Come To Italy

For this task we had to ask our partner what there dream holiday was and then we had to take a photo of ourselves and then we had to edit the photo and paste it into a picture of their dream location. My partners dream location was Italy. I don't have that good editing skills but it's good enough for me. The thing we used to edit the photos is called PIXLR X.  We did this task around two to three weeks ago it's just I forgot to post it. I also adjusted the image of myself and I also adjusted the background image.

Digital Coloring

For manaiakalani this week we had to recolor a picture on the site Art Coloring Book. I chose this watermelon won as you can see. Most of the art on Art Coloring Book is famous. I think the original art is much better than mine because there is much more detail than when you recolor the image. I also messed up the shading on the man on the right because I shaded his nose blue without realising until now. Even though I had a mistake I still quite like mine.

Real Or Fake?

 Is it real or fake? You decide. 

This is obviously real but you can chose if you believe me or not. This is Trump Wazowski. This week in manaiakalani we learnt about fake news and we had to create our own fake news. My friend and I decided to merge Mike Wazowski and Donald Trump together. Donald Trump is the face and Mike Wazowski is the body. We used google drawings to make this. We used remove.bg for Donald Trump and then we cropped his body. We also made Donald Trump's face a light transparent green to match Mike Wazowski's  skin tone. Mike Wazowksi already had a transparent background so we didn't need to do anything to him.

Persuasive Essay

We had to write a persuasive and descriptive essay. I chose to write my piece on why gaming should be in the olympics in 2021. I enjoyed getting all the information to write my piece for my essay. I found it challenging to write a good amount of writing because it's only about one topic all throughout the writing. But luckily I managed to finish it. I found it easy to pick the background colour because I really like the color combination between the two blues.

Pukeko Knows The Answers

What We Did

In class today we had to create an educational based game to teach maori using piskel, scratch and Tipu in schools. My first and only Idea was to do a Pukeko and I think it looks quite cool. I really enjoyed coding my sprite to cry if you got the question wrong and also coding it so confetti would appear around the Pukeko if you got the question right. I found it difficult to transfer my sprite into scratch and thats only because it had a transparent background. Luckily I solved that problem by downloading my sprite on Piskel instead of just taking a screenshot of it. Next time I think I should make the Pukeko actually move it's mouth when it talks because I think it would add a more realistic kind of perspective. 

Did this game help you learn any Maori words? And if it didn't tell me in the comments. 

Tipu In Schools

There is a app we discovered last term called "Tipu in schools". It helps you learn Maori. In our class we all got a journal to write down our Maori notes. In one of my pages in my journal someone wrote "Hi Larz". In pen highlighted in blue highlighter  so I had to rewrite that whole page. Which was quite frustrating. We usually do it in our literacy block. I recommend it. But it does cost money so not everyone can get it.

What We Did

Isaac, Hunter and I made a Sharp task dedicated the the story we read. This was meant to be on my blog a while ago it's just I forgot to post it. Something I thought was fun in the making of the video was the acting part because its was fun to put on a voice and have different names and stuff. I also found it fun that we could put humour in the story. Like when I dropped the mike because it's the news where everything is breaking and then I quit. And also like when Isaac said "Hi mum" at the end. Something. I found it challenging to write because we were outside so I had to write it on my lap and I was frustrating.

What We Did
For cybersmart we had to get pictures and create some for certain things. This certain challenge was called "Copyright Challenge". I got all the images off explore because of copyright. You can't notice because I took a screenshot of it so there isn't the link for them. The pictures and drawings we had to get were based on these, name, age, favourite subject in school, something we think is cool, favourite animal, favorite food, favorite colors, favorite thing to do, family, where we want to go, our home country and our nickname, nicknames for me. What I enjoyed doing was making all of my own pictures. What I didn't enjoy was nothing I enjoyed all of it. Something I found challenging was the home country and where we want to go. The reason I found them challenging was because I created the country's in polyline first but then I got the images for them. I think it was more annoying than challenging. I got all the images off explore because of copyright. You can't notice because I took a screenshot of it so there isn't the link for them.

What We Did
For a cybersmart task we had to go to a app called piskel and I decided to make a Pukeko. In the process of making this I felt it really enjoyable. One of the reasons is that I really love art and this is kind of a digital way of drawing but its pixelated. I found it easy to colour the Pukeko in because there's a tool that just fills it in. What I found challenging was getting the right body shape. It was also challenging  to make the Pukeko talking because it looked like a t-rex mouth at the start. I obviously just took screenshots of both of the movements but on the app its an animation. I've also created a lot of different animations but I decided just to post this one. I'm probably going to post the others later on though.

What We Did
The video we created was for a sharp task. We had to read the story and then do a video about it. And one of the most enjoyable parts was writing our own script. We still had to keep the most important parts of the story though. It was a fun challenge coverting what happend in the story and putting in a news report. One of the most enjoyable parts was writing the script. One of the harder things was figureing out how to put the video on my blog. First I downloaded the video and that didn't work. But then I found out that I could just put the link in and make it so anyone can view it. This video was created in week seven by me Hunter and Issac.

Covid 19 In New Zealand

1. My family

2. Covid 19 in Gisborne

3. NZ compared to other countries

On the 23rd of March our prime minister, Jacinda Ardern announced

that NZ would be going into stage 4 lockdown on Wednesday night.

I strongly agree that it was a good idea to go into lockdown because

New Zealand in my opinion is doing reasonably well.

If Jacinda Ardern hadn't of put us into lock down it could have

spread quicker

and doubled the cases. At the moment NZ only has 1,149 cases. In

Gisborne there is only one case that is very low. New Zealand is

doing really well and the cases are low and hopefully it stays that way.

In my family there are 6 us in a 90 square meter house.

Staying in the same place for

8 weeks was a struggle. I started to go crazy after 3 weeks and the

fact that we had to go in lock down for another month after the first

month ended made me mad. But we were staying home for a good

reason so it didn't matter if I was going crazy. Everytime when I sat

on my couch I could see quite a lot of cars go by but I'll get to that in

the next paragraph. My older brothers kept annoying me for no reason

and I just wanted them to disappear for a little while. My sister and I

would go for a walk everyday and my brothers would go for a run

everyday. One day we would go for a short walk and the next day

we would go for a long walk.

Gisborne is doing quite well. I guess it helps a tiny bit that Gisborne

isn't huge but I don't think that's the main reason. The main reason

Gisborne is doing well is because of the 40,000 people who are

staying in doors. Even though I said that I saw a lot of cars go past

the lounge window Gisborne still appears to be doing well. But I live

on one of the main roads, Ormond Road. But I don't think there were

a lot of cars because they needed stuff I think it's because people

thought the world was ending and they needed to get supplies.

That's only my opinion. Maybe it's just that a lot of people needed

stuff on the same day. 

The whole of New Zealand is doing really well compared to other

countries. The United States Of America have 1.52 million confirmed

cases of Covid 19. Around 281K people have recovered from

Covid 19 in America. In Mainland China there are 82,947 cases

confirmed. 78,227 have recovered from Covid 19 in Mainland

China. Australia which is one of the most nearest countries from

New Zealand has 7,086 Covid 19 cases. 6,367 have recovered

from Australia.

Hopefully some of the information I wrote has made you think

it was a good idea for Jacinda Ardern to put New Zealand in

lock down. And you might have learned something new from

this. Also in New Zealand 1,433 people have recovered

from Covid 19.

🌩𝔸𝕟𝕫𝕒𝕔 𝕊𝕝𝕚𝕕𝕖🌩

What We Did
Before lock down happened we were working on a Anzac slideshow.
I think i'm a little late on posting this slide on my blog.
I'm posting it now and thats all that matters.
Their was six slides that we had to answer the questions on.
On the question "What is war good for?" I was a bit
confused but then I did some researching and found some
good things like it makes it safer and richer.
I found it exciting when my Mum was telling me about
my great Grandfather. Because I had never heard of
it before. And if my great great Grandfather didn't come back
he would not of had my Grandfather and thats means my
Grandfather wouldn't of had my Mum and that means
my Mum wouldn't of had me.
Thats a mouth full.

✏Cԋαʅʅҽɳɠҽ #3✏

What I Did
We had to draw the images above without lifting our pen and we
couldn't go over a line we had already drawn.
The easiest ones for me were numbers one, two, three and five.
They were just so easy and relaxing to draw. You really didn't
need to think about how to them.
The hardest ones for me were numbers four, twelve and twenty.
For some reason these were the hardest for me, they
just had me thinking a lot. And they were really frustrating
and annoying but then I did them some how which made me happy.
I rubbed out a lot on some of them because I kept messing up and
then I needed to rub it out. That's why theirs so much faded lines.
I know I sound like Mr. Excuses but thats what caused all
the faded lines. For some reason I decided to put
"Challenge #3" on the paper and on the slide, I did the
same thing for "By Larz".
 I don't know why I did that but its to late.
Also you might want to zoom in to see it more clearly.
Or you could press the full screen button one or the other.

💥Aɳȥαƈ Dαყ Pσʂƚҽr💥

What I Did
I made a Anzac poster a couple weeks ago.
I made this because my brother was also making one
so I decided to make one.
My favorite thing about the poster is the poppies.
The most difficult thing I made was the gravestone.
I know it looks easy but trust me it wasn't.
The reason why it was hard because poly line
wasn't cooperating with me. I didn't even
press twice but then it still highlighted it so it
didn't finish and I had to restart from
the beginning.

💻𝒞𝒽𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑒𝓃𝑔𝑒 #𝟤💻

What I Did
We had to do another challenge.
The challenge was to take a photo of objects that was one
of the describing words.The words were all of the above in
my slide. Besides the first slide and the last slide obviously.
The most challenging describing word for me was "Dark".
The reason why dark was the hardiest for me was because
my first thought was to record a video of me putting my
Mums phone in the fridge then I would just take a screenshot
of the darkness. That plan didn't go so well so
I just took a photo of our rooster bell, that was my Mums
idea. The easiest one for me was the "Rough".
The idea I thought of was our brick wall.
I thought of that idea in seconds. Also I thought that
my dads hats looked good because it made the photo pop.
The one that looked the best in my opinion was the
clock. I don't know why but for some reason it just looked the best.
I just think it's because the clock looks old and rusty
and it just looked amazing.
The two most enjoyable two were the "Alive" and the "Yellow".
For alive my brother thought of our backyard.
I also love that photo it just looks so happy because of the plants
and the color. For yellow I did one of our watering cans.
We also have a blue was that looks exactly the same
but instead it's blur. For that photo I laid down on our deck
and then took the photo.
Also I didn't know if I was meant to take a photo of
me because my sister took a photo of me for the word
"Little" because i'm pretty sure it said in the challenge 2
description said "to take photos of objects around you".
I don't think it matters that much though.
This challenge was a really fun because it made me feel
like a photographer.

⭐ᑕᕼᗩᒪᒪEᑎGE OᑎE⭐

What We Did
We had to take photos of objects that look like the letter of our name.
I'm not sure if I was supposed to get a couple of objects or a single one.
Anyway if the case is that it was supposed to be a single one
I couldn't find any single objects that looked like a letter of my name.
Now i'm going to tell you what was the hardest and what was the easiest.
The hardest letter I did was R first I thought I could use pillows to make the R
but it ended up looking funny. But then my Mum thought of the idea
to use a sheet. Also my sister helped me with the L.
It's because I wasn't tall enough to take the photo and thats why my sister took
it.
The easiest letter I did was A. The reason why A was the easiest was because I
didn't need my sister or Mum to help. Also my Mum helped me with the word Z
as you can see my Mum used our tv remotes for it.
I found this challenge really fun and I think it's a time to show off your creative
mind. 

About Me

What We Did
We had to take a photo of ourselves. You rather got to chose to
do the polyline which I as you can used or you could curve your name.
I forgot what else you could do but I think I should've just curved
my name it would of been a heck more relaxing.

What I Liked & Disliked
What I found challenging was the polyline even though iv'e been doing polyline
 for 3 years it was still quite difficult and frustrating. It's because if you press
 twice while using it, it will highlight the polyline so you can't continue on it.
some people say it's useful but I just find it frustrating.
What I enjoyed was the writing part. I guess that was
the relaxing part. Next time I think I need to make the polyline closer together
because it just doesn't look right.
