Groove Pizza – Summer Learning Journey

 

Our kick start was to make a music and Groove Pizza is a website to create music. I used techno and drumset provided in Groove Pizza. The beat uses drums and cymbals. This beat reminds of the summer.

I enjoyed this activity because I created music that helps me think of the summer.

Comic Strips – Summer Learning Journey

For the Summer Learning Journey I, aswell as KB created a comic strip using not only the provided character templates but also our imagination. The comic shows the moral of honesty, as later on in the comic the woman was honest and gave the ball back to the man.

The story takes place at a beach when 2 young men decided to play vollyball, one of the men spiked the ball and accidently smashed into someones sandcastle. To their relief the sandcastle didn’t belong to anyone, the ball then caught the attention of a seagull and flew off with the ball. The seagull lost grip and lost the ball in the hands of a young lady, she was walking with the ball in her hand and the 2 young men  found her with the ball. They ask if its their ball and she looks at the ball to find a name: James (The name of the young man)

We found this activity fun because we used our creativity.

Cultrual Superhero – Summer Learning Journey

Our challenge was to create a superhero that about our cultrual. My superhero was called Captain Ninja and he is based around Fijian and indian person. My superhero has powers like super strength, flight and can shapeshift to anyone they look at. He rides a bulletcycle and he lives Fiji and the challenges he face was a yellow stone and he use gadgets like smoke bomb, taser gun and boomerang. His sidekick Lazerguy.

The activity was fun because I created superhero that was based around my cultraual.

 

Explanation Writing

LI: To understand the structure and language features in an explanation

How did Goldilocks upset the bear family?

To upset someone it’s to make them disappointed, worried, or unhappy. In the fairytale Goldilocks and the three bears. She makes unwise decisions. Have you ever broken into someone’s house? 

Goldilocks found a cottage and entered into private property without permission from owners. Goldilocks was disrespectful and has no self morals which is shown when  she ate the bear family’s porridge. She sat on the baby chair in addition she ended up breaking the chair leaving it in pieces.

When the bears got home, they were shocked to find their porridge eaten and  the baby chair was broken. Imagine how upset you would feel getting home to find someone had broken into your house!

To help us understand how to write an explanation we looked at the purpose, the structure (what it looks like) and the language features. An explanation tells us how or why something is the way it is. To help us understand this we learnt about cause and effect. Cause and effect is an action and a reaction. We used the story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears to help us understand this. Here is our explanation that describes how Goldilocks upset the Bear family.

This activity was good because I learnt a lot about explanations and the story Goldilocks and the three Bears.

Commenting

I learned about commenting.

First I watch the video called science alive.

Then I look down the comments and there are nine comments.

Last I wrote down my comments and I say Hi my name is Aarush and I’m from Panmmure Bridge and LS1 too. I liked that you showed the blower blowing the toilet paper. That was funny. I learned about hovercrafts. I’d love to see more next time. What would you invent if you could invent any machine?

I enjoyed because I like doing commenting . I did well at commenting. I need to improve on writing more comments.
