me myself and I

Kia ora, my name is Ngapua I'm a year 12 at Bay of islands college and this is my first blog since December 5th 2019. Today I would like to talk to you all about my experience so far at Bay of Islands College in the building academy class. So far I love it, learning new things such as simple things like knowing the names of different tools, knowing what types of timber like 4x2 and 6x2 etc. I've contributed to helping out building the school a new PE shed to hold our school equipment such as javelins, high jump mats and more. I've also help build the school a new long jump pit box and right now we're in the process of a new retaining wall right outside of the hall for everyone to sit on during how days underneath the tree above the retaining wall and a new foot path below the canteen for because the old foot path has cracked and isn't quite good looking anymore. Also once every week I go out on mondays with WhaOut builders to get a more deeper  understanding and to also gain experience of what a real work day is and how it will be if I keep choosing the path of a builders career. 

Activity 3# Christopher Columbus

Hello again today we are still getting a taste of what the summer learning journey feels like but I still think it´s a waste of my holiday time. For today we are doing the third activity. I have chosen to do Barack Obama.

Barack Obama you have laid peace to all, your kind words have inspired people to be good and not commit crimes. Your kindness has had an impact on my life to do good things.

Activity 2# Sport & leisure. G.O.A.T

Today we are doing activity 2. For this activity we are able to choose what we wanted to do. I chose to learn about Garry Kasparov, one of the best chess players of all time. Here are some facts

Garry Kasparov is a famous chess player and one of the best chess players of them all. He ranked best chess player for 15 years straight, until the greatest chess game between the best players of all time. Garry Kasparov vs Bobby Fischer. At the end Bobby Fischer won the greatest battle. Garry Kasparov is now second best chess player in the world.

My advantages.
1. practice every day.                                                             1.It takes up a lot of family and friends time.

2. Play against people that are better than me to get better.    2.It takes hard work.

3. Thinking about what strategy I am going to use                 3.It takes a long time for some to learn and understand.

Today we we´re researching about Lorde or Ella. She is currently 23 years old, she was born in 1996 on the 7th of November. The reason we are researching this person because we are getting a taste of what the Summer Learning journey activity are like. In my opinion I feel I don´t have enough time to do the S,L,J in my holidays.

Legacy writing

Ski Camp 2019

This year we went to Mt Ruapehu for our ski camp.
It was really fun and the part I like was skiing on the top part of the Mountain, We went for ski lessons for the people who didn't know how to ski.
It was really cool skiing and really easy for me and a few people.

Should animals be kept as pets?

I'm learning to do persuasive writing. Our topic is Should animals be kept as pets? In my opinion is yes they should. The easy part was persuading and the hard part is getting more ideas.


I strongly believe that animals should be kept as pets because they are your companion through your darkest times and your most lonely times. Secondly I believe animals should be kept as pets because they guide blind people to their home or shops. Finally I strongly believe that animals should be kept as because they protect you from other dangerous animals and people, also they are good friends to people that are always lonely.
