Super Sidewalk Chalk Art 🛣️

 Hello Bloggers,

Today I did another enquiry matrix activity, this time I did one about showing the bad stuff in the ocean. I put in jellyfish, dead coral, microplastics, fish, dead fish, nets, rubbish, glass bottles. If you look at the image below:

         See those yellow, pink and green dashes they are meant to be microplastics, the cage thing in the middle is a net with two fish, the things at the bottom are rocks, piles of rubbish and dead coral, in the top left-hand corner there's a green fish now look under that and you'll see a jellyfish, now look at the top right-hand corner you'll find the rubbish bags beside them is a starfish now look at the net in the middle again and you'll see a yellow fish with pink around it the pink is meant to be blood (I had no red), and there is a diaper looking thing under the net which is meant to be a plastic bag.

Brilliant Bedmas🛌🏽

 Hello Bloggers. 

Yesterday I made a video to explain Bedmass, Bedmass stands for Brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. There is the order of bedmass, that's right that's the order that you will do it in. If you have 3 addition left then you do left to right, that's the same with all of it. If you have Brackets inside brackets then you do the brackets in the brackets first. If you have a number right next to another number or there's a bracket between two numbers you times it by each other.  Here is my video:

   Did you find it funny? Did you understand it? Tell me in the comments. Now if read all the text and listen to all the video then your know I did something wrong, tell me if you found it.

Polluted Art😮

Hello Bloggers,

    Today, I finished my artwork about pollution. To do it you draw all the bad things you can find in the ocean on one side and all the good things you can find in the ocean on the other side. Then you colour them with colouring pencils. Then fold the paper like you see in the photo under this text. 

    I really enjoyed doing this because it made me think about all the trash and bad things you can find in the ocean.

    Have you ever thought about the good and bad things in the ocean? Tell me in the comments.

 The Matariki and the Pleiades star cluster, have many stories attached to them. We looked at two of them, one about how Ranginui and papatuanuku were separated by Tane Mahuta, and how Tawwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts into the sky

My kite is Tawhirimatea with koru's around him as wind.

Magical Matariki art

 Hello Bloggers,

Today I finished my Matariki art for Matariki, which is a print, we put it on foam which we had to be careful not to put big indents. If you don't know what Matariki is then here's a quick explanation, Matariki is the start of the Maori new year. on the foam, I drew Mt cook on the bottom and the Matariki stars up at the top, with swirls around them as you can see. when we draw on the foam you have to make sure that you use a biro pen and push down slightly so it digs in just enough so when you put on the ink the lines are white like mine. Make sure that when you draw on your mountain and stars you do it opposite because when you do the print it acts as a mirror so if you mirror it when you draw it, it will be fine. 

Here you will found step by step on how to make it.

Step 1: Grab some draft paper.

Step 2: Draw your stars, swirls and mountains. (make sure you mirror it!) 

Step 3: Grab your foam.

Step 4: Cope what you have on your draft paper and put it on your foam. (make sure you do it in biro pen)

Step 5: Put lots of sellotape (in a rectangular shape) on a table.

Step 6: Put some ink on the sellotape.

Step 7: Then grab a roller.

Step 8: Start rolling the roller back and forth in the ink.

Step 9: Roll the ink onto your foam. (you can do different colours if you want)

Step 10: Then put some A3 paper on top of your foam.

Step 11: Grab a roller that doesn't have any Ink on it.

Step 12: Roll the roller on the A3 paper, for like 7 sec.

Step 13: Take the A3 paper off the foam and you're done!

Step 14: you can rinse off your foam and put some different colours on it.

Amazing Adaptation

 Hello Bloggers, during literacy we learned about what adaptation is, the different types of adaptation and what it does to animals. the three types of adaptation are Behavioural, Structural and Physiological. A quick summary of adaptation: adaptation is where an animal or person changes to suit their environment, but it takes 100 and 1000 years to happen

Do you know of an animal that's gone through adaptation? tell me in the comments.

Horrible Holocaust

 Hello Bloggers, for Literacy I have been learning about the Holocaust and concentration camps, and I have made a site about it.  I have made connections to Once by Morris Gleitzman, and the world. I had to use the past tense. I used some technical words. Because of the Holocaust, we had world war ll. 

Do you have an interest in history? I have made Why What, Where Who and How questions. For example, my Where question is Where were all the concentration camps located. Here is the Link to my website

The Yanny and Laurel illusion

 Today I was learning about the Yanny and Laurel illusion. Something I  learned is it's just the same word repeated with different frequency. What do you hear? Tell me in the comments. 

Heres my writing about it: 

The Yanny and Laurel illusion

  It is a sound illusion that has been messed with. Some people hear Laurel and some hear Yanny. And I am about to tell you why.

Most people hear Yanny this is because the original recording is of Laurel and different people hear different frequency, sound and volume. but to simplify this the sound of the recording saying Laurel was changed to a higher volume which is causing most people to hear Yanny.

If you wear special headphones and hear it through another device or change the volume you are Most Likely to hear Laurel, Because that can change the frequency. But if it is your first time with nothing that could possibly change the sound with you would be most likely to hear Laurel. 

Also, You are likely to hear yanny if you listen to higher music or you're younger but you are more likely to hear Laurel if you are older and you like lower music. But some people can hear both and some people's ears can't decide.

So are you a Yanny or Laurel I personally hear both?

Challenging comic

 

 In this comic these friends are at a disco together then some random girls come over and stand in front of one of the friends, then the random girls grab the friend who was talking to them, then I had to draw in what I thought happend next which was that the friend broke out of one of the random girls grip.   

In this comic these boys went to the public basketball court after school, then some bully's walk in and pushed over one of the boys and took his basketball. Then I had to draw what I thought would happen next I drew that the boy who didn't get pushed over punch the bully who push his friend over in the face. 

Hello Bloggers in this activity I had to draw what I  thought would happend next from looking at the comics already done. Two things I think I can improve next time, one take more time in taking the photo because its all blurry, two try and make the characters I drew more like the ones already there.
