Sunflower Art

During the last 2 weeks of school. Room 4 had been doing some Sunflower art. The rooms 1's of Matawai school had planted some Sunflowers by our court and grew over the last few months of the school holidays. So on the second week of school after the triathlon in Gisborne. We sketched Sunflowers and painted them. I have made my one close-up and did one in front of a fence. Here is my Sunflower art. It's the smaller one is mine and the one next to it is Another students. We only have 2 up on the wall but soon we will have quite a bit more.

Back To Blogging!

Hi my name is Emerald and I am from Gisborne and currently going to Matawai school in room 4. I am year 7 and have 3 siblings that attend highschool and primary school. I live on a dairy farm with my parents beyond Matawai and I am from New Zealand. We also own 1 pet that is a cat.

My favourite subjects in school would be maths, reading, art and P.E. I am good at mathematics and my reading skills towards reading aloud. I enjoy playing tennis in my own time and reading books. Some challenges in my learning would be writing but I have improved on that subject. Some goals for me this year are improving on writing and on art.

Some things I am looking forward to this year are the senior bike ride that we do every year and swimming sports. Some of my achievements I have made so far are improving on some of my writing and art skills. Some people that inspire me are my parents, they are hard working and inspire me a lot. I am excited to keep blogging this term and hope to connect with others on blogs too.

Lorde!

Today I was learning about Lorde and what she has done in her past and some facts. i have used Picktochart to make this. It is a website that you can use to make posters or presentations.
I enjoyed finding out some of the facts about Lorde because there were many different facts to chooses from. I found it challenging to write the facts in my own words trying not to use to much complicated.
Next time I would change the concept and background of the poster.

Highlights Of The Year!

Passed some of the Mondays with Mrs Torrie we made a little movie about our highlights of the year.
I enjoyed making this because I have had so much highlights to put in here from the year. I also enjoyed the different concepts and colours we could choose within our movie.
I found it challenging to even make the movie Itself because the different photos that where hard to find around in my drive. Usually i would try to find the photos I liked most but I liked a lot of photos so it was a challenge just to choose the photos that we could use.
Next time I would change the colours and transitions. The wording could be a little better too.

Kawakawa Facts

Today I was learning about the Kawakawa leaves and what some of the uses are. There is some instructions to make Kawakawa Cough Syrup and what It's used for.
I enjoyed the making of the cough syrup and finding out facts that I didn't know but I have known about the Kawkawa for some time.
I found it challenging to think, think and THINK!! Then pop an idea had strung out of nowhere

Next time I would change the background and font other than that I don't know what I would change.

Impossible Acts!

Today I was learning how to make a fake background/ Something impossible at school. Again we used the tool RemoveBg  We used our chrombook camera to take a photo and edit.
I enjoyed making a fake image at school. It was fun to use the tool again.
I found it challenging to think of an idea to pop into my head but then all of a sudden I got an idea.
Next time I would change the idea of my fake image. It was a bit bland to think of the idea
