Day 16

Activity 1:
On German Unity Day, I would eat sausages and sauerkraut, go to as much museums as I could and see all the festivities and parties that happen on that day.

Activity 2:
Germany's holiday would be called German's Are Noble Day. All people would have the option of going to a service in the cities that are all about how the Germans came about and how Germany was founded. They would eat historical German foods to mark the occasion which are made for them.

Bonus Activity:
Whilst a lot of people in New Zealand go to organised celebrations, my family do not do so. Instead we tend to use the time as an extra day off work or school and normal chill out or go to the South Island to visit relatives.

Day 15

Activity 1:
1. I like the painting because it has lots of colour and I like colour
2. If I could buy the painting for someone then I would buy it for my mother

Activity 2:
I would feel happy that I had to leave school because I could help out around the house more and do things to help my family. It would give me more time to play lego at home so I would be happy.

Bonus Activity:
1.The Signal Corps was responsible for battlefield communication
2.The Field Artillery fired at the enemy gun batteries and infantry
3.Our "Long Tom" rifles could carry 10 bullets, but each ehad to be loaded individually

Day 5

Activity 1:
Spartan Gold is a book by Clive Cussler. It is a book about the Fargos, Sam and Remi, who find a UM34 sub from World War I which was used by the Germans. They find a bottle of wine from Napoleon's lost cellar which was made by Henri Archambault on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte by a carrier pigeon from Ebla. They then track down where the man who found them which is at Chateau d'if.

Sam and Remi are multi-millionaires who made their money by making a argon laser scanner that can detect and tell metals and can identify them from a distance. They sold it to the highest bidder after four years and turned to treasure hunting which they both liked to do.

Activity 2:
I chose Book 2-Matilda by Roald Dahl
Matilda is a book by a classic author who is famous through out the world. It will also help curious kiwi learn new words that are real and words that are made up by Roald Dahl. It also gives a good sense of mystery as some of the characters that are most unlike each other are related.

Bonus Activity:
I looked around the room. Nothing seemed unusual, but then I noticed that my key ring to my vault was missing. I looked around for it when I found a fingerprint on my desk which looked a lot like my mothers. I ran down the stairs to the dining room, looking for my mother, through into the kitchen before finding her in the lounge. I questioned her about my missing key ring and she said that she had been tidying up my room and had seen the key ring on the ground and put it in my desk. I did not know how my key ring had ended up on the fall but I was onto the mystery of it. I came to a conclusion that my albino peacocks had gotten in to the house through the gate which my brother had left open and had made the key ring fall onto the ground.
