Summer Learning Journey 2019-20 | Week 3, Day 3 |activity 3

Hi, guys, today is the third week of the SLG. That stands for the summer learning journey. The purpose of it is for when you back to school from the big holiday your reading and writing does not drop in level. If you do not do the SLJ in the summer the stuff that you did through the year you will need to do all of it again. 




Activity 3: Need for Speed [6 points]
We have had many inventors here in New Zealand who have created things that have changed the world. Two of these inventors were Bill Hamilton (1899-1978) and John Britten (1950-1995).
Bill Hamilton grew up on a farm in the South Island of New Zealand. One of his first inventions was a tow rope to pull skiers up a ski field. His most famous invention, however, is the development of the modern jet boat engine. It allows boats, like the Huka Falls Jet, to travel at lightning speed along rivers. Bill Hamilton invented the jet boat to solve a problem.
John Britten, on the other hand, loved to rebuild vehicles, including motorbikes. He set up the Britten Motorcycle Company from his garage in Christchurch, New Zealand. One of his bikes, the V1000, won a number of international races and set a world speed record for going 304km per hour! Wow! Now that is fast…!

Speaking of fast, for this activity we would like you to design your own fast vehicle. It can be anything! Please draw your super-fast vehicle on paper or use an app to help you. If it was me, I would make my super-fast vehicle something that I could use to get to school and home again each day!
On your blog, post a picture of your speedy vehicle along with a written description of how it works. Tell your readers what your vehicle is made of, any special features, how fast it goes, and who might use your vehicle.

    Mōrena David!

    My name is Mikey. I work with Emma and Gabe on the Summer Learning Journey programme and I'll be commenting on some of you wonderful blog posts. I'm so pleased that you've decided to take part in the programme this year. Have you done the Summer Learning Journey before?

    That does look like a super quick car! What kind of car is it?

    Unfortunately we won't be able to award you the full number of points for this post as the activity asks you to draw your own vehicle and write a description about what it does and what it's made of. If you'd like to edit this activity to include those things I'd love to read it and then we'll be able to give you the points.

    Thanks David! :)

    Have a great day.

    Mā te wā,

    Mikey
