Week 2 Technology - Graphics

Today was our second session of graphics for term 4. We didn't have Mr Pineda in so we had Mr McKenzie-Brown who is an English teacher in Tamaki College. Today since Mr Pineda wasn't here we were to finish off coloring and drawing our charity boxes. My charity box is based on helping the homeless so I have phrases such as Donate, Help the homeless,  and Please donate $1. I've also added a home/shelter which symbolizes that homeless people need shelter. I've nearly finished coloring and going to put together my charity box.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 5 - Activity 2

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I have come activity 2 for day 5. In this activity I have learnt what men and women wore to cricket games back in the 1940s. Men use to wear suits and hats and women wearing dresses, hats and gloves. For this activity I had to compare the clothing that was worn in 1940 and the clothes that I wear now. I also had to tell which one I would prefer to wear.


The clothes I wear clothes is way different from the 1940s. I didn't wear suits and hat to any sporting games. I usually wear shorts, t-shirt and a jacket. I don't really wear hats to sporting games as well. For me I would prefer the modern style clothing because it is more stylish and their is more brands like Nike, Puma, Adidas, etc.

Today for the Summer Learning Journey I have completed activity 1 for day 5. For this activity I had to imagine I was one of the people living back in 1945 and had to throw a VE (Victory in Europe) party. I had to tell what I'd would do to celebrate and who I would invite to the party.

I would invite my family members and would probably have a BBQ together with fizzy drinks. My family and I would probably go to our relatives and go somewhere like out to beaches and swim. After that we would go home say our pray and go sleep really late.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 4 - Bonus Activity

For this Summer Learning Journey I had to complete a story about working as a nurse on a large medical large ship in War. I have to write at least 8-10 sentences to completed the story. 

One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you.....


One day you are walking along the deck of the ship when you hear a loud bang. You start to run as you see smoke coming from the far end of the ship. You run towards the room where your patients are waiting to receive treatment from the doctor. Just as you arrive at the door to their room you hear another loud bang and you scream. You are running to get help from other nurses but suddenly you hear a double bang. You scream as loud as a girl is happy on christmas day "someone help please". You see two of your other nurse friends running rapidly towards you like rhinos. Your friends and you quickly run to a safety spot. You suddenly hear a patient screaming "help please". You and your two nurse friends try get to the other side to help the patient. As you and your friends get to the room your patient is gone. You panick and fall to the ground. Suddenly you hear a bang noise from the room next to you. You and your friends quickly run to the next room and all you can see is fire on the patients bed. You and your nurse buddies try to smother the fire with a sheet. Luckily the fire stops and you and you friends are safe from the fire.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 4 - Activity 2

For this Summer Learning Journey I have completed Actvitiy 2, Day 4 for Week 2. For this activity I had to go on this link to find a list of VC winners from World War 2.VC means Victoria Cross. VC is a special medal awarded to those mens who participated in World War 2 and did unique things during the War. I decided to choose a men name James Allen Ward. James Ward was the first New Zealander airman to win the VC medal. Ward joined the the RNZAF in July 1940. I have learnt that James Ward was born in Wanganui where he was educated at Wanganui Technical College. James Ward was awarded his VC medal because of his braveness. Jame Wards Vickers Wellington bomber was set on fire by an enemy fighter plane. Ward decided to climb out of the plane and onto the burning wing and tryed to smother the fire, but unfortanetly he couldn't block the leaking petrol pipe. I think James Ward was a brave New Zealander airman.

First Idea - Car Wash - Ask my friends or families if I could wash their car

I would give this art piece a 2 because I dont like how the character is drawn and I don't know what shes sitting in. If there were more detailI would give it a higher rating (like 4). 

Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 2 - Activity 1

For the Summe Learning Journey activity I had to watch a movie trailer called Gold Rush. After we had watch the trailer we had to write what we think about the movie. This movie contains no dialog. We also have write if we would enjoy watching a silent film.

In the trailer it shows a lot of characters and each character has its own unqie role. I think the movie is about these unique characters going on adventures and chasing dreams. I wouldnt watch this movie because the quality is terrible. I dont think I could watch a whole video with no dialog.

Summer Learning Journey - Week 2 - Day 1 - Activity 2

For the Summer Learning activity I leanrt that women in Saudi Arabia weren't allowed to vote until 2015. I think that it is unfair for women because womens opinion matters and they a very affective to others. Hopefully in the future everyone has equall rights. For example womens should get paid the same amount as men.

In Flanders Fields

BY JOHN MCCRAE

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.
