Challenge 1 - Build Something That Flies!!

 

L.I to construct something that flies.

Today I have accomplished the first activity of the summer learning journey/nano girl, that required me to build something that can fly. There was so many options for me to choose, such as a kite, but i chose to make a paper plane as it was the easiest and required not much work. I watched a instructional video to create this paper plane. The process was very easy and fun. 

Summer Learning Journey | Art Colouring Book

 L.I to use Googles Art Coloring Book to explore and use creative thinking. 

In this activity we were required, to use the google art colouring book( nasa edition) and colour one photo. We did this activity in last years SLJ, so it was really easy and quick for me to adapt. The two images I chose to color can be see above. 

I really enjoyed doing this activity, as it helped me enhance my creativity, and explore different colors and styles. 

My Own Optical Illusion | Summer Learning Journey | Week 1 Activity 7

 L.I to use inspiration from other optical illusion's to create your own.  

In this DLO, I have used inspiration from different optical illusion portraits, to create my own. As you have seen in my previous blog post I made, I had re-created a famous illusion by M.C Escher, in this activity we were asked to create our very own illusion. I have made a continuous dimond, that seems to never end. This took a very long proccess since it took a lot of copy and pasting. In the process of making this, My eyes started to see different things and I became to get more dizzer. What this optical illusion reminds me of is a portal to an outer space world. Here are the results.

SLJ is a organization that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them. SLJ has been running for over 5 years, and this is the 6th year currently. 

In this DLO, we were asked to create a Taeroa Pattern, out of a koro. We were only allowed to repeat and resize, recolor and rotate these koro's to make the Taeroa Pattern. In my Taeroa Pattern, I repeated the process, and went for modern and tidy pattern. I really found it hard to come up with a idea that wasn't the same with other bloggers work. I found it interesting, how many different ways we could put a koro and use it to design our own. Here are the results.

On the next slide we had to to match the words to create the sentence. Another part of this activity was to draw a picture of an activity that, me and my family members would do. I drew a image of me and family members at the beach. I drew this, because my family mostly likes going ot the beach, as it brings them joy and makes them remember how they lived in the islands. Here are the results.

This is story about two men who go fishing. the First man gets Ocean sick, so he sneezes. He sneezes until his teeth fell out and when it did, The second man started laughing. The second man then pulls out a fish that has teeth in it, and he remembers that person who lost their teeth. He then gives them back to Person 1, but it wasn't his. The Taxi Driver and his Wife had pulled a prank on them, which caused the second man to cause legal action. 

In this comic, we saw a video with the same article, so we put it into a comic. Here are the results

SLJ is a organization that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them.

In this activity we were asked to watch a video that was created by Raku Inoue. Raku Inoue, is a Canadian artist who uses, twigs, flowers, leaves, seeds etc. to create complex portraits, of insects. 

LS2(& Room 5) had watched a video that explained how Raku Inoue, had created these small portraits. It was then our turn to try out these intricate portraits. LS2 had walked around through the school collecting whatever they needed. Most students got twigs, potentilla, wheat, lavenders & etc. After collecting our resources, we created our masterpiece. 

I chose to create a butterfly. in my flower, I filled up the wings with flowers as you can see. I used twigs to do the outlining of this butterfly. 

What is a Insect? A insect is a small arthropod animal that has six legs and generally one or two pairs of wings.

Three Facts about a Butterfly:

1.  There are almost 20,000 butterfly species.

2. Butterflies only live for a few weeks

3. Butterfly wings are transparent

I found this activity very fun because we got to explore our creativity and got to explore the outside nature. I found it interesting that this was very challenging and how their are 20,000 different species of butterflies.

Here are the Results. 

Comment Activity 2| Summer Learning Journey

L.I To write a quality blog comment on someone else’s blog that starts a rich learning conversation.

Leaving a quality blog comment on another  student’s blog helps us make connections to new learning by asking open ended questions that encourage a reply and motivate the blogger to ask their own question in return. This is how a comment thread starts and when that happens we make connections with a wider audience who we can learn with and from.

Today one of the activities that were apart of the Summer Learning Journey was to comment on anybody's blog of our own choice. I chose to comment on Jessie. Jessie is a Yr-4 student from Glen Innes School. I particularly chose Jessie, because I was really impressed with her blog and video. This blog post was about the First Summer Leaning Journey Activity.

As days passed to weeks, weeks pasted to months, months past to years; I started crying at night and got really depressed. School was the only place for me where I could forget. My depression followed me until I noticed something. I wasn't battling the fact my brother was gone. I was battling depression. I went through a lot of things to overcome it and I stopped it by spending more time with family and thinking about the positive. As I started to overcome this issue, I started to participate more in school things, and I would always remember what my mother had said: "If you can't love yourself, how would you ever love somebody else,".
