Summer Learning Journey- Poem Postcards

I love poems. I love poems that have meanings in them, or “didactic poetry”. But I’ve never heard of “Limerick” poetry. But once I found out what it was, it might be my favourite now. If you don’t know, Limerick poetry is where a poem that has five sentences but has a hilarious story. If I were to share this postcard with someone, I would definetely share it with my friends Estherose, Willietony or Jamie. They make me laugh everytime whenever I’m around them.

I chose Limerick poetry for my project because Its my favourite! But as for the winter snow picture. I chose that picture because I love winter! But in New Zealand it doesn’t really snow when its Winter. Once I grow up, I’d love to travel to countries where their is snow. The only experience I’ve had with snow was at Snow Mountain, it was very fun! I really enjoyed this Summer Learning Journey activity, this reminds me of the times where my class would do poems maybe once a week. Do you love writing poems?

Summer Learning Journey-Irregular Tessellation

For the “Step it up” version of the Tessellation activity I decided to make 2 of them. I tried making one irregular and the other semi-regular but I think both are semi-regular Tessellation. Making the blue and green one was easy, as for the purple and orange one it took me a bit of time. But then I got it done and it turned out to be pretty good. I like the purple and orange one the most, it looks like a 3D spiky line crawling down. What do you prefer? 2D or 3D?

If you don’t know the difference between irregular and semi-regular then I’ll gladly explain it to you. Semi-regular Tessellations are made from regular polygon shapes, then are combined and creates a pattern. As for the Irregular Tessellation, they are made from figures that aren’t polygon shapes or not even made from any shape at all. The figure can be animals or funky looking shapes that are soon connected and turned into a pattern.
