Tag: Summer Learning Journey

The summer learning journey step it up activity! This activity tasked my classmates and I to make a animation, drawing etc of a manu I watched a video on how to do a manu. First you knee down on what what ever platform you are on, Then you stand up straight but also leaning forward and dont jump, After that you want to tuck into a V shape with your body and when you hit the water tight tuck, Then push back.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to do a manu because of these videos, I think I did well in making the animation. I think I did well at making the splash. I need to improve on more detail.

For this kick start activity we are tasked of making a google drawing with curves making it seem like a manu splash. First I watched videos of how to make my manu splash: I first searched the sea once I had the image I inserted the picture, Then I inserted shapes and curved them to make it look like a manu splash! I also used the fill tool to colour in the curved shaped splashes.

I enjoyed making this because I learnt how to make custom manu splashes in a Google Drawing. I think I need to improve on using more details, I think I did good at making the little drops when the splash is coming down.

For this task I was challenged to create a presentation about sea turtles: How are Sea Turtles becoming endangered?, Why does it matter? and What can we do about it. 

For this activity we were challenged to make an “I am Poem” we created our own poem of a sea creature. This activity was realy fun to do because I could think of some things ot put in to my poem and the first time writing a poem of a sea creature. I used Word Hippo to find words that sound better and are used more then the regular words I say.

I chose an alligator, Writing: I am Feared. I hear the ocean. I see humans. I want to eat anything in my way. I am the terror of the sea. I feel no one can conquer me I wrestle with the water aggressively. I cry when i am injured. I am the monster of the seas. I say and roar as i am attacked. I dream that i am the strongest creature. I hope that i will be fed eating off fish. I am the ferocious alligator. 

This activity we had to draw a Japanese Pufferfish, Facts about the Japanese Pufferfish that I found out is that There are about 350 types of puffer fish around the world, and about 35 types of fugu in the seas around Japan. Many types of are highly poisonous. For this task I found a Japanese Pufferfish that I could get inspiration to draw from. I enjoyed this task because this was my first time drawing a Japanese Pufferfish.

For this task we created our own sea creature using a template on a google draw. I created a digital Dory from finding Dory on my cartoon colectables card. The thing I found fun in this task was that I was able to create a fish and to share my skills of drawing!. I enjoyed this task because I could actually create something I enjoyed making.

For this task we learnt about the art of paper folding that was popularized in Japan, but the origin of origami happened earlier in China. Origami came to Japan thanks to Buddhist monks, Folding 1,000 paper cranes is believed to fulfill wishes, Origami societies abound all over the world. I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to make a harder origami fish.

For this task I made a warning poster putting safety tips when your in the water e.g: Safety tip: Always check your surroundings when swimming as they’re might be sharks headed your way, Stay away if you can hear rapid swimming towards you quickly swim/run out of the water. I enjoyed making this poster and giving safety tips when in the water.

We were tasked of watching a simple tutorial on how to make a origami fish, I used a brown piece of paper and a vivid for my face. Fun fact: In the Middle Ages, samurai gave origami as gifts, symbolizing good luck. My favourite part of this task was making the face and folding the paper, I enjoyed this task because I made my first origami.
