Today I have completed another Step it up challenge for the SLJ. This activity was about creating another origami boat different from the first one you made. I made a Square end boat and thought it was really hard to make. I got confused at some points but I got there. I also messed up the back part of the boat so it looked wierd. Overall it floated, and ended up falling in the end.
Today I have completed another SLJ activity. This activity was about creating your own paper boat and seeing if it could float in water. I learnt from a youtube clip that was provided on the SLJ blogging page. Making this boat was genuienly hard but it got easier when I understood it more. My boat was foating for a good while until it collapsed and drowing in water. I enjoyed creating this activity as I was able to use up some old paper.
Today I have completed another activity for the Sumemr Learning journey. This activity was about creating a cup and saucer using string. This activity was easy to learn. I had already knew how to make a cup and saucer so it wasn't a challenge for me. I also found it eady to find the string because I had gotten a pack from the SLJ during the last week of school. I apologise for the quality of the photo.
Today I have completed the step it up challenge for activity 23. This activity was about creating your own food collage and describing at least 3 of the foods using adjectives. Putting these food descriptions in call outs and then changing the background color of the call out. I enjoyed this activity as I was able to show my favourite foods.
Today I have completed another SLJ activity. This activity was about creating a collage of your favourite foods and describing at least 3 of the foods using adjectives.

Today I have completed another activity for the SLJ. This activity was about publishing a video or photos of games that your family like to play to celebrate. My family dont really play games but when they do they play dominos or monopoly. Most of the time we just talk about stuff or go on our phone. We still love to play games and bond with each other. I didn't have photos of us playing any of these games so pictures of the games we play were all I could do.
Today I have completed another Step it up challenge for the SLJ. This activity was about creating a screencastify on how to make an origami finger trap. I watched a video explaining how to create this finger trap then went and made the video on how to make it. I created a bigger finger trap then It was suppose to be but I mentioned that the audience would have a much smaller square piece of paper than mine.
Today I have completed another SLJ activity. This activity was about getting together with your family and singing a christmas song. I wasn't able to get my whole family together so I decided to just create a google presentation with pictures related to my culture and have a song from my culture to play in the background. I also didn't have photos from christmas as we were busy catching up with family and didn't have much time to take pictures. I hope that this presentation was enough to complete the activity.
Today I have completed an activity for the summer learning journey. This activity is about creating your own Dam and putting it into a google drawing and describing your DIY dam in as much detail as you can. I tried my best to add as much detail as I could explaining what my dam consisted of. I wasn't able to go outside to create the dam in the dirt because it was getting late so I just used a bowl. I hope that this was enough to completed the activity.
Today I have completed another step it up challenge. This task was about reading out your remixed christmas songs on a screen castify with a family member. I was not able to get an available family member so I did this by myself. I enjoyed creating this screen cast as it made me laugh at the lyrics I chose. I hope you like my songs that I created.
Today I have completed another Summer Learning Journey activity. This activity was about remixing some christmas songs and changing the lyrics to something of your own. In these lyrics they could include "places, events and objects that are unique to NZ." I tried my best to fit in these particular wishes that would rhyme and work with the song. I also added a picture next to each song so that it would look cool and go along with the song. I will be posting the recording soon after.
Today I completed another step it up challenge for the summer learning journey. This step it up challenge was about reading out your summer haiku on a screen cast. A haiku consist of 3 sentences. The first sentence consisting of 5 syllables, second sentence holding 7 syllables and the last sentence consisting of 5 syllables. My haiku's were on the topic of seasons. I created 3 different slides showcasing 3 of the seasons, and the seperate DLO posted earlier on my blog about the last season. I enjoyed creating this activity.
Today I have completed another Sumemr Learning Journey activity. This activity was about creating an infographic about one place in New Zealand. This infographic included a photo as the background of the DLO, and text boxes at the bottom stating some facts about the place I chose. In my case, I chose Rotorua as my place. I uploaded a pic of the skyline ride in rotorua as the background because it looked really cool and was a good image to use. I really enjoyed creating this activity as I had already had a fact because I have been to this tourist attraction before.
Today I have completed another activity for the Summer Learning Journey. This activity was about listening to audios of someone saying sentences in Maori. These sentences would be tranlating to what flavoured ice cream someone wanted. While listening to these audios you had to write down what you heard. Once you finsihed writing the sentences you had to delete a box that had the correct sentence under it. For me I was really proud with the outcome as all the sentences I had written were all closely correct. The last part of the task was to create you own sentence using google translate to say what flavours you would like, you were also allowed to make your own ice cream scoop drawing. I enjoyed creating this activity as I got most of the Maori sentences correct.
Today I have completed another Summer Learning Journey activity. This activity was about visiting a site where you could play a little game that asked you to choose the real person. We then had to screenshot a part and put it on a google drawings and using the arrows we had to point out how we knew why the other picture was not real and how the other was real. This was a very interesting activty for me as I was able to look into the pictures and pic out the details that were unreal.
Today I have completed another Summer Learning journye activity. This activity was about creating a poster and asking your family if they know how to say "Happy new year" in different languages. The languages that I chose were "Samoan, Scottish, and British". Obviously the first language would have been english. I enjoyed creating this DLO as I was able to learn about my background cultures.
Today I have completed another activity for the Summer learning journey. This activity was about appriciating somebodies comment and repyling to them. I have screenshots of the comment Sakshi has left on my blog and a text of what I was going to write back to her. Then a screenshot of my reply back to her. Both Sakshi and my comment were not the right size to fit into the boxes so it may be hard to read our comments. I enjoyed this activity as I also got to get points from the comment I left.
Today I completed this activity for the Summer Learning journey. This activity was listening to recordings of someone pronouncing Maori words and then me trying to create my own sentences using maori words. I also had to move words and place them into where I thought it had to go to create a sentence. I admit to struggling a bit on the last part of the activity as I wasn't able to find a third word but I was about to find onn in the end.
Today I have completed another task for the SLJ. This task was about learning about what pigpen cipher was and creating a pigpen cipher code. Pigpen cipher was a type of communication and was used back in the 18th century to send private messages to other bases. Pigpen cipher can be easily learnt by looking at how the layout is created. Each letter had its own little space, rather it was a square or a triangle, it will tell which letter is which. Letters from A - I are regular squares. Letters from H - R are squares but with dots in the middle. Letters from S - V are triangle shaped, and letters from W - Z are triangles with dots in the middle. I really enjoyed creating this activty as I was able to learn another way of communication.
