LI: to use Song Maker to create music.

For SLJ Activity No. 5#, the activity was to use a website called “Song Maker” to create music. I started to explore and gather information about how to use the tools and how it works on the website. Then when I was all set, I began my journey awaiting at a wondrous rate as I was thrilled and day dreaming to create my song. Above here is a picture of how it looks on the website, here is a link to my Music.

I found this activity very interesting and very fun because my honest speech about this activity is that I have experience of using this website so I knew for a fact that it would be way too easy for me.

LI: to define a mysterious token about the season, Autumn.

For SLJ Activity No. 4#, the activity was to define a mysterious token that was written about the season, Autumn. I first used smart searching skills to define about what the token means, the token was written: “being the time of harvest there was a abundance of kai”, and the results I was given was the “wealth of food, time & wealth of people”. I also decided to use my smart researching skills to research about the token that was I given to define. Here is a link to lead you to my researching: Autumn Link.

I found this activity very interesting because of defining a token about the season, Autumn, especially a token that was created from Te Reo Maori.

LI: to explore about the ANZAC’s journey in the 90’s.

For the SLJ activity No. 3#, The activity was to explore and use Google Earth to gather information about the ANZAC’s Journey. I first used my smart researching skills to gather information and learn about the ANZAC’s Journey. Then I created a project on Google Earth to find the location of where the occasion happened. I have learnt that a war happened during the ANZAC’s Journey, way back in the 90’s, (Australia vs Turkey). Above here is a picture of my project on Google Earth.

I found this activity very interesting because I learnt a new word & that I learnt about a war that I didn’t even know about that was back in the 90’s.

LI: to design a Easter Egg Basket for Easter.

For the SLJ Activity No. 2#, The activity was to design a Easter Egg Basket by using Google Drawings. I was able to get some creative ideas by searching for creative designing ideas first, then I started to create my basket with a Google drawing. The purpose was to create a Easter Egg Basket for Easter. Above here is a picture of my design. Here is a link to my design: Happy Easter

I found this activity pretty easy and interesting because I would have never thought of creating a Easter Egg Basket formed as a bunny.

LI: to explore the 5 trails of the ANZAC at Ngatapuwae (in NZ).

For the SLJ activity No. 1#, I learnt about the 5 trails of ANZAC in Ngatapuwae, (Ngatapuwae is located in Papatoetoe). I first used a website named after Ngatapuwae, I then decided to explore the 5 trails to gather some information from each trail. Did you know that: No. 1#  is where the ANZAC soldiers landed at Ngatapuwae in 1915, at No. 2# they started to explore the cove of the beach, at No. #3 I learnt that Turkish Fire is one of ANZAC men’s nightmare, at No. 4# they moved from the cove to the high ground to place a checkpoint for them, then at No. 5# I learnt that the ANZAC soldiers officially made No. 4# as their campsite and that No. 5# was capable for the men that were stationed at the outposts, could only move around at night at No. 5#. Above here is 2 pictures, 1 of them is a picture of the 5 trails and the 2nd one is a picture of where Ngatapuwae is located in NZ.

I found this activity historically interesting because of how the ANZAC Soldiers feared Turkish Fire in 1915, which I didn’t know.
