Why I Am Making This Post

Why I Am Making This Post

Why am I making this post? You may wonder. Well my teacher Megan Nelson-Latu has taken away my design for my game for matua. She has taken it away because I became obsessed with it. So I am making this post for her so that she will maybe give it back. 

THE EXCUSES

1. I really am happy because I love drawing and I really want to get it finished.

2. I don't want to get in trouble with matua. 

3. Because drawing is awesome

4. So that we can start building the game

5. because we are making a board game and the paper is an essential piece of the game 

So Dear Megan Nelson-Latu can I please have my design back?

Get NZ Writing

NZ Writing

Through out 20-26/03/19 we made some poems for another school and the other school that is somewhere in Auckland also made us some poems. Some people like me had to do two poems because there was too many. The two items I used were a key and a pink teddy bear. we got to colour the back and I coloured mine rainbow. We had to use this website that we used to get our words for the poem and  a thesaurus, to help us find interesting descriptive words. We had to get an anagram which is a word that is made into other words. We used the thesaurus to find synonyms to put onto my poems.  We also made a whole class poem.

The package was sent on Tuesday the 26/03/19.

Wellington Trip Review

Wellington Trip Review

On the 14 of March we went to wellington to see three shows as part of the Capital E Festival of the Arts.

WOLFGANG'S  MAGICAL MUSICAL CIRCUS

GABEZ

TROLL

These are the three images from the shows but I'm talking about two of them. I'm going to talk about  TROLL which was made by Trick of the Light Theatre and Wolf Gang made by Circa. 

The first one was about a boy with depression and got cyber bullied and a grandma who was slowly dying. The grandma didn't really like anyone but tried helping the boy by telling him to open and used a troll as an example to overcome his depression and ended up opening up to his sister Erika. I thought it was sad that the grandma died but I liked it that the boy overcame his depression. I don't think anything needed to improve because it was already at its best. 

The second one was about a woman who was having a birthday and made music with a man who also made music the man ended up balancing on 4 bottles a chair another and a another all which was on top of each other. I really enjoyed it because it was funny and humorous with a man in a squirrel suit and a musical instrument that he played throughout the show. I thought it was really cool how the lady could lift the man so high. I don't think they have to improve on anything because it was too cool already. 

The Makey Makey Workshop

On 27/02/19 me and my class MNL went to the Maori land shop and learnt how to use the makey makey and Kidscoin that we are going to use this year. We first watched a video of Kidscoin and how it works. After we got into groups and made a carrot piano and a paper controller. I was originally with Nicky, Niko, Tairua, Te Wano but I changed and went with Louis. We didn't have much time to make ours because we had to start over again. We had to make something out of aluminium foil and cardboard. 

Me and Louis made a pool and I did the voice over using scratch and wired the stuff together so when you are touching a certain wire you can activate the voice over by touching the pencil. In the makey makey you use a USB to connect the chrome book to the makey makey. There was a hole where you put the wire and connect it to the creation then when you did that you had to connect a wire to yourself so that when you touched the pencil it started the voice over.
