Oragami fish

For this Summer Learning Journey activity, we had to make or create an origami koi fish. We followed instructions from a video that was provided on the Summer Learning Journey link.There are 3 main types of origami. Single sheet origami, Modular origami (when multiple pieces of origami are pieced together), and Composite origami (when a model is made from two or more pieces folded in different ways).  Somthing I found interesting is that koi fish can live up to and past 100 years in optimal conditions. And can swim up to 2-5 km per hour.

Somthing I found exciting is making the koi fish and learning some new facts

Wanted Stonefish!

Our first activity for the Summer Learning Journey was to create a warning poster about the stonefish. Here are some cool facts about stonefish, The reef species is recognised as the “world’s most venomous fish”, capable of killing an adult within an hour of being stung, They are masters of disguise, They can survive for up to 24 hours without water. And somthing  I found interesting about this task is how we got to be creative with the stonefish.

 

Exploring AI in Writing

Today we used Papyrus AI which is a generative AI that uses patterns in words and a large language model (LLM) to predict what ideas we might write next. Papyrus AI has been very helpful, making my story sound powerful and allowing me to visualize it in my head. I found it challenging when it gave me too many suggestions but I would definitely like to use Papyrus AI again. It was a fun way to write a story.

The forest of Red and Snow

In a kingdom where magical woods stretched as far as the eye could see, young Red Riding Hood was tasked by her mother to bring a basket of muffins to her grandmother. Not far from the winding forest path lived Snow White with her seven cheerful dwarfs. Red Riding Hood, stepping into the enchanted forest, was reminded to be cautious around strangers. The sun peeked through the branches, casting playful shadows on the ground. Her curiosity was piqued by the colourful flowers lining her route, and as she paused to gather them, she felt a sudden chill of unease.

Turning around, Red Riding Hood found herself face-to-face with the Big Bad Wolf. He wore an air of deceptive friendliness, but his eyes sparkled with mischief. Meanwhile, Snow White was diligently tending to her chores, blissfully unaware of any impending trouble. The wolf, having caught wind of Red Riding Hood’s journey and Snow White’s beauty, concocted a plan to ensnare the both of them with his clever tricks.

As Red Riding Hood approached the dwarfs’ charming cottage, her initial wariness grew. The wolf had already slipped into the house, disguised as one of the dwarfs, stirring quiet chaos with his presence. Upon entering, Red Riding Hood was greeted warmly by Snow White, who was delighted by her company and intrigued by the treats she brought. However, a lingering sense of oddity soon prompted suspicion.

The clever dwarfs were quick to perceive the wolf’s poor disguise. Banding together with Snow White and Red Riding Hood, they orchestrated a daring plan to oust the impostor.

With teamwork and quick thinking, they revealed the wolf’s true nature, forcing him to flee back into the depths of the forest, never to bother them again.

Safe at last, Red Riding Hood and Snow White celebrated their newfound friendship. With hearts full of gratitude and joy, they knew the forest paths were now places of adventure and camaraderie rather than danger. Knowing they could rely on one another, they embraced their shared story, forever united against any foes that might come their way.

Heart rate experiment

For an activety we got to explore and learn more about our heart rates, our heart rates is the speed our heart beats, for this task we had to get into partners, but first we had to check our pulse ourselfs, a timer was put on and we had to see how much our heart beats in that period of time, then we got our partners to check it, for me it was the same about of times.

Then we went outside for the same task but with a different type of twist, to get our heart pumping or racing we started jogging on the spot for 1min, after we had run our partner had to check our pulse and see if it was racing or not, my heart rate when from 27 to 40.

This task was very new to me therefore I found it interesting and fun since I knew how fast my heart rate was.

My first prompt was underwater transport for my picture I created I wrote flowers, dolphines, strawberrys and a tall three story boat as well as chocolate, and then we had to change something by using our BAR, (thinkers key) bigger, add and replace.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to create something with AI.

 

Why is sleep so important?

LI: To explain why sleeping is so important

LI: To read the images and make inferences

For our task we made a poster explaining why sleep is so important, by not only talking about it but by answering the questions and etc. There are many side effects for getting to much and no sleep, for an example, no sleep can cause things like depression, heart diseases, memory loss, anxiety and much more, and getting too much sleep will give you headaches, obesity, diabetes and heart disease again also a greater risk of dying from a medical condition. Here is one fun fact about sleeping. If you have a bad attitude or even mad it can make you have less sleep and even oxygen!

I enjoyed this task because I learnt more about sleep and why its important.

Provocation Paris

In this activtity we used provocation to look at both sides of the issue, our issue was how the country/Paris which are choosed to hold the olympics used with 10 billions dollars to host the olympic games just for the houses and statiums to get abandom and forgotten after the Olympics end. Me and my partner thought that the money was a waste because  they shouldn’t have spent that much money on something that just went to waste, the money which was wasted could have changed people lives,and in our opinion that is much more important than some building that just get abandoned and forgotten once the olympics come to an end. 

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about provocation
