WALT: do the summer learning journey
For the summer learning journey we had to make optical illusions, this was my first itempt to make one and I think it turned out pretty well, you could see it as a hole or a upside down pyramid! I really liked this task and would make a illusion happily again. My favourite part was designing one and looking at the end result. I did this on chrome canvas. Have you seen this illusion before and what can you see in it?
WALT: write a haiku for the summer learning journey
For the Summer learning journey we are creating a haiku! I personally really like this task and enjoy writing haiku. My favourite part of this task was thinking about the summer and writing the lines. I think that haiku's are simple but fun to do as a little project and are a good time waster. What is your favourite form of poetry and why?
A soft, tranquil breeze filled the air. The bellow of the seagulls filled my ears Slip slop slap SPLASH! off we go!

Start your writing here:
It was a hot day. Boiling and frying the people that dare to go outside
, but our school chose this day to go to the pool, not just any old pool,
a non-heated pool and we were really excited for it.
When the time came for the bus to arrive we jumped on the bus and got ready for the road ahead…
The bus sped off leaving no sign of being present at the stopping bay at school.
In the rows of seats we were all so hot.
We couldn't wait till we got to the pool but the bus driver said we were 10 minutes
away and for some reason we got even hotter.
The excruciating long 10 minutes passed and we were there at last.
We raced off to the changing rooms like Sonic the hedgehog on the hunt for coins.
I put my bag on the hanger to call dibs on the space. Once I got changed I started to run to the pool, but the lifeguard stopped me and I slowed down.
I took a look around the pool and saw there was a diving
board not like any other diving board but a huge diving board.
Bigger than any other at Jellie park. Actually 3 times as big as the biggest diving board there.
I was scared for my life, so I decided to swim in the main pool no matter how crowded it was.
As I hopped in, the diving board was on my mind, if I jump then I will be proud and if I don´t… My stomach was going around and around. My best friends Holly,Anna and Logan said ¨ are you going to go and jump off that massive diving board¨
I replied ¨only if you do it too.¨ and then Holly and Anna said
¨ I don´t know about that Emily...¨
Anna looked terrified ¨ what if you get hurt¨
and Holly exclaimed ¨I don´t want you to get hurt!¨ Holly and Anna
I said ¨ NO¨ sternly I'm gonna do it. I was determined but also out of my mind,
This time I was doing it no ifs or buts.
As I walked over my head was spinning and I had no idea what to do.
I was only 1 meter away and really really scared.
I climbed up the stair leading to the
higher and higher and my nerves were getting worser and worser when
I got up the top I leaned down to see
how far it was and it was really far but
I couldnt see properly so
I leaned a bit more forward and wasn't ready an- SPLASH! I fell straight into the diving pool.
I forgot to block my nose and then water was irritating it and I came up just to find that my
goggles were missing…
There was a lot more to worry about though the pool was really deep and
I wasn't a confident swimmer then a orange floaty bobbed above my head,
I grabbed on and was hurtled back onto land and was glad I did it in the end.
Holly,Logan and Anna ended up facing the board too.
It was all a dream, how did I face the diving board? And how did the diving board get so popular?
WALT: be grateful for things we receive
At school we got duffy books, I really liked my duffy book. I got Reflection: A twisted tale. Thank you duffy for this book I am so grateful we get these books! this is really awesome. My favourite part is getting them and of course reading them. I took this image myself. Overall I really am happy with my book. Whats your favourite author and why?
WALT: try the first post of the Summer learning journey
At school we are doing the summer learning journey, as a first post for SLJ. we used Art colouring book. I Really Liked this tool because it was a fun and creative way of painting (not real painting) digitally. I really liked this tool and recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to do. I painted Under the great wave of Kanagawa the top one is mine and the bottom is the original
mine
WALT: edit yourself into your dream holiday destination
At school we had to create a photo of you in your dream holiday destination. I really liked this task because it looks really cool and a little bit real. I shot myself in Japan next to a shinto shrine. I love japan because of the awesome culture. What is your favourite country?
WALT: create a DLO that teaches how to do greater than less than
At school for math we are learning greater than less than, it is quite simple once you learn the rule and a little bit fun. My favourite part was drawing the crocodile. I enjoyed this drawing because it was quick and easy. What is your favourite math strategy? and what could you do to improve it ?
WALT: write about nyan cat
I liked this task because not everyday we get to write about nyan cat, and it was really fun. I think some people may get annoyed by listening to the mews of nyan cat, personally I think it sound really cute. My favourite part was writing the whole thing!b I don´t really have a favourite part. What is your favourite version of nyan cat?
Nyan cat, a rainbow cat that meows in space with a peanut butter and jelly, suddenly crashed into room 3, at first we thought it was a meteor but then it starting singing its mesmerising tune consisting of meow meow mew mew mew mew mew mew mew mew meow meow etc. it was like a spaceship crashing into another planet , its rainbow was flashing it gave a meoow and observed logan and then they went off to talk, while we had to deal with the half-blown up room 3.
WALT: make a slide of advent
Logan, Holly and I made a slide with advent week (Logan did most of it, we just put our comments in). I like advent because it is the time we get excited for Christmas, and get together with family. My favourite art was doing slide 1 (hope). Next time I will try and reflect about the meanings more. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
