Kupu Badge

 This week we created a very cool Kupu Badge for Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori. It could've been more artistic.

I liked all the different colors. Next time I could maybe see if I can add shade. I can also try and make it bigger.

  

Kupe and the Giant Wheke Rampage!

 Week 1 we had to do Kupe and the Giant Wheke, I finished the writing and the slides within a couple of days but Mote the app we use to speak into and then it becomes a audio didn't work so I finished it in week 2. It was challenging writing but the slides were easy. Next time I could try and speak faster because I had to make 2 of each slide to fit my reading in. I think I did really well and I was pleased with myself. Down below is the slides and a link.

New Zealand Map Perfection!

 Before we begin click here to see my work.

Busy with inquiry, we have been is what Yoda would have said. We made our very own teeny tiny maps of Aotearoa. Anyway, let me start telling you because this is enough intro.

The purpose of this was to learn more about Aotearoa. I think I did pretty well considering I only used shapes. It was really challenging for me to do it but, I got it thanks to Angus (thanks Angus). I could improve more by adding more islands and detail. I definitely enjoyed this task. I could've improved by making more texture but, it is what it is. Anyway thanks for reading my blog!

Te-Ika-A-Maui

 Te-Ika-a-Maui is the story of how Maui pulled a fish out of the water which became the North Island. I will stop explaining here because I created my own wonderful slides of the story, which I will show to you at the end of the blog. The most challenging part was to write the story in my own words. It took me a couple days but I got it in the end. I enjoyed making the voices for the slides, but I struggled with some words. Next time I could try to talk more fluently. I could also try and get more sounds into my slides. Take a closer look at my slides! 

Writing Sample Madness!

 Wow! Last week was such a busy week with Ultimate Frisbee, Writing Samples, and much more. We were tested on the 16th of June (Last week). It was really challenging to write it. But yesterday we put it into Write That Essay and I got my feedback to 98%. It was stuck on 98% and really frustrating to get it higher. Next time I could use more sentences types and try to use less exclamation marks. I also started repeating sentences in the introduction. Anyways, with all that said, look at my writing by clicking this link. Below is some screenshots of before and after.

Jughead comes to life! (Almost)

 This is my new character named Jughead! He's in progress because it took me a really long time to polyline it all. Next time I should zoom out more and then polyline, because doing it zoomed in takes longer to trace but looks less bumpy. I should also make it look more round instead of so bumpy because it delivers a better look. I should also do it faster because I run out of time everytime. I could improve on is to make it seem more realistic. Overall I think I did pretty well. I also think it's my best polyline character I've done yet. It was challenging to polyline it and very painful but I'm surprised I made it this far!

 

Top Shortcut for All! (In my opinion.)

 Another blog post done! This time I will share with you some learning we did in Manaikalani digital dig.

In this activity we were doing a digital  dig and this poster was to share a top shortcut we learnt. I think I did a good job with the backgrounds and text fonts. Next time I should try to get the poster to catch people’s eyes better. I also think I can improve by making the writing longer.

Here's the poster so you can see it for yourself!
