NASA Colouring Book - Step It Up

 

NASA Art Colouring Book - SLJ

 This art work was really fun to colour, and it was fun to mix and match them. Here are some fun facts I found out: 

What do astronauts eat on the International Space Station?

An astronaut can choose from many different kinds of food. For example, fruit, candy, beef, chicken, seafood, nuts, and brownies. The food they eat has to be vacuum sealed, already cooked, or freeze dried because on the space station, the astronaut crew doesn't have a microwave or stove.

What I Have Learned After Watching A Video About Dinosaurs

 

I really enjoyed the video lesson on trace fossils, bone fossils, what are dinosaurs, and how paleontologists find dinosaur fossils. I  have learnt a lot after watching that video. The quiz was really fun and it was about dinosaurs and a woman called Joan who is a paleontologist. I watched it from the Auckland Museum's website. You can find it here: Auckland Museum's website

Map for Little Koala Lost

 This story is about a little koala who is abandoned in the middle of a forest. The little koala tried to find a home with different animals but he kept being rejected. At the end, he found ten koalas who loved him just the way he was and invited him to join them. This google drawing was very fun to make. I hope I can do this again with another story!

Making Rosary Beads

 Today at school I made rosary beads using a measured piece of string that was purple, ten yellow wooden beads and three single wooden beads that were ivory, green and red. 

First, we had to get the ten beads of one colour and thread them on the plastic string we had. After, we needed to get the two ends of our rosary beads and line them up at the end.

Then we inserted the string through both of the ends of each bead. It was hard at first but the trick was to insert both of the ends of the string into the bead, and once you had done that we had to push on one of the ends into the bead and then do the same with the other end of the string.

 After inserting the two other beads, I tied a knot at the bottom and pulled the ends of the string to tighten the knot. Finally, I made a knot at the end of the string while putting two of my fingers to make the hole stay in place while I tied the knot. In the end, our teacher Mrs Deeney put a white sticker for us to draw a cross on one side and our name on the other.

We made rosary beads because October is the month of the rosary.  Two years ago, my teacher Mrs Agnew taught us how to pray the rosary and that October is the month of the rosary. Our class made the same rosary beads with the same items. The rosary beads will be very helpful because it will help keep track of the prayers as I go along. 

Lockdown Task 2

 The hard part about this was to let it dry, because I was so impatient! 

What is the Best Way to Stop Abusive Language Online?

 The hard bit of this DLO (digital learning object) was to get the information. Google didn't help that much because it was difficult to understand the words I didn't know. I just had to remember what Mister Bell had said. Luckily, I managed to write four paragraphs. I hope the pictures are attractive but next time, I will write it in a google document(with pictures).
