After a long time of placing dots and connecting the dots I found out that the secret drawing was a helicopter. I didn’t know what it was at first because I had my paper upside down but then my friend told me to turn it around and then it revealed the secret image.

In this activity we were introduced to stastical investigation. Me and my partner Matheus created a question and asked Do kids in LS2 have pets and if yes What pet/pets do you have.

I introduced tourist attractions, Niue History, Niue sports and Niue facts. In the Niuean tourist attractions I put the Matapa Chasim and the Avatele beach. The Matapa Chasim is a really good place for snorkeling as there’s a lot of fish and coral to see. The Avatele beach is a good place for swimming after a hot day as the water leads right to the ocean. For Niue History I added all the importance bits of the Niuean such as the first world war in 1914.

LI: To learn the importance of sleep
In this activity we learnt the importance of Sleep. Technology affects our sleep because it confuses our brain and makes it think that it is daytime because if the bright LEDS. Humans need sleep to help support their growth and to help their brain reset. Our ancestors had a weird sleep pattern as they had their first sleep which was from 7am to 12am, then they have their “me time” from 12am to 2:30 and then sleep from 2:30 to 6am. So our ancestors had a more healthy sleep pattern than us. Let’s look at what the right amount of sleep we need at each age. Infants need 10 – 15 hours, Toddlers need 10 – 13 hours, young kids need 10 – 11 hours of sleep, teens need 8 – 10 hours of sleep and adults need 7 – 9 hours. Let’s look at our group, All of us get 7 – 8 hours of sleep each night. Sleep Apnea is a really dangerous disability, This is when someone will repeatedly stop breathing in their sleep.
I enjoyed this activity because we learnt the importance of sleep.

I found this activity shocking because it has created a new perspective of how different kids sleep around the world.
