What an exciting afternoon I’ve had. First I learnt how to create a song. You can check this out on my previous post here then for this activity I learnt how to create a video using scratch. I had to design a pattern first then a background. Using code I added some special effects.
Check out my video:
These 2 activities were so much fun and I learnt two new skills. I look forward to using these again.
Blog you next time.
Hello, how are you enjoying my Summer Learning Journey? I am having lots of fun and learning heaps of new things.
Today’s activity involves me making my own song using Sumotones. This was so much fun. I used Sumotones for the first time and had to choose 3 instruments to create my song with. I chose drums, acoustic guitar and a round synth bass keyboard.
Then under each instrument there was prerecorded segments. I then played around and chose the ones I thought sounded good together and made this song. Have a listen.
Have you used Sumotunes before?
See you next time.
Back for some more silhouette art work. This time I have to create an art piece using one of the previous silhouettes and duplicating, flipping and using different colours and patterns.
I had lots of fun playing around with this creation.
See you on the next blog.
Welcome back to my blog. For this post I had to learn about silhouette drawings. Using google draw I had to take a photo of a family member with their side profile and draw around it and fill it in black. Here is my attempt. Siluets were highly popular between 1790 and 1840.
I am so excited about this post. I have been waiting to do some Nanogirl science activities. I watched Nanogirl making a seesaw and using it as a catapult. Then I had to try and make a catapult with my science toolkit that I gathered earlier in the Summer Learning Journey. For this task I had to use a cardboard tube, string, blue tack, long handled spoon and a projectile of my choice.
Here is a picture of my seesaw catapult before I tested it.
Then comes the fun part. Testing my creation. How many times do you think I was able to hit my target?
Unfortunately I only got the target once. It was very frustrating. But I wasn’t going to give up until I got the target at least once. I am proud of the perseverance I used until I reached my goal. I had to evaluate and problem solve to get my goal. I changed the direction the spoon was pointing and also the distance that the target (cup) was from the spoon a few times. Eventually I got the right combo.
Even though it was hard, I still had lots of fun.
Wow!! I managed to escape the Beach Holiday room. And then you know what was really exciting. I got to make my own escape room.
Do you think you’ve got what it takes to help the students get out to the playground.

Did you answer the question correctly and escape to the playground? If you make an escape room, please comment below with a link so I can try yours.
Hope you had fun.
For today’s blog, I got to make another One-Line Artwork, but this time I did it using Google drawing.
I was able to be creative with the colouring this time.
Which drawing did you like? I liked this one because it was a lot more fun and easier than the freehand one-line drawing.
Blog you next time.
These are some of my favourite activities because I enjoy being creative. Firstly I had to watch a couple of videos explaining easy line drawings. I then got to have fun and draw my own one-line drawing.
I chose to draw this line because it’s a self portrait of myself, and the reason I chose these colors was pink is my favourite colour and I wear pink hair ties most days. I couldn’t find a black colouring pencil so I used a normal pencil to colour my hair.
Hope you enjoyed my self portrait. I look forward to trying some more of these drawings, even though it was a little hard. I think with some more practice I will get better.
Blog you next time.
Continuing the design from my previous post, I now get to design my Summer house using Tinkercad.
I found this activity hard because I haven’t used Tinkercad much. So I found it a bit tricky making some of the key features.
What do you think of my design?
Look forward to sharing more exciting posts with you.
Have you ever thought about designing your own Summer house? That is what I get to do today in this activity. I had to think about the things I wanted in my house. Once I had my ideas I got to put them into a drawing and label the key parts.
Here is my design:
Would you have designed yours similar to mine? What would you do differently?
Catch you next time.
