How is this going for you? How are you using time? How are you aiming for your personal best? I think i'm going well when it comes to tracking sheet time and I use the time wisely. im using Time to learn and give my personal best in to everything I can. I am aiming for my personal best because I come to school to learn, create, share, and explore what there is to learning.

Holiday Blog post



during the Vietnam War.during the Vietnam War.                        Holiday Blog post

I looked up at the massive 3d print of a human from World War One. There was gunshots and blood, cuts and blisters/bruises. Everywhere there were people sick and most people were half sliced and shot. It was really sad looking at the information on the wall of the exhibition at Te papa. One thing I didn't know was how little water they got each day. It was just a little drink bottle for Dishes, Washing, Drinking, and for food. When now in our world we use drink bottles for just drinking, and we use showers and bathtubs for washing. It is seriously ridiculous on how much water we use these days. When than in world war one they couldn't afford to tip water out. There was about 6-7 different 3d prints of people from world war one. There were also Huge I pads that you could read information on too. When we got to the end of the exhibition there was this table full of poppy making and Anzac arts and crafts. So we did a few poppy making and put our poppies we made on the least we forget sign with other people's poppies all around it. When we got out we drove home and started making a roast for tea. Once we had dinner I started getting ready for bed because it was late. But when I was getting ready for bed I started to think how lucky people are now, compared to how people were in world war one.

Movie

I am blogging this because: I think me and Georgia did a really good job and we enjoyed doing it.

We were learning to: Work together and make a video to show our understanding of a part of the story. 

For our reading group we had to pear up with a buddy and use whatever thing we wanted to make. For an example a comic, Video or animation.
So I paired up with Georgia and we used puppet pals to make a video. If you would like to watch our video about Maui and the Jawbone click on the link bellow.
