12 Kiwi days of Christmas!

 

Today we were making our own version of the 12 days of christmas! I was in a group with Mercedes, Kehia, Tuturi and Whare! So basically we rewrite the 12 days! The theme we went for was funny and kiwi things. If I made my own version I probably would have made it more kiwi like and less funny but that's fine.

So... Today we learned about rewriting the 12 days of christmas and making it kiwi like first we read a kiwi version of the 12 days of christmas and then we listened to a song on youtube of the kiwi 12 days of christmas.

I enjoyed coming up with some ideas even though I only got to do one, but still I liked coming up with ideas that I could use maybe if I ever did this again! I also came up with the idea of the six pavlova because I thought it sounded cool.

It was challenging to find a background that was not blurry so the slide looked tidy, also there were not many options for the backgrounds because we had maori words and google did not really understand.

I found it easy to get our brainstorming done quickly because all we had to do was think of some things that relate to new zealand and being a kiwi and also some funny things.

Next time If I made my own version I would make it more about new zealand and add less funny things because some of the things did not really make sense.

My Media Graphic!

We were learning about whats real and whats fake like last time and also about making graphics since most of us did not know how to make a graphic or know what a graphic is. 

I enjoyed looking for quotes by famous people that I know also I did not know who Aristotle was until I saw his quote.

I found it challenging to find an image of him because I was not sure if they were real or not because I did not know who Aristotle was.

I found it easy to peace together this because all I needed to do was find a image, a background and put the quote in.

Next time I will make the google drawing look more eye catching.

 

Art Colouring Book!

 We were learning about summer learning journey and then we did one of the activities which was to go on art colouring book which is were you colour something like a famous painting or a google location.

I enjoyed going on art colouring book because it's creative and I like to colour things and draw things.

I found it easy to choose a picture that I like and colour it quickly and get the task done. 

I found it hard to sort of colour some things because it would change colour of other things I would not want to colour.

Next time if we ever go on art colouring book I will choose more of a challenging picture to colour.

  

My Cybersmart Learning This Year (Ft My Group)

 

This year in Cybersmart we have been learning about so many tools and skills and even some mindset work when we are learning about how to use scratch and about using code blocks, that's how I learned my scratch skillset. I also learned about commenting positive things on other peoples blogs. That's my mindset.

Some of my favourite things that I've learned to do include doing scratch and animation with coding, I cant imagine what they do in intermediet.

Some of the things that have been the most challenging are doing screencastify because its always noisy around me and most of the time the sound comes out wrong but I still sort of liked it.

Some things I wish we had learned about that we didn't, or learned more about are 3D animation studios for example there is a 3D animation studio called blender that I would have liked to learn about but scratch was pretty close to that.

When we made our review, I was thinking about maybe restarting because we made a few mistakes but we ended up keeping it.

What is special about christmas?

 Today I learned about writing a letter because normally in our class we don't write letters so this was pretty fun and creative, you also may be wondering... "Who was the letter for?" Let me tell you! So our class is in a competition and the best writer for a "What is special about christmas?" writing.

I enjoyed publishing it again onto a google slide. Because it was fun to do fonts and stuff.

It was sort of hard choosing a colour for my writing because it blended into the background so you could not read it.

Next time I will make my slides more interesting and eye catching.

What is special about Christmas? (Scratch Animation.)

This week I used scratch! 

I learned about using coding for my what is special about christmas writing because after we wrote our writing we got to get creative and make something about our writing like my scratch animation.

The thing I enjoyed the most was when I made the bear show his cousin his present, it was kind of fun to code that part.

The part that was challenging was when I had to code the ending because it glitched and then I had to restart the end.

Next time I will make the animation less complex because that took up a lot of time.

Fireworks Poem.

 

Do you celebrate guy fawkes?

Today I learned about creating a acrostic poem! At first I did not know what that was and when I looked at the example poems it seemed pretty easy.  It's technically having a certain word like my key word was bonfire. Then you write words or sentences that go with the letters.

I enjoyed making my poem, it was super easy and really fun. I also want to make more with other words instead of words that have to do with fireworks and stuff.

The challenging part was when I had to find words for O and E, I didn't know what words would go there I thought about the letters for a bit and came up with... "Orange, blue, yellow, green." And "Epic shapes and smells." I think I could have thought of something better for E though.

The easy part was publishing this onto a google slide, it was easy because all you do is copy your poem and then put it in a slide. Super easy. I also found that finding fonts for my words was easy because all you have to do is search through your fonts, try a few, and then when you find the perfect one you use it.

Next time I will probably use a better background since mine was a little plane and then I will add more fireworks in the background too.
