Grooving Greatness with Groove Pizza! SLJ Task – Groove Pizza Kick start

Kia Ora and welcome to Patrick’s Summer Learning Journey, with the Summer Learning Journey. Today I did a task where we had to make a beat on Groove Pizza. Groove Pizza is a playful tool for creating grooves using math concepts like shapes, angles, and patterns. I found doing this very cool because I could make the beat in the form of a pizza by clicking the dots. Since this is music, what is your favorite song or favorite music artist? Mine is Ghost Town by Kanye West.

Watershot vs Lapulapu II! SLJ Task – Superhero Step it Up

Kia Ora and welcome back to part two of the superheroes task of the Summer Learning Journey teaser tasks. Today we had to make a villan to go with the superhero and make a comic about it.

The villan I have created is named Watershot. Watershot is a villain trying to get “revenge” on lapulapu the second because he thought that he was the cause of the bombings from ww2 was all his plans. Due to the bombings, he got into some trouble with some nuclear waste and turned him into a sea creature and he haunts the seas of japan and the philippines.

The comic I made is just a short three squared comic that is quick to read. I also made a character profile for Watershit like what I did with Lapulapu. Here is my comics & profile.

The Great Lapulapu the Second. SLJ Kick Start

Welcome to the first Summer Learning Journey post from your favourite Patrick (That’s me if you are new). For the first task, we had to make a superhero and add some info on him like where he is from, his abilities, their costume etc. We had to option to do it on either Craiyon, Google Drawing or Kleki. I used Craiyon which is AI that generates any image with the words you type in it. I chose this because I wanted to try out something new instead of boring Google Draw. My superhero, Lapulapu the second is a Philippine based superhero who is  mostlyconnected with the jungle. He has many weapons made by him when he was abandoned as a child like a wooden sniper rifle with ammo made with wood, and a self-made spear. Here is my create. Who is your favourite superhero?

 

The Epic Pattyland

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my PBL Create about Earth Systems. The Earth Systems we have learnt about was Rocks, Water, Air, Soil, and Biodiversity. For our create we had to make a island, landmass or continent using either Minecraft, make a paper mache, make a map and there were way more options. Once we finished we had to make a blurb to go along with the create.

I have created my landmass using Minecraft. In my landmass, I have a jungle, spruce forest, an oak tree forest, rivers, lakes, oceans, beaches and plains. In my island, I have many life forms like bees which is needed for honey, I have rabbits which foxes will eat, I also added some Camels in the beach, some sea turtles, some Pandas, Sheep, Goats, Llamas and some Chickens which can mostly be found in the plains.

Here is my blurb which also has some screenshots of my landmass. The link to the blurb is here in case it is blurry to read.
