On Friday 18th of May we stayed overnight at school, doing a lot of challenges like the Live It challenge which is staying overnight at school, the Sweat It challenge which is where we make items that are really needed to help your community, and the Move It challenge which is where you walk, run, swim, cycle or play a sport for 24 hours to see what it felt like carry heavy things for hours in Timor-Leste.
Now I'm gonna answer 5 questions.
What does “1 day of difference for a lifetime of change” mean to you?
1 day of difference for a lifetime of change doesn't mean much to me all it is that I am doing something bigger than what I would normally do.
What has been a challenge for you so far during the day and what was challenging for you at night?
Well in the day it was hard because I was running so much playing basketball because of the move it challenge and at night it was a little bit hard because I had very little space in my hut.
What connections can you make with the people of Timor-Leste/ those living in poverty from your experience in our Caritas Challenge so far?
It must be very very hard because some people might not even have a box to stay in they might of just had a jersey to sleep with.
What could you do to help those living in poverty in our local community?
We could start a fundraiser (like this) and donate the money you raise to City Mission or Caritas, or if you see someone that doesn't have food or looks poor you could give them some water or some food.
What have you learned about Social Justice and Empathy?
I have learnt thats Social justice is actually helping them by giving them food or water, and doing something nice for them, and Empathy is to be able to know how they feel go inside of them and feel what they are feeling.
What do you think about the challenge?

Technology
Every Monday the Kaupeka hub (My Hub) go to Technology which is at Linwood College Technology. Every Term at Tech we do a different thing, this year there is Food, Electronics, Fabrics, and Metal. Last term I was in Food, but this term I'm in electronics.
In Electronics for the first week we learnt about circuits, what some of the electronic things do that are usually inside of a phone, and on the second week we started testing circuit to see if the light bulb went on, third week we made our on circuit, then this week we chose what design we want to put on our plastic board thing.
If do you do for technology? And if you don't do technology then what would you do out of these choices Food, Plastics, Fabric, Metal, Electronics, and Woodwork?

My goals for this year
It is 2018 now I want to set some goals for me to reach at the end of the year.
My goals are: To get my work done, get better at basketball and rugby, be a good leader at school. Look after the school environment, work collaboratively with everyone, and be a good role model. And to make sure I achieve those goals I need to not sit next to my friends and work well with everyone
What are your goals for this year? Tell me in the comment section

Bridle Path and Ferrymead
On Friday at 9:00 a.m 16th of March half of my homebase and I stayed at school, while the other half went to Ferrymead and learnt about the 1860s and what they wore and what they did back then. While waiting we finished some work the we needed to finish until we had to go to Bridle Path. As soon as it hit 10:25 we grabbed our bags and lined up outside on the netball court and hopped on the bus. It was a short ten to fifteen minute drive to the Gondola and Bridle Path.
When the bus arrived at our destination, the Bridal Path, we walked off sat down on the concrete and started eating our morning tea. When the teachers said to get into our groups with our adult, we stopped eating, got into our groups walked around the corner and started walking up the Bridle Path. It was fun at the start when we walked up. But then when we got up more steeper hills it got worse, but eventually we found a chair that we could sit down on. So I took a seat and sat there for a few minutes.
When I was finished we continued walking up Bridal Path about ten or so minutes later we were up the path on on a road. My group and I were supposed to walk up a path but we missed it and kept walking around the corner of the road up the top if you look over you could see the whole city, but you didn't want to get to close too the edge or else obviously you would fall. Once you walked up around the corner you had to walk up a small hill and through the door, walk up a little bit of stairs and you were inside. As soon as my group got up we walked through another and to the Time Tunnel, once you had finished on the Time Tunnel your group walked over to the gondola hopped in and it would started to move down.
It was really high up but the view was great, once me and my group reached the bottom we waited for the teacher to come in the van and take us to Ferry mead, at Ferry mead we sat down on the grass and started eating our lunch with everybody. Once we were finished eating our lunch me and some of my friends started playing tag. As soon as everybody had finished eating their lunch we walked down a driveway until we reached this old fire station we lined up into a boys line and a girls line. We started walking to this building/hall walked in sat down on the chairs put the 1950s school uniforms on over the top of our own ones played some games and also got to bake some scones and eat them.
Have you ever walked the Bridle Path and gone in the gondola? Tell me in the comment section below!

My Holidays
Hello and welcome back. It is 2 weeks into Term 2 and my holidays were really fun, for the first week I stayed at home and played Fortnite. I got dropped off to my Nana and Grandad's place and I watched Netflix over there, and played Fortnite. In the second week I went on a week trip to Westport, the Treetop walk in Hokitika, Greymouth, and Hanmer Springs with my Nana, Grandad, my three cousins, and my two sisters. It was a great trip and when we got back it was sleep time because I was really tired after that trip.
How were your holidays?
