Picnic - Step it up

 I have chosen Blueberry muffins because I just had them on my picnic and they were so good.

Glider step it up

I think that my glider didn't fly to far bcause the wings were to big.

Step it up

 I am going to do my maths so that each square is 1 centimetre by 1 centimetre. This art is 11 by 11 so the area of the whole art work is 121cm2.

The green rectangle at the top left has 3 squares so the fraction of that is 3/121. The area is just 3cm2.

The blue rectangle beside the green has a fraction of 2/121. The area is 2cm2.

The fraction of the orange square is 9/121. The area is 9cm2.

Moving on to the red square the area is 36cm2 and the fraction is 36/121.

The yellow square's area is 4cm2 and the fraction is 4/121.

The last shape the pink rectangles area is 4cm2 and the fraction is 4/121.

Trigger fish with human teeth?

 For this activity we had to read  this article and decide weather or not it was a true article. I did have a few reasons against it but ended up pick for it.

Step it up

Here is the link to my google earth map

So for this activity we had to make a google earth map which I haven't done before. I have made google my maps in the past though.

Step it up Summer sound

 For the step it up we had to write another song but change the settings. I changed the octaves and things like that. For the octave it was originally one octave but I changed it too 3. After righting sun on this I tried to make the music Mary had a little lamb.

Symmetry Step it up

 

I have made symmetrical art. I used some felts that I found in my pencil case. I decided to make a butterfly.

Step it up

 I got inspired because this is what summer is for me there are those beautiful flowers, the heat, the sunburn, the ice cream and the fruit.

Step it up-float a boat

 

So I put both boats in the water at the same time. They were both holding 5 stones when the square based boat sank.  A short time later the canoe sank.

Step it up

 

I found this activity a bit difficult. I had never been on scratch before and it was all so new to me. I know mine is not that good but I am happy because I had never done this before. Please start by pressing the green flag then press space. After that press right arrow.

String fun

 

Today I made the cup and saucer with string. 2 years ago this was very popular and everybody was carrying around a piece of string. I haven't done this for a while so I had a quick look at the video for a refresher. I thought this was a fun activity.

UV indicator and protection

 

I am very sorry I am so late on this post. It is because when this activity was due it was my dads birthday and then yesterday I didn't get round to do the SLJ.  

For this activity I learnt a lot about UV lights and sun protection and sun cream. My favourite part of this activity was probably designing the indicator. 

I also did the step it up which is below.

Its cool to be kind

 

I found this activity easy. I went onto the last comment that was posted on my blog which was on December the 20th. I then replied and that was a SLJ activity complete. For the step it up we had to fill out a form and put the link to the comment in. I also did that.

Building a dam step it up

 

My jingle bells (singing edition) & the difference between northern and southern hemisphere at Christmas time.

 

The difference between the northern and southern hemisphere

The biggest difference between the northern and southern hemisphere at Christmas time is the weather. In the northern hemisphere it is winter while in the southern it is summer. This results in people in the northern hemisphere to more likely to go to bed early and in the southern hemisphere to stay up later. Another difference that people are seeing more of is that in the southern hemisphere people are using fake Christmas trees while in the northern they are still using real ones. Due to the different seasons even the presents can be different. In the southern hemisphere because it is summertime you are more likely to get something for the outside like a cricket set. In the northern hemisphere you probably aren't going to get that because of the wet weather and the snow and you don't really play cricket in those conditions.

For the SLJ we had to make a video of us saying some of the greetings we learnt. From the slide below.

Step it up Kowhiawhia

 

For this activity we did the same as the last activity just we stepped it up. This time
