Kia Ora. This SLJ activity is called Rainbow collage. For this activity we have to make a rainbow out of different images of colour textures. For red I found hearts, apples, buttons and Candy. For orange I found basketball, carrots, fishes and oranges, For yellow I found suns, flowers and bananas. For green I found cucumbers, turtles and leaves. For blue I found blueberries, whales and sea-stars. For indigo I found flowers and birds. For violet I find red lettuces and onions. My favourite part of this activity was finding different images and put them into a rainbow.

Have you ever made a rainbow before?

Kia Ora, This SLJ activity is called Tangram Tangles. Tangram is a puzzle that’s made out of 7 basic shapes, which include two small triangles, a parallelogram, one medium triangle, a square and two large triangles. For this activity we have to use a Tangram builder to build our own image that represents Summer, I chose to make something about sports because I play a lot of sports when it is Summer. I chose a person who is playing basketball because basketball is my favourite sport game, I used the medium triangle as the head, two large triangles as the body, two small triangles as the legs, a parallelogram as the hand and a square as the ball.

I also did something about the colours, I chose light-yellow for the legs which stands for the beach, blue for the body which stands for the sea, yellow for the head which stand for the sun and red for the hand which stand for hot and sport. My favourite part of this was that we get to create anything that’s about summer.

Have you ever used Tangram Tangles before?

Kia Ora. This SLJ activity is called “Design your own surfboard.” As you read this activity’s title you probably know this activity is about designing your own surfboard. I made a surfboard for 2023 because it is near 2023 (3 days left, yeah!) . One thing I thought was a bit hard was to find an idea of what you’re going to make, but my favourite part of this was making this surfboard by using different shapes, colours and lines.

Have you ever designed your surfboard before?

Kia Ora. This SLJ activity is called “Math Riddles”. For this activity we have to complete some tricky Math riddle questions, some of the questions are a bit easy for me and some of them are a bit tricky. After I checked the answer there was 1 question that tricked me, ” How many times can you subtract 10 from 50?” The answer is once because if you subtract 10 from 50 then it would be 40, so that’s not long 50. There was another question that I got a bit stuck but finally I figured out was a question about finding rules of some numbers, at last I find some clue from the number that has a 0 in from of it so I had a look upside down of those numbers and find solve pattern.

Have you ever tried any of the maths middles before?

Kia Ora Whanau, this summer learning activity is called Escaped room. For this activity we have to escape the room to the beach from answering the questions and solving the hidden code. make our own escape room. We also get to make our own escape room, I made an escape room about music because I like music. One thing I thought had was making our own questions.

Kia Ora Whanau. This SLJ activity I chose is a SLJ activity called Art for Art Sake and this activity is about Silhouette Art. For this activity we have to sketch or use google drawing or take an image of someone in your family on side view, then we have to colour in the image black and fill in with a white background. One thing I learned from this activity was that the word “Silhouette” traced back to early mid-18th century French, finance minister Etinne de Silhouette. Etinne de Silhouette likes to make this kind of image of him so this art was formed and named after him.

Have you ever tried Silhouette before?

Here is my Silhouette art:

Kia ora, this is my third SLJ activity blog post. For this activity we have to find a blog post to read and then we have to make a kind comment for it. I chose one of my friend’s blog posts to comment on and he is called Jacob. My favourite part of this activity was reading his blog post, it was about superpowers. For our blog post we have to use the success criteria to help write our comments which include positive, thoughtful and helpful sentence.

Here is my comment:

Kia ora koutou, this is my first actual 2022/23 SLJ activity. For this activity we have to make a poem for summer because it is summer. First we have to make a copy of a Google slide and follow the instructions.  For our instructions we have to write some ideas down about our poem and then we get to write a poem.

In Te Ngahere we had a new SLJ activity.  For this activity we had to choose an art from “Art Colouring Book”. I chose the Christmas edition because it is nearly Christmas. In the Christmas edition I chose an image that’s about Christmas music, in that image it has 3 people including two musicians and a child sing Christmas song. My favourite part of this activity is colouring the image. we get to use 16 different colours to colour in the image, also we get to do whatever colour we want on the image.
