Kowhaiwhai pattern

 This week for the summer learning journey we created a kowhwhai pattern poster using a google draw. 

First we had to rotate the koru and make a copy of another one.

After we did that we had to make a background
colour that represents summer

Scavenger hunt

 This week for the Summer learning journey I tried out an experiment and it was quite fun because we did a scavenger hunt on this activity.

First we made a screen castify showing the items.

Next we took a picture of the items using webcam.

Last we made a google slide and put the image and screen castify on it.

Art colouring

This morning we tried one of this year’s Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolour famous painting or images of landmarks around the world. I really enjoyed this task because we were able to experiment with these different colours, and we could do it digitally. The art I remade was created by Louis Mailou Jones, and the art is called Moon Masque. It is currently held in Smithsonian Art American Museum.

Faulty reasoning

This week for reading we learned about faulty reasoning. Illogical /simplified/Assumption, Circular Reasoning, Over-generalization, Biased Argument and Contradiction.

Illogical /simplified/Assumption is Providing evidence that does not directly support the claim.

Circular Reasoning is supporting a claim with the same claim.

Over-generalization is making a global statement when there are likely exceptions.

Biased Argument is making a claim that is influenced by your own personal feelings or experience.

Contradiction is providing evidence that goes against the original argument.

Tuoch

 This week I played a game of touch for kiwi sport.

First I started off with playing a passing drill. Passing drill is passing the ball in 4 groups. The first group passes to the next groups and keeps passing until the ball gets to the fourth group.  Then fourth person passes the ball to the people in front of them.

Last I played a game of touch and the skills that my team and I used was two and three man settle.

I enjoyed playing touch because the passing drill tough me tought me how to catch in the game of touch.  

Fractions

 Fractions are whole things divided into equal pieces.

A fraction of a set is a whole group divided equally into smaller groups. For example: A quarter of twelve is 3 (12 ÷ 4 = 3). twelve divided into quarters leaves 3 objects per group.

A fractions has two secese wich is numerator and denominator. The numerator is the above fraction that shows many pieces. The denominator is the below fraction.

QAR

This week for reading we did a QAR task on a book called: Change our school uniforms 

First we answered the questions and put them into the right box. There were 4 boxes to put the answers into wich was right there, think and search, on my own and author and me.

Right there is that the answer can be found in the text.

Think and search is that the answer is in the text but you may have to look in different places.

On my own is that the answer is not in the text but you could even come up with an answer if you didn't read the text.

And author and me is that the answer is not in the text but you have to use background knowledge and what the author has told you to come up with the answer.

I found this task very hard because question 3 took me long to find the answer in a different place.

LI: to identify the main ideas in a text.
