Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Week 5 Day 5 - It's A Balancing Act

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today I had to watch a video of someone stacking some rocks on the edge of a small river by a little water fall and the he takes photos of the stack. Then for the Kick Start task I had to try and stack some rocks like him in the video. And for the Step it up I had to do the same thing but either with only rocks or sticks or both. So I decided to use both as well as using sticks on their own. We also had to add an image onto a google drawing and add labels to what are the important parts of the stack. I also named my stacks, The Haunted Stone Temple, Sticks, Sticks And Even More Sticks!, and The Two-Headed Lizard.

Here is my slideshow I added them to:

Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Week 5 Day 3 - Poi Rakau

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today is another Maori post because I am going to teach you how to play Poi Rakau. It is a really fun game! For the Kick Start activity we had to watch a video on how to play it the practice saying left and right in Maori. Then we had to play it with our family or friends. We had to create our own instructions either using screencastify or a Google Slide Deck.

Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Week 5 Day 3 - Summer Song Maker

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today's post is about music and songs because we had to create our own song using Song Maker from Music Lab. I had so much fun doing this task. My song reminds me of summer because in the lyrics I talk about summer and they also remind me because of the way I added the notes. I used WeVideo to add the images and adios to the song.

Here is my Song: Click on the image below to see my song:

I also have written down my lyrics. Click HERE for the link to the lyrics.

Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Week 5 Day 1 - Build an Anti Gravity Glass with Nanogirl!

Kia Ora bloggers! Today I had to create a Anti Gravity Glass with the help of Nanogirl. For the first task we had to fill up a drinking glass with water to the top and put a piece of thin cardboard onto the top and tip the glass upside down. The first time I tipped the glass upside down it didn't work and the water spilled out but I tried again and it worked. Then for the second task we had to cut an empty plastic bottle to make a little cup with the bottom half, cut a hole big enough to fit the string through and do the same on the opposite side and then tie the string through and do a double knot. Then you need to add a little bit of water in the little cup you made and twist the string around your hand (not to tight) and then swing it around in a circle out in front of you and then see how much water came out. 

Here are the videos I created.
