Learn a MAGIC TRICK by watching this video!

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour! How are you? Hope you're doing amazing during the summer or winter break. (depending on where you live). 

This is a Summer Learning Journey activity for the 16th of December even though I am doing it on the 17th. I was so excited to see this on the Summer Learning Journey blog because magic looks so interesting to learn. I did the step it up activity. We had to watch an instructions video on what to do with this slide that we got to put our video in. Then it said that we have to watch this video of someone teaching us magic card tricks. There were three in total and we got to pick one. I choose to do the one that she explains in the middle. I choose it because I didn't want to get salt or crumbs everywhere and the other trick looked like it was going to take too long to record a video to teach. I used Screencastify to record my video and the limit amount on filming time is five/5 minutes. I enjoyed this activity so much because I showed my family and they were confused. This was difficult because I couldn't remember what side was supposed to be flipped on. The right or left side.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Summer Learning Journey - Day 1 activity - Ring Glider

This is the first video to watch. 

This is the second video to watch.

Kia Ora, Bonjour Hello! How are you? Hope you are doing amazing.

This is the first Summer Learning Journey activity. This activity was actually for yesterday but I didn't finish it. I tried making a ring glider yesterday with goose paper (spare paper) so I can know how to do it without wasting expensive paper. The two colours I choose to do were yellow and orange because it reminded me of summer! I choose to do a ring glider because I have never made one before and it looked interesting to make. Today I decided to make a video, teaching other people how to make a ring glider. I found out that if you point the little ring first and the big ring behind then it goes faster than the other way. I enjoyed this activity a lot because I go to make something that can fly out of Paper and we also got to make a video teaching others. This was difficult because I was using Screencastify instead of We video. Screencastify had a limit of 5 minutes recording so that is why I have two videos. 

I hope this video and blog post can teach you how to make something you didn't know existed. (I know I sure did!)

I hope you enjoyed :)

Day 1/activity 1 (What we would take on a three day trip) Day2/activity 2 (About ourselfs and our culture)

Kia Ora, Bonjour and Hello. How are you hope you are amazing. 

This blog post is a summer learning Journey activity. We did this yesterday but I didn't realize that we had to post it on our blog. We had to think about the food that we would take with us on a three-week trip in a canoe. Takutai came to our class because Takutai was learning how to blog post. We registered a buddy that we choose and I choose Alyssa. I enjoyed this because it was fun to think about the food we can bring. This was difficult because we had to think about what could actually last in three weeks. 

Hope you enjoyed :) 

Today we have done another Summer Learning Journey activity. Takutai came to our class again today. Before we did the activity we had to choose our buddies and Miss Farr (our teacher) explained the activity we were doing today. The buddy I choose was Asha. We decided to right our cultures on google slides, she had her own slide and I had my own as well. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to learn that my last name actually comes from Scotland. This was difficult because I couldn't find that many pictures of my family.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Key word hunt - Fly me up

 

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour everyone. How has your day been? Hope it has been good.

This is another Diwali (said like Divali) activity. We had to read an article about this girl called Tiffany and about the art that brings people together. It is called fly me up. This activity is to help us with summarising and make us be better at understanding the text. We had to write what was said in the article in order with our own words. Then we had to think of keywords and phrases. Then we had to use those keywords and phrases to make a brief summary. I enjoyed this activity because it feels like it has helped me to understand the article a bit more. This was difficult because it took a little while. I decided to put a picture her because this work is basically about her and her heroic act.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Rangoli Patterns

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour! How has your day been? Hope it has been good.

In class, we are going to be doing the Christmas concert/dance about Diwali (Said like Divali). Miss Farr (our teacher) decided that we could learn about Diwali. I have enjoyed this so far because I am learning lots and lots of stuff about Diwali. I have seen a rangoli on TV before but I never knew what it was called and the meaning of it. We had to draw and create a rangoli pattern in our maths books, then on google drawing after that, on a drawing site. I enjoyed making this because it was so much fun thinking of and drawing rangolis. The drawing site/game was probably the most fun because there is a drawing tool that can make it easy for it to be the same shape everywhere, it is called the mirror brush. This is was difficult because it was hard to get it symmetrical in my maths book but with the squares, it was a little bit easier.

Diwali vs Matariki

Kia Ora, Hello, Bonjour. How has your day been? Hope it has been amazing!

Recently in class, we have been researching about Diwali (said like Divali). This is another activity, compare and contrast. One side is where we put all of the information about Diwali, on the other side is where all the information about Matariki is and in the middle is where we put the information that is the same on both celebrations. I got the information from the links at the bottom of this blog post. This was enjoyable because it was very easy for me to learn more stuff about Diwali and Matariki. This was difficult because it was kind of hard to find more facts about Matariki, there was a lot about Diwali.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Diwali brainstorm

 

Kia Ora, hello, bonjour.

Lately in class, we have been researching about Diwali (it is said like Divali) because we are going to do the Christmas concert about Diwali. This is a brainstorm about what we know about Diwali so far. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to put all my ideas about Diwali on my Chromebook. I am excited to look back at this after learning more about Diwali and find out all of the stuff I have learned. This was difficult because I put too much of the text boxes so I had to get rid of some. I did this activity a few days ago but I keep on forgetting to post it on my blog.
I hope you enjoyed :)
