The Extremely Fun Kawa of Care

For the past couple of weeks we have been re - learning the Kawa of Care and making a poster, animation, powtoon or a comic  to tell other people about the Kawa of Care, I chose to do a poster. The Kawa of Car are the  rules for your chromebook so it won’t be broken or that no one will be able to get in your account, it is really important to use the Kawa of Care. One of the rules is don’t eat food or drink by your chromebook because the water and food will get in the keys and make them not work anymore. The easy part was writing the Kawa of Care facts that I had chosen and the hard bit was to choose the background for the poster. I learnt that you have to use the Kawa of Care so your chromebook will never end up broken or having something bad happen to it. Have you used the Kawa of Care before?

The Extremely Fun Wonder Project

For the past couple of weeks in Te Ngahere there's been two people coming in to explain what the Wonder Project is. Their names are Troy and Gustavo, Gustavo is an pomology and Troy is an rainwater engineer. The Wonder Project is when you learn about rockets and you also launch rockets in the process. We have been learning the safety rules of launching a rocket and what you’re supposed to do when you launch a rocket. One of the safety rules is that when you launch you don’t run, you walk, another one is that you have to be wearing your vest, eye protection and a helmet. The rocket is going to be made by two 1.5 liter bottles, cardboard and some decorations so it’s different from the others and you don’t get mixed up with the the other people Have you ever launched a water rocket before?

Our Incredible Movie Making

For the past two weeks in Te Ngahere we have been making three minute movies,  because soon there is a film festival at the Cathay Cinema and our school has been asked to make some movies for us to share with some other schools. I’m in a group with Ayanda, Ebony, Fern, Grace and myself. We have almost finished our script, but we have got all the locations and the other things you need already done. This week we are filming the actual three minute movie. The part that made me think hard was when we had to choose the camera angles for each part and I still think we could improve it as well by using different camera angles every scene. In this I think I learnt how to use the camera angles in the right parts of the movie. Have you ever filmed a three minute movie before?

Our Incredible Mosaic Art

Last week we started to do some mosaic art. Most of us did it on our chromebook but some of us did it on paper. I did mine on my chromebook because I thought it would be easier. We used the tool polyline on google drawings. We did heaps of art on our chromebooks in lockdown for the ones that wanted to do work, I think it’s better than doing it on a piece of paper. The easy part was getting the photo and the hard part was doing the actual mosiac art and using the polyline tool. Have you ever tried mosaic art? Do you know what mosaic art is?
