Digital Glider Made Out Of Recycled Materials - Summer Learning Journey Day 28.

 Kia Ora/Hello,

Today for our first activity, we had to make a glider out of recycled materials, I choose to do mine digitally because then you have access to any material you want and because I couldn't find any cardboard around my house! I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to do and because I love to craft and make stuff! What I found difficult was trying to find the right shape for the wings. I got inspired by those planes that fly up in the sky. 

I like how it turned out but I do have to say, I thought it might've turned out better! I watched a video about a guy making a glider that actually flies out of paper and a skewer! Here is the video link if you wanna make your own at home! Click Here. 

I made a google drawing and I added the materials I looking forward to add which was cardboard and a skewer, I think anyone can make this at home but I especially wanted to do it digitally! The questions are . . . 

Do you think it could work like a paper plane and fly? Have you made a paper plane/glider before? 

Here is my google drawing for this activity:

Summer Symmetry - Summer Learning Journey Day 21.

 Today for our last activity we had to play a game where we had to guess how many symmetrical sides can this shape make, here is the link to the site if you wanna check it out and give it a try: Click Here. I found this activity very exciting and fun because I like to do art and maths. I decided to try and do it digitally to make it easier! What I found challenging was rotating the images to be symmetrical. 

For this activity I also made some google slides about it to make much more funner. My favorite slide would be the Radial slide because it was pretty easy to make besides the Bilateral one. What one did you like? Do you know the differences between them? The difference is that the Radial symmetry generates identical body halves around the centre, whereas! The bilateral symmetry generates only two sides, left and right. 

Here are my google slides for this activity:

Digital Fruit and Veggie Art - Summer Learning Journey Day 13.

 Today for our 1st activity we got to do art but with fruit and vegetables! I choose to do mine on my chromebook because them I'd have access to more fruits I might've not had at home. The person who created this type of art was.. Giuseppe Arcimboldo, he was an Italian painter and loved doing art with stuff you find outside, books, fruit and vegetables.

I learnt that doing art with something other than paper and colours can turn into a masterpiece as well. What I used for my art was a watermelon for the head, blueberries for the nose and eyes, half a lemon for the ears, cherries for the earrings, lettuce for the hair and a banana for the smile! 

I've also included a couple of facts about the painter in my google drawing, here is the art that I made:
