Summer Learning Journey Reflection

 My favourite activity this summer was the Family Treasure Island activity. I enjoyed setting it up and watching my family struggle. 

I have been doing the summer learning journey for over two years and the one thing I struggled on was the origami. The origami instructions were unclear and it took so long to get even slightly close to finishing.

The thing I think I learnt the most about would be the poetry. I learnt about snowflake poems and other types of poems.

Next year I would like to see more outdoor activates like building things only using things you find outdoors.

Painting a Rock

 The activity was to paint a rock. I didn't have time to paint a rock because I have a friend coming around soon so I used pens. I am going to put the rock somewhere random.

I don't like art that much because I find it boring and don't have the time to do it.

Whose Bag

 The activity was to find out about the person who owned the bag.

Treasure Island

 Today I did the Family Treasure Island. The challenge was to make our own Treasure Island games and for our family to do them. Only my dad and brother competed though. 

What I did was blindfold them. I then made then spin around a lot. They then had to make their way from our living room to our dining room. From there still blindfolded they had to choose one out of three cups. One of the cups had juice in it and the other two had water. The goal was to drink the juice on your first try.

My dad made it to the juice and managed to pick the cup of juice. My brother though walked into a book shelf with a big DONK and then walked past the table so that means he lost and my dad won.

Kite

 I am sick again. I have a tonsil infection which causes me to throw up. But this morning I don't fell sick but my tonsils still hurt. 

I made a kite out of driftwood and a plastic bag. Where I live there is hardly any wind so it didn't fly with out running and even then it barely flew. Since I'm sick my mum ran with the kite.

Snowball Poem

 Fishing

Big fish

Lots of fun

Fishing nearly every day

Catching fish and loosing fish

Rivers lakes ponds creeks sea estuary

Catch release, smoked fried baked battered delicious  

Water Ink

I left the circle in the water for around 15 minutes an tried some different pens. I think I used the wrong pens and paper. So unfortunately it didn't work.  

My mum told me to use toilet paper and then it worked. The toilet paper is more absorbent.
