Step it up/Cicada Pizza

Do you like eating food ? Or are you not a big eater? Well this post is about food  In more descriptive words Cicada Pizzas. Did you know some people across the world eat cicadas and their food. for our learning went off and saw an article with people making FRIED CHOCOLATE CICADAS!. Now with the creation we had a template with a picture of a bowl in this bowl we had to make a meal of anything but the twist was we had to add cicadas. And of course as you probably would have I made my favourite food…. Pizza .

At the start I had no clue what food to make but then I thought of a pizza. My favourite bit when I made the pizza was  adding the cicadas and the labels for them. The hardest bit was thinking what toppings to put on it. That's why there's only one topping. BUT i can admit It looks kind of good.

Kick Start/Exploring the world of Cicadas

On with the topic of summer. We're going to look at Cicadas. For our learn we watched a video of a cicada shedding its skin. I found this video a little yucky if you were to ask me but it's normal to them. Then we learnt about their skins that they leave everywhere. After that we had to look for cicada skins and make art out of them! Though it said if you couldn't find any then you could draw a cicada. So I went for about a 5 min walk for some and couldn't find any at all so I went to plan B drawing a cicada.

I really enjoyed drawing the cicada becuase there so colourful ! X. I found It hard to draw the legs of the cicada because there like.. Sticky and skinny I had to start a million times. If you want to learn how to draw one Here's a video you can follow. Matewa

Step it up/Summer Collage

For this step it up task we had the challenge of making a collage out of things that remind me of summer like the summer essentials task. Some of the things I put in my collage were An Ice cream, sunglasses, A pool And some other things I’m not gonna spoil.

I liked this task because summer is my favourite time of year and is also what season I'm born in. But the best bit of this task was probably finding the photos that looked the best to me. Honestly  this task was very easy for me. The hardest bit was trying to think of what photos to put in and making sure they all fit on the page. Also if you would like to comment witch season is your favourite are you a hot person or do you like the cold

Kick Start /My Summer essentials

Now that summer has sunk in we need to write down what we need this summer. What do you pack in the car when you're off to go to the beach? What are your summer essentials?. For this task our wonderful SLJ team gave us another task related to summer. To help us out we had a slide created for us to write in all the things we need during summer.

I really enjoyed the side of this task that I got to express what Unique things I do in summer that other people don't. I found this a challenge because I have lots of summer essentials but not 12 of them. Though that was probably the hardest part. Comment what your top 3 summer essentials are and I will be sure to reply if we have something in common. Matewa!

Step It up / Stickman, THE JOURNEY

For the next step of my Favourite task is to make a stick figure animation. This animation had to have a stick figure doing activities. For my animation I decided to take some ideas from my Day in the life of my Stickman picture. I chose walking a dog simple isn't it? Well in the animation it went from simple to completely weird and unexpected.

My favourite bit about this task was that I got to use my imagination in my own way and got to create a crazy story/animation. I found it a little bit hard to move the stickman and dog on each slide. One click then another then another then another. Though next Time I would probably change the fact that it was so long because people might just leave and not finish it

Kick Start/ The day in the life of a stickman

This activity has probably been my favourite so far. Why because when it comes to drawing my isn't very good so the only thing I can make look perfect is something simple. And stickmen are the most simplest thing you can get if you draw a person. A circle and lines. For this activity we had to draw a stickman doing different activities we had to fill the HOLE page. 

What I liked about this task is that I could make the stickman do things I like to do like skateboarding and walking a dog. Though what I did find challenging about this activity was thinking about what actions to draw and filling up the whole page. 

While I made this post I thought about how I could make it more interesting. Then I thought about it being the day  in the life of a stickman. So read through it and see what my stick man does everyday!

Kick Start ,Found Sound

 Kia ora, For today's kick start we have been learning about making music out of weird and wonderful things like chippy packets, cups and random things you find everywhere. When I was thinking of some items I could use I just walked around my room to see if I could find something. I found a ruler, dartboard and darts, cup, pen and an old race car I don't use anymore. At first I didn't really know what to play but then I figured something out. Try to guess if you know what I played, even repeat the video if you need to.

I really enjoyed this task because I am a musician myself. I play the ukulele. So when I found this task I was very excited  and was busting to get into it. Though I found it challenging to get everything in the camera and found it hard to think of what to use for the video.  Again Comment if you Found out what song I was playing. Matewa.
