Ghost Running Gear

This term we are reading a book called Ghost.
The easiest part was finding a template for the shoes.
The hardest part was to continue the polyline.
Next tine I would make more running gear.

Smart Media

Today at Cybersmart we were learning to know how to verify online information and analyse the construction of digital media.
I found it easy to take a picture of the book because I didn't need to take off the background.
I found it hard to think of what I was going to do.
Next time I would make a more realistic bit of magic.

Rosary Diagram

In class we are praying the rosary because it is October, the month of the rosary. We had to make a digital learning object to teach people how to pray the rosary.
I found it easy to find a png labeled for reuse for the rosary beads because I used the Explore tool.
I found it hard to link all the prayers because they were all in separate boxes.
Here is a link to all of the prayers. How to pray the Rosary

Click! Snap! The elastic clipped on. “So.” I started nervously. “ I just run and charge at the foam attached with the velcro?” Of course, I knew what I was doing. Of course I was just stalling. Of course, I wanted to scream and run out of that bouncy run-up. But I just plastered a fake, shiny smile on my face. I stumbled to the back of the bouncy run-up. Charging, my heart pounded against my chest. Feet and hands slipped. Grip. I heard Aliyah sniggering. I heard my brother chanting my name, like my very on cheerleader. Rip! I grabbed the foam piece and breathed a sigh of relief as I slid backwards on my tummy. I felt so proud.

What is Media?

Today in Cybersmart we learned what media is.
Media is information, and it is all around us!
I found it hard to finish on time.
I found it easy to take a picture.
Next time I would take the background of the chromebook.

School Journal Comic

I class we are making a comic on our chromebooks from a school journal.
I found it hard to get everything in the right angle.
I found it easy to find reusable png images.
Next time I would add more tables.

The Endeavour

The hot sun streamed through the clouds as we joined the huge line for tickets of the replica Endeavour. Big cameras with furry microphones seemed to be everywhere! After what seemed like forever, my family, my sister’s godmother, and my friends, Tom, Rylee, Kylie, and Lara had got laminated tickets. Finally! After we snacked on pork buns and gyoza(semi-circled Japanese dumplings) we ordered real fruit ice cream. There was a huge line and it took 30 minutes to receive our ice cream! But, by the time we got our ice cream it was time to get on the replica Endeavour! So, there were two options. We could waste our REAL fruit ice cream by chucking it out on the side, even if it costs a whopping  $6.00!! OR, we could stuff the ice cream in our mouth, risking public humiliation. We chose the second option and gulped it down. Then I got a really bad feeling and almost HURLED! But, fortunately we got to the Endeavour and I was so amazed I gulped everything down. A burst of excitement overtook me as I clambered on the Endeavour. It was like I was taken back into a time machine and went back to the year 1769.Then there were “Ooohh’s” and a lot of “ Aaaahh’s”. (Which really got on my nerves.) Thick, worn ropes climbed up, and up. Slick, black cannons were placed on either sides of the boat. It was hard to believe that James Cook and his crew sailed the world on this! It made me want to hurl thinking about rocking forwards and back, forwards and back,  rocking forwards and back. Again! The crow’s nest was 14 metres tall! The net up to the crow’s nest was on the edges. The sun’s rays poured out and I started to sweat. It was so… HHHOTT! And also, very… HHHOOOTTT!!! Oh, and did I mention… HHHOOOTTT?! A man suddenly motioned for us to come out. Already? The crowd made disappointed groans and filed out. As I looked back at the majestic Endeavour, a new memory was complete.
