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

Picnic kick start

 It was far to wet and rainy to have a picnic so I decided to have mine indoors. My first step was to make some food for the picnic. I made some banana and blueberry muffins. Next I packed the bag, got the picnic blanket and some cushions. Next set them out and had the picnic. Below are some photos.

Pixel art

Kick start 

For this activity we had to make a pixel based on summer when I think of summer I thought of the beach but I didn't know how I would pixel that so  decided to do flowers.

This is a pixel art I did using This site. 

This is the kick start there are also 2 stepping up activities.

Stepping up 1

As a summer theme I decided to do an apple tree going from no apples to lots of apples. This is because in the summer you start to get apples.

Stepping up 2

This is the third layer of my animation. For this animation I decorated and undecorated the Christmas tree.

I also have to right three facts I learnt about pixel.

1) There are stamps

2) There are different layers

3) On different sites you can do different things.

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.

Mondrian art kick start

Today I learnt how to do Mondrian art. I thought choosing which cells to merge and which cells to colour was fun. I didn't find this activity too challenging.

The sound of Summer

And then I did the Step it up where you had to create a survey to find out about peoples top songs to celebrate summer. Below is mine.

Summer vacation ~ New Zealand

For this SLJ activity we read Summer Vacation and because there is no New Zealand page on there our task was to create a page for NZ.

I enjoyed learning about summer in other countries.

For the step it up we had to make a video of me reading my page on New Zealand Summer.

We also had to make a jam board. That will be below the video.

Clever compass

For this activity we could chose weather to design a camping gadget or hack.
