Christmas Activities!

 Hey bloggers! I am back!

Throughout the week, we have been doing some Christmas activities. Some of them includes weaving some heart decorations and making Christmas tree dot arts.

I'll talk about the dot art first. So, you need a template that's a picture of a Christmas tree, but instead of a line, it's dots. You also need a piece of card and a pin. You need to line up the piece of card and the template of the Christmas tree. The template goes in front of the card. Once you've lined them up, then you've got to get a pin and stab it into each dot on the template. Make sure you're on the carpet so the pin doesn't make a mark in anything! Once you're finished, you put it up to the window and the light shines through. Pretty cool, right? Also, we weaved some heart baskets. 

Here are some photos!

Skateboarding

Kia ora, bloggers,

I am back!

Have you ever learnt to skateboard? Well, we did!

We had some skateboarding lessons today and if was fantastic! We had two coaches; Laurence and Ben. They taught us some different skills to improve our skateboarding. Some of the skills they taught us included tic-tacs, turning, stopping and picking up speed. 

We also played a game called What's up, Wolf? How you play this game is the wolf is on a skateboard and they start the game by saying "What's up, wolf pack?". The wolf pack then replies "What's up, wolf?". Then, the game begins. The wolf will skate towards the line at the other end of the court. The wolf pack have to follow behind, getting ready to stop when needed and trying not to overtake the wolf. If they do overtake the wolf, they have to go back 8 pushes on the skateboard.

Occasionally, the wolf will turn around, and everyone has to stop. If they don't stop and the wolf catches them, then they have to go back 4 pushes on the skateboard. After a few stops and goes, the wolf will shout out "Dinner time!" Between the wolf pack, it's a race to the line. Whoever gets over the line on their skateboard becomes the next wolf.

I loved the What's Up, Wolf game! It was so fun! I also loved learning new skills like tic-tacs. I am now pretty confident with a skateboard and I think that's great!

I'm really excited for the next session. Here are some photos:

Animating a Name

Kia ora, everyone!

We're back in lockdown again, but that's OK!

Today, for my Maths at home, I did some coding. Where I animated my name. I had to add different blocks to code, which was cool. This task challenged me I bit but I got used to it. Towards the end, I didn't even need the tutorial videos to help me out!

This coding activity shows my interests and favourite things.

Check my animation out by playing it down below.

I used Scratch to make this animation. It was VERY fun to do as a Maths task, and I would definitely do it again.

Have you ever used Scratch before? Do you like coding? Have you ever done anything like this before?
