Te reo Maori

Today's summer learning journey task we did a te reo Maori task.

We had to match the right Maori sentence. For example: what are you doing today. In Maori it means: kei te aha koe i tenei ra?

Optical illusions

Today task for summer leanring journey I had to make a optical illusion.

A optical illusion is a shape or thing that has a hidden shape inside of it.

First I had to pick a shape to make. I could make it with paper and pen, on my device or using a optical illusion DLO to get started.

I chose the triangle because it looks like the google drive logo and looks like a L on the side.

Presentation

We presented our presentation for our emergency shelter. An emergency shelter is a place that keeps people safe from natural disasters. 

First, we made our presentation and our script. And then started memorizing our lines for when we present.

Next, a group chose us to present. We started our presentation off by greeting them and then started giving information about our 3D model.

Lastly, when all the groups finished presenting our teachers gave all the groups feedback and chose one group to work with. Our feedback was that our greeting was good but as we went on the presentation was getting lackey.

The only good things I did was talking about our 3D model, and explaining our information. But the only things I needed to do was focus more, be confident to speak, and to remember my lines.

Kowhaiwhai pattern

Today's task for the summer learning journey was to make a kowhaiwhai pattern.

We had to rotate the kowwhaiwhai pattern and make any pattern we want to. I made a four waves flowing in the sea on a hot sunny day. The background represents the sun because it is summer.

Insect art

For this task I did insect art.

I made a butterfly because it is the easiest insect to make. It has four wings two at the top and two at the bottom. And it has two antennas.

I came up with the name butterfly creek because it has the word butterfly and it is a place name. It is made out of four leafs, one stick and to flowers.

Fishing faulty teeth ( Kick start activity )

I did a task callled: Fishing faulty teeth.

The first thing I did was read an article about the story. Next I had to fill out a table explaining the four characters and who they are, what part of the story they play, and what was the outcome for them.

Next I watched another video explaining two men going fishing at the north sea and one of them loes there wife's teeth.

After I watched the video I had to create my on comic about the two men fishing. I had to write in the text bubbles and try and see what they are saying.

I had fun doing this activity because and I want do another one next time.
