Tech With Ms. Ferguson | Graphics

This week for tech, we did graphics with Ms. Ferguson. In partners we chose two games which we could play using paper. My partner was Miiana. In our partners we played the two games for a few minutes. Miiana and I decided to play tic tac toe and hangman. After we played a few rounds, we planned how to make the games into 3D, like the materials, the shapes of the materials and more. Once we finished the planning, we went on a site called tinkercad, where we could make 3D objects for the 3D printer.

Translations Of The Solar System In Maori

This week in inquiry, with Ms. Anderson, in partners, we created a DLO showing the translations of the solar system in Maori. My partner was Farzana. In our DLO we included attributed images of the planets, interesting facts and the translations in Maori. After we created the DLO we started to record it. Farzana and I struggled to say the Maori names and recorded a few times because we were struggling, but we finally finished it.

Tech With Ms. Ferguson | Graphics

This week for graphics with Ms. Ferguson we created a DLO of logic toys. The DLO included photos of the toys, the parts and how to play the game/toy. After that, we learnt about 3D. 3D stands for 3 dimension. We also learnt about tone, which means how hard or how soft you sketch. On a big piece of paper, we learnt how to draw a cube and tone. We first practiced, so we could get better at it. The three different tones we colored were light, medium and dark. After practicing, we colored in the cube we drew with any color we wanted. I decided to choose blue, because it was my favorite color. When we finished coloring, we also learnt how to write letters in cubism.

Literary Devices

Here Is The Link- Literary Devices DLO

This week in reading we learnt about poetry and literary devices. There are six literary devices which are: hyperbole (example- it will take me 100 years to climb the mountain), simile (example- she runs fast like flash) , metaphor ( example- Sara is a colorful parrot), personification (example- The shoes ran away), alliteration ( example- beautiful bears beat bees) and onomatopoeia ( example- Crash!).  We created a poster about the literary devices. Our challenge was to use a google docs instead of a google draw. If we created a table, then everything would have a nice layout and looked neat.

Who am I?

This week in tech we moved to a new rotation. We were in graphics with Ms. Ferguson. Ms. Ferguson first introduced herself to us. After we were introduced by Ms. Ferguson, we created a poster about ourselves. The poster included images of things we like, like our favorite food or game and more. One of my favorite games are pubg mobile. The images we used were transparent. Ms. Ferguson taught us how to make the images transparent. On of the ways to make a image transparent is to search a image, press on tools, click on color and choose transparent. I enjoyed my first session with Ms. Ferguson.

Yuri Gagarin Animation

This week for reading we used our create skills to create an animation or an explainer movie about Yuri Gagarin, in groups. My group and I decided to create an animation. Before we created the animation, we planned it as a group. On a piece of paper we drew a S to include the information we wanted about Yuri Gagarin from the start to the finish of the animation. A fact about Yuri Gagarin is that he was the first cosmonaut to orbit Earth in Vostok 1. After planning the animation, we started to create our animation. We chose a leader to tell us our job of the animation. We all decided that Chavda was the right leader of our group. My group and I worked together as a team and helped each other to complete our animation. I think that everyone in my group had great create skills and are really talented in drawing digitally. 

Space Tuarangi|Prior Knowledge

This week we moved to a new teacher for our Space inquiry. This time we were with Ms. Anderson. We were using our prior knowledge about spce. Prior knowledge is when you use your information you already know about. In groups of LS1 and LS2 we wrote our prior knowledge about space. I was with Farzana and Xavier. After we recorded our prior knowledge, we watched a video about space. The video helped us build on our prior knowledge.
