Marvellous Mashup

Kia ora bloggers!

In Literacy we've been making websites based on The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. 

We have to write various things about the book, like the themes, characters, symbols and genre. For themes I chose to write about Language, Power and Absurdity.

Here's my website so far

This has been a really fun and interesting task and although I'm not completely finished yet I'm really proud of what I've done so far! Google sites is really fun to use and play around with.

Recently we've also been looking at Global Issues. We were given art based on different issues and first we had to write down what we thought the images represented, then we chose one and wrote 1-2 paragraphs about it. I chose this drawing of a nurse with a superhero mask.

Have you ever used google sites before? What did you make?

I hope you have a wonderful day, cya!

Incredible Irony Comic - Outside Antics

Zoe's Blog

Kia Ora bloggers!
Yesterday in class we dug a bit deeper into irony. We learnt about three different types of it, dramatic irony, situational irony and verbal irony. We learnt that situational irony means showing the opposite of what you expect to happen, dramatic irony is when the viewers know something the characters don't and verbal irony is when you basically say the opposite of what you mean, usually sarcastic. After that we watched a couple videos and were then challenged to make an ironic comic.
This is me and Zoe's comic, it's situational irony.

Neat Numeracy

 Kia Ora Bloggers!

This week in numeracy we've been looking at some angles and polygons.

 We have been finding the interior angles of a shape and drawing some shapes using a compass that you draw circles with.

Here's some of what I know:

Also, here's some of my work I've done on angles and polygons!

Have you ever used a compass?

Thanks for your time! :)

Spectacular Scientist

Kia ora, Bloggers!

During lock-down our Literacy group had to design and make backstories for a Scientist.

I named my scientist Terry McSkwak and decided to make them a bit crazy.

Brain What thoughts are Circling in his/her head:  
Eyes How does he/she see the world (what is their opinion on the world; any problem in particular)?: 
Mouth A memorable quote from your scientist:
Hand What is the most important thing in the world to this scientist (someone or something they could never lose?):
Heel What is his/her flaw/weakness?: 
Heart What is his/her motivation?  What do they want to accomplish?:
Back What is his/her roots?  Who raised them?  What is their background?:

I drew this on an app called Ibis Paint, and although I made some mistakes, like giving the assistant normal hand and the scientist weird forks and also forgetting to add the back of the lab coat, I'm pretty proud of this drawing and the story I came up with for them.

This was really fun to make, to be honest! I've never really drawn a scientist so it was a bit hard but that just made it more interesting to make.

How would you make a scientist?

Have a nice day!
