Symmetrical drawing

Today we had to make a picture using google draw and make it symmetrical. It was quite easy and fun, I created a monster of some kind with a house on a mountain. Here it is.

Reflection: I personally think this is great since you are quite limited on google draw.

What do you think about it?

Shapes Of Symmetry

This week in Manuka, we were learning how to identify a shape as symmetric or asymmetric. After we learnt how to do this we started to make Logos with either the letters of our name or our product for market day. I made my logo out of my name, it has one line of vertical symmetry. The letters are my initials turned side ways. The wings represent free time in class but since they are barely attached it means that we don’t get any free time really.

Reflection:

I think that my logo is quite good but since we were hand drawing it’s not completely the same.

Also the lines aren't very straight.

Maniakalani Film Festival

Maniakalani Film Festival
Today we was North-lands first time have a film festival. Although I was not part of the film selected for viewing  I was pulled out of a hat to go and view all of the movies. There were eight schools that were in it and each school had two movies each movie was 2-5 minutes long, so in total it was about 25 minutes of movies. It was hosted at Teahu center. The journey from school was about 45 minutes there and back. But I was occupied playing with the person sitting next to me, Isaiah. Once we got there there was a red carpet with the golden bars next to them, it was  like Hollywood. Once we entered the building we were taken into the theater, we were taken to a row an I was right in the perfect place. Each movie was amazing to watch, I loved them all. We were getting ready to go but then I noticed one of my old teachers which was quite interesting. On the way back to school we passed MacDonald's and an ice cream store, as much as the kids begged, the teachers didn't listen.


I feel like this was a great opportunity for kids of ages ranging from 9-12 to get a chance at movie making, I feel that movie making inspires creativity and can create wonderful things.

Market day learning

Last week at Oruaiti school we had a special guest, her name is Mel. She works for many company's by making advertisements. She told us a funny story one of cokes employees, said employee had created a new flavor idea it was a mix between  cranberry and Apple, he called it Crapple. When it was presented every one laughed like it was a joke. Mel also taught us to
-Not to use Jargon (Our personal words)
-Work out your target market
-know your competition
-Use bold words for advertising
And more but those stuck out to me.

For market day I am going to be a photographer. Im going to have a set and take Christ Mas themed photos for family's. I have props to use and my brother a semi professional photographer might help me if he wants. 
My Action plan
1. Set aside what props I will use.
2. Decide were I will work.
3. Decide  which phone to use.
4. Ask my brother if he wants to help.
5. Prepare a back drop.
If you have any feed back for me to change about this please tell me in the comments.

Trend Micros Cyber safe Competition

As some of you may know there is an anti virus software called Trend Micro and they are holding a cyber smart competition, in said competition you must create a poster that demonstrate how to be a great digital citizen. Over the past few weeks I have created a poster, here it is

It was quite easy to make all I did was...
1. I opened up a new google drawing page.
2. I Found a royalty free image of the Matrix and a royalty free image of an empty monitor.
3. I layered the monitor on top of the Matrix back ground.
4. I selected all and then Ctrl x to cut it out temporarily.
5. I found an image of a desk backdrop that I liked and inserted it.
6. I undid my cut on the monitor.
7. I selected the curve tool and drew a body that was semi cube like.
8. Finally I added text bubbles to show how to be cyber smart and be a good digital citizen           Please Vote for me

Pet Day

Pet Day
On the 24th of September it was pet day so, yesterday, we had Pet Day. Pet day at Oruaiti school is wonderful. We had a few game, lots of food(Nachos, cakes, hot chips, sausages and more) and lots of pets.

 There were many different animals like dogs, chickens and lambs. For the dogs, they had to complete a lap of the hall and try do a trick, but they were a bit shy, the winner for the dog competition was Camryn, her dog was also the best cared for. For the chickens I'm not sure what they were judged for but I know that they did the healthiest, one of my friends one the competition for the chickens, her names Kaylee and her chickens called Floppy, she's so cute(the chicken by the way). The lambs were the main attraction though, they walked in circles and had to dress up, one person for the dress up part swapped with the sheep, so the sheep was wearing an Oruaiti school uniform and the kid was wearing a lamb costume, and once again Camryn won first, she dressed it up as a fire man and the lamb as a fire truck.

 After that was finished we had lunch time, I ate some hot chips and drank lemonade. Later on in the day my mum, brother and grandparents came along. We walked in and out of classes looking at their art, some classes had incredible stuff. My class did cubby hole diarames, landscape painting, birds out of cut out pieces of paper and vegetable animals. For the vegetable animals I didn't have anything so I had to use kiwi fruit from the class fruit basket, it actually turned out pretty well. And that concludes what happened.

Please ask if you have anything you would like me to specify.

Here are some photos:
