Step up your paper so that an object nearby creates a shadow . Trace around it, then if you’d like to colour it in and make a background to go with it. I coloured the butterfly but i didn’t add a background, you can do it if you want.

Lastly for share, I had to take a picture of my art and share it on my blog. I also had to write a comment that tells you what the easiest part was and what the hardest part was.

The easiest part was to draw the butterfly, but the hardest part was to set the angle of the flashlight so the spoon could stay in the right place. I used a tripod to settle my flashlight in the right place. I also had a times lap video to show you.

Here is my picture and the video

Namaste, welcome back to my blog.

Today I am going to show you my part 2 of snakes and ladders. If you saw my kick start activity you would already know the rules but I can say them again. Enjoy the snakes and ladders!

Instructions of the game

Pick your colour, (Red, Blue, Purple, Green )

There is a video of a dice spinning, click on it and stop whenever you like, (The highest roll will go first.)

Whoever is going first they have to answer the question that is at the start.

If you get the correct answer to the question you  play the video of the dice rolling.

If you land on the ladder you go to the top of it and if you land on the snake’s mouth then you go down to its tail.

Here are the steps I followed :

Ako l Learn

1: I watched a video of multiplication and division because the snakes and ladders are going to be one of these options. I can’t share the video because someone is sharing from screencastify and it’s not giving an option share so search multiplication and division videos and practice.

1: Then I had to choose which slide to make a copy of for the snakes and ladders game, I had to choose either from multiplication or division, I like multipiction more so I chose that. I could also make my own on the 2n slide which I did. If you like to go with easy pick there 1st slide but if you want to have a go at mine go to the 2nd slide.

If you think I missed something watch this video.

Here are the steps I followed :

Ako l Learn

1: I watched 3 videos of how to play it, then I watched some practice addition and subtraction, I didn’t watch all of it, it was soooo easy. Then I watched how to make the activity. Video-1 : Video-2 : The 3rd video doesn’t have a link so I couldn’t show it.

Hanga l Create

1: Then I made a copy of the game snakes and ladders, there were 2 templates to choose from, one was addition snakes and ladders or I could pick subtraction snakes and ladders. I chose addition because it would be easier, I know subratio  is easy to but I think people would rather choose addition.
