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.

Kick Start Magic Math

Mornea, Today I am posting on another kick start. This kick start is on Magic Math. So for this task we had to make a copy of a slide template that had three math questions on where all of them would land on a certain number 5,6 or 10. I got my mum to do all of them and she did them really fast. We both had our minds blown once we figured out all of the answers would be the 5,6 or ten.

This task actually taught me how to divide by sign on my keyboard .I really enjoyed this activity because I got to see how fast my mum could work out math problems and got to learn new things. Though what I found challenging was having to type all my mums working. Please comment if you are surprised two about this activity and what you like more  math or magic?

Kick Start

Today I started my second summer learning project. My task that I chose was How to make a forced perspective image. This part of the project its called the kick start. It is the simpler  side of the task but there is another side of the task where you have to make a video using wevideo, Screencastify, Ect to explain how you made the images. Before we took the images we watched a video to get a better understanding of it. So From that video I learnt that with making the images it is all about making something that's small big or something that's big small. 

I really enjoyed this activity because I love taking photos And I do It all the time with my nanna. But I also found it challenging to get my objects in piston because I had know one to help me. So I just ended up getting shoes and pillows to stabilise them. And shout out to Mum who also help me!

Step It Up

 This post is the second part on my activity which is the step it up task. The step it up task Is more challenging then the first one I did which was the christmas decoration. For this new and Very challenging task we had to choose a hero/Idle I chose sky brown. I chose sky because she is one of the best kid skaters in the whole world. And have won a bronze medal for team Britain. But she's not just my idol because of that. I chose her because she is a brave,Kind, Inspiring person and she tries to get more girls to skate. Which has also made me wanna skateboard to which I do now.

Now onto what we did in the activity. First we had to polyline our hero then find an inspiring quote that our hero has made Then of course post it to our blog. This task got very hard when it got to the eyes because I just could not get the shape right and the nose was also very challenging but it still looks great And I am very proud and that's all that matters.

Kick Start

 Today I have been working hard on my Summer learning journey task. We were learning about the difference between vector art and Raster art. Firstly  Raster art are pictures made up of tiny little pixels/Squares that you can't see until you zoom in. But when you zoom in the quality of the picture gets lower. But Vecture art is not made of tiny pixels and when you zoom in everything stays the same and it all looks better. After we watched the video for our kick start activity we had to make a christmas decoration or if you don't celebrate christmas then make a decoration for you house. In the decorations we Had to put something like how your family is unique Ect. 

I had a difficult time thinking of what to put on mine but after a while I finally came up with the idea of putting a stag in a circle ball becuase my family are outside a lot so It resembles nature and christmas. And If you would like to please comment on what sort of christmas or house decoration you would make. Matewa
