For todays Summer Learning Journey activity, we were tasked to pick a octopus and to colour it in online or print it out and use markers and colouring pencils. I coloured this in online and used thecolour.com. I chose a dumbo octopus because I think that they are a cool type of octopus and its one of my favourites type of octopus. Three facts I learned is that Dumbo octopus live up to only 3-5 years, they live on the deep sea floor and every octopus has three hearts and 9 brains!
I really enjoyed this activity because I like octopi the most out of my favourite marine animals.
Mosha’s Special Leg|SLJ
For todays Summer Learning Journey activity, we created a design for Mosha the elephants leg. I tried to replicate the other legs and put purple straps on it because I thought it would suit Mosha and also so they knew it was a special leg.
I really liked this activity because I could use my creativity which was cool.
Legs Tally Step it up|SLJ
For todays step it up activity, we were asked to make a copy of another Google drawing and answer the questions on it.One fact I learned about centipedes is that they can live anywhere, from the bottom of trees and to the inside of someones house.
I liked this activity because it tested my knowledge on centipedes which means it was a challenge.
Legs Tally Kick start|SLJ
Today for the Summer Learning Journey we were doing 8 Maths equations on a google drawing and the equations were related to Centipedes. I answered all of the questions and these are my answers.
I liked this activity because Maths is one of my favourite subjects and this was a nice and easy activity to do.
Spider-web Craft|SLJ
Yesterdays activity got a Step it up. First I watched a video about Spiders and their webs, then I did a quiz about it which had 5 questions. Then I watched a tutorial that taught me how to make a Spider-web and I created this using a penic and a piece of A4 paper and some scissors.
I enjoyed this Summer Learning journey activity because it was a fun craft to create.
Spider-web Art|SLJ
Today, the Summer Learning Journey activity was about spiders and their webs. First we watched a tutorial on how to draw spider webs using a pen and paper. We learned how to draw two types of webs, which was a big and full one and a spider web in a corner. I created this using a pencil and paper and used my creativity to make this drawing. I had one big full spider web in the middle and four spider webs in each corner and I drew a spider hanging down from the big web.
I really liked this Summer Learning Journey activity because I enjoy drawing in my free time.
A Moment in Time
Today LS2 was asked to create a DLO about a Moment in time and then make a voice over on it on a Google vid. The topic I chose was Henry VII’s reign and I created this. The reason why I chose Henry VII is because it was a topic I am currenly interested in and have been wanting to learn about in the past couple weeks.
Something I found interesting was learning more about history with this task.
Procedural text|Paper dinosaurs
For inquiry we created Paper dinosaurs as a task from our dinosaur dig. We got into our pairs and were given a piece of red paper to create our prototype. When we finished our prototype we were given a black piece of paper and created our real model. As we did we made a procedural that showed how to make the dinosaur.
Something I liked about this task was how we could experiment with the prototype to make the actual model better.
Mood Board|Hone Tuwhare poem
Today for reading, we were given the task to create a moodboard and a Google vid the has a recording of us saying the poem “Rain” and the mood board was for a poem called “Child coming home in the rain from the store.” both of them made by a pretty famous poet called “Hone Tuwhare”
Some people in my group and I created this mood board that consists of many shades of grey, because we thought that the poem had a more greyish vibe like rain, the poem is about a child getting food for there family at home but as they were about to leave the store it started raining so they had to walk home in the rain, and that mother is waiting for them at home. Something I found fun with this task was deciding on what the colour scheme.
Me and 2 others created our Google vid together, we said a line each and we used Adobe express to create a photo that we thought described the poem. Something I found interesting about this task was finding the right prompts to create the right photo.
Malala Yousafzai
For reading LS2 has been learning about Malala Yousafzai who is a Pakistani education activist and when she only 16 when she gave her powerful speech to the UN(United Nations). She fought for education and equality rights for everyone but mostly girls, when she went on the bus to school she got shot by the Taliban in the left side of her face thinking it would silence her. But she only came back stronger and because that happened, that’s when she realized that girls and many other people have the problem of not being able to go to school, so she fought. She fought for everyone to have the luxury of going to school and learn many things. Her story is very important and she should be more well known. So my reading group and I created a poster that shows people one of her famous quotes, the quote we chose was “One child, one Teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” because we all thought it was a very powerful quote in our opinions.
