SLJ (W6/A53): Step it up Whānau Tent Time

 LI: To create a programme for you and your family to enjoy time.

The above poster is the ninth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to create a programme that we enjoyed this evening. I used canva to create the poster that had all the schedules which basically was the events happening in the party. I included the main points like the starting time, watching movies, eating snacks, listening to songs and watching the sunset. As I was the creator of the event I also made some snacks that we could enjoy. I loved completing this task because my family and I had a great time and the best part was that I was the organiser. I enjoyed completing all the Summer Learning Journey Tasks and came to learn many new things from each activity. 

SLJ (W6/A53): Kick Start Whānau Tent Time

 LI: To create a fort either inside or outside your house.

The above picture is the ninth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity we were challenged to create a fort either inside or outside the house. I then started watching some video tutorials and I noted down the ideas. I decided to make the fort inside as it was quite windy outside. I then gathered all the materials that would be required, like cushions, blankets, chairs and bed sheets. Me and brother worked together as he was very excited and then we kept the chairs in a formation to hold the blankets. Later we added blankets at the top and at the bottom as well as some cushions on the side. Once it was ready and me and my brother sat under it and noticed that it looked so real as the the blankets were like the carpets and roof, chairs as the pillars and the cushions as pillows. I loved completing this task and am happy that our hard work paid off. I am excited to do the second part of this activity.

SLJ (W6/A52): Step it up Summer Picnic

 LI: To design a menu for your picnic using canva. 

The above poster is the eighth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to create a menu that we would be taking for picnic. This is the same menu that I took for picnic last week and my favourite combo was grilled tofu with soft drinks. All the food tasted amazing and as I am talking about it I have started to feel hungry. For making this menu I used canva which was very helpful as I could take ideas from various layouts and create one as my own design. While I was adding the information I made sure that I do classification in the dished like drinks and meals as well as add minor stuff like the timing. I enjoyed completing this task as I was recalling all the fun I did at my picnics. I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks as well. 

SLJ (W6/A52): Kick Start Summer Picnic

 LI: To pack a picnic basket, bag or box with food for my picnic.

The above picture is the eighth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity we were asked to create a picnic basket and add a picture of it on our blogs. As we did not have any plans for this weekend I decided to add a picture from the past that I clicked when we were going to the beach. I think when I go outside, the thing I enjoy doing the most is having the food we brought from home. I somehow find it better than the restaurants and always insist my mother to bring stuff like homemade sandwiches and burgers instead. I loved completing this task because I got a chance to share my experience with my reader. I am looking forward to do the second part of this activity as well. 

SLJ (W6/A51): Step it up That was Summer

 LI: To create a screencastify in which you narrate your poem.

The above screencastify is the seventh task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to narrate our "that was summer poem". I first started by adding labelled for reuse pictures on a google presentation and created its layout. Then I copied and pasted the lines of my poem. The thing I liked the most about this activity was that the poem came to life as adding the pictures helped the readers create a picture in their mind. Once, I completed the poem I practiced saying the lines a couple of times and then recorded the screencastify. I loved completing this activity and I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks as well.

SLJ (W6/A51): Kick Start That was Summer

 LI: To create our own poem that represents summer.

The above design is the seventh task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Kick Start activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create our "that was summer poem". I started by brainstorming words that came in my mind and I thought could be used in poem. I think this was the best strategy I could have ever used because I could also find rhyming words making my poem more attractive. Finally, once my poem was completed I added a picture in the background and I made sure that I gave credits to the creator as well. I loved completing this task because I improved my poetry skills and I am looking forward to do the other part of this activity as well. 

SLJ (W6/A50): Step it up Gliding Time

 LI: To create a screencastify and share my experience while making the design.

The above screencastify is the sixth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity we were challenged to share our experience of making the origami glider. I started by watching some video tutorials on youtube and finally made it. Me and my brother were so excited to see how it will work that I forgot to click a picture and went in the front lawn to test it. That's when it got stuck in the tree and I had to make the glider again. But this time I made sure that I clicked the picture. The glider was really amazing as it stayed in the air for a long time and also had a smooth landing as compared to other origami airplanes. I loved completing this task as I improved my art skills and also got a chance to learn new techniques. I am looking forward to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks as well.
