Whetu Challenge

 Last week for whetu challenge we had to make a slide animation. for my animation, I did the titanic. When you o slide animations it is a bit hard because you have to make a lot of slides and make the images move very slowly. When we finished making them we had to show them to our learning constellation doc and vote what one you thought we should show to the class. When we voted Jolie won and she made an octopus finding treasure.  Here is my animation. (Press the arrow going right fastly)

Chapter Chat

 This week for Chapter chat I made A guitar case that Frank gave ross since he is playing the guitar. The guitar case was one of frank's that he used when he was in a band called Ripe Sponge ( weird name I know) For the case frank had spray painted one side of it orange so I painted some cardboard black and put some orange paper on it. And then I

drew some rock things on some paper to make the stickers he got when he was out rocking. 

My Animal report

For a couple of weeks, we have been researching different types of animals. I have been researching the vaquita and this is a report all about the animal.  It took me a while to think of what I should put on there so I put lots of things on. Here is a link to my report. 

Whetu Workshops Term 2/3

 During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been Daning and science. I liked doing the dancing because dancing is one of my hobbies and you learn what types of dance styles there are and dance moves. Liked science because you can learn all sorts of things like if you put vinegar and baking soda together it will have a bigger chemical reaction then lemon juice and baking soda. 

The new learning that I have learned is that if you mix vinegar and milk together it will make a chemical reaction and the milk will stick together. 

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops is science, dancing, drama, origami because they are all so much fun and you can learn a lot more skills that can help with school and life. 

 I am interested in learning more about science because there is so much more to learn in science. 

My Art

 For the past couple of weeks, I have been doing some POP art. Pop art is when you use really bright and bold colors that stand out so for my art I  did some of the foods I like. We used a thing called a color wheel to help us with what color goes with what. For the pizza and the don't I tried to do the drip effect but I think it turned out ok. 

My Inqiury

 For the past couple of week's we have been researching about should animal's be kept in zoos?. We had to research the pros and cons of zoos to see if the zoo if good for the animals or not. We were working in our learning constellation groups and I and Jolie were looking for the cons and we saw that  Hamilton zoo didn't have any because they wanted to make their zoo look good so they can get visitors. When we where near the end of completing We had to come up with a way to present out learning so I made a static advertisement. In my ad, I put in my opinion if animals should be kept in zoos or not. I made my ad look as realistic as possible so I added some pictures of animals and a zookeeper. 

Cross country 2020

 This year for the cross country we couldn't go out to south farms because it was to muddy at the farm and because of COVID so we did it on the track instead. For my age group, we had to do 2 big laps and 1 small lap but when I was on my second lap I forgot to do the third so I went down the finish line and came 4th but then I had just realized that I forget the third lap so went to the teacher and told them what happened but I would rather tell them then lie so then after I got a token for honesty. After I got a nice juicy warm sausage wich was nice. In training before cross country, I tried my best and ran my hardest, and when it was the cross country day I think my training paid off. 

Chapter Challenge

This term we have a new book called Wink. The book is about a boy called Ross Moloy who has rare eye cancer. For the tasks, we could pick make, create, vocabulary, and write I picked write because I love writing and It looks interesting. for waiting we had to right what ross writes in his diary. I wrote about himself his family, his friends, and all the other stuff you do in life. I tried to make My diary look as realistic as possible. For the cover, I made it out of cardboard because most dairies have hardcovers and most covers are a bit hard. I had a few pagers to write in and I wrote a lot of things that ross does and happens in his life I also made his very own ben and bookmark so the bookmark helps to know where he is at in his diary for the pen I used one of my old pencils. 

Whetu Challenge Cartoon Characters Creation.

This week for Whetu challenge me and  My learning constellation group all made some cartoon characters from Peppa pig. What I found difficult was doing Suzie's hands because in the show their hands are quite tiny so they were a bit big. What I found easy was making Suzie's dress because I have made a few dresses before. I was trying to color Suzie's face but I couldn't so I left in but the background where I was making Suzie was white. 

Vaquita Reserch

This week I did some research on the Vaquita dolphin. We had a choice of the Cheetah, Sumatran Rhino, Spix Macaw, VAQUITA, Yellowfin tuna (Yellowfin tuna 2), Hectors Dolphin, Poison Dart Frog, Red Panda, The Galapagos Pink Land Iguana. But I chose the vaquita. I chose the Vaquita because I have never heard of it and it looked interesting so I researched it. I found some interesting things along the way.
