Optical Illusion | Summer Learning Journey

For the Summer Learning Journey day 3 activity 3, we researched and learnt about optical illusions in order to make our own.

First, I observed the available shapes and created my own optical illusion using only the outlines of circles. I named this optical illusion 'Viral Tunnel' because the shapes form a tunnel.

People will see a tunnel because of the way that the circles are placed. One circle can seem like an opening and another circle can seem like an exit.

I enjoyed doing this the most out of all the other activitys.

Kowhaiwhai Pattern | Summer Learning Journey

For the Summer Learning Task today I made a Kowhaiwhai Pattern.

First, we watched a video performed by a kapa haka group, then after that I watched a small video trying to find the wiriwiri in the background or anywhere else in there

Then, I made a copy of a Kowhaiwhai template then placed and decorated them the way I could.  After, I decorated the background to make it look like some summer colours 

This activity was really fun because I got to play around with the designs to the way I would like it

Scavenger Hunt | Summer Learning Journey

This week for Summer Learning Journey we watched this scavenger hunt which Nano Girl made. 

Later on in the video we saw all the objects that we were supposed to find around the class, the objects that we found were: Egg carton, soda can, scissors, foil, ruler, string, and paper.

Some of the objects were quite hard to find with everybody running around and bumping into each other.  But it was fun at the same time.

QAR Questions | Reading

This week I did a QAR on a book title called " Graffiti Art or Crime"

A QAR is a strategy that is used after the reader has read the book.  QAR teaches the reader how to learn what types of questions they are being asked and where to find the answer to them

After I read the book I answered 10 questions and wrote what the answer is in the labelled boxes.  The boxes were labelled: right there, think and search, author and me, and lastly on my own.

This weeks reading was quite hard when trying to find the correct answers and trying to find the right box to put them in.
