That Was Summer - Summer Learning Journey Day 28.

 Kia Ora/Hello,

Today for our last activity, we had to make a poem called "That Was Summer". I enjoyed this activity because I love to write and I like to do poems the most, I like poems because you can write/express  whatever you want. I found nothing hard because I thought this activity was fun and easy to understand! I like how my poem turned out and my favourite lines are the first 2! I think they can really relate to Summer especially when I said "Remember the lukewarm waves circling around your feet like a whirl pool" because sometimes the water may be lukewarm.

We had to fill in a google drawing that was already set for us to write a poem! The poem was a 5 Senses Summer Poem which basically has 5 different categories which are, Touches and Textures, Smell, Feel, Sight and Sounds! I think anyone can make their own 5 Senses Summer poem!

Have you made a poem before? Are there any other poems that you do and want to recommend others? Have you heard about a 5 Senses In Summer Poem before?

Here is the google drawing for this activity:

Is Summer Vacation The Same Around The World? - Summer Learning Journey Day 24.

 Today for our activity we had to fill in a google drawing about New Zealand. I also decided to include a Venn Diagram in this blog post between China and Gisborne! I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to fill in the google drawing and because I decided to make it kind of better by including a venn diagram!  I found nothing difficult because it was really clear and easy to understand on what to do. 

Here is the Venn diagram but in words:

China: Their school holidays start in 11 July and end in 31 August, Their holidays are not at the end of the year.

Both: They both has Summer activities (Summer Learning Journey.), Both have holidays to have more time to spend with family.

Gisborne: Our holidays start in December and end in February, Our holidays are at the end of the year.

I choose China because I wanted to try and find a country that was way far away from Gisborne and I knew they wouldn't be similar because every country is different in their own way, but I choose China!

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:

My Summer Collage - Summer Learning Journey Day 19.

 Today for our 1st activity of the day we had to make a collage of what we do in Summer. I enjoyed this activity because it was really fun to do and find the images. I found nothing hard and what I found easy was finding the pictures because there's many pictures on the internet for you to use! What I do in Summer is I like read books and hang out with friends and family and maybe even go to visit the beach or either kaiti hill. Where do you go to in Summer?

Most of the pictures in my photo collage are either with family, myself or friends! I like to spend time with family because it's fun and you should be spending time with family in general! What do you do when you spend time with your family? Do you ever have barbeques? Here is my photo collage! 

3 Places To Go During Summer - Summer Learning Journey Day 18.

 Today for our last activity for the day we had to make a google slide about some of the places we love to go to during Summer and places that we are recommending people to go to. I choose three places, The Luge, Auckland and Tui Ridge! I also included a screencastify audio of me explaining why I choose these 3 specific spots to go to.

I firstly choose The Luge, it's a really fun place to go with friends and family and you get to go on a gondola on the way up and it's really fun and a really good view. Secondly, I choose Auckland, I choose Auckland because I love to drive there and you can see the Sky Tower when you go to Auckland, a good place for a holiday! Thirdly I choose Tui Ridge, I went to Tui Ridge on a school camp and it was really fun because we got to do many activities.

What I enjoyed about this activity is basically everything, what I found hard was trying to do the audio because on some I didn't know how to explain it! Here are my google slides:

My Super Summer Taste - Summer Learning Journey Day 12.

 For our last activity for the day we had to write and explain our favourite foods to eat in the Summer. I choose, Ice cream, watermelon/any fruit, soda, and yoghurt. I choose these mostly because they are really nice when they are cold and when its Summer you really crave something cold and nice to eat/ drink in the hot weather.

I have explained why I choose these even more in my google drawing! I made a google drawing of the foods, here is my google drawing:

Hana Kōkō Outfit For Santa - Summer Learning Journey Day 6.

 Today for our activity we had to read a book and it was about Santa and Christmas, here's the link: Click Here. I liked this activity because we could give Santa his own Summer outfit so he wouldn't get hot in his normal fluffy clothes. 

My inspiration for the outfit was the weather because its Summer which means it's really hot nowadays. 

What do you and your family do in Summer?

Here is what I created and explained why I choose those certain items:

Summer Holidays.

Summer Holidays.

Remember,
Driving to Hastings in the hot burning sun. Jelly ice cream melting and oozing out of the white whip creamy coloured bowl. The delightful fresh lavender fragrance in the air.

 Remember,
 The long uncomfortable drive including twisting and turning. Long drives of enjoyable mountain scenery at Kaiti Hill, with the king bees like busy men collecting pollen.

Remember,
 The vibrant flowers were as pretty as a picture. Summers are fading.. Winter is coming.

That was Summer.
