Summer Learning Journey: Week 3 Day 4

For this activity, please follow this link to view the list of Nobel Prize winners, choose one, read about them and then share your learning on your blog.

On your blog, tell your readers who you chose and then tell us about them in five to ten sentences. Who were they? What did they do that was so special? Feel free to include a picture of your chosen Nobel Prize winner on your blog.


Marie Curie was a Polish woman who went to university in France, she studied physics, chemistry and maths. She spent all of her career experimenting and discovering chemical elements, she was the first person to use an x-ray machine on a human body. She won two Nobel Prizes for her achievements. Sadly she died from radiation poisoning due to the fact that she carried radioactive materials around in her pockets.

For this activity please think about your own health and well-being (hauora). What do you, or those in your family, do to stay healthy?

On your blog, share five things that you do to stay healthy and strong.


Five things I do to keep healthy are:
- Go for runs.
- Help my family with heavy lifting.
- Try not to eat too much fatty food.
- Exercise.
- Drink lots of water.

For this activity, we would like you to imagine that John Kirwan, Mike King and/or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge called you up and asked you to design a new poster for their organisation. You could use Google Draw to help design your poster.

On your blog, post a final copy of your poster and include a description of the poster. What is on the poster? Why did you include the pictures or words that you did? The more that you can tell us about your design, the better!

  1. Hey Alex,

    Great research on Marie Curie, she worked really hard through out her life and contributed a heaps to modern science and sadly paid for it.

    You've got a great list of things to keep yourself healthy. Going for runs is an excellent habit to get into and is also really great for your mental health and watching the things you eat and staying hydrated are also great steps. Did you know the whole 6-8 litres of water a day idea is a myth? Not only is there lots of water in fruits and vegetables if you're eating a good amount of those everyday but essentially you should just drink when you feel thirsty otherwise you'll just be making more trips to the bathroom each day. Mainly it's really important to remember to drink extra water if you're going to be running around and exercising or going to overheat during a hot day.

    These are great mental health facts The brains are actually kind of cute and funny which switches the tone a bit but great work, I hadn't heard most of these facts and have learned from you poster. Where did you get your information?

    See you in the comments.

    Daniel :)
