SLJ - Day 4 Activity 1

 Hi Bloggers,

Today I finished my SLJ task which is 'What are you doing today?'. It was so fun and I have finished it. I had to make a copy of the slide and write sentences in maori. I enjoyed doing this activity. I found it hard to know what maori words say what but I eventually got it. My next steps are to not use the translater because I used it to help myself a little bit. I would like to learn a little more maori words and start to say sentences in maori. I might not keep zooming in and using the translater next time. I zoomed in so I can see what the picture was showing. Here are my slides. 

I am still doing the step it up task so as soon as I finish that, I will add it to this post. (Including my drawing of me and my mom doing it together)

SLJ Day 3 Activity 2

 Hey Bloggers,

Today I made an optical illusion. They are an art that consists geometric shapes and patterns, usually they are black and white. Which is cool. I drew one which was for 'kick start'. I have also made one on my chrome book for the 'step it up'. Here is a picture of my hand-drawn optical illusion:

You will need: Paper, Pencil, Ruler, Cardboard and a Sharpie. Keep a cardboard under you piece of paper so the sharpie ink won't go through the paper. I made this by making lines. I made small lines and then big spaced lines. Which is kind of like a pattern. But before that I made a rectangle in the paper. Then made a line with small space, then another line with big space. I did that till the end. Then made lines that made it look like there are stairs going down. using the sharpie. Using my pencil I made the short spaced rectangle more dark. I did that and made one light shade from the second stairs and made it go all the way down. I watched a video and here is the name if the video: Easy 3D Drawing Illusions to Test Your Brain! I only watched the one to make stairs. I made my stairs a little bit more than the one in the video.

This will be my 'step it up' task. Here is my optical illusion DLO Template. I had to put the photo of my optical illusion on the google drawing, then write an explanation of how it works. Here it is: 

I finally got to know how to add my video. Here they are:

This is part one. Here is part two:

Thanks everyone for look at my blog. I will be making more optical illusions so watch out for that too.

SLJ - Day 3 Activity 1

 HI Bloggers, 

Today I finished my task for summer learning journey. The task was to make a kowhaiwhai on a google drawing. Here is a PNG of my Kowhaiwhai. I also have to draw one but haven't finished that. Here is a picture of my Kowhaiwhai:

SLJ - Step it up: 

Who Is Tanerore? Tanerore is the son of Tama - Nui - Te - Ra and is the personification of shimmering air when he performs a haka for Hine - Raumati. 

Can you spot the wiriwiri? 

I couldn't find the wiriwiri. Even though I looked at the video a couple times. I did the actions but then I got tired. I didn't give up so I kept going. 

Here is a picture of my hand drawn Kowhaiwhai:

Bye

SLJ - Day 2 Activity 2.

 Hey Bloggers,

Today I finished my task. My task for today was insect art. I have to make an insect out of petals, leaves and things I find out in my yard. I watched a video from Raku Inoue who makes loads of different types of insects out of what he finds in his yard. So I basically searched it on the internet and got different colours of leaves to make my insect. My insect is the butterfly and its my favourite insect. Here is a picture: 

It was hard to make but I eventually got the hang of it and made it. Have a great day everyone.

How to make Soy Candles!

 HI Bloggers world,

Guess what we made today. If you guessed Soy Candles you are absolutely correct. If you said something else then you are wrong. But for real we made Soy Candles. If you want to buy Soy Candles than you should rather make them instead of buying them because they cost at least $52 dollars. Okay now I will tell you how to make them. Its really fun to make Soy Candles. when it was my turn to turn the soy wax, then I thought I would get burnt but I didn't. (Which is good) :)

Ingredients:

1. Good Fragrance mix

2.   Soy wax

3. Dried Lavender

Utensils:

1. Measuring Cups

2. Measuring Spoons

3. Pouring Jar

4. Double boiler

5.  Tealight holder

6. Wicks

7.  Thermometer

8. Wooden Stirrer 

Fill the boiler with water. You need to only have a quarter of water. Keep your stove ready, put the boiler full of water on the stove. With the other boiler you have to fill it with a little bit of Soy Wax. Put a little more if needed. Put the boiler with soy in the boiler with water. Keep the soy at 75 degrees Celsius. Keep mixing but when the soy is 75 degrees then turn the stove off. Keep mixing the soy or else there will be lumps or it will get cold and it will stick to the pot. Pour the soy into the pouring jars and try not to let them get cold. Get your tealight holder and a wick. Put the wick in the middle and keep it straight. If it falls fix it. Using the warmed soy wax in the pouring jar slowly pour it into the tealight holder. Try to do it really slowly because if you do it fast it will spill. It's ok if it spills but move it away from the tealight holder or else it won't come off. Don't fill it in to the top, leave a small gap. When you are finished let it dry. When it has almost dried and a little bit of water need to be left to be dried, then with the dried lavender you can drop a few of its dried purple leaves. Then after when its fully dried then you have to leave it for a day. The next day you can start to use it. 

Thank you for looking at how to make soy candles. :) Have a great day.

Disco + Food + Secret Santa + Dancing = So Much Fun

Buenos Dias,

Friday the 4th of December was really fun. I want to tell you all about it. We also had mufti for three days in a row because Emrico, Jaymalyn and Faisa chose mufti for getting 150 green tickets. Congratulations to them. Ok now back to the story:

Early in the morning when school was open and I was coming to school in my dad's car then I saw my friend: Daphnee. I waved at her and she saw me. My mum dropped me to my class and I put my belongings away, took my lunchbox and Chromebook (Inside the case) inside. I saw that Mrs Odean and some other kids were changing the table so we can put the food and Secret Santa presents on one table. Pranav brought Lollies. Sharmake brought popcorn. Keti brought sushi. Faisa brought the muffins. Mehdi brought roti wraps. Mrs Odean had brought Lollies, Peaches, Nectarine and two christmas trees (For the Secret Santa). 

What happened around 12:50: 

The bell had rung and we started to pack up and pull the blinds down. We put music on and just dance. We were dancing, spinning around, following the leader, siting down and talking. We also started to sing some of the songs. I got dizzy (hehe) so I sat down on the chair for a little while. I did some of the just dances that we put on. I was singing some of the songs JUST with my lips. 

Mrs Odean (She was here because our class needs to have an adult around) was cutting the nectarines and the peaches in half. She opened everything else but not the lollies. When the bell rang for lunch eating at 1:25 then we sat down, ate some lunch. I had half a nectarine (It was delicious), some strawberries and a few crackers (The biscuit was lemon flavour and there was chocolate on it). 

I sat at a table and ate, then when I was finished I got my lunch box and had my sandwich which was ham sandwich (My favourite). I put everything away and in my bag. At 1:40 (When the bell rang to stop eating) we sat down so Mrs Odean could hand out the..... SECRET SANTA PRESENTS!! My one was in a big bag. But my present was small. When Mrs Odean was finished then she said that we could open our presents. My one was small but I still appreciated it and it was beautiful, I loved it. It was a charm bracelet. The person who got it for me was Pranav. My friend Daphnee got Jenga, Mahrosh got a necklace that says 'Love', Aarna got a bunny, Emrico got warheads sour pack and Ahmed got warheads sour pack too. 

My Secret Santa was Troy, I got him a ping pong set. He was very happy because he lost his old one. I am very glad of everything that happened on Friday. It was very fun, I was having a happy and a very fun day. 

So that was how my day was on a Friday. Keep looking at my blog for more story and things that happen. Also, keep a look out for my Christmas poster. Ok Bye. 

Art colouring book (SLJ)

 Hi World of Bloggers,

Today I finished colouring a picture called 'The Siesta'. If you didn't know what SLJ means then its short for Summer Learning Journey. First we had to go on a link to register. Second we had to put our school name in. Then we put our name, what year we are, teacher's name, blog link and if you can access the internet. I finished one colouring so far. It looks really really cool. It's a little hard to colour but I finished it last night. Here is the photo of the normal copy: 

And here is the one I made and coloured. It looks really cool. 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

 

T҉ a҉ b҉ l҉ o҉ i҉ d҉ ҉ R҉ e҉ f҉ l҉ e҉ c҉ t҉ i҉ o҉ n҉

 Hi Fellow Bloggers,

The first of summer went really because we did some tabloid activities. We were the leaders because we were the last class who had a turn to be leaders, Tabloid activities are like that there is a set of games and the group goes from this game to another game and so on. E.g: If there are seven groups and seven sets of activities then group one goes to the first game and group two goes to the second game and so on. It was really fun for me and hard because some issues that I will list down below. 

My Reflection:

What went well while leading the activities:

1.  Demonstrating to everyone.

2.  Counting each teams scores.

3.  Taking turns to explain how to play. 

4.  Everyone was playing nicely.

5.  Everyone had a go and participated.

6.  The kids (Room 8 and 9) were all having fun.

What didn't go well while leading the activities:

1. Leaders had to shout so that the participants can listen.

2. People were cheating by saying that they got in the hoop but they didn't.

3. Leaders were blocking the hula hoop goals.

4. No one was paying attention.

5. I had to tell some people to stop touching the bean bags twice. 

6. They were throwing three bean bags and your not allowed too. 

Thank you for looking at my blog post about 'Tabloid Reflection'. Comment down below if you liked my blog or saw a mistake that I can change and maybe more labels. But I hope you liked it. Thank you
