SLJ : Step it up Where’s Wally? : Summer learning journey

Hi Bloggers!

Back with even more SLJ ( Summer learning journey ) , I have done the step it up Where’s Wally? And I am excited to share this with you.
Incase you’re like wait what?! How are you doing step it up without your kick start finished? Don’t worry I have finished it and blogged it, If you would like to check it out I posted it a couple days ago. The task was pretty cool and if you have seen a Where’s Wally book then you probably will like it. Anyways let’s go talk about this task for Step it up!

The task for Where’s Wally step it up is to make an animation of Pac-wally aka based on the game Pac-man ! Just like a normal game of Pac-man the ghosts are out to get Pac and Pac has to make sure Pac doesn’t get destroyed by the ghosts. But we had to create this in an animation on Google slides. We could either use the starter ( One that we can finish ) or one to start our own. I decided to use the one that I could finish  because I didn’t quite know how to start it off and I kept adding slides onto it. This was a interesting task to do and I think it turned out well!

Hope you enjoy it

This task was interesting to do but it was very frustrating because as I moved Pac I had to move the other 4 ghosts and then sometimes I would forget to move them so when I went to play it the ghosts weren’t moving. So that bothered me a bit. But overall this was quite fun, It was kinda fun to do.

REFLECTION : I think I made this well, but I think that next time I would do Pac bumping into the ghost, It sounds pretty funny!! Anyways I liked the end result but I didn’t love making this. But overall this task was pretty fun and interesting.

Have you ever played Pac man before?
If you have when you first played were escaping or getting caught by the ghosts?

Thanks for learning with me!
Hope you learnt something new
Have a blessed and happy Christmas!
Bye!

SLJ : R.E.S.P.E.C.T Summer learning journey Kickstart

Hi Bloggers!
I have done another Summer learning journey activity. This activity is about Respect. Respect is a big thing to have, It is important you respect everyone and everything. This activity has Kick start and step it up.  For the Kick start activity you watch the 2 videos linked to the slide then read the text linked to the slide.  Then we start the activity

New activity  means new challenge has begun!
The activity is to make a copy of the Google drawings and you will see a Kiekie made out of shape, For this you can colour it and thicken the lines and borders or you can use it as a idea and start from scratch. I decided to use the shapes and to colour them. I tried my best to make the Kiekie look nice. Wait you’re wondering what Kiekie is? Well I’m glad you asked , Kiekie is a Tongan piece of clothing, The reason Tongans wear a Kiekie is to signify the beauty of the Tongan culture . I think the wearing of the Kiekie connects to the word respect because Tongan people wear the Kiekie as their culture and they are proud of it. That shows real respect for their culture. I think it is super important to have respect for your culture and other cultures.

What I thought about the task.

This task was quite easy to do, but it took me some time. This activity is a cool way to show respect to others. My favourite part of this activity was colouring it. It looked so beautiful! And also reading the text about Mele making Kiekie’s, They looked absolutely gorgeous.
Now that you know about my task…
Here is my Kiekie

I hope you like it!
REFLECTION : I think I did well, I liked how I did the colours and set it out. Maybe next time I might make the bottom line not cut off.. But overall I enjoyed doing this task and I loved learning about the Kiekie

Thanks for reading this blog post!
I enjoyed doing this task!
See you in my next SLJ blog post!

SLJ : Step it up Summer Styles

Hi Bloggers!
Wow, Today has felt like a SLJ marathon but these tasks are so mesmerizing and fun to do . Like after finishing one I want to do another one. These have been so cool so far.

Wait.. are you wondering what is SLJ? Well.. The summer learning journey is a fun adventure you can explore through, You can do new activities each day because there is 1 activity launched each day! Crazy how much work the SLJ team puts into these activities! There are so many I can’t keep up, But with these incredibly fun activities there comes a reward, How to get the rewards? By getting points! How to get points? By being a cool edublogger! ( Blogging the SLJ activities ) . They can earn you points as well as comments. Sounds amazing right?

Well now time to talk to you about the Summer style activity. If you have seen my previous post then you would know I have done the Kickstarter activity for Summer styles. If not you should 100% check that out after this blog post, the activity was so fun and cool, I am sure you would love it.  Who wouldn’t? Wait.. are you wondering about what kick start is and what is step it up? Well basically Kickstarter is like part 1 and stepping it up is part 2! Awesome right? You can do more FUN

Anyways!
The steps we have to do so we can do the Summer style activity is to watch the videos ( Obviously ) !  Then make a copy of the Google drawing linked to the slide. Then start to colour it in! This colouring was fun and felt relaxing to do. I chose some gradient colours which looked amazing!
Anyways here is my artwork

I made it like Land / Dirt , Lake , Rocks, Ocean , Sand and hills!

I tried my best to make it look nice. This was relaxing to do, it felt like mindful colouring but on the Chromebook..

Reflection : I think I did well on this, I liked how I coloured it , This was fun to do and I quite enjoyed this task. This task was easy to do though. Have you done this task yet? If you have I would love to see it ( You could leave a comment with a link 🙂 ).

SLJ : Kickstart Summer Styles : Summer Learning journey

Hi Bloggers!
In today’s blog post I have done another summer learning journey activity, in case you’re wondering, Summer learning journey is an adventure to do in the summer holiday. But the “Fun” part is the rewards, like a Chromebook, Headphones, Headset , Key board , Electric toy car and so much more! This helps kids to still be motivated to learn during the holidays, What motivates them? The prizes / rewards!  There are many tasks and activities to do. 1 task is launched each day . you can earn prizes by points. Sounds cool right? Well it is super cool!

Anyways here is the activity I have worked on. The activity is called Summer styles, This activity is about making contrast with lines or  warm and cool colours. We watched some videos on how to do it then we could choose between doing line contrast or colour contrast, I decided to do. This was a interesting task to do because for this task we could do it by hand on paper or on our Chromebooks. I decided to do the task on my Chromebook, I opened up a Google drawing and I used the line tools and shapes to make this contrast. I hope you enjoy it.

I am so proud of how this turned out, it took me so long to make and I started from scratch. I hope you enjoyed it! I loved making this.
Have you ever done this on Google drawings before? If you have done this before , you can comment a link to it, I would love to check it out!
REFLECTION : I think I did so so well, I am so proud of how it turned out, I loved doing this but next time I would do the coloured one because I think that would be a bit more challenging. Loved this task!
Thanks for making this task SLJ!
See you in my next post!

SLJ : Step it up Groove Pizza : Summer learning journey

Hi Bloggers!
Welcome to another Summer learning journey blog post, In case this is your first SLJ post you have seen, SLJ is basically a journey that you can do in the summer which have loads of activities for you to do, Each post and comment earns you a point. These points help you get prizes like headphones, Chromebooks, books , and so much more. This is a super interesting journey so I hope you enjoy looking at this journey and learning with me!

I have done the step it up Groove Pizza and I am going to share it with you.  SLJ’s step it up task for the groove pizza is to make an album cover for a song and then make a song which goes with that album cover. Summer learning journey provided us with a template we could use for the album cover. I used the template but I changed up the colours and made a name for the song and added some images on it. This task is pretty interesting to do and it gets your brain going. Glad that I did this task! I decided to name the song Jazzy Jam because I wanted the song to be jazz and I was looking for a word that starts with the letter j.

Anyways now that you know about the task here is my Groove Pizza Step it up audio

I tried to make it jazzy because the name of the song is Jazzy Jam.
Now here is the screenshot of my pizza

And here is my album cover

Hope you enjoyed it!
REFLECTION : I think I did well on the music and making the music but for the album cover next time I would try to add more detail to it because it looks a little bit plain in my opinion.

Thanks for learning with me!
See you in my next post
Byee!!
