T-shirt bags

In-Text style (Soft material) we are making bags for our work out of shirts, we watched videos of how to make a bag out of t-shirts and then we planned and next week which is today, we began our trial top of what our bag will look like, This is my Trial top the one I did before my final product, and to be honest, didn't really like the outcome of my Trial.

The neck part is too big and the parts at the bottom are too thick and not thin enough, but I hope for my final bag It will look better.

For my Final, I hope that it will turn out better with a shorter neck, and the bottom parts to tie the top up at the bottom I hope that to be thinner so it will be easier to tie up.

Waitangi

In Social studies, we have been doing something that involves Waitangi Day.

And the history of it.

Learning Objective: Understand what the treaty of Waitangi is and why it's important.

What I already knew

I knew some stuff about Waitangi Day since I learnt some from Primary school but I've forgotten what.

What I found interesting 

I also found it interesting that it's on February why? Because its the same month as my Birthday.

(WHOOOOOO Lucky me???)

What I would like to know
I'd like to know what would have happened if the treaty was not signed

A Slideshow of Waitangi that I made in Social Studies.

Drama (week 3)

So week 3, Drama, In drama we started off with a game where we would be on stage and in a frozen state and one person would try to make us move or laugh to get us out.

Then after 2 or 3 games, we had a task, do write a blog post of what we wanted to do and what we wanted to improve.

So here are my ideas.

1) A play from year 5 - 9

2) A horror play.

3) A make your own play

4) Do a musical play.
5) And to improve my acting skills

A short post of what I hope to happen in drama

Factual or Satirical?

In English were given a task where there are new sites, we have to find out which one is real news and which is fake news. (Disclaimer this is my opinion some of them may be stuck as fake when they might really be real)

The Onion

The website is laid out with others news on the side

They are using either photo's off the internet or photoshopped ones

Headlines - FLY OFF MY PRETTIES,' Says Jeff Bezos releasing swarms of Amazon drones to hunt down nude photos.

I think this site is satirical (Fake)

The New York Times

Looks like a classic site with lots of words and a little fewer pictures and normally just a black and white background.

Their using photos that of looks like a meeting.

Headlines -  Dangerous Territory For democrats as Republicans seize the Venezuela moment in Miami

I think this is Factual (real)

The Civilian

A nice laid out site with a person at the top under the words The Civilian.

They're using a photo from Melbourne Cup Carnival about a horse running around in a circle.

Headlines - Embarrassing: Winning Melbourne cup horse just ran around in a big circle like some kind of idiot.

In reality, I think that this site is fake due to how they put the wording (Satirical) 

The Daily Mail

A site with adds on the side and a video that pops up on your right bottom side.

They're using a photo of Kate Middleton and the occasion of shoes (From adds) and ETC.

Headline- Kate outshines A-list stars in Grecian

I think this is True (Factual)

The Daily Mash

A site with the words in a typewriter font saying THE DAILY MASH, With some adds.

A photo of the movie Paddington

Headline - 4 classic kids’ films that could offend idiots

I think this is fake (Satirical)

The Herald

A site with a nice layout with buttons to press on the left side to go to a different page

Pictures on the site are some doing with the news and some pictures of houses?
Headline - High profile inmate released: Arthur Taylor talks life, love and Lime scooters
I think this is Satirical

The Shovel 
A good layout with lots of words Etc and Pictures
Pictures of Tim Wilson as headline
Headline - Tim Wilson Confirms That Election Ballot Paper Will Now Contain Option To Donate To Liberal Party
I think this is Factual

Daily Telegraph
A site with adds...and words and pictures like all the others...
Headline picture of a fallen police officer
Headline - WIFE PLACES POLICE TEDDY ON FALLEN OFFICER’S CASKET
I think this is Factual

(Thank for taking your time to read this... if you did)
(And like before some may not be right as in this was my opinion as in what was real or fake)

What did you enjoy the most?

I enjoyed going to Adrenalin forest again to experience it all over again.

What did I not enjoy?

Getting a big sunburn on my left leg and 2 sunburns on my shoulders which leaves me in pain, and is still in pain.

My best memory?

Is spending time with my friends as we experience the fun together like, Archey, Fire building ETC from Omaka scout camp,

Having fun sleeping at Spencer park before releasing I got a sunburn

Having a wonderful (It was scary) time at adrenalin forest

                 But most of all spending it with the people I knew
