The Summer Learning Journey Teaser Activity

 Hello Bloggers!

At the end of every year in the school holidays, our teachers set us up with a Summer learning Journey where every week in the school holidays you do a task and put it on your blog. We all know that the school holidays are coming soon so that's why I've done the Teaser Activity. 

The Teaser activity for the Summer Learning Journey was to go onto a site called Art Colouring Book. On the site, you can scroll down and choose a picture I chose a picture of lots of watermelons on a table. You click on the picture you want and it will make the picture bigger and all the colours will disappear. 

There is a row of different colours below the picture, you can click on what colour you want and then click on a section of the picture that you want to colour. I really liked putting the colour on the picture so I did it again but with a different picture. 

In step 2 of the Teaser activity, you had to pick a NASA picture to colour so here is my one. Are you doing the Summer Learning Journey This year? And have you ever been on Art Coloring Book? If you have, tell me in the comments.

✴️Danny the Champion of the World✴️

 Hello Bloggers

For the last couple of weeks, we have been working on a novel study where we got to choose out of 4 books. The books were Fing, Gangsta Granny, Wonder, or Danny the champion of the world. I chose Danny the champion of the world. Novel study Is where we choose a book and answer lots of questions about it. I really enjoy answering the questions about it. Do you do this at your school?

Spectacular Speeches

Hello Bloggers

For the last few weeks, for home learning, we have been working on our speeches. I was doing my speech on A day in the Life of Luna. (Luna is my cat) Apparently, we had  5 weeks to finish it but it didn't seem like that. After we had written our speech we had the option of sharing ours with the whole of our Homebase, Recording ourselves and showing the teacher or saying it in front of the teacher and a few friends. I chose to say it in front of the whole Homebase. Since I said it in front of the Homebase that meant I was also saying that if my speech was good enuff I would go into the finals. I really liked saying my speech out loud. Have you written a speech before?

Elegant Editing

 Hello Bloggers!

For this week at school at the start of every writing session we start off with a piece of writing that Miss Roberts puts up on the T.V. The piece of writing has no punctuation but it said what punctuation was needed at the bottom of the page. Then in our books we have to copy down the story and add all the punctuation needed. Do you do this at your school? I really enjoy this task I find that I learn lots.  

Here is the one we did yesterday 

Typical Translation

 Hello bloggers!

For math this week we have been working on transformation so Mrs. Atkinson our teacher gave us a slide to work on. In the slide, there is transformation rotation and reflection translation is when a shape is slid in a certain direction, rotation is a transformation in which an image is turned around a point, a reflection is an image flipped over a line. 

Organic Vs GMO

 Hello Bloggers

Last week and this week for literacy we have been focusing on persuasive writing. Our teacher gave us a task where we can choose if we think Organic is better or GMO (genetically modified organisms) is better I think Organic is better. Then we had to research and watch videos about the pros and the cons of each thing was. We had to write a small paragraph of which one we think is better and why. I found watching the videos and researching about it a bit boring. What do you prefer, Organic or GMO?

Here is the slide we were writing on.

 

Scary Shark Island

Hello bloggers 

For math this week we have been working on a thing on grid paper called Shark Island where we place our left hand in the middle of the page and draw around it. Then on and around the hand-shaped, you add things to it that the slide says to do. 

I really enjoyed doing the coloring of this activity. Have you ever done anything like this at school?

Here's mine I haven't finished it yet.

Potato Collector

 Hello Bloggers

Yesterday at the school zoom meeting we were told to create a potato collector, we had the choice to draw it on paper, Create it on pixel art or make it in real life. I chose to do it in real life. But the rule was that you were only allowed to use the stuff that would have been available to the Maori back then - rocks, plants, sticks, flax, shells, and leaves. I used a shell, 3 sticks, and flax. I really enjoyed creating it and tieing it all together with flax. Do you have any ideas for making a Potato collector? Here are some pictures.                                                                                                              This was my plan 

                                                                 And this was the real thing

 Hello bloggers 

Each day at the start of the day, we go through lots of slides and one of them was how to say what is the weather in Maori. Lots of people will have their hand up to ask "He aha te huarere?" Then someone will say someone's name and they will respond to it -  "He rangi mahana" which means the weather is warm. Then we have done animations about the weather.
