Year: 2024

For the “Step it up” version. I had to do the same thing, but imagine it was in the Summer. I would really love to visit Brazil. Figuring out the equipment,the place and the activities were really easy. If you don’t know why I have a picture of the “Christ the Redeemer” statue, its because I would really like to visit it someday. And for this year, I’m trying to have a better relationship with God. Hopefully I will succeed.

Although I prefer Winter over Summer. I really love the things you can do in the Summer time. You can dig your feet in the soft sand. You can play with your family in the sea. And especially getting fish and chips later on. But my favourite part of Summer, is hanging out with my friends and families at the pools. What do you and your family do during swimming?

For this Summer Learning Journey. I had to think where I would love to go for a Winter Holiday! And I chose a Winter Cabin. I would love to live in a Cabin because I would like to feel what its like to live in a very beautiful house made of logs. I would also love to see how it looks from the inside. Finding the location and the activities were easy, as for the equipment. I thought about it. Once I was done, I had to write why I would love to visit a Cabin. Most of the reasons are there.

Although the Summer is pretty nice, I prefer Winter more. It’s where I can feel the breeze of the air. I love the cold, but not too much. I also love Winter because its where the annoying bugs like flies or probably mosquitoes. If you don’t like Winter then thats fine with me, its your opinion after all. Why do you love or hate Winter?

To celebrate the beginning of 2024, I decided to make this poem for someone special who can’t be here. My aunty, who sadly passed away. I miss her so much so I made her a poem. I tried making a poem that didn’t need to rhyme, but then I just added rhymes later on. As for the picture. I wanted to make a beautiful picture with birds flying above. But I just thought to myself, I’ll just do a Summer picture. And so I did.

In fact, if the place in the picture was real. I would love to go there! It would be a really nice and beautiful view and to have a good swim. I would definitely take my family with me. I love this Summer Learning Journey, I couldn’t really post anything because I was gone somewhere. But luckily i’m here now. If you were to write a poem to someone who would it be?

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?

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.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I just added random Polygon shapes together, but then I found out that I was doing the wrong thing and restarted. Some of you might notice that I changed it. I chose hexagons because they remind me of those beehive patterns and although I’m afraid of bees and every bug, I still admire them. I still remember the tine where I first got stung by a bee when I was at school, I can’t remember the pain though. Where was your first bee sting? Or your first painful moment?

What I love about this activity is that I learnt meanings of new words that might be useful when I go back to school. But the one word that I love is “Regular Tessellations”. Regular Tessellations is a pattern that includes regular Polygon shapes. Each of the Polygon’s sides are connected and make no gaps. Therefore creating a unique pattern.  And if you don’t know what Regular Polygons are, their shapes that have the same length and the same measurement.
