SLJ – Colour Block Landscape

I completed a kick start activity from the summer learning journey.

The activity was to design my own landscape.

To start of I decided to look a the photos provided to ideas.  Using my imagination I created a landscape with mountains, forest, and a lake. The lines that I used to create this image is curve and polyline. Using gradient colours I made the backround into a black to gray colour with the grass going from light green to dark green. Inspired by the pine forest I have seen I decided to design a pine forest for the campers to camp at. left with the little space I created a train track for visitors to visit. Withe the rest of the space I filled it up with a big lake.

I found this activity fun because I could create a landscape using different types of technique with art.

SLJ – Under the sea

I completed a kick start activity from the summer learning journey.

The activity was to design a seabed floor with sea creatures I would like to see under water.

To start of with the design I decided to use the pictures provided. I started to find the right space to add a dolphin. With the other images provided I wanted to made 2 pairs of family. WIth the leftover space I decided to make my own custom orca known as a killer whale. A fact I know about the killer whale is that they hunt in packs and is able to kill the greatest great white shark. With the little leftover space I added a jelly fish from the provided images.

I found this activity fun because I could create a sea bed with many different creatures using my imagination.

Rebus Puzzel – Step it up

I completed a step it up activity from the summer learning journey.

The second activity for the rebus quiz was to find a word and use an emoji to find the word out.

To make the rebus puzzel I decided to find a word to use. I created two puzzels for the readers to solve. To solve it you have to find out the word for the emoji. then next to it it with say minus and a letter. You will have to find the word and take away the letter they tell you to do take away. Eg: the word is Summer. The puzzel will look like this – ☀️-n 🧑‍💼-an 🧜-man. The first emoji is a sun with a minus n. The word will start with su. Then the next word is man with a – an. The word becomes sum. the last clue is a merman – man. Add it together and the word becomes Summer.

I found this activity enjoyable because I could create a puzzel testing my word knowledge.

Rubus Puzzel – Kick Start

 

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.

Contrasted Bookmark

LI: Creating contrast with warm and cool colours.

LI: Creating contrast with different lines and shapes.

I completed a kick start activity from the summer learning journey.

The activity was to create a warm and cool colour contrasting bookmark or Contrast with different lines. To make the book mark I decided to use warm and cool colour contrast. With it we had to find out a word to and on the bookmark and I chose family. The technique I use was to do it on google draw and using gradient to mix the warm and cool colours.  I used colour with a little bit of transparent shades to make the colours fit together. A reason why I chose the word family is because my family is there for me whenever I need them even during the sad and happy times.

I found this activity interesting as I could inspire myself with the warm and cool colours together including coming up with a word special to me.

Comic Strip

As pair we completed a kick start activity from the summer learning journey.

The activity was to create a comic in a summer day at the beach. Our comic was about 2 friends on a trip to the beach. A character named Siniva picked up a random ball not knowing what to do until she got the idea to play volleyball. She asked her friend Bethany to play and gladly accepted. On the first round Bethany jumped to hit the ball but missed. She became devastated and wanted a rematch. On the second round the game was going good until Siniva hit the ball hard hitting Bethany in the face laying on the floor. With no chance of beating Siniva she gladly offered to have ice cream with her. Siniva accepts the offer knowing that she doesn’t want to play.

This activity the comic strip was interesting as we came up ways to use our imagination and creativity.

Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find the story behind this picture

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that shows where this lighthouse is and what the story is behind the image. We found out that the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse in Frace near Brittany coast. What happened was that the ower of the lighthouse Theodore was in his lighthouse when the waves started crashing into the lighthouse. He saw the helecopter circleing around the lighthouse in fear he rushes into the lighthouse saving himself.

I found this activity interesting because I was interesting in what might of happened to the person.

Inchcape Rock

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem

 

No sound of the wind nor any movement of  waves. The sound of the bell didn’t move through the water. Abbot Abrothok placed the bell to warn danger to sailors. When the sailors heard the bell they praised Abbot Abrothok. It was a bright and joyful day with overjoyed birds. Sir Ralph walked on his deck spotting the Inchcape bell. Sir Ralph was happy, he sang and whistles with joy. He looked at the buoy and put his boat down. The ship lowered as Sir sliced the inchcape bells rope. The bell sank into the depths of the deep sea. Sir Ralph the rover then sailed away to Scotland shore. The sky was the and the winds hath died away. The dawn has arrived and there is no sudden sunlight. There’s no sound of the inchcape bell in the sea. They hear siglent waves and crashes into the inchcape rock. He curse to himself as the waves crashed around the boat. He knows that he would go beneath the deep sea.

Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was where Sir Ralph sailed in the dark because I was interested in what might happen next.

I found this activity interesting because each verse of the poem gives me a riddle to solve that is happening in the verse.

 

What happened down the stairs?

LI: To understand the 5 senses can be used to strengthen a description

Our challenge was to co construct a text using the olfactory, auditory, gustatorial, visual and kinethetic senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. This time we were able to speak and sat facing our partners. 

Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense and had met the language feature challenge.

I found this activity interesting because I described how life could be like a shoe
