Rugby World Cup 2019 Mascot Animation

Today I was learning how to create an animation with my Rugby World Cup 2019 mascot for Italy.
 I enjoyed creating a background to base my slides on.
 I found it challenging to My digital learning object shows that I can make an animation, and embed it to my blog.
I found it challenging to find a flag for Italy and a cartoon pizza.
 Next time I would change my creation and think out side of the box to come up with something original.

Rugby World Cup Mascot Italy

Today I was learning how to polyline images of Italy's national animal ( grey wolf ), flower and flag, to create a new mascot.

I enjoyed adding colours to our images, mashing everything together to make one thing.

I found it challenging to polyline the shapes, especially the wolf, as I kept double clicking and it kept finishing and you can't continue a line.

My digital learning object shows that I can polyline images, to create a mascot for another country.

Next time I would change the shades of colours and not over crouding everything.

Eel Encounters

Room 4 has recently been studying endangered animals, we studied Longfin Eels as a class. Down the road from school is where the Hustlers live, in their river live some long fin eels, so we decided to visit them. 

We knew from our learning the the eels love smelly meat so we fed them some stenchy venison. It took a while at first and we thought the water was too murky and fast flowing.
 But then a huge one appeared and we knew that they were lurking beneath the river bed. Some of us fed them out of our hands, on sticks, we even made lines out of harakeke. Soon we were pulling eels up, studying them and even patting them. The eels were huge. When we got back to school, we created poems based on the Eel encounter. Here is one of my poems... 


He Waits 
Beneath the brisk, murky, waters, he waits. 
A dark shadow, glides across the river bed.
Stenchy venison drops.
He waits.
Suddenly, a dorsal fin breaks the tranquil waters.
The blood covered bait vanishes, 
so does he.
