SLJ – Art in the web – [kick start]

For the Summer Learning Journey Step it up activity, I was challenged to get creative and break out those scissors to do some more challenging crafting. For this step up activity, we would need paper, and some toilet rolls. I watched a video on “how to” to help us learn to cut the toilet rolls to create little spiders and paper to cut out spiderwebs. We also watched an article video called SpiderWebs Artists at Work. After we finished doing all of the activity, we had a go on playing the Summer Learning Journey SpiderWeb Quiz game. Something I learned in the video is that spiderwebs are tricky as their designs are difficult. An activity I found hard was trying to cut out the spiderwebs because there were lots of layers but turned out cool!

Have you ever touched a tricky spiderweb before?

Legs Tally [Kick Start]

For this summer learning journey task, We found out alot more about giant centipedes. We answered questions and that lead to us using our brain and learning much more facts about centipedes, i also made a word problem myself that involves centipedes aswell, i hope that you guys can learn more to!

Summer Learning Journey – Octopus Oddities ( Kick Start )

Our task for this week Summer Learning Journey was to create an illustration using the colour page that was given. A fact that I have learnt about octopi ( Group of octopus ), is that they have three hearts and they do not have red blood but they have blue blood.

I found this task very interesting because it shows me facts and helps me learn about the topic which is Critters and Creatures. Overall this task was interesting and fun at the same time only because of using different colours and different methods to create different colours.

Wailzing Matilda 25 summary

For Reading we have been learning about “Waltzing Matilda” and how a Swagman stole a jumbuck which came from Austraila. We answered the questions on the document in our own words, and read the poem. Something I found interesting was when at the end of each line it always says “You’ll come a Watlzing Matilda with me”. We were challenged to create a summary that is exactly 25 words that talks about the peom or song from the Waltzing Matilda. Me and my group used Gemini to create a picture of a time line of where swagman started to the end that is related to what Barjon Paterson wrote. We enjoyed doing this activity because we get to understand the meaning behind his story.

Shearer’s Strike

For Reading we have been learning about “Shearers strike of 1891” and we were challenged by our teachers into putting this text into perspectives ( perspectives is two different opinions and our own opinion with different sides of their story and what they think) between the Shearers and the Pastoralist, The Shearers fought for their right because the prices for the wool had dropped, they persuaded other Shearers ( Shearers are people who cut the wool off the sheep) to stop working because they felt it was unfair that they were not getting paid fairly, basically they protested with the pastoralist to give a better pay and work conditions. But  the Pastoralist ( Farmers/ Landowners ) dropped the pay for the shearers because they had dropped the prices of the wool so they wanted to get more sales. They thought it made more sense to drop the pay of the workers because they needed to get more sales than they already had. They also thought it was the  right thing to do and so they tried to include the police and the government to agree with their perspective. In our opinion we agree with both perspectives because the Shearers they work hard and are not earning a lot of money to pay bills and money to pay for food to feed themselves and their children. The Pastoralists are also right because they need to drop the price of the wool because they are not getting enough sales from how expensive the wool is. I found this interesting because we got to learn about the different sides of perspectives and how my group collaborated and all participated in this activity.

Dinosaur egg AI

For this task we have been learning about dinosaurs, We got to create our own egg made out of flour, salt and water that created a form of clay. Later on we created an egg made out of clay and added our dinosaur inside. We mixed up all the eggs and cracked them open to see what dinosaur you have, after opening the egg we researched what protection, diet, predator and habitat our dinosaur has.I found this activity interesting because did you know that the ankylosaurus dinosaur uses its tail for defense against other predators.

Procedural writting

For this task we were challenged to create a dinosaur made out of  black paper,scissors, gluestick, paper and a ruler. during this task we had to write our instructions while creating our practice dinosaur which we used Red paper so we knew which one was our practice and our model, after creating our practice dinosaur and we wrote our Instructions we were challenged to create a model dinosaur out of black paper using the instructions we wrote to create our red dinosaur. I enjoyed this task because we learnt how to create a dinosaur only using black/red paper, scissors, gluestick,  paper and a ruler without any instructions, we used our brains to create and write our instructions and our model ( dinosaur ).

Moodboard – Child coming home in the rain from the store

LI: To understand poetry can transform everyday life into something meaningful. Poets use various techniques to make this happen, creating specific feelings and moods for the reader.

For Reading we were challenged to create a moodboard refering to the book we read which was ” Child coming home in the rain from the store”. But before we created this DLO we had to read about the story, after reading the story we were challenged to create a DLO, I researched about Rain moodboards for inspiration, then I searched up photos that I look like it refers to the story of ” Child coming home in the rain from the store” then I gathered all the photos and put all on a DLO. I found this task fun because I learnt about the story of ” Child coming home in the rain from the store”.
