26.05.2020


WALT: Make connections, text to world.
For this activity we get to pick a holiday destination and either make a poster about that country or a slide show, I chose to do a poster.

My Weekend!!!

This weekend I was at my Dads! I had a great time. On Saturday my dad bought me a new mountain bike, its so cool!! It Marin brand and is blue with Marin in orange and I also got to pick a pink drink bottle holder. Then on Sunday my dad took me and my sister Olivia to Mcleans Forest for a bike ride. It was so awesome!! There were lots of twists and turns and high hills, my dad and me and my sister were having a great time! But right to the end on pour way back to the car park there was one of the last hills and my sister said ¨See Yaaa¨! But thats what went wrong...... She went to fast and didn´t use her left hand break and fell over and got her leg stuck under her handle bars and some ripped skin on her cheek. Shes fine now but she was really upset:( But other than her falling over we had a pretty good time! I really enjoyed it! Have you ever been mountain biking? Have you ever been to Mcleans Forest?

Back To School!!!

This is our first week back at school since Covid-19 started, for me this is a fantastic week! I couldn´t wait to be back at school with  my best friends Georgia B- Deputy Head Girl and Carma- Yellow House Captain and of course Miss Rogers my amazing teacher! Me and the other Prefects are having to go to stop points around the school to help kids get to their class in the morning and after school.  For our first week back things have changed since we were last a school, etc. We have to sanatize before and after we leave class, our desks are spread out, you can´t be sick at school and not even a sniffle, NO parents are allowed on school site. I´m really exited to be back at school and I hope everyone else is to. Are you exited to be back at school? Is it fun to be with your friends again? 

Information report about Glaucus Atlanticus or "the Blue Dragon

19/05/2020

For this activity we have to learn about a animal of our choice and then write our own information report about that animal.
The animal I picked is Glaucus Atlanticus or "the Blue Dragon".
I picked "the Blue Dragon" because I searched up cool animals and I really liked this one because the shape of it was incredible and the gradations of blue around the body.

My Artwork

For this week I've done some art work. I have done 4 drawings some with crayons pens and even felts. I hope you enjoy! I used the colour wheel and did some hot colours with cool colours, and some contrasting. Enjoy! In the comments, comment which one is your favourite picture!




                                                                                       
1. This is a sihlouette of a women's dress. From the back I did the dress with different shades of blue and green to contrast up against the sofisticated skin colour model. I blended the green and the blue to look like they were blended together. For this picture the dress is coloured in with highlighters and the rest are pencils.







                                                                               
2. This a a sihlouette of a UFO ubducting a slice
 of pizza, I put the words "pick up" in bold
 lettering is because its kinda like when we get
takeways and they say order up this is what aliens do!:) For this particular drawing I used my Artline210 MEDIUM 0.6 pen to make it stand out. I used a lot of dots to make it stand out and look like lights reflecting down and onto the UFO. I put stars around it and tried to put a bit of realisim into this piece.









                                                                           

3. This is a picture that just came to mind it is a globe with continents with roses and the words that are upside down say "Where is my mind?" I wanted to contrast colours, so I made the globe shades of turqoise and the continents a very contrasting pink, with baby pink roses around.










                                                                           
4. This is just a doodle I made up. Its basicly
 when you put  a piece of paper under another
so when you colour in right to the edge it doesn't
get on the surface your working on. I did that a
lot of times with different colours and shade. This
is one of my favourite drawings because its tricky
to the eye and is a pleasent image.

12.05.20 My Birthday

                                                                                           
                                                                 









12.05.20
My 12th Birthday!

Yesterday was my 12th birthday! I was really looking forward to having my first birthday on a school day in the last two years, but you can't control what happens in the world.

My mum knew she couldn't throw me a party or get streamers and what not so she filled my entire office with 100 or more colourful balloons! It was really cool she also made me a nice bowl of porridge for breakfast along with cranberry juice. Following the day I my class sang me happy birthday, it was so funny because they were singing at different speeds.

When my mum got home she started to make a cake, she didn't just make an ordinary cake she made little cupcakes with fondant flamingos and rainbows. Once she made them I headed over to play a game of rummikub with my grandparents, that's when mum came over singing happy birthday! The cupcakes tasted delious but, I didn't win a game of rummikub.

Then my mum headed out to get us dinner, we were having KFC! I love KFC, we got all the important sides. 2 box's of chips, 2 ginormous buckets of mash potato and gravy, 1 big container of coleslaw and a 20 piece jumbo KFC bucket of chicken! It was all so delicous, my nana wants me to eat the last t pieces of chicken for lunch, to bad we finished all the chips, coleslaw and potato and gravy to have with it. :(

For dessert we had our own ice cream sundae bar, previously on Saturday night me and mum made one big batch of vanilla ice cream using, cream, condense milk and vanilla extract. First you whip 600m'l of  cream and make sure its stiff but not to stiff  and in 1 can of condense milk and then add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and let chill in the freezer for maybe a day or two. Enjoy! Well we made 1 big batch of vanilla ice cream but before we put it into the freezer we split it in half so it was 1 plain vanilla and we folded boysenberry's into the other half it tasted delicous! The boysenberry one was like boysenberry ripple. We had lots of lollies and sauce to put on them we had chocolate sauce, caramal sauce and rasberry coulie. For toppings we had sprinkles, tiny nuts, gummie bears, chocolate fish, golden nuggets, pink wafers, sherbet sticks. It was amazing. P.S There's leftover ice cream so we get to have a sundae bar tonight and tommorow.

To finish off the night I got to have a face time with my dad, step  mother my little sisters Sophia and Olivia. They said happy birthday to me and cant wait to see me not this weekend but the one after. Then after I had a chat with dad we had a late night spa! We had the lights on and the jets and were staring at the stars. I had a lot of fun on my birthday. Here are some photos of the day:


                                                                                         




There's a photo of me buried under the 100 or more colourful balloons that mum put in my office------------------------------------------->

money, beauty supplies and girly stuff-------->

We had a spa after dessert. It was so cold and dark outside. We could stare at the stars--------------------->








I had the best birthday ever! Mum said once lock downs over and we can actually do stuff I can have the party I wanted and the original present she was going to give me. Also my dad and step mum said they would take me out to do something as well etc. Going to the gondala by the hills. Thank you mum for throwing me this party and doing the best you could. Love you❤   In the comments tell me what you would do for your birthday if it was during quarintine? Or tell me what you want to do for your birthday?

Day 5: En Pointe




For this activity, please chose your favourite inspirational quote from this website. Create a text graphic using this quote. On your blog, share your text graphic and underneath it, explain what it means to you.

Up above in the right hand corner is my quote "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO FIT IN WHEN YOU WERE BORN TO STAND OUT?  -DR. SEUSS". This quote means something to me because ever since I started i the upper middle syndicate to the seniors I always tried to fit in, because when I was younger if it was dress up day I would dress up and wacky hair day, mufti etc. But growing up I tried to fit in because older kids always made fun of you and judged you. But now I believe in this quote. I changed the original picture with the quote to this.

Day 4: Try Your Own Tapa


For this activity please create your own tapa cloth design. You can draw your design on paper or using a drawing app such as Google Draw. On your blog, post an image (photo or screenshot) of your tapa design and describe what each part of your picture represents (means).

I took the inspiration for the design of my tapa off one of my brothers samoan t-shirts. The t-shirt is a nice blue which I also did for my design with lots of cool shapes and dimentions.




 For my design I made sure I did the thickness 
 of the lines and making it look crisp and sharp
 against the colourful background. There are a
lot of different shapes and directions that they
all go in. I made sure I had the right sizing for
each pattern and I made sure I could fit every-
thing in one place.

Activity 2: Plot Points

for this activity, imagine that you had the chance to write your own movie. What would it be about? Who would be your main characters? What are the important events that take place? On your blog, provide us with a synopsis (overview) of your movie. In particular, tell us the name of your movie, the main events that  take place in your movie and the names of the main characters. 

If I was able to write a movie I would base it on a short story I wrote during this 2020 quarintine. My short story that is the base of the story. 

Creature From the Deep

It came from the sea, calmly at first. An enormous, slithering tentacle slowly oozing its way over the top of the sea wall, exploring the metal and concrete shapes with suckers the size of your front door. Then, as more and more people came, and shrieks and cries of alarmed filled the air, the creature became angry. All hell broke loose................ In an almighty tangle of limbs and water and buildings and people, the beast came violently exploding out of the frothing water. The normally sturdy metal supports of the buildings groaned under the extreme weight of gigantic tentacles crushing them. Panic! Complete panic set in! Everyone wondered. But where had the creature come from? What did it want? How could anybody stop it? There wasn't any time for people to think. Only to run................

For this week I've done some art work. I have done 3 drawings some with crayons pens and even pastels. I hope you enjoy! I used the colour wheel and did some hot colours with cool colours, and some contrasting. Enjoy! In the comments, comment which one is your favourite picture!



1. This is a sihlouette of a womens dress from the back I did the dress with different shades of blue to contrast the black figure with something bright. I had to blend each colour and I started with dark to the top and continue down with lighter blues.

















                       
2. This is a dress I designed. It has a triangle neck     
 line with cherry blossom fabric, but the lining of
the fabric is white. Then the dress is still the cherry
blossom fabric with folds in the side and matching
 pink heels.


















3. This is a picture of a black boring eye, but spurts of colour pop out almost like creativity! I've used hot and cool colours to contrast against the boring eye. The way the colours spurt out it kinda makes a shape of a diamond, I must of done that unconciously.

Day 2: Girl Power


For this activity, we would like you to chose one role model and tell us all about them. What makes them a role model? They can be people you know personally, people you have seen on television or the internet, people you have heard on the radio or people you have heard about from a friend or family member. You do not have to know them personally. On your blog, tell us about your chosen role model. Please be sure to tell us why you think they are a role model.

In he 1950's to the 1960's black men an women were forced to be seperated by everyone else. At this time, there were laws that kept black and white people seperated - they went to different schools,used different toilets and even sat in different parts of the bus. They ate in different areas of a restaurant. This was called segregation. With these type of laws there were many protests against them. Joining these protests was an African American women named Rosa Parks. In 1955 Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Alabama and because of segregation all the seats that were meant for the black people were taken up so she decided she would sit in the white section of the bus. But on one of the stops she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger. This brave action that Rosa Parks did, made history and changed the way that African Americans (people of colour) got treated in America. What Rosa Parks did put every other black advicater out of the books. she did what no other girl/lady would ever think of doing! Rosa Parks changed the way Americans and every other country think about treating others. Rosa Parks is a role model because she was an independent women, speaker for her people and is brave. She was an African American civil rights activist, when Rosa Parks did not give her seat up in Alabama she showed extreme bravery courage and then changed the segregation is today and forever!

For this activity you need to create your own logo. Your logo will reflect the name and what product or service the company sells. You will need to come up with your own company name. Think carefully about what your brand stands for and the product or service that your company sells.

I couldn't decide on just one because I want to be a chef/cook when I grow up and also bake I did a logo for my resturant and one for my bakery. I had to be a bit creative, I couldn't use the link that the technology teachers set up for us so I just had to draw it.








This is my resturant logo. I invision the little bright coloured dots lighting up, and all the black will me metal with bright colours shining behind it.    ---------------------->











This is my bakery logo. I invisioned this logo is neon pink and blue lights.  ------------------------->

Activity 3: The Diary Of Anne Frank

For this activity, we would like you to imagine that you have a -diary. In your diary please write a short story about your most extraordinary day. What happened? You can tell us about the actual event or you can make one up. Its totally up to you! Please be as creative as you can. On your blog post a diary entry about your extraordinary day. Please start your post with the words "Dear Diary".

Dear Diary, today is the last day of the term for the year of 2019. We are all leaving school but in a few hours we will be attending the UMS and Senior prize giving. The prize giving is when the principal and facilty hand out acknowledgements and awards, then at the end the principal tells the students who will be in the prefect team for 2020! I really want to be apart of the prefect team, my desired spot on the Prefect Team is Head Girl. But I will be happy with any position if I get in or not. The suspense was killing me, she calls out the other prefects and I'm so happy for them, my best friends got spots on the Prefect Team, Georgia Barrett got Deputy Head Girl and Carma Harris got Yellow House Captain! Shes about to announce Head Girl................................. GEORGIA SWALE! I'm Head Girl! :). I was so exited, I got a badge a jacket and the privilage of being selected. After the prize giving basically every teacher in the school congratulated me, including some of my closest friends parents giving hugs and saying well done! I ended up getting a photo with the principal Mrs Elley and my super cool and amazing teacher Miss Rogers! When I got home I got gifts and hugs from my grandparents and my mum showed of to everyone about me getting Head Girl at the Christmas party my family holds.  One of the things that I enjoyed was that my dad showed up! He loves me dearly but he doesn't come to a lot of school events. He was super proud of me. On top of getting Head Girl I also got the Values Award from my class! P.S My mother cried so much! Her words not mine :)! I owe it all to my mum for teaching me to do everything you can to reach your goal. She supported me in going out for extra curriculars and school projects etc.  Thanks for listing Diary! :) 

Here are some photos from that night.🌙

Here's a photo of me and my mother --------->
