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.
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.
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.
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.
Another fun activity. I had to watch a video on how to make a project with Google Earth. The project I got to create was showing all the places I mentioned in my previous post of my Summer Tiki Tour. I then had to screencastify explaining my Summer Tiki Tour.
You can watch it here:
Have you used Google Earth to create a road trip?
Blog you later!
Today’s activities were very exciting. I had to look at some examples of recreated portraits, watch a video about a challenge during lockdown, then choose a famous portrait to recreate myself. I got to dress up in my mum’s clothes and use things around the house to help recreate the portrait. For example I used a tablecloth to hide our bookcase and look like a curtain. I used tissues for the cuffs of the dress and a small blanket for the headpiece.
Here is my recreation
This painting is called Arrangement In Gray And Black No. 1. The artist James McNeill Whistler painted this portrait of his mother in 1871 while he was living with her.
How well do you think my recreation was?
For the second part of this activity I had to give my reasons why I think this challenge was such a success, especially during a lockdown. Check out my video below for my answer.
Welcome back to my blog. Today’s activity firstly had me watch a few more videos about the Makefu celebrations. Then I had to ask my whanau about how they think celebrations connect us to our culture. From their answers I had to choose one to create a poster about.

How do you think celebrations connect us to our cultures?
See you on the next blog.
Kia ora and welcome back to my blogs. For today’s summer learning journey activity I had to post a Te reo comment on someone’s blog post but before I did that, I had to watch a video on how to craft a blog comment in Te reo. After I had to watch another video on how to post your comment and share them on your blog. Once those videos were done I had to copy a slideshow and do what it showed on the videos. Then I had to post my comment. here is a photo of my Te reo comment.
I hope to see you on my next adventure
Bye
