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?

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?
