Ag Day 2019

Pets Day 2019

Last week we had Pets Day at Matawai school. We had a great time. For tech I am currently in cooking, so that means that I got to bake for the cake stall fundraiser. In the morning after I had made my sandsaucer, which I placed first out of the year sevens in, I helped bag up some of the delicious slices that we had baked up. When my pets arrived I ran over an unloaded them off the ute. My father entered his cake for the ' fathers bake off ', which he sadly didn't place in. I lined up at the pet ring, in the big lamb section with my beautiful lamb Zoe. Zoe got 1st in best cared for, then my awsome dog Rosie, to my dads surprise got 2nd in best cared for in the dog section. 1st and 2nd in a catogrey means that you go to the final, which you can win champion lamb, dog or other pet. Their was champion calf, but because of microplasmabovis, we couldnt have calves. This meant that both of my pets had a chance at champion dog and lamb. In the end my lamb Zoe got champion lamb. I am so proud of Zoe, now she will go on to be my pet sheep and hopefully breed lambs of her own. 

Kawakawa Cough Syrup

This term 5 people from room 4 got to go up one of our local maunga ' Titirangi ' to do a workshop. This workshop that included, visiting the harbour to see the new plastic vacum cleaner invention that Eastland Port has bought. It was fascinating to see how much plastic there is in the small harbour. We also did a workshop near the end, we got to take our own kumara plants home to plant. I really enjoyed my day and would go back again.

Taking An EAgle To School

Today I was learning how to identifiy what is false ( photo shopped ) and what is real ( oringinal ). We were also givin the challenge to create a fake image of something impossible that would never happen at school.

I enjoyed using my creativity and imagination.

I found it challenging to think of something to do and an eagle image that was a png.

My digital learning object shows that I can remove the background on an image, moving images to look realistic.

Next time I would change the pose I did, to look more realistic and action packed.
