A,R,T Gymnastics

This Term we have been practicing Gymnastics. In a group of four we had to choreograph our own dance using the Basic Gymnastic steps. What I found hard was adding the dance steps. I enjoyed doing this because we used a blue screen. Next time We could add more dance steps and edit the video more professionally. Check out my group mates' blog: Rheanna, Amber, Eden

Welcome To Your World

WALT..Use appropriate language features for a pick a path story. This week we were given two tutorial videos on how to create a google form. We had to create our own Pick-a-Path story using google form. What I found hard is planning and thinking about my story because I'm not that creative. What I found fun was reading my own story. Next time I will improve it by picking one theme/plot. My story is about your random world. Check it out:

Life in North Korea

This term we learnt about Social Justice. We had to pick a country to discuss about. We were also given a slideshow for planning our work. I chose the country North  Korea and I did a Prezi to present it. What I found hard was explaining the information that I knew in my own words. What I found exciting was knowing some hilarious facts about North Korea. Next time I will add more information about North Korea.

Look Up and Socialize

WALT..Identify people in our community who may be isolated. Today we watched a video about people being addicted to their devices. We were given a picture to find who are the isolated people and explain why we think they are isolated.

My Amazing MIhi

This week is 'Maori Week' therefore we did a game in 'Gamefroot'. I watched a tutorial on how to make My Mihi to a game. What I found hard was making the video and posting it. What I enjoyed was playing the game. Next time I will add more design to my game. Here is the video of me playing my game.

Tweet It

WALT..Read and Interpret Scripture to see how the Church is Universal and Apostolic. This week we were given two tasks. This is my second work about Scriptures. What I found hard was explaining the scriptures. Next time I will make my words better.

Art or Just Messy?

Last week we talked about Graffiti. Is it art or Just Messy? We had to write our own persuasive writing about the confusing topic. What I found hard was choosing a side for my persuasive writing. What I found exciting was knowing interesting facts about Graffiti. Next time I could add a Graffiti drawing made by me. If you are wanting to know which side to pick, read mine.

Is Graffiti ART or JUST MESSY?

I strongly believe that Graffiti is just MESSY. In my opinion, Graffiti just ruins the visual of our city and it disturbs private and public property. Do you think Graffiti helps the environment? Is vandalism and an illegal activity really art? Well, Today I’m going to make you think more about Graffiti.

Firstly, Graffiti is disturbing and an annoyance. Most of the Graffiti workings can be seen in a public and/or private space. Most of those are names that are just scribbled on walls which is totally ridiculous because you could just do a real type of art with your name on it. Therefore, scribbling is not art. Some of the graffiti workings are also inappropriate and it ruins the visual of the city. For example, there are tourists in your country yet there are many inappropriate and messy graffiti workings on the tourist spot. That is a total minus for tourists.

It is illegal. Vandalism: “Action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property”. Making art is a likable and peaceful activity for artists to refresh their minds and/or to express what they feel in a place where they know it is legal. Graffiti is not likable. Many people get frustrated and annoyed when they see Graffiti work on their private property. Cleaning the scribble work causes a huge amount of money for the equipment and the owner would not like to spend the money that he/she worked for just because of an anonymous person who drew in his/her property.

Lastly, It is a bad influence for all the people who know and see about Graffiti. Some of the people doing Graffiti steals the equipment used for Graffiti because it is expensive and they don’t have enough income. It influences other people to do Graffiti and more people can steal.

As a result, Graffiti is just MESSY. It gives a bad impression for others and it influences other people to do an illegal activity. Would you like to go to prison because of a scribble work that you could just do on paper? What would it feel like if someone puts Graffiti on your beloved property? That’s why stop, share this and make a better change.

Holiness

WALT.. Identify and explain how the Mary and the Saints demonstrate holiness. This week I did an activity about Holiness. I was given a google drawing to answer with my own words. I enjoyed doing this because it was easy. Next time I could add more description.
