Summer Learning Journey Day 1 Activity 2 Week 2


My thing to do is swimming in the rain. I want to swim because I want to see the sea life underwater.
Activity 2: The Great Taupo Cycle Challenge [4 points]

Every year approximately 7500 people arrive in Taupo, New Zealand to compete in a one-day cycling race around Lake Taupo. The race route is 160 km in length. Participants can choose to compete in the full race or the half-race (80 km). Let’s imagine that you were given a free ticket to compete in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge next year and you were able to bring three people with you as your ‘support crew.’ Who would you bring with you?
If it was me, I would choose my son, Aronui, as one of my supporters because he’s really funny and energetic. I think that he would make sure that I had a great time and that I spent the entire day laughing and smiling. I would also choose my sister, Leigh, because she is very strong and fast. Thirdly, I would choose my co-leader, Hazel, because she is very organised and would make sure that we followed the trail and didn’t get lost!
On your blog, list the three people you would like to have on your Lake Taupo Cycle Race Support Crew. Tell us why you have chosen each person.
The three people I would have chosen was my friends from school. Charis, Iverson and Josaia. I chose Charis because we always chat to each other on chats. I chose Iverson because he was my first friend and we became friends in kindergarten. I chose Josaia because he always plays with me, Iverson and Charis.
