Today for the Summer Learning journey I completed the pixel art task.
I first went to the summer learning journey blog to see what was my task for today.
After watching the video about the basics of pixel art I quickly went on the website and started drawing a sun.
For my drawing I used the colours yellow, dark yellow, blue, black and white. Yellow for the sun, dark yellow for the shade of the sun, blue for the sky, black for the glasses and white to make the sun look brighter.
Here is my art:
Today I completed the Tama-nui-te-ra task for the summer learning journey. This task was an maori task.First I went on the summer learning journey blog to see what I have to do. I watched the video to get more information on what to do.
After wards I went to site called word art. This is what I used to create my picture. I had to list words in Maori that mean a lot for me. Some of the words I used were: Kia kaha, whakaipo and whanau. After that chose what shape I want to use, the word layout and the font.
I found this task really fun because I get to show whats important to me the most.
Today I completed this weeks Nano girl task. For this task I had to try create sundial. A device that shows the time of day by the position of the shadow cast onto a marked plate by an object with a straight edge.
First I watched a video that Nano girl made to show how to make a sundial. I used cardboard and tape.Instead of using regular tape, I used duck tape because I didn't have any other tape I could use.
Then I made my shapes by drawing a circle and a right triangle on the cardboard. After that I used scissors to cut out the shapes. I used tape to stick my right triangle onto the circle. Afterwards I wrote 2 different times. One that the tells the time when I should wake up, and another which tells what time I should go to sleep.
Then I tested my sundial using my torch. It was quite interesting because I wondered how did people think of this thousands of years ago. I surprise some that was used thousands of years ago, stills work.
This task had to be one of the most fun task I've done yet.
Today I completed the happy new years in different languages task.
In different languages we had to say happy new year.We had to used 5 languages.
The languages I used to say happy to celebrate the new year were: Tongan, German, Dutch (Netherlands), Samoan, and Hawaiian.
The Polynesian languages I knew because my Mum and Grandma are Tongan, Samoa and Hawaiian. The both of them started teaching me when I was a little baby.
The European languages I knew because when I was little my Grandfather used to teach words bit by bit in German and a little bit of dutch.
I found this task easy because most of these languages I learnt how to speak in them from family members.
