Summer Learning Journey - Minecraft Education Edition - The Chemistry Lab

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today I have another amazing post to show you. Today we are using a world about Chemistry that we get to try out fun experiments! The first task in that world we had to make a balloon and tie it to an animal, a cow, pig or a chicken. How did it fly very easily? It flew easily because we added helium which is a very light air that can lift up anyone or anything. For the Step It Up Task I had to make my own lab, which I did as a classroom and added some experiment tables and an area that was closed off because one of the lights had fallen down. 

Here is my screencastify of my Portfolio: 


Hope you enjoyed today's task!

Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Ngā Motu

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today I have another Minecraft Education Edition post for you. We had to download a world to Minecraft Education Edition and do the task that were there. For the Kick Start I had to use a camera and a portfolio to take photos and the download the portfolio. The things I had to take photos of were 5 animals and 5 trees that are special to Aotearoa. And for the Step It Up Task I had to take photos of some Maori Words so I decided to do 5 of them.

Here is my portfolio:

Summer Learning Journey - Minecraft Education Edition - Minecraft Hour of Code

 Kia Ora bloggers! Today I did the Hour Of Code Minecraft Education Edition. It was so much fun helping other people to make a veggie farm, make a railway and even build a dock for the Villagers and Illigers to go fishing! 

This is my Kick Start certificate:

I had a lot of fun doing this task. The easiest task for me was the help bring down the ball from a Villager's elevator and the other task was the  one where we had to build a dock for them to go fishing. The activity that was challenging was the railway one because you had to move your agent down wards as well so I got a bit angry with that and moved to another task. I think problem solving skills are good because if you have your own problem you might know how to figure out the problem and if someone else has a problem them you could help them as well.

This is the Step It Up certificate: 

The thing that I found easy was when I had to go through the maze because we had to just move the agent forward some steps and then turn until we got to the gold plate. The thing that I found hard was the task where you had to till the garden and my agent kept on going all over the place and mucking bits up. I think our problem solving skills are amazing because you never know if someone has an accident or an argument and it's bothering you then you will know how to solve it.

Hope you enjoyed today's post!

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:
