Origami Fish- Kickstart

Today is teachers day for us in Saint Patrick’s School so I decided to look for the Summer learning journey activities. I chose the origami fish activity because it’s easy and it doesn’t take a lot of time.

Now if you are wondering how to get a square as the person started with a square, don’t worry! Just lightly pinch the top right hand corner of A4 paper like this:

  (Ignore my finger)

 

After that step, cut the paper to look like this/a triangle:

(sorry if it’s the other way around)

Then, just open it up to get a square!

Making the whole fish, especially the eyes is pretty easy as you just have to pause the video. The part I loved about making the origami fish is the tail. It can be harder than the other parts of the fish, but once you understand what you did wrong, it can be easy. Because it won’t load, click this link to see the fish.

 

Kickstart+Step it up: ‘Wanted’ Feared Fish

Today after finishing my work, I registered myself and did a kickstart. The kickstart is to make a wanted poster for the stonefish. Before showing my poster, here are three facts about stonefish; Fact 1- Stonefish is one of the most venomous fish in the world as its spines can cause intense pain and kill you.

Fact 2- Stonefish aren’t predators that can’t be eaten- sharks and rays can eat them. Fact 3 – Stonefish can be edible if properly prepared- it can be eaten as sashimi if you remove the spines that have venom.

Now to do the step it up challenge, I went on the Explore link to search for dangerous sea creatures in the world. I chose the red lionfish as they are usually in aquariums. Here are three facts about the red lionfish; Fact 1- Red lionfish are the most venomous type of lionfish as their venom is in their spines like the stonefish.

Fact 2- Red lionfish aren’t always aggresive but they can be aggresive and attack you if they feel threatened. Fact 3- You can eat any type of lionfish- the spines are only venomous so remove the spines of the lionfish and the rest is edible.

Again, to not run the risk of errors, here is the link for the picture.

My Blog For An Escape Room-Cybersmart Challenge

Last and this week I did a Cybersmart Challenge that teaches you how to use google forms. You can use google forms for tests and even escape rooms, which are WAY harder.

I wanted to make an escape room as my teacher, Mr Bell shared us escape rooms to try and break to code. For the Cybersmart Challenge slides, there are videos that give you instructions on how to use google forms. Here is the link for my escape room.

Learning how to make escape rooms is hard so start small first!

Cybersmart Challenge

Today I needed to do a blog because we have to post a blog every week. So I went into the Cybersmart Challenges and I found a challenge called; ‘Using Your Webcam’. So I started and I first watched a video since I was using 3×3 grid. It’s called; ‘Rule Of Thirds’, where you have to make the thing or item you want to picture and you need to make it on the left, right, above, or below the middle square. Here are some photos I tried to do;

                                                     

 

I also learned how to make a ‘GIF’ by going to your camera, then, you press ‘video’ and then ‘GIF’. After that, you have to move or do something. This is the emoji I did a GIF about:

Press this link because it won’t work here so I did it in a slide:

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Small Bookmarks

Yesterday I did a cybersmart challenge  about bookmarks where you  could change your bookmarks to be smaller. This is what it looks like before:

Sorry if it is blurry because of  how long it is. You might think that its pretty useless, but it is pretty useful compared to how you need to scroll for a long time.

This is what it looks like now:

Sorry also if it says ‘Bob’, I just did it for fun but you can name it ‘other learning’ according to the video tutorial.

 

 

Learning The Difference If Media Is True Or False

Today we were learning to be observant when we see different media. We also had to think about these things: who made this message, is it true or false and how do people observe it differently? We also went on a site where we would test our levels of observation.

The photo above tricked me because it looked like it was together but the main  areas you should look at are the legs. You should press this link to test your observation and put your answers in the comments and remember to say why you said your answer.
