Which One Doesn’t Belong| Summer Learning Journey

This week I did a task called which one doesn’t belong, this activity shows shapes that you need to think of a reason on why it does not belong there. As long as you have a reason on why it doesn’t belong there it is okay. There is more than one that doesn’t belong with the shapes. For example of how this activity worked, there is a triangle and a square, the triangle has three sides and the square has four sides, so this saying what is the difference of each shape. At the end I made my own shape poster, for my challenge to you is to tell me what is the differences between the shapes.

This activity was interesting because this my first time on doing this type of activity.

Te Reo Maori Meme| Summer Learning Journey

Our challenge was to create a meme but in te reo Maori, For our meme the POV was, when I start losing in a game. In Maori it is Ka timata ahau ki te hinga i roto i te keemu. It was very hard to make up on what meme to use because there are so many meme for each photo.

This activity was interesting because I got to relate and make a funny meme.

Color Bookmark| Summer Learning Journey

For our challenge I made a colorful bookmark, our theme we used for our colorful bookmark was  summer and winter. For this task I was doing the colors, for the drawing of this theme was made by matheus. For this idea Riley my other partner fixed the mistakes aswell. I made the colors feel the vibe of this weather.

This activity was very enjoying because it  was very colorful, also adding the great theme we brought up.

Groove Pizza| Summer Learning Journey

Our challenge was to create a beat using groove pizza, for my beat I believe I made an old type of beat I would say. For my beat I used a special called Billie Jean, this made the instrument sounds different. The base of what I was making beats on was shaped like a pizza. It was alright my beat but I felt that I would to spice my beat up a little. After this change the beat to me sounded better than before.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to make a beat and how to do a beat.

Fun Day at the Beach

This week I made a day at the beach for kickstart of summer learning journey. We created a comic srtip using a template with a partner. First of all we planned on what our story would be about and plan when each part is going to happen. The main part of the story is our ending, our ending is about the volleyball hitting the sand castle, and they help make another sand castle but even bigger.

I found this activity very cool because I was able to be creative about what was going to happen in the story.

Oragami

LI: To follow the instructions to make your own origami diya (diva lamp).

The photo above shows my origami diya (diva lamp). Our first challenge was to watch the video that shows how to fold an origami diya (diva lamp). Before we could start we needed to use a ruler to measure a 20cm square piece of paper to make our own origami square. I found this challenging because because it was very heard to do some steps.

I found this activity fun also because I got to collaborate with my group.

Diwali Celebration

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find out what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world.

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that tells others what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world. Something I found interesting was the nice patterns that were used, also the colors were very  interesting since they only use bright colors for there designs.

I found this activity fun because I learnt facts about a new celebration.

The Inchcape Rock

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem.

The main characters of this poem are Sir Ralph 

(Captain of the boat), Abbot of Aberbrothock (The owner of Inchcape Rock). This poem is about a person named Abbot of Aberbrothock and placed a bell. Another person named Sir Ralph wanted to cut off the bell because Aberbrothock was being blessed to much. Then Sir Ralph cut off the bell and went off to steal more treasure to become rich. Then the weather became windy and rainy. Then his boat crashed into Inchcape Rock, the waves rushed side to side on his boat. The last thing he heard was the sound of the devil ringing his knell.

Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was the sound of the bell under the seas because it was very strange to hear.

I found this activity very interesting because of the new story I heard about  Sir Ralph.

What Happened Down the Stairs?

LI: To understand the 5 senses can be used to strengthen a description

Our challenge was to co construct a text using the olfactory, auditory, gustatorial, visual and kinethetic senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. This time we were able to speak and sat facing our partners. 

Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense and had met the language feature challenge.

I found this activity because we were able to communicate with our partner but the shoes story we weren’t able to talk to eachother.

The Shoes Story

L.I To use the 5 senses and personification to help us paint a picture with words. To understand that personification is to give an inanimate object human qualities.

Our challenge was to co construct a text using personification and the senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. We sat back to back and weren’t able to talk and would have to either join our ideas on our doc or either switch our sentences up and change it. Half way through Mrs Anderson challenged us to include a rhetorical question and a simile or metaphor to the stories what what I added was only a rhetorical question.

Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense.

After that part of the challenge was finished we used the punctuation points game to see what things I have. We marked anothers group punctuation after proof reading ours. We then had a chance to check our own work against the points table. That was fun because every point our partners missed menat we could take a point off theirs.

I found this activity interesting because we weren’t able to talk to our partner while writing our ideas.
