Day 1: Turn of the Century (2000-2010)
Activity 1: Celebrating a Win
In 2000, the country of New Zealand celebrated when Russell Coutts and his sailing team won their second straight America’s Cup. This was the first time that a team from New Zealand had won back-to-back championships! Many people celebrated the victory with their friends and family.
On your blog, tell us what you and your family do to celebrate special events, such as birthdays. Do you have a special meal or go to a specific place? In our house, we usually make a pizza and bake a special cake. What about you?

What my family would do on a birthday is wake the person up say happy birthday let them go to school well you make a party. The next day we would go to the movie's or beach or evan pools.
Activity 2: Lord of the Rings 
Arguably one of the most famous movie trilogies of all time, The Lord of the Rings, was filmed in New Zealand. All three movies were directed by a New Zealander named Peter Jackson. The first movie was released in 2001, the second in 2002 and the third in 2003. The movies cost an estimated $300 million to produce!
Imagine that instead of spending the money on the movies, Peter Jackson decided to give all of this money to you. Lucky you! On your blog, tell us what you would do with $300 million dollars. How would you spend it? It is a lot of money so please think carefully about it and spend it wisely :-)
My Idea's with 300 million dollars
I would buy a home a car and pay off all bills, and also give some money to family and charity. And take family on holiday.
Bonus Activity: The Rise of the ‘Selfie’
Although most of you are quite familiar with the idea of taking a ‘selfie’ (picture of ourselves), this was not always the case. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that people started talking about the idea of a selfie, taking selfies and posting them online.
In honour of the rise in popularity of the ‘selfie,’ take a selfie and post it on your blog. Try to show us at least one of your hobbies or one your favourite things (maybe a special toy or book). For example, here is a selfie of Hazel drinking a big mug of tea, and Rachel with her son, Aronui, attending a Paw Patrol show!
I play rugby league and the last rugby world cup I supported Tonga because I am Tongan, and I want to be a rugby player one day.
Hey Opeti,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of traveling in first class. That would be awesome to got to any country you'd like to, but whatever charity that's getting money is gonna have heaps of money for them.
Great work
Jerome;)
Hey Opeti, it's awesome to hear how you would spend $300 million. I am glad to hear that you would give some to charity because $300 million is a lot of money and you probably don't need all of it. What else would you buy?
ReplyDeleteThank you for also sharing how your family like to celebrate special occasions. What sort of food do you usually eat when it is someone's birthday?
Thanks, Billy
Kia Ora Opeti,
ReplyDeleteReally nice work on the selfie! I like how you've included yourself holding a Rugby ball because you quite clearly really enjoy playing sport :) I also really love how you've got the Tongan flag behind you— ka rawe e hoa!
Do you often take selfies? I see girls taking selfies all of the time— it's hilarious.
Cheers,
Jordan.
