Camp presentation

Last week my class (rm 8) and rm 7 went to our class camp at Coopers Beach christian camp. It was a really fun experience that i loved. this slide is a compilation me and stveie made showing all of the activitys we did. At camp I think my favourite activity was the water slide, at first it was a bit scary but with each turn it became more fun, I can't really think of my least favourite activity as they were all very enjoyable. Have you ever been on a school/class camp?

how to make an origami frog.

WALT: Write a piece of procedural writing stating how to make an origami animal, I chose too make a frog.
Overall this was very easy, I like making the origami and watching people follow my instructions.
It was a bit boring but still fun too do.
Next time I would make my instructions easier to follow. 
Do you like origami?

Refugee Animation

After finishing our refugee tasks and book. Our class had a choice to make an animation, comic etc about refugees and some of the challenges they face.
I made an animation, It is not like others because I used many slides while only moving the figures slightly. This makes their moment more smooth and life like. I didn't really enjoy coming up with a story line for this animation as I found It hard to make one that will not take to long.
Do u like making animations?
Have you ever tried making animations like this?

Group work-Staying safe during the pandemic

LI: To create a resource to remind our peers how to keep themselves safe during the corona virus pandemic.
I thought that this was OK. I personally prefer working by myself but this was still fun to do, I like making slides like these and sharing them with the class.
The girls I worked with are, Kayla, Bindi and Manahuia.
How are you keeping yourself safe during these times?
Do you like working in groups?

Covid-19 Time Capsule

WALT: In covid-19 isolation, design a time capsule to share with the class. 
I thought that making this presentation was actually very easy and fun, the only thing I did not like was the stress of having to present it to the class. 
Have you ever made a time capsule?
are you still in isolation? 

Hatupatu and the Bird Woman Maori Legend

WALT: finish the tasks that came with the story Hatupatu and the Bird Woman.
The book Is very interesting, I enjoyed reading it along with the other legends we read about.
I think It is very Important that I read these legends because then I get to know about the story's that have been told through generations of New Zealanders.
Do you agree or Disagree with what I wrote?
What Maori Legends have you read?

Today's Writing

Today I wrote a short story that continued on with a pobble Whaea Dom sent our class.
I enjoyed writing this story, It only took me a short amount of time to write and edit. 
Do you like writing?

Story Starter:
She had been tracking the deer. Her parents had taught her how.One hour before, finding the hoof prints in the soft earth, she had followed the trail of broken twigs and occasional nibbled leaf until she had located it. Creeping slowly and quietly, not making even the slightest sound, she remained undetected.She had stumbled across the mysterious circles in a clearing in the forest, and watched as the deer approached them. With a slight twitch of its ears, the deer stepped indifferently through the first circle, and vanished. Completely vanished.The girl let out a gasp, and walked towards the circles to investigate…

My writing:

Her father always warned her not to go into the circles….thick vines growing in  unnatural ways. The young deer’s eyes looked empty, like glassy black pools of nothingness staring into my soul.  But yet there was something about the magical creature that I wanted to follow. I felt it was leading me. Maybe I was being foolish, But I took a deep breath. And took a step forward

Drawing in isolation

Now that there are four weeks off school. Our teacher sends us work and activity's we can do to keep ourselves entertained. One of the activity's was to follow a drawing tutorial, I did this one on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCsGIwSjLWw
