Scratch Project - Seasonal Greeting Poem Summer Learning Journey Tekau Ma Waru

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I made a game on Scratch. It was a Seasonal Greeting Card. I used Vector art to make myself, the character in the game. I actually made this at my grandparent's house, so you might hear them in the background if you listen hard enough. I made this interactive card for my Nana and made up a poem.

I enjoyed creating myself on Scratch because I could be as creative as I wanted. Did you know that the character's clothes were the actual clothes I wore today? I wore a weet-bix shirt and purple overalls.

I found it tricky to share my project on scratch because the button that would normally appear did not appear and I could not put it on my blog. I thought about what I should do for a while, and I came up with screencastify. I could record a video of it then put it on my blog. So that is what I have done.

Next time I would add more Christmasy stuff like Christmas trees in the background to give it a more Christmasy look.

Here is my poem:

And here is my game:

Magic Maths Kick Start Summer Learning Journey Tekau ma Toru

Today I was making sure I had done everything for the Summer Learning Journey. I came across the magic maths. I noticed that I forgot to do the Kick Start and only did the step it up. So today I chose to do that activity.

I enjoyed doing the trick on my sister because she picked a really high number for one of them to see if it would still work. It did! Somehow it still answered the same as it would of if she put 3. This kick start activity was quite easy, fun and I did not find anything tricky.

Next time I would try with more numbers and different siblings.

Thank you for reading my blog, Here are the magic tricks:

Magic Maths With Playing Cards Summer Learning Journey Tekau

Today I had some fun making magic tricks for the Summer Learning Journey. The first one was the one taught in the Summer Learning Journey lesson. The second one I learnt from a Tom Games book. And the third my Mum taught me from when she was a child.

I found it tricky to do the transitions fast because I only just learnt them and could not get them faster in a few of them. So I just did it slowly to make sure did them right.

Next time I would learn to do the magic tricks right and fast to make it look a lot better.
