CAMP!

 hello during the past two week we have had to write three different things of what we did at camp. WE wrote what we saw heard smelt tasted and felt and added description I hope you enjoy.

A trio of camp tales

Aero Jump

As I rise into the air I can see people behind the gate staring at me and when I look down the trampoline rises up to meet me. Suddenly the huge poles above me catapult me into the atmosphere. I wonder how I don’t fly into space. The feel of the harness holding me in place digs into my stomach. I feel Like I'm flying. Air zooms into my nose as I fly into the sky and fall back down with terrific speed.

The sound of people chatting meets my ears as they wait for their turn but the aero jump is silent. A feel of excitement hits me like a bullet when I complete my back-flip. But it turns to sadness when my ride is finished.

Zipline

At first I'm confident, but it quickly vanishes when I look down. The ground is miles beneath me and everyone is as small as smallish birds. The grass is so tiny I can’t find a stalk. I look up as I try to push down the fear, the forest trees loom ahead of me far out of my reach. People below me chant sacrifice in time with each other. I take a deep breath, trust the gear, and step off the platform. Everything becomes a blur as the smell of pine trees zoom into my nose, I hear a soft zzzzzz sound as the pulley carries me to the end though the wind refuses to stop trying to push me back. The harness holds me in place, even though it's tight I don’t mind. I remember air dancing on my tongue as I reach the end.

Archery

The target ahead of me taunts me as I hold the bow in my hand. I reach for an arrow and I feel a sense of determination come over me. People behind me talk as I concentrate. I let go and watch as the arrow zooms through the air and hits the blue circle on the target. A cheer arises as I stand with pride, a smile fixed on my face

I really enjoyed making these stories and I hope you enjoyed reading them I did. please comment which one is your favorite.

Media

During the last two week for cyber-smart  we have been learning about media which is every way to communicate with others. (to learn more go to uru manuka.) we had to make a online news paper about what we did at camp so that's what we did. I hope you enjoy it and learn something new.

I really enjoyed making this post and others. It was heaps of fun adding little details to the post. I hope you enjoyed What was your favorite part?

Digital Technology

 Today we were doing a hour of gaming (click this link then click the first of the two links it takes you to). Its an site with heaps of different coding games. We could choose what we did so I tried a couple before I settled on a app on how to make a game. My game included a character trying to catch some bags of spicy beefers. The more bags you get the more points you get. These are a few screenshots of my game.

I think I did pretty well and will keep working on it to make it better. 

I hope you liked my post.

have you ever done some coding before?

pixton

 Hey guys today we had to join a few toolkits and one of the ones I joined was one about how to use pixton. pixton is an app you can use to make comics. the people running it told us how to sign in and use the app using a slideshow they made. the sound was a little glitchy but understandable. its an easy to use app for all your writing needs here is the slideshow.

It was very helpful and I soon caught on how to use it. I really like this app and will probably use again soon.  go though the slideshow to use the app yourself.

Tapa Cloth

 Today we have been working on something called tapa cloth. it is a Tongan blanket thingy made from native plants. we read a story about an art teacher that knew the art was fading in NZ and wanted to bring it back so she went to Tonga to learn how to make it and then came back to NZ to make it here. One of the activities we did was pretending we were writing a email to a friend about how to make tapa cloth. this is my email.

I quite liked doing this email. It was fun. I hoped you liked my post. 

have you ever wrote a email? did you like my post?

spectacular Scale

Today we are learning about scale. We had to measure and draw our classroom. the key was 1m = 2.5cm and 20cm = 0.5cm. some people found it hard but I didn't (not to brag of course) This is what I did.

 I learned how to use scale and read it. I liked doing it cause it was fun. I hope you can see it.

Can you scale a room?

what did you think?

Dear Diary

We were having mush When we heard Billy shout 

Batten down the hatches. Which of course means a storm is coming. We leaped of our 

chairs like there was a barnacle under our behinds. The captain started to scream out orders

And then the panic began.

After a few minutes the storm reached us. BOOM lightning hit the mast burstin it ta a 

thousand flamin pisces. Sorry for the bad spellin i’m in a  rush. Now you should know that  

a pirates first fear is fire so now every one was screamin and running all over the place . 

balles o rum were smashing and people were running over licking the ground trying to make

 there last seconds last. The sound of water spashin and trying to put out the

 flames echoed in my ear and I heard the screams of our prisoners as

 the water started to flood into there cell. The cannons had some how gotten lose

 and were rolling around every were. The smoke of fire mixed with the salt

 of the sea as giant waves crash onto me. Oh diary tell me wife I love her. 

Bang lightning hit the ship again and the ship started to sink. People were trying to get the water

 out of the ship by throwing it overboard Im terrified diary Im cold and wet one second and then 

suddenly I sweating from the bonfire The ship was rocking like crazy I heard a scream as billy

 fell from the mast smashing onto the ground. I'm surprised he lasted that long 

on our mast. Suddenly I slip and fall into the giant waves. Goodbye cruel world. Wait no, I'm alive,

 diary i'm alive. I grabbed a barrel just in time as the ship sank behind me. I’m clinging on 

for me life and trying to climb on. Now i'm just 

floating…….floating…….floating….

lesson Toru How to recognize a spam.

 What I know about spamming. They will not have a blog. They will send repetitive comments.They will not know much about a blog. You will have to tell a teacher or parent so they can sort it out.

Here is a link to a video about how to spot a spam Page three of slide deck on the first link..

I have made a book About how to spot a spam and how to start an online conversation on book creator.We did this for cybersmart and you can find a link to the lesson here.

And an easy way to start a conversation is to ask and answer questions.

Click here to view my book.

Here is what the cover looks like.

I have learned more about spamming then I knew before I learned how to spot a spam.

 I really liked using book creator but the pictures on the last page have gone which was frustrating. This is my first book and I hope to make more.

Have you ever used book creator before and if so What did you make the book about?

Portrait Perfection.

Have you ever wanted to do a portrait of yourself on a google drawing but it never looks like you? well I found a way to do it perfectly, well sort of... 

For the past week we have been trying to make the perfect portrait of our self. We watched a video on the cyber smart site and tried our self. click the link to watch the video and see how you do. this is how I went. Its not perfect but it's pretty good. This is what I did. First take a picture of yourself and then trace the different spots of color on your face. After that get a color picker and find the right colors for your face. Later you take away the lines and turn it transparent and fix up things that don't look right. DONE!

 Don't forget there's still the link if you need a better explanation.

Now presenting my Perfect Portrait:

I have realized that I am not good at making self portraits but maybe you are! Give it a go maybe you'll be better then me. I think the hardest part was getting my face color right but maybe next time i'll do better if I can.

My Resources were a Google drawing and a app called color picker click the links to use them.
