I completed a kick start activity from the summer learning journey.
The activity was to create a story using emojis as well as creating a rebus puzzel with it. To make the rebus puzzel I decided to write out my story with google docs. When I finished writing it out I used the emoji tool to help me transform some of the words to emojis if they having in emoji version. The part I found difficult for me is that I had to find the correct emojis for the word I wanted to transform even if some words don’t have the emoji version for it.
I found this activity inspiring because I could create a story with my imagination as well as showcasing some parts of my story with the emojis.
Tēnā koe Bethany,
I love these rebus activities as I find the rebus riddles so fun, this term we did a rebus riddle every morning before roll call as a daily riddle! This activity is even better as it uses both rebus riddles and literacy skills as you write your story.
I think your story was very cool. I love a classic summer story featuring the hot sun and cold ocean waves. You did an awesome job selecting emojis that clearly translate to the word they mean. A cool step up may be challenging yourself to use two emojis to make one word.
I see that you went to Niue, is that where your family is from or did you go on a holiday?
I would like to know what emojis you would use to write your name??
It is great to see you participating in the summer learning journey again this year and I look forward to seeing more of your awesome posts, keep up the great work!
