My Haiku Poem - Tyrah

 For this activity, I had learned what a Haiku Poem is. A Haiku Poem is traditionally a Japanese poem and they use three short lines using syllables. The most common numbers they would use for their poems are 5,7 and 5.

I loved doing this activity because I never knew what a Haiku poem was until now. I love writing poems but sometimes, they wouldn't come out as I wanted them to. But this poem makes me smile because it is about Summer. Summer is the best season to spend time with family and get to know them more. Especially in the Holiday season! 

Which one doesn't belong? - Tyrah

 For this activity, I have been doing "Which one doesn't belong?"

This was a fun activity to do because it was like a game to me. It was easy for me because I pictured it as if it was the game "What's the difference?" and I think I got it all correct. But other than that, I enjoyed doing this activity.

Writing Chorus lyrics - Tyrah

For this activity, I have been writing Chorus lyrics.

I loved doing this activity because singing is one of my talents and one of the things I am personally good at. I was more of a singer than a song-writer but when I did this activity, it inspired me to write songs of my own in the future and probably sing them live. Although, this activity was a bit hard for me because I honestly didn't know what to write. But then, I remembered a song called "Let me love you" by DJ snake and Marshmallow and I wanted to change the lyrics of the chorus a little bit to make it into an inspiration kind-of of chorus. 

Te Reo Maori - "What are you doing today?" - Tyrah

I have been learning how to say "What are you doing today?" and "I am going to the playground" in Te Reo Maori. 

 I loved doing this task because last year, we did a fundraiser for an orphanage in India and to encourage the nation's language, I had memorized 100 words in Te Reo Maori and I got it all correct and were able to raise a bit amount of money.

Optical Illusions - Tyrah

 I have been learning about Optical Illusions. Optical Illusions come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The 2 common colors people use when they're drawing their own Optical Illusion are black and white(sometimes grey). The 3 most common shapes they use for Optical Illusions are squares, circles, and hexagons. People put in other shapes or the same shape inside of the shape and make it look 3D but it's just an illusion. 

I enjoyed doing this activity and I loved creating my Optical Illusion! Reflecting on my learning and publishing my work on the web helps me to understand my work more and encourages me to make my work even better than before.

My Koru - Tyrah

I have been learning about a beautiful and well-made creation by God called a Koru. I learned that a Koru is a symbol of Creation and that is used often in Maori Art. I put in some of my traditional cultural patterns in my Koru that I drew.

This activity was a bit tricky for me but I still enjoyed doing it.

The Practical joke about the missing teeth - Tyrah

I have been learning about how this story is all just a practical joke on a tackle shop owner. The couple in this story had tricked him about his missing false teeth. When I share this to my blog, it helps me understand more about what is happening in the story and what I have learnt.

This story was a little bit tricky because I kind of didn’t understand the story at first. But as I read the story a lot and got help from my family, I started to understand it more.
