Summer Learning Joerney – Art In The Web

           

This week, for the Summer Learning Journey, we created a spider web using our imagination. The activity was called Art in the Web. First, we learned how to draw a spider web step by step and looked at different examples. After that, we tested our own creativity by designing our own spider webs using pencil and paper. I found this activity interesting because we also got to play a game that connected to what we were learning, which made it more fun and engaging. One interesting fact I learned is that spider webs are thinner than a strand of hair but are still very strong and can hold a lot of weight. Overall, this activity was enjoyable because it helped me learn new facts while also being creative.

A Moment in Time – Guy Fawkes

For Writing, Me and my partner (Cattaleya) created a Google video explaining who Guy Fawkes and why did he start their attack?  Guy Fawkes was Catholic man and he and the other plotters thought that Catholics were being unfairly treated and was determined to blow up the Houses of Parliament during a meeting scheduled for the king, government and a few leaders. To do that, they secretly rented a cellar underneath the Houses of Parliament while hiding 36 barrels of gunpowder.

On the day the meeting was started, one of Guy Fawkes plotters betrayed them by sending a letter to a noble man named William parker mentioning not to come to the meeting therefore something bad will happen there.

William was shocked and alerted the goverment. The goverment demaned a search near the Parliament building. They found Guy fawkes guarding the barrels of gunpowder. They they demanded to reveal where the others were abut he didn’t say anything. They started to torture him over and over until he gave in. A few months later Guy fawkes and the others were hung.

This activity was fun and interesting because it made me learn a part of england’s history and the backstory of Guy Fawkes.

 

Summer Learning Journey – Comic Style – Kick Start

 

For this SLJ (Summer Learning Journey), we were asked to find a creature with a unique superpower. I chose the Panther Chameleon because of its amazing ability to camouflage. Chameleons can blend into their surroundings when they sleep or sense danger, making it hard for predators to spot them. This special power helps them survive in the wild, especially when faced with deadly hunters.

The Panther Chameleon also has an interesting diet. Adult chameleons eat live insects such as crickets, roaches, and silkworms. Baby chameleons, however, eat much smaller prey like bean beetles, fruit flies, and pinhead crickets because of their tiny mouths. Learning about what they eat helped me understand even more about how these creatures live.

I really enjoyed this activity because it helped me understand why some animals have “superpowers” and how those abilities help them survive. This task truly interested me and showed how much I understood the topic. I also feel like what I learned can inspire future ideas and projects.
