False Teeth - Summer Learning Journey Day 2.

 For my 2nd activity today we watched a video about these two men fishing and one sneezes and his dentures fall out and the other man keeps laughing so when he catches a fish he takes out his own dentures and put them in the fish's mouth, he shows his friends and he think they are his so then he tries them on and finds out he's pranking him so throws his friends dentures in the water so they both dont have any.

I found this pretty fun because we got a already made comic and we had to try and write what we thought they would be dsaying in the scene. Here is a link to the original video: Click Here. 

I enjoyed doing this because it was fun and we could make them say practically anything. Here is what I created:

Floral Insect - Summer Learning Journey Day 2.

 Today for my Summer Learning Journey activity we had to make art out of things in my backyard like flowers or leaves! I mostly liked finding the flowers because we had quite a lot I didn't even know about. 

I tried to make a dragonfly with leaves and added a little background. I mostly used flowers, leaves and this thick grass we had a bit of in my backyard. I think this was really fun because it's free and you can make whatever you want. 

We were also supposed to come up with a name for our insect so mine is... Autumn because in some parts of the world dragonflies mainly come out in Autumn!

Have you ever made something out of things in your backyard? If so, what material did you like, such as flowers or leaves? Here is what I made!

Explore Equipment! - Summer Learning Journey Day 1

 Today for our first Summer Learning Journey activity, we had to go around our house to try and find old things to use to turn into something like superpowers or magic but I made some origami paper sword and a axe by using my old coloured paper.

Here are the links so you can make your own as well! Click here. & Here.

Equipment:

Coloured paper

Scissors

Glue

A4 paper.

I hadn't found anything hard but my first plan was to make a ninja star but I couldn't so I found some really cool swords on youtube and decided to make them.

2020 Goal Update.

 In term 1 we got a goal setting template that we filled in, but today we updated it. We make goals for each year so we can keep track of the year and see what we can do and what we cant. We wrote if we achieved in what we wrote on the google drawing.

Have you or your class done a goal setting?

Making Ice Candles - Science.

 Yesterday we made some Ice Candles, the things we used was An old carton, Some oil, Some old coloured candle, Ice, A long candle to go in the middle. 

The first thing we did was cut the top of an old milk carton so that its shaped as a rectangle. Next we got some oil and poured it into the milk carton and used our fingers to spread the oil around the different sides of the carton so when we pour the hot wax it wont stick into the carton when it dries. After the oil has spreaded we melt the old candles in a pan and wait till its turned into a liquid.

While it was melting we put the long candle in the middle of the carton. Meanwhile the wax has melted we put it aside and put ice in the carton with the long candle and poured the wax into it and left it for 24 hours.

Today we ripped them open and the candle had holes in it and the ice melted so it was pouring quite a lot of water. So that means when we light the candle the wax thats melting by the flame is going to ooze out of the holes in the candle.

Here are photos of our class making it: 

November Reflection Newsletter.

 Today we did our November reflection because it's the 1st of December which means it's almost Christmas! We reflect on our learning every month so we can look back and see what we've done in the past or either there's something that we might need to improve. 

Have you ever done something like this with your class? If so what was the favourite time of the year for you?
