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. 

 

Week 3 - Thursday - Putting our heads together

Here is my FEELINGS POSTER. My mum helped me to use tagul. It's a word art website.

I put about 20 words on here. Can you find all of my words?

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?
