Summer Learning Journey – Bug Treasure Hunt – Kick Start

Today’s Summer Learning was very fun and creative because our task was to take photos of bugs around your house or yard. I found this task very interesting because I found out the  different types of creatures or insects that were in my house and yard.

The insects that I found around my house and lawn were months, roly poly bugs, crickets and lastly a ladybug. There were way more than just four insects but I decided to pick these four because I thought that these four were my favourite.

Something that I learnt while doing this Summer Learning Journey task was that the Atlas Moth is the biggest moth holding up to eleven inches ( 30 cm ).

 

 

Summer Learning Journey – Mosha’s Spiecal Leg

For this Summer Learning Journey activity, we designed a prosthetic leg for Mosha the elephant’s front left leg. Mosha was on a walk when she stepped on a rock and tripped so hard that she had to amputate her legs when was only seven months old, which made this task especially meaningful. I really enjoyed working on this activity because it required a lot of creativity and careful thinking. I spent a long time deciding which patterns and designs would best suit her leg, as I wanted it to look both functional and unique. This activity helped me understand the importance of empathy, problem-solving, and thoughtful design when creating something to help others.

Overall this task was very ntresting and fun both because of how she is going to like it and if it is comfortable. I chose blue because I feel like this colour suits her the most.

Summer Learning Journey – Step It Up ( Legs Tally )

For this Summer Learning Journey, Hasna and I found different types of facts about the Giant Centipede. We first started off with exploring information about centipedes, so we can answer those questions. This activity was found intresting by Hasna and I because some of these questions was hard to find about. But we ended up completing our task which made us proud of ourselves. One fact that I have learnt about centipedes is was how they only have an odd number of legs instead of even.

 

 

 

Summer Learning Journey – Legs Tally ( Kick Start )

For the next activity for Summer Learning Journey it is called Legs Tally, For this activity the studednts and I had to choice to show our maths knowledge using centipede legs. Our first instruction was to watch a video about centipedes and to also read about diffrent types of centipedes.

Our next instruction was to use our maths knowledge to fill out the DLO about questions and to write our answer and why. I found this task fun because I could learn about centipedes and also learn about maths at the same time. Overall this task helped me strive more in maths and also in the topic critters and creatures.

 

 

 

 

Summer Learning Journey – Art In The Web ( Step It Up )

For this activity we neeeded to create a spider web using paper and scissors .  First we watched a video article called “Spider Webs: Spider Artists At Work”. Then we needed to research and learn how spiders make webs:

These are some facts that I have learnt about spiders webs and the spiders itselfs.

  • Making liquid silk inside their body.

  • Pushing that liquid out through tiny holes (spinnerets) on their rear end.

  • The silk instantly hardens into a thread when it hits the air.

  • They use their legs to shape the threads into a web.Overall in my opion I think that this task was really extordinary because I loved to see my creation come from paper to spider web.

 

Summer Learning Journey – Art In The Web

This week for the Summer Learning Journey we created a spider web using our own imagination.

Our topic was called Art In The Web, Our first step was to learn how to draw a spider web, Our next step was to test our own spider skills and create our own spiders webs using pencil and paper. I found this task very intresting because we could play a game that relates towards the activity that we are completing. One fact that I have learnt about spider webs are theat they are thiner than a strand of hair but are super strong. Overall this task was very fun and entertaining.

 

 

Diorama

For Inquiry our task was to pick a moment in time like an event that is very interesting to you and create a Diorama about it. I found this task very interesting and fun because it helps me learn more about the past and it helps me be more fun and creative during learning time. While creating this Diorama it was very hard only because having to draw the fireworks and cut them out is very difficult. Overall this Diorama was very fun and my favorite part was finding information about Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes

This week for Inquiry we had created our very own Diorama. For our Diorama we have used a Shoe Box, paper, and some tape to put it all together. In my own opinion I think that this activity was very fun and entertaining because it helps me with my creativity and helps me think in different ways.

One interesting fact that I learnt about Guy Fawkes is that he was not in fact the ring leader but the vice ring leader, The actual ringleader was Robert Catesby. This story happened all because of the king saying that the catholic people were not allowed to practise their religion freely.

This action has damaged many catholics and a group of catholic men decided to take extreme action towards the incident. Guy Fawkes was one of them. They decided to put 36 barrels in the cellar underneath the House Of Parliament planning to blow up the king and a few leaders.

Integers


In math this week, My group and I explored integers, which are numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero. We used a number line to help us understand how to add, subtract, and multiply them. For example, 5 − 2 moves two steps left to 3, while 5 − (−2) moves two steps right to 7. For multiplication, 2 × 3 jumps two steps of +3 to reach 6, and 2 × (−3) jumps two steps of −3 to reach −6. It was fun to see how integers can go forward, backward, up, and down, and the number line made it really easy to understand.

The Great Shearers Strike

LI: to understand the story within the poem

For reading, we were challenged to create a DLO explaining both perspectives about the Great Shearers Strike. We watched 2 videos that told us about the Strike in Australia (the strike was inspired by future labour reforms and the birth of Australian Labour Party. We shared our knowledge to explain what we know from the video that is added to our perspective A and B (Farmers and Shearers). Did you know that the farmers were paying the shearers low money which led to the shearers to protest and show them what is not enough on the other side Shearers needed a day off due to showing their bosses about how they do things, treat others and how they were getting low paid money. In our own opinion it talks about which side is the best decision. We wrote a summary about the story of the Great Shearers Strike. We enjoyed learning about The Great Shearers Strike because we got to learn about how strike was invented and how they fought for their own rights.
