Today at Technology my teacher Mr Malhotra questioned my classmates and I what we knew about the different types of energy. He then asked us what the definition was to test if we truly understood how the energy was produced or made.  The examples above are the different types of objects that we tested to find what variety of energy was used to make them function/work.

Dual Language

This is my version of a dual language book, the language that I have chosen is Cook Island, because it is my nationality. It wasn’t difficult to create this because I speak Cook Island at home which made it easier to translate.

Luscious Lotus

Last week my class was assigned to do a task in groups. The task we were assigned to do was to create your own chocolate of how it would look.

We also had to create the packaging which would give you a higher chance of being chosen. If you were chosen to bring your creation to life you

would have to list all the ingredients of which you would need. In my group there was Matalomani, Lawren, Cassandra (Me), Ellay, and Loise.

My group and I decided to go with a chocolate that was a good combination, of sweets, but didn’t have too much ingredients to the point where

the chocolate wouldn’t taste as great as we’d think. So we discussed on what would go nice as a filling, which is when we came up with a chocolate

bar that had crushed up lotus biscuits, lotus biscoff, bits of Reese’s, and a drizzle of white chocolate. We began making it last Friday, but we

couldn’t  finish on time so we had to let it set throughout the weekend. When we came back on Monday morning the chocolate was set and ready to eat.

 

Podcasting

This term for English we are learning about podcasts and how to make one of our own. Firstly we think about what we want to do on the podcast, which we then think about what questions to be asked throughout the podcast. Once we figure that out we go ahead and create a script so that we know what we are supposed to say and do while filming the podcast.

 

Athletics day

Wednesday the 27th of November my school had Athletics Day. On this day last week we were equally divided within three house colours. The house colours that we were equally divided within our school were Orange, Purple, and Pink. This day was vastly humid especially when we were running our 100, 200, 400, and 800 metre distances. After a long day of sprinting my legs were always cramping from time to time, but overall this day was a great experience.

 

Abstract Painting

For cybersmart we used Kleki to create an abstract painting.

I used the sketchy because of how it blended.

An abstract painting is a painting that doesn’t have to look like how would in real life.

Creating this wasn’t challenging, it was actually really simple.

Cybersmart Animation

Today for Cybersmart we had to

create an animation using google slides.

For the animation effect you have to press

and hold the right arrow button on your keyboard.
