SLJ Poetry Slam

 This summer learning journey  I did a poetry slam. Poetry slam is a piece of poetry that has nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs

First I did nouns, the word I chose was chicken. I did verbs.Verbs are action words.The word I picked was jump. Adjective is a describing word. For example, brown is an adjective.  Then I have the adverb. For example the adverb of rapid is rapidly.

Second I used the thesaurus to help me complete the synonym. Synonyms are using different words to describe the same thing, for example the synonym of the word is hen is chicken. I did hop for jump, chocolate for the colour brown, and swift for rapidly. Then I added photos to each of the words and linked it to the website it came from.

In the end I added my photo to the middle where it says photo. Then I added photos of what I will do in the holidays. I added 7 photos on what I would do.

I want to add more photos of what I will do during the holidays. I need to step up my work next time.

Line Art / Maths

 I created a line art masterpiece. Line art is a art work by using lines to create it.

First I planned out what my art would look like. I started creating a huge star in the middle and did designs in the blank areas. The start of the star I created was nice. The colours I used for it were red, green and light blue.

Afterwards I drew different designs in the corners  to make it look interesting. I created an eye design in the corners while adding other stars.

Finally I created more stars but some inside of a diamond shape. The top part of the line is the axis (axes) the bottom line is the intersection. The intersection is the line in between the two squares. I rulered a line starting from the vertical rulering to the horizontal axis. The art I created was sweet.

The experience was amazing because I created cool designs on my line art. I took lots of skills to create my masterpiece.  My next step is to create cooler line art designs.

Broccoli Information

 

Broccoli is commonly used in India and China. Broccoli has different kinds of ways to be cooked.

Broccoli is a green vegetable. The bottom part of broccoli is called the stem. Broccoli foods in China are chicken and broccoli with brown sauce.

Broccoli and chicken with brown sauce.

Line Art / Maths

 This task I was required to do was line art, to see how good I was at it and I learned how to draw cool art.

First I drew a line from 1 square to 10 square. I did this horizontally and vertically, then I wrote numbers from 1 to 10 in the intersection.

Next I drew a line from starting the number one and ruling a line to the other one in the intersection. I did this until I got up to the final line for ruling a line to the other 10. 

Finally I finished creating my line art. It looked like half of an eye. But I turned out fantastic to be honest. 

The line I created was looking. I still needed to go to the other side which I did. This was a great art time project to do. I really want to try out harder line art drawings.

Instrutions on how to pot your plant.

Planting broccoli it will take time for it to turn out perfect and delicious to eat.

Reasons

I wrote down reasons, my topic and my argument to my persuasive writing.

First I thought of what topic I will use to persuade my audience of what I will be talking about. I wrote down all the things I will use to persuade my audience and I picked Why we should be able to fly planes for free. I wrote down all the ideas of why we could be able to fly planes for free.

Next I looked up on the internet to find more information about why we should be able to fly planes for free and I looked at websites for information. I collected some information I could get and wrote it all down on a document. I wrote down lot's of information and reasons.

Finally I got links to different topics about my topic. An example is the reason for people to have free flights is for them to meet family and friends that they have never seen in ages. 

The experience was amazing because I got information about my topic (planes) and got all the reasons I needed. I would like to completely find more information about my topic and more websites I could use for my upcoming presentation.

QAR template

I completed a QAR and Synthesis task.

First I read the book Too Much Technology. It talks about how technology is bad for kids. Then I took the information and added it into the Synthesis document.

Second I added them into the prior knowledge box, the new information book and the new understanding box. An example for prior knowledge is people are connected to their technology and both keeping track of their surroundings.
Another one for new information is That people have been on technology too much that it makes people not have real conversion.

Finally I added all the correct answers in the correct box. I added the understandings for each question and completed that. An example is Q6 ( Question 6) The author tells the audience how bad technology is so they could agree with him/her.

The experience was amazing because I got to read new books and collected the information to add in the boxes in the Synthesis and the QAR box. I need to collect more information to add in the QAR boxes. 

Persuasive

I completed a persuasive document.

First I created a document talking about different things to do in an argument. Persuade is trying to make people agree with you or believe you. Be kind to the person that your having a argument with. 

Second I created a text boxes with writing like Be kind to the person that your having a argument with. Doing that people won’t think of you as a person that has anger issues. Listening to what the other person is saying because you can make an argument to make a comeback These will help you make an argument come back.

In the end I added more details to my poster like others. It is all to do with perspective. If looking at numbers it can look like a 6 or a 9.  

The experience was amazing because I got to grab all the information I needed to make a great poster for others. I really need to make one that is better than this one .

Basic Facts

I completed a speed demon challenge on basic facts up to 20. This was an hard challenge and the time I got was 4 minutes and 26 seconds. I need to keep on practising subtraction up to 20.

Minecraft combat handbook

I read the whole book of Minecraft combat handbook. The illustrator of the book is Stephanie Milton.

They're different kinds of potions - slow falling, swiftness, strength, instant healthing, jump boost

How to fight - use slow falling when the enemy is in the water.

What kind of armor to use. Leather, iron, gold, diamond.

I enjoyed this book because it talks about information about mobs and buildings. Others could read this book if they haven't played minecraft before.

Olympics

I completed an activity based on the Olympics.

First I wrote down the motto, creed and whakatauki for PBS and the Olympics, the logo and flag and the values. The motto, creed, whakatauki, logo, flag and values for Olympics for PBS and Olympics. The motto for Olympics and PBS is Strive and Achieve and Higher, Stronger, Faster.

Next I  wrote down the differences and similarities. An example of the differences between flag and logo is that the PBS logo means the Panmure bridge and the Olympics Flag means the 5 continents. I completed the 5 slides with the differences and the similarities

Finally I created a shield with my motto and my logo on the shield. The design I made was a happy face. The motto was don't worry be happy (The motto came from a song)

The experience was amazing because I got to learn about the Olympics and make my own logo. The next step I need to do is to write down more differences for the Olympics.

Addition and Subtraction

Addition and Subtraction can be solved by using two stategies: counting on/back, rounding and compensating.

Counting on is adding forward using fingers, when the number added is under ten. Counting back is subtracting using fingers, when the number subtracted is under ten

Rounding and compensating is rounding the added or subtrated number to the nearest tidy number, then compensating for the rounding. Compensating is done by slitting the new number into the old number and the leftover.

Counting on/back and rounding and compensating is easy stategies to use addition and subtraction, when numbers get too big to be solved with basic facts.

Party Popper Prototype

My company, The Toy Designers, created our prototype of our party popper.

First we collected all our material to create our party popper. We chose a plastic cup to make the confetti flig into the air. Then we poked a hole inside to put the rubber band inside.

Second we added the medium rubber into the hole in the prototype party popper. It's hard for our company to put the rubber band in the cup. 

To finish up our prototype, by adding the weight and stopper onto our prototype. Our weight and stopper is a dice and a toothpick

I learned a lot about building our prototype, and the party popper was sucessful. Toy Designers need to add more updates to our party popper.

Remembering Task

 The task for Maori was Revision and a Memory game.

We played a game where you have to remember where the card is to match it with the same card and then say the word in Maori. I got four cards that are the same.

Then we had to look up on the Maori dictionary to help answer the questions. 

I would like to work on a technique for remembering game next time.

Fizzbee

 This activity that was really hard to do was the fizzbee catching.

The main point of this is activity was to catch the fizzbee and to throw it to my partner. The hard was to catch it and throw it because we had to throw the fizzbee like a rugby ball.

Then we start throwing the fizzbee and our partner had to run and catch the fizzbee. This told me lots of skills to master this techique. 

After that we did the same skill but we had to jump the fizzbee. I was really go at run and catch but now I needed to jump and catch the fizzbee this took me a while to get this techquie as well.

Then we started to do the same skill but we had to listen to where we had to turn. The derections we had to do was the phally, the hall, LS1 and our partner. This was a harder and the sweatest thing I had to do.

Then we play a game. There was two team, one non bebs, and bebs. This was fun to play but we saddly lost in the game but we tried our best. 

This fizzbee task was really hard to me because I really need to practise balancing.

Sentences

 The task for Maori I did was Maori sentences. 

I needed to write down Moari sentence by uses these words. Kea hea te... i te... and the Maori word. 

For example Kea hea te pene? kei runga i te turu the pen is on the table. I had to write down 10 of theses.

Then I made a google slide writing down the 10 Maori words on each slide.

I like this task and I want to practise and ask Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie next time.

Toy Designers

 The task I was given was to change a popper design Mr Wong showed us.

I had to write down the parts of the popper, what it does, the changes of it and reasons why the popper would sell.

I wrote down all the parts of the parts. For example plastic cup, rubber band and tooth pick.

Then I wrote down all what the parts from the popper Mr Wong showed me like the plastic cup is used to hold all the confetii in it.

After that I wrote the changes that I would do. The changes I did was changing the rubber band to a thick rubber band because using a thick band it won't break.

Then I wrote down why people would by the my party popper. The reason why people would buy my popper is our Market will sale our party poppers because people likes pokemon and skittles.

This gave me ideas in my head of the party popper that I will make.

Topic Planner

The task that I have been given was to write down information about the book I just read.

The book I was given was talking about the paralympic. I wrote down what I fact I knew about the paralympic. 

I tried to find 3 keywords and pick one word for example cerebral palsy means having brain damage.

Lastly I wrote down key questions and question I would answer. Key questions are what the author thinks in their mind. Question I would answer is the question that I would answer.

I collected lots of information in one book and I would to read the other texts.
