Travels Within Candesia

 Hey bloggers, I can't believe another week of online school has passed! 

Do you like online school or normal school better, I like a normal school because you get to see your teachers and friends actually have social interaction. 

Anyways this week Monday and Tuesday were to create a pick a path if you don't know what that is a story on google forms and you chose what to do and you either die or survive. Ours was about 2 people when they get stuck in a magical land and you have to try and survive, hint the most logical option is not always the one that makes you survive, (you might die). The main characters are called Casper and Alice and Drexuis (he comes in a bit later in the story). 

To do the pick a path I made with my friend Sophia, 

It is called the travels within Candesia

 

Have a really good Friday and weekend, stay safe and happy in your bubbles!!

Catch ya later bloggers.

Scary Sci -fi

  This in literacy we have been doing genre studies this week our main focus was sci-fi doing and we were doing workshops everyday here is a little insight on what we have learnt about sci-fi 

Science fiction or commonly known as sci-fi is a genre, The term science fiction was popularized, if not invented, in the 1920s and contains many sub-genres such as 

Dystopia - utopia 

Time travel 

Parallel universe

Fear of the unknown 

Invasion

Just to name a few.

Other parts that are Related to sci-fi are technology and sci-fi movies technology is way against and more into the future, there a very flash massive cities with the Rich in tall big buildings and the not so fortunate hidden away and little suburbs.  other conventions include robots.  a little story behind this is man makes a robot turns out to be smarter than man robot turns on the machine and takes over the earth. There's always somebody that looks very sinister and the other one who is going to destroy the earth or turn around and betray everybody. 

The task for that day was to write a short science fiction story, here is my story,

My story was on the the big blue picture in the background. I hope you liked it.

Hope you are safe and happy,

Horror Story (and poster)

 Hey bloggers, 

A couple days ago all of New Zealand went into lockdown and today is the first day of online school for us at marshland. One of my tasks today was to write a one-page story about ghosts under the genre of horror. To go along with this our second task had to be a poster to promote the story. Mine was about a boy named Toby Richardson, during he is running from something but in the end, it catches him. For maths, we had some word problems given by our maths teacher. 

Here is my poster, the story is called tales from the dead 

I made this poster on Canva, it was a template and I thought it fit with the theme of horror. Canva is a really cool platform where you can create anything, you can use a template or just have free rein over all the graphics, I have been using Canva for a couple years now and it has never disappointed me, it makes school projects way easier.

Aladdin production 2021

 Hey bloggers,

This week we did a production it was the production of, Aladdin we have been working on this for about 12 weeks and have taken time out of our lunches and weekends to do this, we started this in about week 3 of the term to and it has been a long time coming, there are many songs and lines we had to learn. 

I played the part of Isir along with my best friends in the production they consisted of rajah, mannal and jasmine. To make this clear My role was one of jasmine royal loving and support ladies. My costume was dusty pink flowy pants with a short flowery pink embroiled shirt. My makeup was pink with sparkles along my cheekbones and eyelids.

I along with manal and Rajah had a song it was called these palace walls it was a really cheesy song about going out in the world and finding love it was really chessey , but it was really. 

Here is a photo of me and Jasmine, Mannal and rajah 

 

In the order 

- Rajah- Me (Isir), Mannal, Jasmine

Matriki artwork

 Hey, bloggers at school we have been doing some Matariki art,  

This is mine

This is a printing of the Matariki star cluster; also known as the 7 sisters, Matariki is celebrated on the 2nd of July in 2021. Matariki is the start of the Maori new year and it symbolises new life. The print represents the Matariki stars at the top and Mt cook at the bottom. One thing I could have done better is to be more careful when I was doing my printing so my mountains would come out clearer. If you want to make this here are the steps.

1. You draft your art on a piece of paper remember to do it in reverse so when you print they come out the right way. 

2. With a pen draw your design onto the foam, You have to make sure you didn't dent your foam if you do then it will show up in your print.

3. Chose your colours and if they want to fade or not, you roll the paint over foam all the colours you want,  make sure the ink roller is practically drenched in ink if you want it to show up (otherwise it will look a bit like mine).

4. Once your pant is on the roller press it on paper and use a dry roller to the back and roll to get all the ink on the paper. 

5. Peel the paper off the foam and you're done!!!

I did 2 pieces of artwork and thought my second one looked best, if you want to make a frame you need to get an A3 piece of card and cut out the size of an A4 piece of paper. Then stick it to the artwork. 

 Next time I would I would also put more paint and apply more pressure on the foam so that I wouldn't get white dots. Have you ever foam printed before? Did you enjoy it? I really liked doing this. What colours would you choose? I also liked the coloured blue and purple.

Have a good day bloggers!!

Eggcellent, Egg Dropping (S.T.E.A.M)

Hey Bloggers,

 At school, we started to do STEAM, Which stands for Science, Technology Engineering, Arts and Maths. For our first task, we were challenged to make the egg not crake when we drop it from the mezzanine at our school. We were given a bunch of materials like Paper, cardboard paper, string and 2 bits of long tape. In the end, I think we did pretty good.   

Have a good day, 

Bye bloggers
