Extinction Biodiversity Crisis - Minecraft Edu - Summer Learning Journey Wha Tekau Ma Whetu

Today for the Summer Learning Journey we had a Minecraft task. It was about extinct animals. We rode a roller coaster and along the way, there were lots of extinct animals like a Moa and Saber-Toothed Cat. 

I used the camera and portfolio items in Minecraft Education to take photos the name them. When I finished taking photos, I got the photos and put them into slides and researched to add facts. I found it really sad that most of the ways the animals had died were because of hunting by humans in the most recent years, it is our job to protect our animals so that no other animals join this list! look at the slides to see information on each of the animals. 

I enjoyed seeing all the amazing animals that could have been alive today. I would think it would be cool if everybody had saber-toothed cats as pets! I did not find anything tricky in this task because it was very straightforward.

Thank you for reading my blog. Here are some slides with photos:

Geometric Animal Art Summer Learning Journey Toru Tekau Ma Wha

Today for Summer Learning Journey we made geometric animals. I made a geometric turtle using polyline on google slides. When I see a turtle reminds me of the ocean and swimming in summer.

Geometric style art, is an ancient Greek art, primarily of vase painting, that began about 900 bc.

I used 49 Triangles and 3 Squares in my Geometric Art. I added circles in my slide for bubbles which then made 5 Circles. That adds up to 57 shapes in total.

I enjoyed making the turtle on the slides because I could use polyline and that was very easy to use. This task was really fun and really easy, so I found nothing tricky in this task.

Thank you for reading my blog. Here is my turtle:

Minecraft Education Edition Animal Habitats

Today we were learning about where animals live in the wild. We got to make Habitats for animals in minecraft education edition. I chose to eight animals and humans. I made sure I took a photo of everything I did. I used a minecraft portfolio to store the photos. I enjoyed building them because the animals I had lived in very cool places that the animals lived. I found it tricky to put in what the animals ate because some of them would eat them straight away like Wolves and Foxes they ate the bunnies as soon as I put them in the cage. So I put in bunny spawners. The spawners worked like a charm! The Portfolio won't let me put it in my blog so I will put a slide. Here it is:
