Remake of Statue of Liberty

Today for Manaiakalani, we got to colour in famous art pieces. I coloured in the Statue of Liberty and used all the colours I saw. It was easy to colour in the different parts of the painting. I enjoyed randomizing the colours on it.

My New Neighbors

 

I got home and looked through the window to see my new neighbors. I was shocked at the sight. They were cats with human bodies. If they caught me looking through the window, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to escape. These cats are dangerous so if you see any suspicious actions, RUN!!!

Today at Manaiakalani we learnt how to make fake media. Did you believe in the story. I enjoyed making picture. It was hard to make it look right and it was easy to remove the background on the images. 

 

Pr1me Page Game

We were learning about creating a game to help show other people about our understanding of Pr1me maths.

I found it easy to make the characters.

I found it hard to code all the different objects.

I really enjoyed making the levels (including bonus levels).

Next time I need to try make the game longer/harder and new levels.

5 Second Blogger Intro

Today we were learning about making an intro video using Wevideo.

I found it easy to find the music for it.

I found it hard to think of what I was going to do for the video in Five seconds.

I really enjoyed editing the video with all the effects.

Next time I could try and make the video a bit different with different edits.

We were learning to make a presentation with no copyright images.
It was easy to find the images for it.
It was hard to think about what I like (It was hard to think of things like my favourite animal and more)
I really enjoyed making it look cool.
Next time I should update it more like my age and delete the text.

I found it hard to animate them. I needed

I really enjoyed making the emotion on the characters.

Next time I need to make longer animations or make them look better.

I Think The Lockdown Is Working

I think the COVID-19 lockdown isn't good or even very fun. I think we should still be able to the other members in our family. When lockdown first started when we were at school everyone thought it was an amazing idea. I felt sad when school closed and we couldn't see our friends.

We can't see our friends anymore in person. With this lockdown we can't have sleepovers or even visit our friends. If we do want to talk we have to do it using our devices, usually you wouldn't be aloud to. Some of my friends don't have their own personal account to communicate, so I can't even see most of them.

The Coronavirus has stopped many people from going to school due to the lockdown. It's harder to learn at home because we don't get to learn with our friends and teachers. I enjoy going to school and I'm disappointed having to stay at home all day. School is fun and we get to learn with our friends (lockdown is the opposite).

All our parents and family still have to work. Think about it, some peoples family members work for hours and hours, sitting at their office all day. So much for family time, meaning you can't always spend time with them. The fun part of lockdown is spending time with family but you barely ever can.

We can't see our friends, school has been shutdown and it can be stressful having family work from home. Those are the reasons why I dislike the lockdown. During this time at home, stay safe.

Kawa of care video

We were learning about making a video to show how to look after a computer.
I found it easy to help edited the video and make the voices.
I found it hard to remember what to say and do.
I really enjoyed making it. It was funny using the different voices and laughing with my group.

Covid Reflection 2020

We were learning about how to use Wevideo to put 4 videos (that we created with screencastify) together.
I found it easy to record the videos and think of my ideas.
I found it hard to use wevideo to make it and to export.
I really enjoyed using different voices and costumes to make it.
Next time I need to talk at different timings so it sounds better. I also might need to be a bit faster.

ANZAC Silhouette Art

We were learning about making an ANZAC background artifact.

I found it easy to polyline the soldier on google slides.

I found it hard to make the different details on the background.

I really enjoyed putting it all together to see the final result.

Next time I need to make a different person or background.

My ANZAC Animation

We were learning about making an ANZAC animation using google slides.
I found it easy to make the different shapes using polyline and the shapes tool.
I found it hard to get all the nurses to go in the boat (The Maheno).
I really enjoyed making this animation about the nurses that went to war on ANZAC day. I also enjoyed making the end part when the soldier gets healed by the nurses.
Next time I need to make some of the text last longer.

About me 2020

We were learning about making a google drawing about us.
I found it easy to add the background, photo and curving my name.
I really enjoyed designing the drawing, about me.
Next time I need to polyline my face and add more detail in the writing.
