Summer learning journey - Kowhaiwhai

 Today I was doing the summer learning journey task for today. I learned about Tānerore and Tama-nui-te-ra. Tānerore is the son of Tama-nui-te-ra, You can only see him when it's a really hot day and there is something moving in the distance. That is him, you can also see Tānerore when a group of people is doing kapa haka and their hands are doing the wiriwiri, a hand movement. 
Today's task was to either draw a Kowhaiwhai or do it online using google drawing. I drew mine and coloured it but it doesn't look right with the colours and I used colour pencils to colour it so it doesn't pop. Here is my picture.

What Christmas means to me

Last week I wrote what Christmas means to me and I wrote it in a poem. Here is my poem.
What Christmas means to me…
Christ’s birthday or Jesus’ birth.
Happy times with family and friends.
Remembering and celebrating about times of the year.
It also means giving the joy when you give your presents
Santa gives presents to kids because he likes to see the joy when they open it.
To give and receive.
Merry Christmas to everyone who is alone in the world.
A time to share.
So have a merry and a joyful Christmas.

Ice candle

 Today we made ice candles, it was really interesting because when we ripped the cardboard out it was pouring our water. It looked really cool, and the ice candle that I ripped of the cartoon had a face.
Here are the steps on how to make an ice candle:
1. We got out old candles that don't work anymore and melt them over a stove and a pan.
2. well that was melting we got out milk cartons and cut of the top.
3. after we pour oil into the carton and used our hands to spread it on all sides of the carton.
4. then we hold in place a long white candle that's new in the middle of the carton and put ice in the carton.
5. once there is ice in, we carefully poured the wax from the candles into the cartons.
6. left it overnight and let it set.

The Social Network

Today I was learning how to post a safe picture or a video online.

I enjoyed choosing the color.

I found it challenging to think of what to type in the right word.

My digital learning object shows that we MUST be safe online.

Next time I would change sharps.
