This task helped me learn about the history behind Fish n Chips and the history behind England. One thing about this task that was my favourite was that I found many different facts about Fish n Chips.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt many things about the history behind England and Fish n Chips. One thing that was challenging about this task was that I had to find out information about this task and most of the information was fake.

The narwhal lives deep inside the water. Narwhals has no teeth and not all narwhals has tusks which makes thhem special.

For this Summer Learning Journey activity I created a “Japanese Puffer Fish”. I learnt many things about the Japanese Puffer Fish. One fun fact of the Japanese Puffer Fish is that chefs that are trained for 3 years or longer have to cook the fish so the poisoness doesn’t spread to your body while getting eaten. This fish is a one of a kind fish because its very known for having like numbness in your mouth or the poison inside of it. One thing about this task I enjoyed was the making of the fish because I really enjoy like tracing and drawing things.

I enjoyed this task in my opinion because I reallyed enjoy learning about new animals that I’ve never heard. One thing that was challenging was finding the information about this fish because it is not that known around the world, but overall I really enjoyed doing task.

SLJ Challenge 1 – Wanted Poster of Stonefish

For this task we learnt about a fish from the islands called the Stonefish. This fish is one of the most dangerous fishes in the world due to the spikes that have vemon. The vemon can kill you because if you step on the toxican spike, the vemon would go through your skin and inside your body and kill you. My poster had things like: the safety tips, beware of the fish, and do not approach it.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt about the new fish and why it’s so dangerous to approach it. One challenging thing about this task is finding the information because all I read about was the spikes which had vemon.

 

Board Game Rulers and Arrows – Maths

For this task we made a board game about Maths. Our name of our game is rulers and arrows, which is a replica of snakes and ladders. This game is a 2 – 6 player game. The age limit is 10+ because kids from 9 and under shouldn’t be able to play with electronics. One thing that I enjoyed about this game is that I like how the board is set up and how I learnt many things of developing a game. Developing a game is hard  because you would have to plan what it looks like, the shape, the colours, the rewards, and everything else. Our game is only online because making it in real life is challenging because you would have to measure everything and plan on how your going to make it. I really enjoyed making and playing the game because it helped me learn about many things and how hard it is just to develope a game online. One thing I found challenging is how to plan the game because we never knew what our game was going to look like and how we would plan everything.

Exploring PapyrusAI

For this task we learnt about AI and using a website called ‘PapyrusAI’ which creates a story, image, or  pattern, but for this to happen you have to use LLM which is a large language model. PapyrusAi gives feedback / suggestions which helped me boost my story onto another level. One key idea to using this is to always check because AI is guessing which might not be %100 correct. PapyrusAI makes conversations and also gives feedback / suggestions to help make the text or image more detailed. This task really helped me boost up my vocabulary and make my story even better.

I enjoyed getting feedback from PapyrusAI because it really helped make my story more detailed and better. One thing that was challenging for me is that the suggestions kept on going and going until I realised I didn’t have to follow all the prompts.

Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there were two little girls living very different lives near the same mysterious forest. Little Red Riding Hood lived on the dark and gloomy side, surrounded by tall trees that blocked out the sunlight, making the forest cold and damp. On the other side, Princess Snow White resided in a large, bright, and shiny white-coloured castle, where the weather was warm and pleasant, amid beautiful trees and animals like horses. Snow had a strange, eerie feeling that something bad was going to happen. She lived with her Mother and Grandmother, but her Evil Queen Mother sought revenge. The Queen blamed Snow for the King’s absence and planned to have Snow kidnapped by forcing her to speak to strangers, ultimately to banish her in a cage for eternity.

Inside the brightly lit room of the castle, adorned with shiny diamonds, the magic mirror of Snow White’s Mother always told the truth. One day, she asked, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest of them all?” To her fury, the mirror replied, “You, my queen, but there’s a small girl who is greater overall.” Determined to find and eliminate this girl, she pressed on, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, where’s the little girl in fall?” The mirror cryptically answered, “The little girl in the fall is placed in a village with five poles.”

Driven by envy, the Evil Queen sent Snow White to ask strangers for directions to the nearest shop, hoping to entangle her in danger. Meanwhile, a large silhouette of the Big Bad Wolf loomed in the distance. On the other side of town, Little Red Riding Hood was headed to the same shop to buy special apples for her sick Grandmother. As Snow White arrived, she encountered a cashier with suspiciously wolf-like features. The Wolf, disguised, tried luring Snow White to a back room, claiming he had what she needed. At that moment, Little Red Riding Hood spotted Snow and attempted to intervene. Despite her brave effort, both girls were captured, leaving them scared, frightened, and anxious about what might happen next.

As the Big Bad Wolf prepared to carry out his plan, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White bravely devised a way to escape. They whispered a quick plan, using their combined wits. Little Red Riding Hood remembered the special apples she had for her Grandmother, which could momentarily make anyone sleepy. She offered one to the Wolf, pretending it was a token of friendship.

The Wolf, intrigued and fooled by her gesture, took the apple and devoured it. Soon, he found himself growing drowsy. Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood seized the opportunity; they quickly slipped away from the back room, running through the shop and into the forest.

Their escape alerted friendly woodland creatures, who had always looked after Little Red Riding Hood. The animals aided their flight, guiding them safely back through the forest to Snow’s castle.

Once they reached the bright castle, Snow White’s Grandmother, known for her wisdom and kindness, thanked Little Red Riding Hood for her bravery and shared the truth about Snow’s mother, the Evil Queen. United by friendship and courage, the two girls felt stronger knowing they had defeated the odds.

Realising the error of her ways, the Evil Queen saw the bravery Snow White had shown and had a change of heart. Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood’s story became a legend, known for their cleverness and the powerful bond of friendship, continuing to inspire many.

Tokelauan Language Week

In this activity we found out some facts about Tokelau for Tokelauan Language Week. The most interesting fact I found out is that Tokelau is the smaller than the NYC Central Park. Tokelau is 200km and NYC Central Park is 700km. What I also found interesting is that Tokelau is over 1000+.

I enjoyed this activity as I had a connection to Tokelau and learnt many things about Tokelau. I need to improve on explainging it more simpler for the little kids, so they could learn about Tokelau and its culture.

Why It’s Important to go Sleep?

LI: to explain why sleep is so important
LI: to read the images and make inferences

For this task we learnt about why it’s important to have enough sleep. Enough sleep for your age is important because if you don’t, you will be tired and if you go school early, but went sleep at 12am at midnight, you might sleep in class and get in trouble. Many kids in the world go sleep at 12am or longer, but not knowing they have school early in the morning. Kids need to stop sleeping so late because it could effect them from going to school and not have the right education for their brain. For this task we learnt about the rate of people going sleep at the wrong time and also learnt about how much time they need for their sleep.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how much I need for my sleep and this would help me have the right amount of sleep for school. I need to improve on working on the rate of people sleeping.
