Smart Media

Today, My class had another Cybersmart lesson. We learned to know how to verify online information and to analyse the construction of digital media. We looked at different photos and found out which one's were fake, and real. See if you can guess which one's are fake and real!
I enjoyed making my photo
I found hard trying to find a water photo for my photo, instead I made my own.
Next time I would try add more animals to my photo.
Check out my own self- made photo! Real or Fake?

Laser Tag

Laser Tag

                                                                    "SSHHUUMM!.." the laser went as it bounced off the wall, and hit the opponent in the chest. 

Walking slowly, ducking and turning, trying to find my next enieme. In laser tag, my enemies were me, Vs Grandad, My brother, My cousin and two little boy's, Twins! One with glasses and one with none. Evil, I was sure of it. 

We all had to go for each other. Suddenly, I saw something,tall and skinny it was running. 

"It my next opponent!" I thought, creeping up, "Ppeewww!!" I lasered, hardly aming anywhere. 

I heard more lasers coming my way! I ran... all of a sudden, my lights went off on my vest, I hid. Waiting for my lights to come back on, 5 seconds later my lights came back on. 

I found the little boy with no glasses, "Shhuummm, Pheeww!!" we shot each other at the same time."Ha!Ha!" The boy laughed, "Um,.." I shrugged, lifting one eyebrow. "I got him! He missed me!?" I thought. He looked down at his vest "Oohh.." he said. 

Since he said "Ha!Ha!" at me, I decided to go for him. At the end of the game,The lady took our vest's. Then she said,

 "At the top of your screen, on your gun, It will say your game name. Then, on the TV it will say your place you came" 

I looked at my gun, Then the screen, I noticed my name "Umbrella?" I asked, looking at my game name. I came 6th place. Out of laser tag we went!

Book Ghost: Making Running Gear

Today, My teacher put up new tasks, As we are reading a different book. Our new book this term is Ghost. It is about a boy who is very fast at running. He gave himself the name Ghost, because of the face a man gave him, As pale as a ghost. Today I made Running Gear for ghost to run in.
I had fun making the outfit for him!
I found It hard to polyline around the shoe, to make it like a real shoe.
Next time I would put a different background, so people would noticed it. I made my own brand too! My Brand is 'J ' for Jayda.
 Check it Out!

Napier Road Trip

"VVVRRRMMM!!..." went the roaring car as we entered Napier. We stopped at a large sideways 'C'.
"10 stories!" Dad told me as we entered the big front doors, "What level are we!?" I asked, "9..." Dad answered. Next to the building was a massive pool "Is that a pool!!?" "Nope!" I looked closely at the 'Thing'. It was a long deep square with water in it. We walked inside, Dad asked the lady what room we were in. I looked at my watch 10:00 at night it said. We grabbed our bags and walked to the entrance, Once again. I looked at the sign 'Scenic Hotel Napier' The blue tall sign said. We went up the elevator "Vmmm..." "Ding, Ting, Ping, Ding, Ting, Ping!" went the elevator door as it changed floors. We walked down the hall at level '9'. I looked at the window ledges "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue..." I said as I realise "It's a rainbow!" I said as we entered our room "243" a sign said glued to our door.

"Clink, Clink!" went the key to the door. We walked inside, "WAAOOHH!" we all yelled. "LUXURY BABY!" I screamed. Inside, One wooden brown cupboard, to the left a bathroom and an inch up - ahead two queen side tables, in front of them a TV, to the right a small kitchen. Next to the TV was a balcony overlooking half the city, the park and the ocean. In the morning everyone got changed. We opened up my curtains to see the sun rising! We waited for my brother to wake up and drove to the 'Aquarium of Napier' Once we got inside a man gave us  a map! The map had where everything was.

We walked towards the 'Walking Tank' It said on the glass that the fish were in, That freaked me out! "AAAHHHHH!!" I screamed as I saw a massive shark, I looked around "What's your favourite?" I asked my Mum, Dad and brother. "I like that massive shark." my dad said. "I like that tiny orange fish!" Mum answered. "Look, it's staring at me!" "My favourite is that stingray!" I said. Next, we went to the science room. "This is the smallest octopus in the world!" my dad told me. "SMALLEST!? It looks like the biggest!!" I said. We move on...
Next we went to another room, I saw an orange creepy fish. It was wrinkly and was staring at the bubbles at the top of his tank.We went to the gift shop, I got a gray shark teddy, then we went home to sweet home Gizzy!

My Speech

This week we presented our speeches.

I felt nervous, my arms were shaking and my teeth were chattering.

But at the end, I felt relieved! I was so happy I'm done.

We included our pepeha.

We had to use a clear voice, stand still, speak loudly, go at our own pace, look up at the crowd, use expression and be confident.

Our speeches needed to include a rhetorical question and be persuasive.

My speech was on Lions escaping the Rotorua lakefront circus 33 years ago.

Tihei Mauri ora! 

Ko Pepeha Ki ahau 

Ko Titirangi Te maunga

Ko Taruheru Te awa 

Ko Horouta Te waka 

Ko St Marys star of the sea Te marae 

No Tamaki ahau  

Ko Hato Maria toku kura 

Ko Jayda ahau

No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.

Have you ever been to a circus? Well 33 years ago in the Rotorua lakefront lions escaped the Rotorua circus. Four big cats ran heroically all over town after they escaped there cage in a circus called the Whirling Brothers circus. 

The owner and his wife had a black poodle called Lucy. Well the owner was doing his tricks in the big tent the wife let Lucy out of the caravan to go to the toilet, but the caravan is right next to the lions cages and Lucy got attracted by the lions meat and when over. 

The lion sniffed Lucy from behind the bars, picked her up with its paw and was now in the lion's cage. Lucy tried to sniff the meat, but sadly the lion swiped her with its paw and killed Lucy. 

The lions were shaking the cage and wobbling the cage. There were at least 500 people in the tent when it happened. Once the lions got out of their cage, the wife of the circus called the police amendly. 

The first Policeman that came in his car, had to many things going on in front of him and went straight into a tree. The second police officer that came, he came on his motorbike, and he feel of his motorbike. 

The Elfa lion got under the hospital, so the police and the owners built a cage. The police said “I'm not getting under there!” and the owner said “well I can't! I gotta close the cage!” so the wife stepped forward and said, “Well I’ll do it then!” she grabbed a broom and shooshed the lion out of under the hospital. They put all the lions back in one big cage, and that was the end of that show!
