Bob Ross's Creation! (Not Really...)

This term, in kete, we have been making street arts! But it had to be a cultural one. We also had to choose a quote, but I had to plan my art first. So I though I will going to make an ocean with rubbish that fish are eating and dying.. Then I got the quote "We Don't Want To Live In Trash, So Stop Making It One..." Afterwards, I had to start my rough draw. It wasn't really the best but it was just a bad copy, then time to do the good copy....

First I made an ocean where the boat will go in, secondly I searched boats in Google to find the perfect boat for the drawing. I then tried to copy the boat and also placed a gigantic fish on the sail. Afterwards, I made a little bit of rocks on the edges and then colored the ocean, rocks and the boat… But I thought that I could put more things beside the boat because there were still lots of space, so I made a giant sunset. After that, I drew some fishes and some cans, paper, all kinds of rubbish that I could think off. I also drew a coral in the rock just to have a little more details. Now I had to make the sky orange and a bit black, because it was a sunrise and it took so long to finish. But I have finally finished and I was quite proud of myself. Then of course my hands were tired...

I chose this message because I have heard that people throw their rubbish in oceans, or just leave it in streets, some causing it to float to the ocean. Fun Fact! I also just have found out there are 100,000 marine creatures died from plastic! It shocked me and I think also the other people that have found this message. But this is why I chose that message. But I hope you enjoy. Bye!

Finished Product..?

This term, we have been making "Drawstring bags," but we are still working on it. It would probably take 1-2 more weeks because there are lots of things we have to do, before doing the actual bag. We also just finished making our pockets. It didn't really turn out that I wanted it to be, but it was okay because I could still fit things that I need to put. But I will put some pictures of the bag I placed the fabric on the top so you won't see it but I will still share the picture, hope you enjoy!

Stuff To Know About The New Zealand Crest!

This term in our "kete" we have been learning about the New Zealand Flag, Athem and Crest. Our form teacher had to put us in groups. I was put in the Crest group. I was with Tyler, Tehya and Nykachia. At first I didn't really know what the Crest meant but our teacher explained it to us. After that we now had to do our plan for our crest, we just did questions for the crest like "how was it made." Then we all put it in the slide and answered all of our questions. We did lots of researching, and I really enjoyed reading some facts about it and I actually didn't even knew some of it. I have made 11 question for my group to share.

My group and I, think that we have done a really good work on our slide and I think that you will learn lots of it. Like that the New Zealand Crest is actually redesigned. There are lots more of things that we didn't put in our slide because we didn't have that much time and I thought that I thing it would be boring if  I made the very long. But anyways I hope you enjoy and I hope you learnt something Bye!

How To Make A Very Successful Vlog

This term in cybersmart, we have been creating a DLO of how to make a successful vlog. But first we had to be in pairs. As always I always go with Axle. You might be asking why? I always work with Axle because it is very easy for us to work with. Because we can sort things out very quickly and we don't get any problems. However back to the vlog, after we have been into 2 pairs we now had to make a DLO of how to make a successful vlog. Afterwards we have finished the video, it was a little bit bad because Axle and I haven't made a DLO for a long time now.  Although at least we finished and now I have a new goal, Make DLO's a little bit better. Still Axle and I were very happy with it as the teachers. But anyways I will put the video down at the bottom for the video. Bye!!

Making Drawstring Bags!

This term we are in "Technology," and we are in soft materials. Our teacher is Miss Laycock. We have been making lots of cool things here, like a tissue holder, and we used beads to make any thing we wanted so I chose a cobra. Now we are making a drawstring bag! I'm really exited for it to be finished, and I can't wait to show it to my parents. It was a little bit hard to do but Axle, Lars and also the teacher helped me, and also others. I also can't wait to do other actives here and the other things that are here in technology... Here is a picture of my creation. But it was really hard to take a picture of it so it won't be that clear. But I hope you enjoy! bye!

Athletics Day!

Last week on 2nd of March, we had athletics day. In Athletics day we did lots of sports, we had to choose what side we are going to play in. There were 2 different ones "Social" and "Competitive" I chose competitive, but if you don't know what social and competitive means I will explain it to you. Social means that you still do sports but you are not versing like other people that are really good on that activity, so that you have a chance to get better at that activity or sport. Competitive means that you are versing people that are really good or they really knows how to do that sport or activity. So that what the mean.

But then we had to choose what kind of activity we are going to do. I chose 100m run, 60m run, Discuss, Long Jump and High Jump. I didn't do shotput because it was really hard for me. Then the on Friday, March 2 It was Athletics! We had to wear something that is our house colour. House groups are big groups of student it all different rooms in HHS. There were 4 of them, Lewis (Blue), Shelford- (Green), Setu (Red) and Turner (Yellow) I was with my brother in Turner. 

Then we had our Athletics, my first activity was Long jump, I didn't do that well in Long Jump but I think I came 12th-13th. Next activity was High Jump I think I did good in high jump with the place of 6th or 7th. But I got really scared because It was getting really high and I might get an injury but I kept going. Afterwards we waited a really long time to do the 100m run, and I was a bit worried that I might trip on the start so I removed my shoes and socks. But it also helps my feet to get lighter and not heavier.  I was also scared because the sport teacher had a small gun with paper as it bullet and it was really loud. I also versus-ed really fast people but in the end I came 4th. But then I got really weak and felt like I was melting so I went to my brother and grabbed my credit card and brought an "Ice Cream" on the Tuck shop but I din't notice that the 60m run was starting so I was too late. But then we had to wait a lot more time to play discuss so I noticed that the E-Sports meeting was now so I went. After that I saw my friend playing basketball and also my brother and his friends. So I played with them. Next my friend and I didn't notice the time but the discuss has finished. So it was a really bad disaster for me, but I felt fine because playing basketball made me so tired... So that's how my Athletics day went, I will also put a picture here for you to look at.. But I hope you enjoy! Bye!

Sailing Into The Bermuda Triangle! (Soike)

Welcome back! It's Vann. Do you remember me? I am now a year 7! Yes! Last week all the year 7's went sailing. Like We did last year in HPS, but now I am in HHS and I missed HPS. We rode a bus to get there and the other year 7's went in the double Decker bus. The destination was not that far away. I was sitting with Axle. Also we were laughing like crazy people. Then suddenly we arrived into our destination. The instructors told the teachers to put us in groups.

There were three groups, group 1, group 2 and group 3. I got into group 1 with Jullien and Gerald and lots more. But they were the only one I know. Afterwards the instructors told us to go at our groups and then they told us to get our boat and sit back down. The instructors gave us really long instructions but it was for our safety. Next they said that we had to make a group of 3 - 4 so we went to a group. I was with Jullien and Gerald, then a someone showed up and joined our group and we were now a grou of four. We were all Filipinos which was easy so we can communicate a lot easier. So we started building our boat, it was a little bit tricky because 2 of our group didn't know what to do, so Jullien and I were the only one that knew what to do because we did this last year in HPS. After that we finally finished our sailing boats... Then we sailed along in the lake.

We had to help others to get off the boat because you had to balance the boat so your boat doesn't flip over... Also there was a time when we can swim in the lake and it was really deep and really hard to swim because we had life jackets on. Then I said to Jullien and Gerald. To look down, and we looked, we started panicking because it was really deep and there might be some alien creatures like a mermaid or something below so we started going back...  Then we sailed again and again. After that it was to time to change back in our clothes. It was really hard to change because there were no doors. Then we went back HHS and said thank you to the instructors. Next it was our time to go in the double Decker bus. Then we went back to HHS and I really enjoyed it and I was really tired... But that's all the things that happen and I hope you enjoy! See you next time!
