Patrick Strock. SLJ Task

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting my blog again. Finding natural items to use on a cartoon figure was my assignment for today. I did Patrick Star because my name is Patrick and I love the Spongebob Squarepants shows/movies. I made Patrick Star’s eyes out of little rocks I discovered in my garden. Here is my finaly product, I hope you like it.

 

Who is your favourite cartoon character?

My Mars Rover. SLJ Task.

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of creating my own mars rover. We had to create it by giving it a name and creating it using shapes. The name I gave my rover was Blizzard. My rover has some snazzy features such as the 3 stars and sun of the Filipino flag, the 2 cameras and the 2 satellites so that it is faster sending down info to earth.

Anyways here is my rover. Hope you like it! What would you name your rover?

 

 

 

 

My Artistic Vision with Music. SLJ Task.

Kia Ora everybody and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of painting or drawing music. The first thing I did was paint, I painted an iconic song called “Blue” by Eiffel 65. You may recognise it from these simple lyrics, “I’m blue da ba dee da ba die”. I used different types of blue I could find and blended it together. Later on it started to form a light blue colour that I really liked.

 

Here is my Blue by Eiffel 65 painting:

 

The next thing I did was draw. I drew a song called “Cold Island” created by the game My Singing Monsters. My Singing Monsters is a 2012 video game franchise developed by Big Blue Bubble and published by Canada Media Fund. The first game of the series was released on September 4, 2012 for Apple iOS.  In my drawing you may be able to spot the big snowflake, the big shadowy mammot (A Monster from My Singing Monsters) and the lonely guy sitting on a rock. The lonley guy sitting on a rock comes from the lyrics, “Nobody likes me, everyone’s afraid of me. It’s because I am weird”.

 

Here is my Cold Island by My Singing Monsters drawing (You may need to flip your screen over):

 

Well that is it from me today. What was your favourite piece of art? Mine was the Cold Island drawing! Goodbye and have a good day!

Pukeko in a Ponga tree. SLJ Task

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of filling in words. The task was to watch a video called “A Pukeko in a Ponga tree”. We then had to memorise the lyrics from the song and had to fill in the missing words from the doc.

 

Here is my doc:

 

I hope you liked it! What is your favourite parody of 12 days of Christmas? Goodbye and have a great day!

How are Rainbows formed? SLJ Task.

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of answering this question, “How are rainbows formed”. My task for this was to draw a diagram and explain how a rainbow is formed.

 

I am going to explain how rainbows are formed. Rainbows are formed when light from the sun is scattered by water droplets through a process called refraction. Refraction occurs when the light from the sun changes direction when passing through a medium denser than air, such as a raindrop.

 

Here is my diagram:

I hope you enjoyed my blog post! Do you know any interesting facts about Rainbows? Goodbye and have a great day!

An Iconic Michael Jordan Recreation with Silhouettes. SLJ Task.

Kia Ora everyone and welcome to my blog. Today I did the task of making silhouettes. My task was to make a silhouette of anyone in my family or myself. I chose to take a picture of myself because I had a good photo of mine. It was a photo of me recreating Michael Jordan’s iconic “Air Jordan” dunk. I traced the picture from my Chromebook, then I coloured in the picture in some black felt, after that I cut it out and taped it to a plain piece of paper. On that piece of paper I drew the Maniakalani Summer Learning Journey logo and wrte my activity.

 

Here is my silhouette. I hope you like it! What is your favourite to make a silhouette of?

Maths Escape Room. SLJ Task.

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of making a Maths escape room. Before we did this we had to try out another escape room, settled up by the wonderful Summer Learning Journey team.

I liked how they stuck to the Summer theme in theirs, so in my way I also decided to stick with the theme. My theme was the French National Football Team. When you clicked on an image with the link, that was 1 step of escaping. But there is a twist, you must answer the math equation on the slide to actually complete the step.

Anyways here is my escape room, I hope you enjoy it and escape it. Whilst doing my escape room, I suggest using a pencil/pen and a book/paper so that when you are stuck on a question, you have something to help you out. Calculators are optional.

Shape Poetry. SLJ Task

Kia Ora everyone and welcome back to my blog. Today I did the task of making poetry into shapes. I chose to do a diamante poem, since it is a poem I know.

A diamante poem is a poem where you compare 2 things, I did Sun and Moon. Your 2 things will be placed on the bottom of the diamond. Next, in the row above and under the topics, you have to add 3 words that describe them. For the Sun I did Radiant, Golden and for my moon I did Calm, Silvery. After that, in the row between the describing words. You have to add 4 nouns, 2 being about one of your topics and 2 being about the other.

Here is a layout of how it should be:
Noun
Adjective, Adjective
Verb, Verb, Verb
Noun, Noun, Noun, Noun
Verb, Verb, Verb
Adjective, Adjective
Noun.

Here is my diamante poem, I hope you like it! What 2 topics would you do? Goodbye!

My Cultural Celebration. SLJ Task.

“Viva pit Senyor!” is what you will hear on the streets of Cebu on January 15th 2023 because it is the celebration of Sinulog! Hi, I am Patrick and welcome to my blog. Today we talk about cultural celebrations. Every country has one, even Vatican City!

 

Lets start off with the island country Niue. Once every two years, the Niue Arts & Culture Festival is a week-long event celebrating all things Niuean! Typically happening around Easter, the festival features a range of cultural experiences, from cultural performances, art exhibitions, yam-blessing ceremonies, crafting sessions and much much more! How about we move south where I currently live, Aotearoa (New Zealand). Waitangi Day. Waitangi Day, the national day of New Zealand, marks the anniversary of the initial signing – on 6 February 1840 – of the Treaty of Waitangi, which is regarded as the founding document of the nation. The first Waitangi Day was not celebrated until 1934, and it was made a national public holiday in 1974.  Now lets move along to my cultural celebrations, the Philippines. In the Philippines we celebrate the Sinulog festival. The Sinulog-Santo Niño Festival is an annual cultural and religious festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City, and on the fourth Sunday of January in Carmen, Cebu, and is the centre of the Santo Niño Catholic celebrations in the Philippines.

 

For our create task, we had to create a digital poster about our own cultural celebrations. We had to include what activities we do, What we wear during these events, even some key words. Here is my poster, I hope you enjoy it. What do you celebrate in your culture?
