Cicadas Do Maths-SLJ

Cicadas Do Maths

(Sorry I have not been blogging a lot of SLJ stuff)

Just letting you guys know that I will try to blog more tasks after Christmas until the  new years because I am going to be busy for a while. 

Hey everyone! 

Today I decided to do a SLJ task! I did "Cicadas Do Maths" because it sounded really fun and interesting!

Activity one: Kick start! I found this activity really fun, it was really cool to think about what I want to do when I get older and who I want to become. It was really cool to think about and to vision what my life would be like!  This Kick Start activity was so much fun to do and I really enjoyed it. I recommend trying this activity if you want a nice and calm thing to do. Here is my "When I am 17... " work!

Activity two: Step It Up  For this activity we had to make a Cicada life cycle. I found this one easy and hard. This was really fun to learn about, as I literally had no knowledge about Cicadas but now I know what they look like, and other facts about them. I created the cycle on a google drawing. This was really fun to and now I know heaps of facts. For example the main fact I learnt was that shortly after a 17-year old Cicada nymph (a Cicada nymph hatches from an egg) hatches from it's egg it burrows itself into the ground. Where it spends it's first 17 years of it's life excavating tunnels and eating the sap from the free roots. I hope you like my work! 

Summer learning journey-Vector Art Decoration

Hey everyone!

Today I decided to do one of the activities for the Summer learning journey! I wanted to create a Vector Art Decoration because it sounded like a lot of fun and I wanted to give it a go! Activity 1: Kick start! I was inspired by a hourglass type of shape but I changed the actual shape to diamonds but the same sort of outside shape of the hourglass if that makes sense?  I wanted to make it green and red because I like those colours and I also wanted some short of shape inside the diamond!  Some tips I would recommend is to add different shapes because it makes it look really cool and adds detail. Also maybe a lot of different colours (if you want) to make it stand out. My last tip would be to make it a unique shape and not just a circle for your decoration. Activity 2: Step it up. 

Activity 1: Kick start! This is what I have created! 

Activity 2: Step it up, this is what I have done for this activity! 

I have started to do this activity but I have to stop now because I have to go for the weekend so sorry if I don't finish it.

I don't have any tips so far as I have just started doing it. I have decided to do the rock because I like his acting he does. Even though this is NOT finished I will still show you!

Kiwi Christmas on the beach!

Hey everyone!

Today we needed to make a Christmas shape google drawing. This was inspired by summer learning journey but this is not one of the tasks for summer learning journey. We were doing the real summer learning journey but then our Toroa buddies came and we needed to do something easy for them so we made a new google drawing and we had to make a picture. Mine is a Kiwi Christmas on the beach.  My buddies helped me make this too.
