SLJ Week 1 Activity 4

 LI: To create a piece of insect art

Inspired by art creations by Raku Inoue we went outside and collected leaves, twigs, and other plant debris to create our own insect images. I found it hard to put it together because some of the materials were small and would just move around due to the wind but also enjoyed it because we got to make the bugs using our imaginations and were creative. Did you know that adult beetles have 2 sets of wings and that females beetles usually lay around hundreds or dozens of eggs. By the way beetles only live for around a year!

SLJ Week 1 Activity 3 - Quality Blog Comment

 LI: To post a blog comment on someone else's blog post that starts a rich learning conversation

Leaving a quality blog comment on another  student’s blog helps us make connections to new learning by asking open ended questions that encourage a reply and motivate the blogger to ask their own question in return. This is how a comment thread starts and when that happens we make connections with a wider audience who we can learn with and from.

SLJ Week 1 Activity 2 - Fishy False Teeth

LI: To create our own comic off the images of the story Fishy False Teeth

My comic strip shows the conversation I imagine these two people had after one of the men had sneezed his teeth into the sea during a fishing trip. I found this SLJ activity fun because I had images to work with and already had ideas of what i wanted to do for the story.

SLJ Week 1 Activity 1 - Scavenger Hunt with Nano Girl

LI: To collect materials needed to successfully complete our weekly superpower building missions with Nano Girl.

This morning LS2 worked in groups with our Year 4 students to help them create their first Summer Learning Journey blog posts. PBS are still at school this week so finding some of the materials we needed for our treasure hunt was easy. Our challenge is going to be able to find all the materials we need at home now. I found this activity fun because I am looking forward to the other summer learning journey and nano girl experiments.
