Legs Legs Legs? – Kick Start

For this activity we needed to design a unique prosthetic leg for Mosha.  A elephant that stood on a landmine losing one of her legs, she was only 7 months old when this happened, people thought she wouldn’t make it but other people came togather to create her a new prosthetic leg.

I used this colours to represent one of the habitats for elephant “African Safari” I also drew siluets of other animals that would normally live there as while.

Legs Tally and More Step It Up

For this activity we needed to research facts about centipedes after making a copy of the Google Draw and answering the questions provided, asnwering questions like “The Māori names for centipedes are” and “Where in Aotearoa are centipedes found?” where very interesting to answer making me think and research alot.

Facts:

  •  They use their front legs as fangs to paralyze prey like insects, and some large species can even take down small vertebrates.
  • They can regrow lost legs, helping them escape predators.
    • They eat insects, spiders, worms, and sometimes larger prey like bats or mice.

Tally kick start

For the Summer Learning Journey our task was to research about centipides and for our kick start activity we answered questions about centipedes and some math questions.

A fact about centipedes is that centipedes have many legs and some have up to 100.

Another fact about centipedes is that centipedes legs can regenerate so if one falls of they can regrow another one.

 

Art in the web – step it up

For this activity we needed to make a web made of paper and a spider also made of paper, first step was to watch a video in order to make a web, next we needed to watch another video explaing how to make a spider out of a toilet roll but we didn’t have any so we made it out paper following the same exact steps.

3 Facts:

  • Did you know spider webs are really strong, sticky nets made of liquid silk that spiders use to catch food, build homes, and even travel.
  • Spider silk is lighter than cotton but stronger than steel and incredibly stretchy, like a mix of steel and rubber.
  • Some spiders eat their old webs to reuse the protein, saving energy and getting nutrients back.

SLJ Critter

For this Summer Learning Journey activity we needed to create a animal (Hybrid) using our creativity and imaginary, our animal is a hybrid of a chameleon, tortoise, leopard and elephant and we’ve named it Lepeteleon.

The abilities from the leopard grants speed up to 58 km per hour, a shell from a Tortoise giving it a strong armor for protection. Also the powers to camouflage with it environment/surroundings from the chameleon and lastly the strong legs from a elephant.
