Kind KOS Poster

 

KOS is a program that is a government-funded program that teaches children how to be safe in any kind of situation where they would be in danger. It teaches them what to do and how to respond to any action someone or something makes. This program has been going on for a while now and is about teaching students a range of safe practices that they can use when interacting with other people, both online and face to face. Here is my poster on some scenarios and what you would do if you were in this situation?  I would call my parents or the police and try to get help if that option was not available. Has this happened to you? It hasn't to me and I am very grateful for that 

 Here is the story. Once you have read it my post will make more sense.   

Have a good day!!!

Lego Portraits

 

Hey Bloggers, this year we did lego portraits. I found it a bit tricky to do this because I don't draw very often. I chose to draw a NASA hoodie because I wear my one a lot at home. I did have a bit of difficulty drawing the shoes but I got there in the end with the help of a teacher.

 The shoes were meant to be Chuck Taylors. Do you think they look like Chuck Taylors? The facial expression was a bit hard to master but I settled on a simple smile.

The hair still looks a bit weird because I used a pencil and it doesn't cover up the template. I choose to use yellow skin like a normal lego person. I did jeans because I usually wear jeans at home and in public. 

I think I could have improved on making the hair more accurate and covering the template, and by choosing a darker colour more suited to me. My favourite part about this portrait is the NASA hoddie because I want to work there someday and it is really comfy. 

Do you have a lot of lego? I do but not as much as my friend, Do you use lego much? I don't but my little brother does, What would you wear as a lego person?   

Anyway thanks for reading,

Bye bloggers!!
