Title	How to have a fun weekend
Introduction	In this writing I am going to talk to you about things you can do to have a fun weekend.
Information 1st element	First idea to have fun weekend is: go hang out with your friends. Things to do with your friends, If it is a hot day you can have a water squirt. If it is a rainy day you can plan a sleepover or play board games like: Jenga, Monopoly, Puzzles, or play card games. When you have a sleepover you can have a midnight feast which is you wake up until midnight which is 12:00 am and you sneak into the kitchen and grab all the junk food in the fridge and cupboards and you run to your room and you eat som of the junk food and your mum or dad will come into the room staring at you eating all the food.
Information 2nd element	Another Idea to have fun on the weekend is to spend time with your family, you could have a BBQ with your whole family and you can get together and meet one another. You could all go to watch a movie together and have popcorn and drinks. Or you could go to do the swimming and bring cake or cupcakes and after your swim you can have a big feast with cakes and cupcakes.  Your family could also have fancy dinner and go to restaurants like Valentines or go Burger King, McDonald, KFC, or you could go to great tongs and you could have sweet and sour with is pork with this yum red sauce.
Information 3rd element	Last Idea to have fun on the weekends is you could spend time with next door neighbour because you have to know something about the person living next to you, the person at the back of I know her because we just meet and we talked about a lot of stuff and then they moved to my school Pt England and he name is Amelia she is a year 8. So you should talk with your next door neighbour and then you play with them a lot then you will be so used to them you might even have sleep overs or you will give her/he a invitation to you birthday party or take he/her to a trip to the zoo, rainbow end, parakai, or something that you both like. You could also take them to a game of netball if it is a girl but if it is a boy you could take him to a game of rugby, or basketball.
Conclusion	So to have fun weekend is  to spend time with people you love and people you want to be friends with. Spend time with people you don't know but you might know a little something about them.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 16 - Activity 2 - My Public Holiday

I have to write about:

Create a brand new public holiday for the country.  Use your creativity to come up with a name for the holiday and a short description of how people in the country celebrate the holiday. Do they all get the day off? Do they eat special foods or go to special events to mark the day?

I will call my public holiday NZ Fam's day which is a day you spend a day with your family, and everyone will have a day off from there work. Also the special food will be biscuits, cake, pork and pizza.  Also the special market that you can go to will be sky city in the sky tower.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 4 - Day 16 - Activty 1 - National Holidays

I am writing about:

Imagine that you are visiting on the national holiday of your chosen country. On your blog tell us what you would eat, see and do on that day.

I am choosing out of these country's.

Canada – The national day in Canada is called ‘Canada Day.’ It is celebrated on 1 July every year. People in Canada like to celebrate the holiday by getting together with friends, having a meal and setting off fireworks. People usually eat food from the barbecue on Canada Day. Some of the most popular foods are hot dogs, hamburgers, poutine (fries with gravy and cheese), and nachos.  

Chile – The national day in Chile is called the Fiestas Partrias of Chile. It is celebrated on two different days - 18 September and 19 September. The people of Chile love to celebrate their national days by going to watch Chilean rodeos, dancing the cueca (a traditional dance), watching parades and going to barbecues. Food is a very important part of the celebration. Chileans like to eat lots of meat. A popular dish is called pino (a mixture of beef and onion).

Germany – The national day in Germany is called The Day of German Unity. It is celebrated on 3 October each year. Everyone in Germany has the day off from school and work. They usually get together with friends and family to enjoy some delicious food. Some of their favourite foods are sausages, potato salad, and sauerkraut (sour cabbage).

Malaysia – The national day in Malaysia is called Hari Merdeka or Independence Day. It is celebrated every year on 31 August. It is a public holiday and the people of Malaysia usually celebrate by having large parades, concerts and events. The military men and women in Malaysia usually participate in the parades. The children in Malaysia usually get dressed up in their best clothes and people eat very traditional Malaysian foods.

United Kingdom – There is currently no official national day in the United Kingdom, however, there are many public holidays that people celebrate. They are usually called ‘bank holidays’ because the banks close on those days. The British people love to get together with family and friends on the bank holidays. They will often go to watch a horse racing or greyhound racing on a holiday. They may also get together at a local pub to watch a game of football (soccer) or rugby on the television. Common foods to eat on the bank holidays include English favourites such as fish and chips or pies.

Mexico – The national day in Mexico is celebrated over two days – 15 and 16 September. It is a very special time for the people of Mexico as it represents the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain. The war started in 1810 and ended in 1821. Each year the current Mexican president re-enacts the ‘call for independence’ by ringing a bell. Everyone in Mexico has time off over this period and many spend time with their family and friends. They share special food together like enchiladas, cecinas, and bistec. Some Mexicans will participate in parades and engage in folklore dancing.

South Africa – Freedom Day is celebrated on the 27th of April in South Africa. It celebrates freedom and commemorates the first elections held in 1994 in South Africa where both white and black people were allowed to vote. Prior to 1994, only white people were allowed to vote. Black people had very limited voting rights. On Freedom Day, the people of South Africa celebrate by eating special dishes likes Vetkoek (Fried bread with filling), bobtie (spicy quiche), and peppermint crisp tarts.

United Arab Emirates – The national day in the United Arab Emirates is celebrated every year on 2 December. It makes the day that the seven emirates (territories) came together in 1972. On UEA National Day people often dress up in green, white, black and red and attend car rallies and dance shows. They will also decorate their homes with banners and attend large firework shows and concerts. It is a huge day of celebration!

Japan – In Japan, the national day is celebrated on 11 February. It is called ‘National Foundation Day’ and it honours the original founding of Japan and the reign of the first emperor, Jimmu. On National Foundation Day, some people in Japan will gather together to celebrate, however they do not usually have large parties or celebrations. Most people will have the day off of work.

Australia – The National Day of Australia, or Australia Day, is held every year on 26 January. It is a huge event in Australia with most people attending local community festivals, concerts or parties. New Australian citizens are sworn in on the 26th of January and everyone has the day off of work. It is common for people to get together with friends to have a barbecue. Steak and chips are often on the menu!

Out of these country's I choose Australia because I love steak and chips, also I love barbecue's. Also the 26th of January is only 10 more days left. I love concerts and festivals or parties but my family is usually late every time we go. I would love if my dad had a day of from his very hard work.
