LI: Mosha wants a new leg!
For this Summer Learning Journey Task, We were challenged to redesign Mosha’s Prosmetic leg. designed her leg as baby elephants and colored it blue with the band a darker blue, I choose this because its her miniture self. One thing I enjoyed about this task is that I got the chance to design Mosha prosmetic leg. One thing I would say relating from this task is that its okay to be different from others, that just makes you more unique than others!.
LI : To learn about giant Centipedes
For this Summer Learning Journey Avtivity, We challenged again by the Manaiakalani to answer the questions they had written for us but more extreme, This work asked us facts about a centipede how big and long it is. Something I enjoy about these task that the Manaiakalani set for us is I get to keep my learning going even when i’m not at school and I can still keep my education going prepared for what’s coming next year. One thing I enjoyed about this task is I got to learn facts about Centipedes for example how long and big it could be , These insects have powers which it can regrow anything that is damaged on it’s body which I find really cool. Something I enjoyed about these tasks that the Manaiakalani have set for us is that we can learn new things everyday and keep our learning going more prepared for school next year!
LI : Show your maths knowledge using centipede legs.
For this Summer Learning Journey Activity, We learnt about the insect Centipede. The Manaiakalani challanged us to make a copy of a DLO and answer the maths that were already written in text boxes ,The main idea of this task is to learn our maths and show our knowledge using centipedes as the main topic. One thing I enjoyed about this task is that Centipede they can regenerate a appendage which means if they had lost a leg or legs they could regrow another.
For the Summer Learning Journey Step it up activity, I was challenged to get creative and break out those scissors to do some more challenging crafting. For this step up activity, we would need paper, and some toilet rolls. I watched a video on “how to” to help us learn to cut the toilet rolls to create little spiders and paper to cut out spiderwebs. We also watched an article video called SpiderWebs Artists at Work. After we finished doing all of the activity, we had a go on playing the Summer Learning Journey SpiderWeb Quiz game. Something I learned in the video is that spiderwebs are tricky as their designs are difficult. An activity I found hard was trying to cut out the spiderwebs because there were lots of layers but turned out cool!
Have you ever touched a tricky spiderweb before?
For this Summer Learning Journey Activity, I watched a tutorial on how to draw a spider web. This activity really intrigued me because if you didn’t do the right steps I’ll turn out wonky, so I followed the steps in order to make my web. I firstly grabbed a paper and pencil to sketch it out. After I finished I took a photo and put it on my blog, explaining what I did. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about the art of web.
For this Summer Learning Journey Activity (Te reo Maori), We were challenged by the Manaiakalani to draw a Taniwha, first I went and researched about Taniwha’s to know what a Taniwha is and What it does. Then I found a image and traced it with the tools you have on google draw, In the backround i drew mountains and bushes and then I put the taniwha into water. I found this Summer Learning Journey Activity interesting because They hide in a secret hide out also known as rua Taniwha, which could be deep pools, caves, or dangerous waterways areas that people avoid going to.
LI : To create a 3D image that depicts a moment in time.
For this Task, we were challenged to create a diorama, but before we created our diorama we had to chose a topic and learn about it, Then we drew and cut out the bakery and the houses that surrounded the bakery, then we drew same fire with paper then used cyclephone paper to wrap it, and lastly we glued some pieces of cyclephone paper around the bakery and the houses. I found this task intresting because we got to learn about those who survived in the fire and those who became homeless due to the fire.
For this Summer Learning Journey, I designed a critter or creature with superpowers. I had to think about what special powers I want it to have based on real animal adaptations that I’ve learned about. Create its features, like it’s eyes, ears and teeth. And then put them together to make a creature that embodies superpowers. You can use your favourite app or free-hand draw a picture using paper, pen or pencil. I wanted to make my lion to fly but I thought of how common that was, so my friend gave me a suggestion of doing a force shield. So I did a force shield, it represents how if the lion is in danger it can easily activate the force shield preventing any dangerous preys trying to attack. I enjoyed this activity because it made me really think about what superpowers would fit my animal.
For this SLJ (Summer Learning Journey) we had to find a creature who had a super power, For example: A chameleon has a very special power. Which is camouflaging, they can camouflage in their surroundings. My creature that I picked is a fire ant because of what they can do and their ability to stay safe during enemies’ alert. Fire ants are small, copper-brown insects that have a painful, burning sting and build soil mounds. They are aggressive and known for their rude swarming behaviour when a nest is disturbed. And can cause severe allergic reactions in some people. Something I learnt is that they use their ability to fight against their enemies.
For Inquiry I have learnt about The Great Fire Of London and how it almost burnt down around 1am on a Sunday morning, September 2nd 1666, A bakery owned by Thomas Farriner (Kings baker) was burned by a spark of fire that glided out of the oven and landed on a ember (coal) which then touched the straw that was below it, and caused the bakery to burn, and soon after the fire spread fast, almost causing the Tower of London to burn down. Not long after the king thought of a great but not so great idea of putting out the fire. The king decided to blow up the houses that surrounded the fire so it would not have anywhere to spread , but people who lived in those houses became homeless for a short amount of time before the king decided to build a charity place for those who had nowhere to stay until they get back on their feet.I also learnt it took 4 days to put out the fire that was caused by the bakery, because in the year 1666 they did not have Fire fighters that would put out a fire in seconds, They only had leather buckets that were passed down in a long line and hooks to pull down the burning bakery/Houses. I found this Topic interesting because I got to learn how lucky we are to have fire fighters and many other things!.
