What are you doing today??

 

This is my work for today called "what are you doing today". Today's task is to fill in the gaps so the sentence says "what are you doing today". This is my copy of the slide show that was shown on the Summer Learning Journey blog.

Tānerore

 



Today for Summer Learning Journey I learnt about Tānerore. Tānerore is the son of Tama-nui -te-ra. This is my maori pattern that I created based on his story. I chose to repeat the pattern and included a tiki. I used a red background to represent the Maori flag. I tried drawing my own on paper but it was a lot trickier than I thought. Maybe I'll share that with you all another time.

Fishy False Teeth *really disgusting*

 Today for Summer Learning Journey I watched the video of the Fishy False Teeth. Then I had to read a text called ‘Practical Joker Admits To Faking Story of Dentures From The Deep’. I learnt to not play jokes on people and to treat others the way you want to be treated.


This is my work for today. Slide 1 - The story that we had to read. Slide 2 - My work about what I learnt Slide 3 - A video Slide 4 - My comic

This work today was a little bit challenging because there were some words that I didn’t understand in the text. I thought ‘upper plate’ was talking about plates on top but my mum told me it was referring to the upper plate of teeth. The video was fun to watch and I enjoyed the comic part as well.

What was your favourite part of the video?

Quality Blog Commenting

 Today for Summer Learning Journey one of the things we have to do is to post quality blog comments on other peoples blogs. I had a look on the twitter feed and I found Aaliyah G's post about a catapult that she made. Here is my comment on her blog


When I was writing my comment with her blog I used the quality blog comment sentence starters to help me. This is how I know that my comment is POSITIVE THOUGHTFUL and HELPFUL because I used a sentence starter from each of the colours (green, yellow, blue). This is a really good poster and I am going to try and use it when I am commenting on people's blogs. I asked my mum to check it before I posted it to make sure that it made sense to other people. 




Catapult

 Today I made a catapult inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci. I created my own catapult because I wanted to see the distance that the piece of paper will go.


To make the catapult you will need...

A salt bottle or a pepper can or just a sylinder thing that you can find in your house.

Plastic spoon.

Tape

scrunched up paper.


Grab your cylinder thing, as you can see in the image I have used a pepper shaker. Use your tape and stick it to your cylinder object. Put the scrunched up paper on the side of the spoon and hit the handle. This will launch your scrunched up piece of paper through the air.

Then you are done with your catapult.




Art Colouring Book

This is my first post for the Summer Learning Journey. It was fun choosing an image and then getting to change the colours on it as well.

Time for school prank

 I love this book because of the prank CJ So Cool does on his kids. The kids think that they are going to school but they were really meant to stay home.  My favorite part of the book is when the man tells his kids it was a prank. I rate this book 5/5.

Tread lightly Caravan

If you can't see what I chose for my tread lightly caravan thingy here it is (Use both sides of a piece of paper before recycling). I like the tread lightly caravan because I saw what could happen in the future, from now to 2040 to 3020 (it was very very very very distusting).

Te oro experience

The first thing that happened before the most exciting part which I will tell you in a moment is that Room 9 and Room 10 went to Room 8. When the classes came in, we had to listen for instructions from Mrs Faalili. The middle syndicate was also meant to get our bags but Mr Raj said never mind. The next thing the middle syndicate had to do was the most tiring thing was to walk from west tamaki road to 98 Line Road, Glen Innes, Auckland 1072. The walk was over but we still had to walk in to the art room (I think) because there was a workshop

Today I got a special certificate for earning my pen license(T0DAY)

Samoan language week

Last week on Thursday 28th May, my Dad, Zion's uncle and someone that I do not even know done a umu. Later on through the day, My Dad and Zion's uncle went to my umu at the back of my house to grabbed plenty of rocks for the umu. When I got to school, the firewood had all ready been put in the umu. Some students helped out with the umu. Right after morning tea, all the classrooms came over to the senior netball court to check out on all the details on the umu. The lunch bell rang and my Dad, Zion's uncle and the other person that I do not even know were still doing the umu. The lunch eating bell rang then me and Lv went to eat some food of the umu and it was delicious to eat. Later on, I came back to class to watch videos on YouTube.

Honey bees

Honey Bees
The honey bees were flying around the hive. It had black and yellow stripes, a pointy stinger and hymenoptera. I had never seen a beehive before. I felt excited and intimidated standing there waiting to get a glimpse of the bees. My friend Spencer looked satisfied and my other friend Rangi looked terrified. Seeing how people get honey for the first time made me realise getting honey was hard. Next time I eat honey, I’m going to think about where honey comes from and look at the ways other people get honey in different ways.

Pepper experiment

We had to use these items for the pepper experiment.
A bowl/plate.
A cup.
Pepper.
Dish washing liquid.
Table.

The experiment showed us how germs get cleaned fast or how germs spread quickly. The texture that we used was great for doing the experiment. The experiment might fail and the experiment might succeed. Scientists have been trying to do a experiment on coronavirus but they fail easily (sometimes). Things I do know about scientists is that when they try a experiment the experiment sometimes fails. 




(For people that might not know what coronavirus is), coronavirus is a disease that many old people can get.
How to get the disease, you get the disease if you, don't wash you're hands often.
Many people get the disease in America and the United Kingdom.

Mother's Day writing

I see my Mum exercising, running, singing and cooking.
I smell my Mums cooking kitchen.
I feel my Mums arms when she gives me cuddles.
I taste my Mums cooking when she cooks lunch or dinner.
I hear my Mum singing or sometimes I can hear her talking to Room 9 on google meets.
Inside I feel happy when my Mums by my side, tickles me or even when she tells me funny jokes.


I appreciate from my Mum that she helps me out whenever I am stuck. 

I remember my Mum and Dad taking me to get my ears pierced for my 8th birthday (after dance class).

I love my mum.

Sunshine classics - Old Bones

Today was the first time I ever went on sunshine classics. I was really exited. I read old bones and I had to read 23-24 pages. When I finished the booked I got frustrated because there was still a lot of work to be done, luckily my Mum was there to help me out. My Mum only helped me out with the first lot of questions but I did the rest of the questions. I took my a while to read old bones and do the questions.



Next I went to look at the people busting the back house and the neighbors house. Then I came in the room and did this blog.

Family Flag

The aim of my task was to make a family flag for my family members and my house hold. The exact task is below : Design your own flag for your house. Think of the different people that make up your bubble, the different personalities and what would be a good icon / picture that would represent you all.

This is my family flag, there are 10 people in my bubble, my household and that is why there are 10 tapa flowers around the flag. There is 1 Samoan flower and 4 Samoan patterns mainly used in some pictures that you might see often on Samoan pictures or Samoan tattoos. I used black and shades of brown because these are typical colours of tapa.

Magic card tricks are harder than you think

Thank you for looking at my blog today.

You might have an idea about what my post is going to be about by looking at my title. Yes, if you said magic tricks with cards, you are correct.

I have been working so hard on this blog post because my magic trick with cards can be interesting. So I can share with you a magic trick but you can't tell anyone that I told you this.

Promise?

Honest promise?

OK, here we go.

Step 1, pick 1 card from the whole deck. but if you choose the Ace, you have to take all four Aces. Step 2, Put 2 different Aces on the top of the deck and the bottom of the deck.
Step 3, Go to someone or a family member and to pick a number between 10 and 30.
Step 4, From the top of the deck, put down the amount of cards the person or family member said to put down.
Step 5, Once you finished putting the amount of cards down, the deck that you have in your hands, you are going to put 2 piles of 5 in front of you then put the deck of cards in front of you and put it on the deck you have in your hand then look at the card at the bottom of the deck and put it at the top of the deck of cards that you have in your hands.
Step 6, Put the right pile on top of the left pile of cards.
Step 7, With the deck you counted earlier, put it in 2 piles but this time you are going to put down the whole pack of cards that you have in your hand.
Step 8, The last 2 cards you put on the 2 piles are going to be the same 2 cards from the top or from the bottom.
Step 9. Ask the same person or family member to pick another number, any number a part from 100.
Step 10. Make 1 pile, once you get to the number that you are meant to get to, the last card you put down on the deck of cards that you just put down is going to be a ? then you get the black card and you put put the black card on the deck of cards that you just put down and then you put the deck of cards that you have in your hand on top of the black card.
Step 11. Ask the same person and once you get to the number you are meant to get to, put the red card on the deck of cards that you put down and then you put the deck of cards that you have in your hand on top of the red card.
Step 12. Here it is, the last and final step, search for the the card that you chose at step 1, once you find the 2 cards that you chose, look at the card you chose and pick the card you chose with the card in front of it, then put the 4 cards that you have, the 2 cards that are the same and the other 2 cards that you do not know what the card  is going to be, flip the 2 cards facing away from you and all 4 cards are going to be there.

If you enjoyed that trick comment if you did or if you did not like the trick comment.

Thank you all for the great opportunity or should I say thanks for taking a look at my blog.

Stay safe every one and remember Covid-19 is still around so keep washing your hands and stay 2 meters away from people.

Sonic the hedgehog

Last night I watched Sonic the Hedgehog with my Mum, my Sister, my younger brother, my closest brother and my Aunty. I ate popcorn, peanut slab and finally my favorite chocolate, maltesers. The run time of the movie was 1 hr 40 Mn. 

Sonic is a blue fast hedgehog that can run 765 miles per hour. In the movie Sonic leaves the planet he is on and jumps through the ring to Earth. In the movie, Sonic's rings fell on the building in the bottom right hand corner. The bag of rings fell on the tip of the sky scraper.
        
My favorite part of the movie was when there was a fight in the bar and all the slow motion parts in the movie.

Week 3 - Wednesday - Need for speed

For today's challenge, I decided to draw my fastest vehicle on paper. If you look closely you can see it on the paper I'm holding. I have some added features that I've taken pictures off too.
Feature 1 - Sonic Running. This button in my car lets me go super sonic fast. 


Feature 2 - Pac Man. This button puts on a sensor so that if I am racing a car and I fall behind - the sensor feature automatically makes me catch up to him 

Feature 3 - Super Sonic Flying. This button allows me to fly. It's way faster than a race car and the bullet train.


My mum had a go at creating her own car too. She called it THE BLITZER. If you look closely she has turbo boosters, a pointy front and her wheels can go in so that her wings go come out and that will let her fly.


Who do you think will win in a race?
