SLJ Aquatic Animal – Kick Start

Today I was to choose an Aquatic Animal to draw.  I chose one of my favorite Aquatic animals a sea turtle.  They are one of my favourite because there is so many cool facts about them, unfortunately even though they have been around since dinosaurs they are becoming extinct due to water pollution – like plastic, being caught in fishing nets and predictors.  Humans need to make changes fast to save turtles from extinction.   NZ has 5 of the 7 species of turtles in our water.

SLJ Mosaic Art – Step It Up

I gave the step it up Mosaic Art a try.  It was my first time using Canva so my big brother helped me to get started.  Here is what I made to show the African Big 5 Marine Life.

If I could be anyone of these animals I would be an African Penguin because I love penguins and the African Penguin does not live in cold climate like other penguins so I would be able to still do my favorite thing of playing in the beach.

SLJ Te Mara o Tangaroa: He Taumata Anō

I was not able to create a Terrarium so I re created my Turtle Island.  I made this turtle Island for my school pet day miniature garden but I still have it set up I just had to re add the House and turtles as I was using them for playing with.

I made the house with popsical sticks and the roof with coloured ones.  The fence top and bottom are popsical sticks and have thin sticks between them, I used the same small sticks for the camp fire.  I used a LOT of Hot Glue.  I then made the garden out of old rocks from our fish tank and planted some flowers and then made a miniature garden with small succulents.

 

SLJ Mosaic Art – Kick Start

I was to make a Mosaic Picture on Google Draw of one of the “Big 5 Marine Life of Africa “.  The big 5 of Africa Marine Life are: the great white shark, the southern right whale, the bottle nose dolphin, the Cape fur seal, and the African penguin. I chose to do an African Penguin.  Here is what I made.
