Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 1 Activity 1

DAY 1: TAKING THE LEAD

Activity 1: Playing Favourites [4 points]

Barack Obama was the President of the United States of America (USA) from 2009 - 2017. He made history as the first African American person to be elected President of the USA.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. His father was from Kenya, Africa and his mother was American. His parents divorced when he was young and his father died in a car crash when Barack was 21 years old. As a young man Barack studied law at university which is where he met his wife, Michelle.

Together, Barack and Michelle have spent much of their adult lives helping others and giving back to their community. When they are not at work, they can be found doing their favourite things, including spending time with their family, playing with their dog, or going to the gym.

What do you like to do for fun? Do you also enjoy spending time with family? Do you have a special pet?

For this activity, create a list of your ‘Top 5’ favourite things to do and take a photo of yourself doing each of these things.

On your blog post both your list and your photos of your favourite things.

1.

Play instruments.

I like to play the guitar or piano for fun because it’s one of my favourite things. When i'm frustrated I go and play an instrument so then I can forget what happened and calm down. 

2.

Have family time.

I like to have family time because we all get to do something together and have fun together.

3.

Meet my friends.

I like to meet my friends because we always do something fun together, and like to spend time together.

My friends help me to improve things too.

4.

Drawing/Art.

Drawing is my passion and helps me to have a better imagination. I also love drawing comics, anime because it’s so fun!

5.

Rugby.

I love Rugby because it’s my favourite sport, also because that's the sport I play. It’s really fun to and I love watching it.
