Holidays and Celebrations!

Hi y’all and welcome back to another blog post! I should probably think of a more creative intro like my friend Ally over here (go visit her blog by the way), buuuutt, I haven’t….yet. Anyways, this week, we are talking about Holidays…and celebrations which you may or may not already know. We had several tasks to choose from and I wasn’t too sure what to do at first, but then I decided to talk about what holidays my family and I celebrate and include some pictures of our favourite traditions… and there may be me making a Christmas craft in there too. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Now, my family isn’t too big on decorations and all that stuff for most holidays, the only one that we go basically all out on is Christmas. For others, we just don’t have enough for or we just forget in general, well, maybe Halloween a little bit, but that’s it.

For Christmas, we also have a few traditions that we have done the past few years or even every year. There’s only really a few though.

One of our main traditions from the past couple years, has been to go visit this place called “Van dussen Gardens”. It is beautiful over there, they have these beautiful light displays all over this park, it’s so big, that it actually takes about an hour to get through everything. Here is what one part looked like last year:

Another tradition that we do is our Christmas stockings, we all have these huge Christmas stockings and stock each other’s every year, a ton.

On Christmas Day, every year for as long as I can remember, we always went to my Aunt and Uncle’s place for dinner. Sometimes, my cousins and their parents joined them as well.

Then, the next day, on Boxing Day, we always have a huge dinner with the entire fam. My cousins are all in their 20’s or 30’s so, the closest cousin I have to my age is eight years old…but it’s great to see all of my little second cousins since they all live in New Westminster and Langley.

Now, for my Christmas craft, I really enjoyed how it turned out. I saw this craft on a website and decided to try it out. You fold a magazine in a certain way then fold them in to make a Christmas tree looking thing. It’s pretty cool!

 

Emojis! 🥳🙈🍿

Hello and welcome back to another blog post! This week is all about emojis! We also had lots of tasks to do this week.

1. Emoji Story Prompt:

The first one was to do a story prompt (I used birdseed.com/emoji), here is mine:

 

Once there was a cat, he ate a cup cake which made him not able to trespass on a movie set so, he had a shower and then he met up with his friend.

2. Emoji Math

⚽️ + ⚽️ = 10

🏀 +⚽️ = 105

🎾 + 🏀 x ⚽️ = 504

3. Emoji Art

Music!

Hi it’s Alex and welcome back to my blog! This week is week 5 of the Student Blogging Challenge where we are talking about Music! For this week we had several choices of prompts of what we could do for this week, I chose to do a video that people have to guess the artist, song or instrument so, here it is. 

I really enjoyed making this and hoped you enjoyed doing it!

See you in my next blog post!

SBC-Week 3

Hello all and welcome to another blog post! This week, we are talking about images; how do we use them? Can’t we just use them on google and take credit for them? No, of course not! Those images belong to people and you could get in some serious trouble for using them. The protection against the people’s images is called “copyright”, this is the same for videos, music and more! Although, this doesn’t make all images copyrighted, you can easily find some non copyrighted images on websites such as, openclipart.org, pixels.com or pixabay.com. If you need an image, you can also make your own, purchase an image, use google images (but be careful, because most are copyrighted) or you can use Creative Commons images. 

Task 1:

Our first task was to create something that would educate others about using the right images. Here is mine:

Task 2:

Next we had to create or take a photo. This photo was from when I went to Italy last summer.

 

Task 3:

Next we had to create task cards, here are some of my favourite things.

Task 4:

For our last task, we did picture prompts. Try to guess the sentence by these images. If you think you know what it is, please comment bellow.

See you in my next blog post!

SBC-Week 2

Hi it’s Alex, back with another blog post. This week, we did week 2 for the Student Blogging Challenge.

The first task we had this week was to create some form of commenting guidelines, click here to see mine from last year.

Next, I commented on three peoples blogs:

First, I commented on Dominic’s blog. I decided to comment on his blog because how found it super interesting how he was super passionate about music and that he could maybe become a musician one day.

Next, I commented on Grace’s blog. She is from …. talked about how she loved basketball and wanted to maybe become a vet one day,  just like me! I commented on her blog because I thought that we had lots in common already!

Next I commented on Niamh’s blog. She talked about her love for Basketball and the band Queen. She also mentioned that she was in 6th grade and going into secondary school the next year. I decided to comment on her blog to talk about what we have in common and that we went to secondary school after grade seven.

 

See you in my next blog post!
