Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 Activity 3

Hello bloggers,
In 2009, a pilot named Sully made a miracle by doing an emergency landing with 155 passengers on a plane. He landed the plane in the middle of the Hudson River, you might think that this was a tragedy, but all 155 passengers, including Sully, survived the landing. He is know well-known for the 'Miracle of Hudson'. For this activity, I have to talk about a time when I was brave.


Last year for my friends birthday, we were invited to go to Rainbow's End to celebrate. There were many fun rides, but some of them were absolutely terrifying, including the roller coaster. My sister didn't dare go on it, but I took the opportunity to enjoy everything I had there. As I boarded the roller coaster, my friend and I exchanged regretful looks. When the roller coaster fired up, my heart could've beated out of my chest. When it started, it was peaceful, until we came to the dreaded drop. All I can say is I'm glad I went on it because I might never have the chance again. I think I was brave because all my family members were frightened to go on it, and me being the youngest and only to go on it was such a big accomplishment.


I hope you enjoyed my recount of one of the bravest things I've ever done. If you have any feedback or extra comments, please feel free to let me know in the comments. What is your bravest moment? BYE!!

Hello bloggers,
Im sure you all are famous of Neil Armstrong. He was the first ever person to set foot on the moon. This momentus occasion happened in 1969. As he stepped foot on the moon he said a quote that will never be forgotten, ' That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'. He did this along with his three friends Neil Armstrog, Buzz Aldrin, and Micheal Collins. They boarded Apollo 11 for this journey. Many tragedys have occured while trying to go to the moon. You can jump really high because there is barely any gravity on the moon. So I was asked to make a poem about how I would feel if I was going to be the first person to set foot on the moon. Here it is.


While the moon rises in the milky way 
I find a picture perfect beautiful display
Rocky moon, empty sky
I truly am so up high!

My feet are trembling
It's so spine chilling
But my heart always beats in excitment
This is what I call a present

Now I am famous
Because I took the risk
I did something so couargeous



I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any feedback leave it in the comments. How would you feel if you were on the moon? BYE!!

Have you ever heard about Jean Batten or Jane Gardner Batten. Her real name is Jane Gardner Batten. She was born in 1909 in Roturua New Zealand. Later in her life she was known as Jean Batten. Around the 1930's she made serveral solo world breaking flights including, first person solo to fly from New Zealand to England and lots of trips from England to Aurtralia and Brazil.  She later died of an infection in 1982. Another amazing Aeronaut at that time was Amelia Earhart. She was also succesful, as she was the first person to fly over the Atlantic ocean. So I was asked to make a venn diagram and state some similarities and diffrences. Here it is.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 3

Hello bloggers,
Im here again with another Summer Learning Journey post. As in the previous blog post I was talking about my home country which was Nepal and Logan, Utah. Well Nepal has the tallest mountain reaching about 8848 meters, Mt everest. An earhquake hit Nepal in 2015 and approximatley killed 9000 people and somehow shrunk Mt Everest by an inch. The first person to conquere the impossibele and climb up this mountain, was Sir Edmund Hillary. Some people don't know this, but he did it along with his partner Tenzing Norgay. Suprizingly he tried three attemps before, but was unsuccesful. He has also made an impact on the planet becasue of his kind things to charity. I was now asked to choose a charity and make a brief explanation about what they do. I chose the SPCA.


The SPCA is an acronym and stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They help animals who derserve more then they have. Sadly they barley get any funding from the goverment and the money they have to help animals is from people who donate it. On the bright side they have saved numerous animals lives. An estimate amount of animals they have saved is 40k. You can also help by donating or reporting animal cruelty.


Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed my post. If you have any feedback put it in the comments. What is your favourite charity? BYE!!

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 Activity 2

Namaste and hello bloggers,
I'm back with some more of the Summer Learning Journey. New Zealand is an amazing country. Have you ever wondered who was the first to find this exceptional place. Well, lots of people recognise Kupe as the first person to find and explore New Zealand. He did so in 1300. As in the previous blog post, he used the Polynesian way find skill to navigate him here. The Maori people shortly moved into this new country. Around 343 years later, a dutch adventurer know as Abel Tasman accidentally came across this place. Since his civilisation didn't know about this country he thought this was an unexplored and new country. I was asked to talk about my home town. My hometown is Logan Utah, in the US, but I am from Nepal. Basically I was born in Utah and my parents and older brother are from Nepal. I will mainly talk about Nepal.


Nepal is an amazing place to go on for holiday. It has the tallest mountain in the world and has the only non rectangular shaped flag. Personally I have never been to Nepal, so I don't have a lot of information myself. Nepal is located between China and India. The language there is Nepali, but people use some English words. Did you know that the deepest gorge on earth (Or it's called that) is found in Nepal. Even though there are other lakes immensely bigger than this, it is still named the deepest gorge on earth. Our culture has over 33 million gods. Which one do they pray to? The capital of Nepal is Kathmandu. Nepal is in Asia.


Utah was where I was, since I was born. It was the 45th state to ever be part of the US. The capital is Salt lake city. The capital is called Salt lake city because the largest lake in the Mississippi is the Salt lake. 2002 was when Utah hosted the winter Olympics. All mountain produce about 500 inches of snow.


I hope you enjoyed this blog post if you have any feedback please lave it in the comments. Where did you and your family come from? BYE!!

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1

Hello bloggers,
I am so excited to being doing the Summer Learning Journey this year. This first ever activity for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 is about pacific navigators. Pacific natives were exceptional people. In 2017, controller, Nainoa Thompson aged 66, used an ancient Polynesian way finding skill to steer around the entire world. What's even more crazy is he did it in two canoes. If that is not crazy enough, he started his trip around the world in 2013 and landed on Aotearoa in 2015. That's two whole years! So I was asked to provide you with the 10 food items that I would bring on a a boat.

  1. Canned beans/lettuce/tuna/meat etc because it wont go rotten for a long time
  2. Dried fruits because they are easy to store and are preservable
  3. Air sealed food (like chips) as it isn't exposed to any of the elements that would spoil it
  4. Raw rice is a good option because it will never rot as long as it is preserved properly
  5. Wheat flour because simply adding water and baking it over a fire is a good way of making bread
  6. MRE's because they are designed to last a long period of time, and they have dessert!
  7. Dry lentils /beans because they last very long dry and are easy to cook
  8. Honey because it can help you when you're sick, and it's not exactly unhealthy
  9. Ghee (clarified butter) lasts long if you store it correctly and you can use it as an alternative for butter
  10. Dried pasta - it is very easy to cook and if you need to, just eat it raw!
  11. BONUS - Dried vegetables and fruits because they are healthy, easy to cook and tasty

EXTRA
Tools/other things I would bring

  1. An advanced water purifier so I wont run out of water
  2. A fishing rod for catching fish so that I have bunches of food and wont starve
  3. First aid kid for if I injure myself, I can use it
  4. A comfortable hammock with a feathery pillow so I can sleep comfortably
  5. Lots of clothes so I can change if my old ones get dirty
  6. Books/toys because I might get bored and they would perfectly suit my preference
  7. A spear to defend myself against hostile creatures
  8. Life jacket or floatie as I may go overboard, and it may save my life
  9. An extra mini raft just in case my boat sinks or breaks
  10. Finally, an album/journal so I can write about my journey and voyage along the way
Thank you for visiting my blog. If you have any feedback please leave it in the comments. I'm very hyped to start the Summer Learning Journey this year, as I really enjoyed it last year! What food items would you bring? BYE!!

Beach Description

Beach Description
As toddlers cheerfully entertained themselves, the
glistening sun towered above people, glazing. The
seagulls swiftly glided through the silent breeze.


Homosapies were muttering as rigid rocks gracefully
fell from above. 

When the sun set a gradient of scarlet and orange
tyrannised the landscape. The luminescent moon 
balanced on the starry night sky. A deafening silence
was followed by the crashing of a gigantic thunderstorm.
As people rapidly packed their things the landscape
became a blur.

As the morning sun floated above the clouds the beach
gradually became crowded. People babbling and
begging for food. It was another repetitive day of the
beach.
