All About Me!

WALT use Google Drawings to create a drawing about me.

To start the year, we were asked to create a Google Drawing about ourselves.

We had to include:

- Our favourite food

- Our favourite animal

- A country/place we want to visit

- A picture of ourselves.

All images needed to be original and created by ourselves!

This is my Google Drawing introducing me. I was trying to create a beach scene, but found it difficult to create waves - they look more like seagulls! I could try to trace waves next time, to make this look more realistic. I am quite proud of my giraffe, though!

What are your favourite foods and animals? Have you been to where I would like to go? Please comment below!

Beginning My Summer Learning Journey (Example)

Week 1: In the Beginning

Activity ONE: The First Settlers

Māui is a demi god from Māori myths and legends. Here are some interesting facts I have found out about him.
1. It is said that he caught the North Island with a fishing hook and used the South Island as a waka!
2. Māui has many brothers and he is the youngest of the lot. He is also very mischievous and will get up to a lot of trouble.
3.

I watched the movie Moana where Māui was the demi god who helped Moana save her land. He was very arrogant and stubborn. He has magic powers and could turn into different animals (shape-shifter).  The Maui in the movie is much nicer than the one in the story as he becomes good friends with Moana.

I have attached a image I created, representing the story of Maui.

Leaving my mark on the cluster

WALT create a logo for the Uru Mānuka Cluster.

We were given the task of designing a logo for the cluster as it did not have one. I thought it would be fun to design a logo myself - even if I did not compete for the prize!

We discussed the significance of the name of the cluster and also the mānuka tree itself.

My design has a Mānuka Tree planted inside Hornby - the frame is a rough sketch of the Hornby area, taken from a street map. I chose to use only a few colours and to keep the design as simple as possible.
