Summer Learning Journey - Ajaz Patel’s 10 wickets!!!

Cricket, Cricket And Cricket... I'm pretty sure most of you guys have heard of the word cricket before and maybe have seen cricket on TV, real life or heard someone talk about it before. If not you should definitely see it for yourself. I've watched cricket before and I absolutely LOVE it... Who's your favourite person that you like to watch play cricket? My favourite is MS Dhoni. I actually like to watch the 190s cricket because India had very good players but sadly they are retired now. Do you love cricket? What's your favourite sport? Today we were learning how to be an news anchor and find some interesting things that are happening this summer and share the news by being a news anchor and taking a video of ourselves and make it into a podcast. But today I just made a google slide about my summer news instead of taking a video of me being a news anchor. The interesting news that I wanted to share was about Ajaz Patel and how he became the third bowler in the history of men’s cricket to take all ten wickets in an innings. So for next time I should take a video of me being the news anchor. Comment down below what you liked about my slide. 

Summer Learning Journey - One Problem The Whole World Has To Deal With...

Do you know a problem the whole world has to deal with? Well I do... It's the weather. A lot of countries can't predict the weather like Tornado Alley, with cities in the line of states from South Dakota through Oklahoma and northern Texas ranking toward the top of the list. But A lot of other countries have good weather prediction like Greece, Malta, Uganda, Kenya, Spain, South Africa, Mexico and Portugal. But it isn't fair that other countries get right weather predictions and countries others don't. So think about this... Do you think it's fair that other countries get right weather prediction and other countries don't? Well it's time for a change... As you might be wondering about my intro you might be thinking it has something to do with the weather. Well if you thought of that you are right... Today We had to learn about how people used to work out weather in the past. Did you know that the south island is in a part of the world that has strong west winds? Here is a link to the book. Our create part was to make a weather Journal. I had a bit of help from my cat Sim-Sim. We could do this digitally or make it paper based. I wanted to make this digitally. Everything was really easy. I had a fantastic time creating this with my pet cat Sim-Sim. Check it out!!!

Our create part was to create a photo of us celebrating New Year it could be with our family, friends or pets. Here is the instructions to do this: Take a photo of yourself using your Chromebook. Use Remove.bg to remove background. Create Google Drawing. Find a New Year's image to use as a background: Insert - Image - Search the web or Pixabay. Insert the New Years background image and resize to fit your Drawing canvas. Insert the background - removed photo of yourself and layer on top of the background image. When ready to share download your image as a PNG (File - Download - PNG image) And that's how you make your very own New Year's image of you... Do you like my New Year's image of me?

Summer Learning Journey - World's Next Biggest POP Star Is Ready To Go In Action...

''Oh it looks like we have found the soon to be world's biggest pop star!'' And her name is SREELAKSHMI Yes that's right Sreelakshmi aka me is the next soon to be world's biggest pop star as soon as my song launches right about now when I post this blog post... Today we were learning about the weather and we were learning also how musicians use the weather as a metaphor to explain how they are feeling. For our create part... We had to be the musician and create a song using the weather as a metaphor. My song about the weather is a bit short. The chorus is when it say ''Oh Oh Oh it's a sunny day!'' I haven't added any music to it or a recording of me singing the song. I added Sim-Sim to the slides. I also didn't add metaphors but just rhyming words instead. So for next I will use metaphors, recording of my voice and add music. What do you like about my song?

Summer Learning Journey - Fingerprints Of A Thief Has Been Caught!!!

Who did it? Who took it? Who was there at the scene of the crime? If you were a cop what would you do? Lye down on a comfy couch watch cartoons and eat chips all day, Hang out and go on crazy adventures with you best Orangutan pal and investigate go bananas... Or play by your own rules as a loose cannon cop. If I was a cop I would always watch cartoons eat chips lye on a comfortable couch... Hang out with my best Orangutan pal go on crazy/mysterious adventures and go bananas... Also be a loose cannon cop who plays by my own rules. Today we had to look at our own fingerprints and learn about the different types of fingerprint patterns. Did you know that everyone has different types of fingerprints no matter if you are identical twins? There are the main three types of fingerprints they are called Loops, Whorls and Arches. People use fingerprints to solve crimes to know who did it. A fingerprint is a pattern left by the ridges that are on the insides of your finger. So now you know what fingerprints are... Our create part was to get something lying around the house that we could use to see our fingerprints. We could use Playdough, Blu-tack or Tape. I used Playdough... I got my fingerprint my dad's and my mum's. Me and my dad had both Loops. My mum had Whorls. It was very interesting to learn about fingerprints. I took photos not a screencastify. The photos are not very clear. So I think for next time I should use screencastify instead of taking photos. Well back to my Journey of being a loose cannon cop who plays by my own rules along with my Orangutan pal...

Meri Kirihimete Merry Christmas... It's that special time of year everyone enjoys and it's called Christmas. Do you love Christmas? Well I do... Another one of my secrets is about to be revealed... I've actually seen Santa's cat before... Today's activity today was to learn about The history of Christmas cards... Did you know that the first Christmas cards were sold in London in the year 1843? They were illustrated by an artist called John Callcott Horsley. Our create part was to make a Christmas card for our family members. So I thought of giving my cards to my parents. But sadly they were busy and had to go to work. So then I thought of giving my amazing followers my Christmas card... Even though I can't actually give it to you guys... I hope everyone has an safe/amazing Christmas, New Years and a fantastic Summer or Winter Holidays....

Summer Learning Journey - Kia Ora, Nǐn hǎo, Namaste, Gluten Tag, Bonjour, Malo lelei, Kia orana

What do you do on Saturday? Why do you think Saturday is called Saturday? Should we call Sunday Sunny day? Is Sunday called Sunday because it's a sunny day? Let's hold my weird wacky questions there for now. If you are new to my blog you need to know a very special/important secret about me which is that you will never forget my blog because I am basically the only person who has strange and unusual intros plus titles for each blog post that I do... But guys remember that being strange and unusual is COOL... It's what makes me be me. It's what makes you be you... We are all human beings... We are all unique and funny in our own ways and we have to appreciate for being who we are. Today's activity was to create a Poem about what we do on Saturdays... This was our learn part. We had to create our own version of our poem and to get some ideas we could see a poem created by Margaret Mahy. Our create part was to go on Minecraft Education to plan the Journey. Sadly I could not log onto Minecraft Education. So there were some other stuff to do like create it using paper and pen, lego or make a 3D version using the things you have around your house. My schedule was very busy today so I just thought of publishing the poem that I created instead. I hope you enjoy it!

 Good morning, sun

Good morning, little winds that run!

 Good morning, sky

Good morning, birds 

Good morning trees

And creeping grass, and brownie bees!

How did you find out it was day? 

Who told you night had gone away?

I’m wide awake

I’m up now, too

I’ll be right out to play with you!
