For SLJ ( Summer Learning Journey ), we were instructed to write a positive comment to anybody's blog. In your comments or when you are writing your comment, it includes: ask a question, you should be positive, make a connection, you should be careful with humour, and ALWAYS RE-READ your COMMENT. I decided to go on my classmate Langiola's blog and comment on her blogs.
COMMENT:
I wish my parents a huge Merry Christmas and also everyone in the world. Even to my fabulous teacher Luti Tafea and her husband Kelly Tafea! I hope everybody has a great day celebrating Christmas.

This year, my teacher Mrs Tafea has teached a lot of new things for learning. She has teached new TOPICS for all of the subjects in learning.
CHALLENGES:
This year has been challenging because of Covid 19. All stores and schools were locked, people have been banned from contacting people, people were told to stay at home to save lives and stay safe, people had to contact online, we also had to practise social distancing. It has been also hard (for Mrs Tafea) because many of the students in class don’t do any of the work that has been given.
My favourite things to do:
At school I like to play sports, but I like to do learning in class way more than games. I also like to help other students who need help, I like learning new topics about each subject. My favourite subject is Maths and Reading. I like Maths because everytime after school, I go home and challenge my brother (he says he didn’t learn ANYTHING about it! HAHA). I like Reading because there are always new and hard questions and instructions that we have to do! “SO MUCH FUN!”
My favourite/new things that I have learned this year:
In class, I have so many things that I like about that I have learned in 2020. I have learned ratio ( BEDMAS), order of operation, mixed fraction, magic numbers, 3 level questioning ( critical questioning ) and much more! I have a friend who is also good with her Samoan. She speaks to me when she is struggling with anything in her work, her name is Janett Hala. My most common favourite project that I have done/learned this year is the “HUMAN BODY PART BOOKLET”. I and my buddy Janett have worked so HARD to complete everything that is in the booklet now (but we have finished it).
Highlight:
My highlight is to reach my goals and to help other students. I am also trying to get a prize at the end of the year to make my parents proud ( I GOT A PRIZE! ). I also want to beat my level this year (2020) or next year (2021). I think I have achieved my goal because the teacher and I had a one to one conferencing when she shared my curriculum levels for the end of the year. The teacher kept saying that she is so happy and proud with my achievements and that might mean something.
The systems I think it is important:
I think the most important system in our body is the reproductive system and the respiratory system because the reproductive system for the females is different from the males, the female's reproductive system provides more humans so there can be a lot of people in the world. The respiratory system helps us breathe in fresh, new air called “oxygen” so we can stay ALIVE and it helps us breathe out wasted air called “carbon dioxide”.

The hardest bone in your body is your teeth, an adult has 32 teeths in their body. If there are 100 people, there will be 32 00 teaths altogether.
How many times do you breathe in a day? How many times in 5 ½ years?
A healthy adult breathes about 23, 000 times a day. In 5 ½ years, you breathe 126500 times.
How much of your brain is water? How much is 10 people’s brain?
¾ of your brain is water and for 10 people’s brain, 7.5 of their brain is water.

How many bones in 10 people’s feet? How many ligaments in 20 people’s feet? How many muscles in 30 people’s feet?
Your foot contains 26 bones, there are 2600 bones in 10 people’s feet. There are 2,400 ligaments in 20 people’s feet. For 30 people, there are 600 muscles altogether.
How many bones in your body? How many bones are there in 50 people?

Learn how to do ratio by looking and reading this activity I have done! I HOPE YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT RATIOS
Skeletal System-
The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals.
FACTS-
Your skeleton is made of more than 200 bones
The body has two types of bone
Bones are filled with a spongy tissue
The smallest bone in the body is in your ear
The longest bone in the body is in your leg

MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE SKELETAL SYSTEM-
The skeletal system is your body's central framework. It consists of bones and connective tissue, including cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It's also called the musculoskeletal system.
Muscular System-
The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
FACTS-
Muscles make up approximately 40 percent of total weight.
The heart is the hardest-working muscle in the body. ...
The gluteus maximus is the body's largest muscle. ...
The ear contains the smallest muscles in the body alongside the smallest bones.
IMAGE-
MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM-
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture and circulates blood throughout the body.
Circulatory System-
The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.
FACTS-
The circulatory system in the human body stretches 66,000 miles, more than two and a half times the circumference of the Earth.
The heart beats 2.5 billion times during the life of a 75-year-old.
The heart expels 2 ounces of blood with each beat, five quarts of blood each minute, 220 million quarts in 70 years.

MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM-
Your circulatory system, also known as your cardiovascular system, is made up of your heart and blood vessels. It works to transport oxygen and other nutrients to all the organs and tissues in your body.
Nervous System-
The nervous system is involved in receiving information about the environment around us (sensation) and generating responses to that information (motor responses). The nervous system can be divided into regions that are responsible for sensation (sensory functions) and for the response (motor functions).
FACTS-
The body has billions of nerve cells. ...
Neurons are made of three parts. ...
Neurons may look different from one another. ...
Neurons are programmed to do different things. ...

Digestive System-
What organs make up the digestive system? Your digestive system is uniquely constructed to do its job of turning your food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. And when it's done with that, it handily packages your solid waste, or stool, for disposal when you have a bowel movement.
FACTS-
The average person produces 2 pints of saliva every day. ...
The muscles in your esophagus act like a giant wave. ...
The second part of your small intestine is called the jejunum. ...
Enzymes in your digestive system are what separate food into the different nutrients that your body needs.

MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM-
The alimentary tract of the digestive system is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, rectum and anus. Associated with the alimentary tract are the following accessory organs: salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Excretory System-
Excretory systems regulate the chemical composition of body fluids by removing metabolic wastes and retaining the proper amounts of water, salts, and nutrients. Components of this system in vertebrates include the kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin.
FACTS-
The human bladder can stretch to hold about 400ml of urine.
All the blood in our body is filtered 400 times through the kidneys every day.
Urine stays in the bladder for up to 5 hours before discharge depending on the amount of liquid consumed if the urinary system is healthy.

MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM-
Organs of excretion make up the excretory system. They include the kidneys, large intestine, liver, skin, and lungs. The kidneys filter blood and form urine. They are part of the urinary system, which also includes the ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Reproductive System-
The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure survival of the species. Other systems in the body, such as the endocrine and urinary systems, work continuously to maintain homeostasis for survival of the individual.
FACTS-
The reproductive system contains the largest and smallest human cells
IMAGE-
MAJOR ORGANS THAT MAKE UP THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM-
