone. Even though he passed away on the 13 September 1996 I still admire him.
