Summer Haiku (SLJ 2020-2021) Set Up (Day four)

Hey Readers! 

 I had already finished kick start and now its time for set up ... I firstly started with learn, I watched a video called 7 Summer haiku in the video it just had 7 summer haiku poems the poems were really intresting. After that I read a story called what makes a good haiku  it talked about different types of poems and heaps more. Next I explored Katikati haiku pathway it was very intresting and talked a little bit about history. Create, anyways after I made a screencastify and used a slide template. The most easiest part was thinking of things for the poems to be about because they were about Summer! The hardest part was making sure the screencastify I made had alright audio and no mumbiling. Have you ever made a Haiku poem before or any other poem? Comment down bellow if you have. 

Summer Haiku (SLJ 2020-2021) Kick Start ( Day Four)

Kia Ora Readers!

Today I saw that their was a Haiku poem I was very excited about it because they are really fun to make.  I had to complete three steps learn, create and share, and also two activites... kick start and set up. You have to also do the three steps for both activites, which makes your posts more intresting. The first thing I did for kick start was learn I watched a video of a guy explaning how to make a haiku poem and how many syllables need to be in each sentence. After that the next thing I did for learn was read how to write a haiku poem it talked about where haiku poems came from. Then I got to explore some haiku poems on google and I also made sure the sentences had the right syllables. After that I started create I made a copy of a google drawing and put it in my SLJ folder. Making the haiku poem was very fun, I made mine about rainforests. I also used a syllable counter to help me make sure I had the right amount of syllables for my poem. After I finished making my poem I added a picture and some details to my background. 

Kick start:

Which One Doesn't Belong? (SLJ 2020-2021) Day Three

 Hey Readers! 

Today I have done another SLJ activity I picked the...  which one doesn't belong? activity I had no idea what it was about but when I found out it was a maths activity I wanted to challenge myself. I had three steps to complete the activity, learn, create and share. Firstly for learn I listened to video called one of these things here is the link: One of these things, it's by sesame street do you remeber it?  Next I watched maths at the donut shop, it talked about  4 different numbers or objects and why the number or object didn't fit in  but you had to think of multiple answers to finish one group of four numbers/objects . Here is the link to the video so you can understand it a bit  more: Maths at the donut shop.  After that I made a copy of some examples of what was in the video and I put it in my SLJ folder... here's the link if you would like to try it out : which one doesn't belong. 

  For create I started  my slides I thought of two or three different answers of why all the object don't  belong with the other objects.  The slides where  bit tricky at first because I wasn't looking hard enough, I managed to finish them all it was very fun completing them. Once I finished creating all of the slides I got to make my very own one, I choose to pick chocolate cupcakes because they're very delicous. Lastly for share I needed to watch a video about blogging then blog my learning. Here is the video: creating your blog post. For todays activity what I found challenging was 

Tānerore ( SLJ 2020-2021) Day Two

Hey Readers! 

It's  day two for me for  the Summer Learning Journey, today  I choose to do Tānerore, it did take me a while to choose but I got there in the end. As I said yesterday I have three steps to complete the activity, they are learn, create and share!  For the first step learn I read a story called who is Tānerore, in the story it talked about haka and Tānerore's mother and how he does the haka. Once I finished reading the story I watched video of a haka and I had to try find the wiriwiri which is a trembling hand. I did find the trembling hand, do you want to find it? Here is the link for you to watch the video: Tanerore. After that I learn't how to draw kowhaiwhai by watching a video, the details made the drawings stand out really well which was good. The video had different types of kowhaiwhai, my Favorite one was the hammer head shark because it really looked like one and the koru's were beautiful on the drawing. Here is the video if you really want to watch it: Kowhaiwhai.

Create was the second step, I needed to create my very own kowhaiwhai I could draw it on paper or use a template. I choose to draw on paper because doing it on my chrome seemed very complicated but maybe next time I could challenge myself into trying something new. I got my pencil and drawing book and I begun the drawing I looked back at the video to get a some inspiration for my drawing. The first one I did I didn't really like it but then I started persisting and tried again I finished but I still didn't like it so I made a new one. Once I finished my second one I fixed it up and then rubbed some out and fixed it up agian. As I finally finish my kowhaiwhai up I feel relieved and took a photo. What is my meaning of my kowhaiwhai? My meaning of my kowhaiwhai is love and family it shows how family means alot to everyone ad you need lots of love in life to survive. Lastly share all I need to do is blog so here is my blog post.

Have you ever learn't about a kowhaiwhai?

Living Springs camp

Salam ( Hello) Readers!

 last week for  three days  I went to living springs camp with my class Punui-o-toka. When I arrived to school I had to put my luggage in the hall. After the bell rang we got into the bus and started looking for things we had in our camp booklets. Once we arrived at the farm we had lunch. We got to feed animals and milk a cow, next  we ate lunch. Once we made it to Living springs camp from a big walk we got to settle into our bunk rooms. After that we  started activites,the first activity my group started with was zypline and some other activites. My favorite part of the activites was zyplining it was scary at first but then it was fun. After, after noon tea my group went swimming I jumped in alot I it was very enjoyable. The most scarest one was the monorail I couldn't even scream that's how scary it truly is. At night we wen't to camp fire we got to roast marshmellows they were really sticky and delicous. After that we came back had showers and played spotlight, I got to be in my group of taggers got mostly everyone.  Now it is finally  the next day for the second day we had swimming, ecosystems, rifles and archery, intiatives and ecosystems. My group started with orrientering, it was very boring my group basically gave up.  After morning tea (which was really good)   my group did was riffles and archery, the girls did riffles first it was very nerve racking but fun at the same time. Archery was just easy and really fun I hit th e middle on my second try which was really good, but I have done archery before so I have learn't how to do it.   Next we did intiatives it was team building things we had to do things as a team. Going over the barrell was very fun and challenging at the same time. Now after, after noon tea  I got to do animal ecosystems it was very fun my favorite part was learning the cycle of what animals do in the wild. We all had dinner and desert and it was finally time to do some night actvities. My group got to do burma trail which is when you need to trust yourself and follow a rope blindfolded, I knocked into lots of trees and bushes. The most challenging part was figuring out where the rope was when I lost it. We have supper and now have a auction my group didn't want anything and didn't get anything it was very tiring waiting for it to end. Day three! I woke up in the morning and had to shower I got into some fresh clean clothes, we have breakfast and brush our teeth. Now we pack our bags clean up and vacuum our bunk houses. After that we put our bags at the entrance and go eat morning tea. After morning tea we play animal survival some of the teachers even joined in so it was really fun.  We then eat lunch and get ready to head back to school. We also went on this big water slide at one point but I don't remeber when, it was really fun. I rolled of the hills most of the times I went on. 

Fishy false teeth comic ( SLJ 2020-2021) Day One

 Kia Ora Readers!

Today I have started the Summer learning Journey, I got to choose from two activites .. Fishy false teeth: kick start or insect art. I choose to do fishy false teeth because it sounded intresting, the other one didn't really.  This year for every SLJ activty you need to  omplete three steps, learn, create, share, they all have a special meaning which gives lots of details for blog posts.  Firstly I made a copy of the slide which had all of my tasks in it I the put it in my SLJ 2020-2021 folder I made. Next I started learn, for learn  I read a story called fishy false teeth it was very intresting and had lots of characters and detail. Once I had finished the story I needed to complete slide six, it was to help me understand the story I didn't complete it because it was a bit confusing but I did most of it. 

 For create I watched a video called teeth I had already watched the video teeth before it was for writing so I just needed to get a flashback of what happened. Then I  made a  comic, I could use the template in slide or use another template. I choose to use the template in the slides because I didn't understand the other one.  Making the comic I tried to think about the facial expresions to be able to write what they would say. The create part was my favorite because I got to make a comic and I love making them. Lastly for share I just need to blog about the process of doing todays activity I choose. My most challenging part of todays task was reading and understanding the texts because it was sort of confusing. 

Have you ever made a comic?

As I entered the school I got really nervous but once I saw some of my friends I felt more confident. Next Mrs Jones took a photo of me infront of a small sized christmas tree! Once most people had came to the door we could enter the staff room. I enter the room and I see lots of balloons, some tables with fizzy and christmas crackers. Table by table we went up to get some dinner when my table went up I got some potato salad, a bread roll with margarine, and  some chicken. When I went for seconds I got chicken and a bread roll. After we had dinner, since it was Miss McLeods birthday she got to blow out her candels on her bday cake. After we could stand and have a speech I didn't wan't to say anything but everyone who did said really nice things. Next we had desert for desert we had vanilla ice cream, fruit salad, and pavalova. The second to last thing we did was go outside take some photos, boys and girls took a group photo together, and we could take other photos with the different photo booth things.

It was really fun last night I had a really good time but I'm sad to leave South Hornby this year I will miss all of my friends and teachers :(  I hope to see some comments for my Summer learning Journey activites, blog ya later.

D.L.O( digital learning object) about Emperor penguins

 Hey Readers! 

This week in J.K rowling we have been learning about Emperor penguins first we read a story called fantastic penguins. The story talked about what temputures penguins like, parts of a penguin, a penguins life cycle, etc. After we read the story the teacher gave us a comprehenson sheet with a story included. Then we started a D.L.O about emperor penguins we also got to choose what we wanted it to be on. Today I just added another slide and read the slides to make sure it all made sence. Doing the comprehenson sheet was easy and fun because I made sure I read it properly. The D.L.O was kind of tricky because I didn't really know what to put in it. Have you ever made a D.L.O?
