NASA Art Work : Kick Start | Summer Learning Journey

Today I have completed the first activity of the Summer Learning Journey. I decided to do the step it up activity. For this activty I needed to pick a image to colour and find a fact about the image.

I found this task fun because I was able to learn some facts and get to know a little bit more about NASA.

Summarising fantastic fish

 L.I: To summarise a text

For reading with Mrs Linda we read fantastic fish. It’s about different unique fish. Fiish have three different fins. They are the dorsal fin which keeps the fish from rolling over, the tail fin which pushes the fish forward and the pectoral fish which helps the fish steer. 

Some interesting facts we found were that fish have three different types of fins. Mudskippers can live out of the water and a manta ray has a wingspan about 7 metres across. 

We found this activity fun and interesting because we found out the different uses of the fins and there are some fish that don’t look like fish for example the seahorse and the mudskipper. This was an enjoyable activity.

The red zone is the Angry , Worried , Frustrated, Overly Excited and many more emotions. Green zone is when you are feeling calm, balanced, and other peaceful emotions.

\We did this session to learn how to stay calm and control our emotions. Today we did mindfulness breathing, we closed our eyes and Mrs Anderson rang the singing bowl.

How did you feel at the end of the session? How I felt at the end of the session is really calm , relaxed and focused on what's happening right now instead of worrying about what's happening last night, yesterday , and tomorrow.  It helped me focus on myself and control my emotions thats going through my head(Mindset).
