Summer Learning Journey - Activity 93 - Poetry slam ono - Kickstart

 Kia Ora bloggers,


I hope you are having a wonderful day. If you are wondering why I have not done the colors in ink activity that was because it did not work because I don't have the right markers for this experiment. I skipped that activity so I can catch up with my other tasks. I have a question. When does the SLJ end?

For this task we had to create a snowball poem. For the kickstart activity we had to make a difference of each line by a word. I am going to now share with you my snowball poem.

Here it is:

Hope you like it.

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

I chose to point it toward the sky because if there was birds flying or butterflies they would be seen. If I made another summer sound recording I would definitely do it at a different time of the day and point the camera towards something more interesting.

Here is the short clip.

Sumer Learning Journey - Activity 85 - Kōwhaiwhai - Kickstart

 Kia Ora Bloggers,


This task was in Maori which was hard to understand but I managed to translate it for myself. We had to create koiri and koru. I have drawn things similar so I really enjoyed this activity. I did this activity on paper. I used some coloring pencils to give it a tint of color. This is a traditional Maori artwork that is very unique and beautiful if I say so myself. I did not use summer colors on the first one because I found out after I made it. I did make the second one with summer colors.

Here is my Koru and Koiri designs:

Summer Learning Journey - Activity 84 - Zhuzhing it up - Step it up

 Kia Ora Bloggers,


I hope you guys had an amazing weekend. . For this activity we had to make a story board of the part where Aiden was embarrassed for everyone's reaction to what was inside his bag and how he could have reacted. We were also given some question to answer. We also could make a peice of something that wearable out of recycled items.

What was Aiden's reaction to seeing other look inside his bag - Positive/negative and why?                       Positive because they did not say anything or make fun.

What was the problem in the story?                                                                                                             The problem in the story is that all the bags were the same and got mixed up while the children were doing P.E so they had to open the bags to see which bag is who's. 

Is it okay to have the same thing or should everyone have different things?                                                  It is okay to have the same things but I personally think it is better to have unique things.

Here is my story board:



Here is a photo of my recycled wearable item.

Summer Learning Journey - Activity 83 - Zhuzhing it up - Kickstart

 Kia Ora bloggers,


For this activity we had to read a story called nobody laughed. We were were given a few questions to answer. We also got to decorate a t-shirt and predict what was inside Aiden's bag. Now I will be answering the questions.

Why did everybody have the same bag?                                                                                                          That is because everyone must have shopped at the big barn store.

Did the teacher do the right thing by opening the bags?                                                                                  I don't know because some children don't like sharing their secret things.

Is it okay to have the same things as other or should everyone have things that are different?                      It is okay to have the same things but I think it is much better to have different things as people can get muddled up with things etc.

Here is my prediction:


Here is my designed t - shirt:


Hope you like it.

Summer Learning Journey - Activity 65 - Sun, wind & Rain - Step it up

 Kia Ora bloggers,


For this  activity we had to create a weather report! I used screencastify. It was good weather on the 5th. I said in the kickstart that I was going to say the last part of the story. I am now going to complete what I was telling you guys in the kickstart. Today and yesterday it was the same weather.

Blue cod stone

When the people of Ngati Koata fished for blue cod, they noticed that in some of the fish there were small pebbles inside them. This happened after bad weather. Whenever there was good weather fish would not have pebbles inside their bodies.

Sun Halo

Most farmers would probably know that when the sun is halo or there is a rainbow surrounding it will be stormy weather. Tiny ice crystal split the sun's rays into rainbow colors. 

I have noticed that it has been sunny and cloudy recently.

Anyways here is my weather forecast video.


Hope you like it.

Summer Learning journey - Activity 64 - Sun, wind & rain - Kickstart

 Kia Ora bloggers, 


I hope you are enjoying your holiday. For this task we were supposed to make a weather journal. I did this for 2 days in a row. The people who predict weather are called medioligist. Now I would like to share with you all a little bit about what I learnt about the history of predicting weather.

Before this modern way in which people find out the weather came in people would predict what the weather would be like with the sense of nature. The way they figured it out was very cool and smart. I am going to be telling you guys about the different techniques they would use to figure out what the weather would be like . I am going to only tell a few of them  and tell the rest of it in the step it up activity.

The Nor' west Arch

Maori and European settlers noticed a long grey cloud stretched across the sky. They discovered a warm   north - west wind appear . When the arch appeared in the morning it would most likely to be hot, dry and windy.

The Whakaari/ White island plume

The people of Te Whanau-a-Apanui in the bay of plenty figured out when a cloud of smoke raised up into the sky from the volcanic white island (Whakaari) moved towards the left side soon after rain would start pouring. Whenever plume came out in a flat line, wind then appeared.

The sound of waves

When the sound of breaking waves boom is heard from the valley coast, the people of Te Roroa know that bad weather and rain will appear.

Here is my weather Journal slides.


Here is the video.


Have a nice day!

Happy New Year!! We are finally in 2022 and going to be starting school next month. I have caught up with the activities I have not done and am super happy.

It all worked out and there was no changes needed. I went so fast. I did it on screencastify. I like how it turned out and it floated for about 30 minutes then it sank because the water went inside the cans. I only took the video for a short time.

Anyway here is my screencastify.



Have a great 2022.
