Merry Christmas

 We were making a letter for the Gisborne Herald writing what Christmas means to me.Once we were finish we had to make a slideshow animation explaining our Christmas letter to the Gisborne Herald. 

I found it fun and easy to copy and edit my slide's because I only had to move my people a little more into the slide.

It was challenging to to make my own people because the shape would come out wrong sometimes when I use polyline or curve.

Next time I will make my animation a little more creative.

Nga tae

 We have been learning what the name of the colours are in maori for Te reo time. Then we had to make a slide show showing different objects of the same colour on slide for an example.

I enjoyed and found it easy to write down the colours in english and maori on each slide show and use curve to make the splat of paint for a background.

It was challenging to think of some different objects for pango/black waiporoporo/purple kikorangi/blue and parauri/brown.

Next time I will be more creative when creating and add more objects to the slide. 

Postcard

For last week Manaiakalani we were making another postcard showing where we were and what we were doing.

I enjoyed and find it easy to find a background of a beach and writing what I was doing because I was explaining what we were doing most of the afternoon and what is happening in the photo.

It was challenging to match the smoke to the bonfire flames  and making the bonfire match the background and the shades of the background colour.

Next time I will find away to make the smoke and bonfire match the photo.  

scamming postcard

In week 3 Manaiakalani we were learning about engineering scam/phishing and what is fake and what is real to be cyber smart safe and to NOT share your password gmail or account with someone you don't know or something pops up on you device. We made a postcard on our slide showing an example.

It was easy to think of what photo I was adding to the slide because I knew what we did this term.

I found it challenging to think of what to right down on my post card because I couldn't think of some words to explain my photo.

Next time I will try not to fluff around to long on editing my photo. 

                                

Adjectives

In Mrs.Barker writing group, We made slideshows showing examples about what is an adjectives.The teacher wrote some words to put into a sentence with adjectives.

It was simple and easy to find 2 adjectives to explain what the object looked like and were it was.

It was challenging to think of sentence's to make my 2 adjective before noun and  paint a picture in the reader's mind.

Next I will try add some descriptive words in my sentence.  

Recount

In Mrs.Barker  writing  group, we did a slide about what to include in a  Recount  writing. firstly we watched a video about what a recount writing is to refresh our brains.Then we put what to include in a recount writing on a slide.

It was easy to think about what to include to our slide  because I had some of the words in my head.

It was challenging to find some places to add my words in to the slide .

My writing gaol this term is to keep re reading my work to make sure it's exciting for the reader.  

Rangi and Papatuanuku story

 In my cooperative group we made a ed book about Ranginui and Papatuanuku on a slide show for maori language week.We first agreed on who is sharing the slide show with our group.Then planned on who is doing what part of the story of in the beginning.After our planning we went straight into work.

It was easy to write my part of the story and doing the background because I new the story well and the part I was doing.

It was challenging to make my writing into my own words and making sure it makes sense and polyline Ranginui.

Next time I will try not to waffle my writing to much and go back to re read it in the first place.
