The Crystal Crescent Book Review

We finished the Crystal Cresent today. Raki got the Crystal crescent and freed Tando.

I did my review on slides.

I found it tricky to find a label to reuse cresent png.

I found it easy to use special characters for the stars.

 Next time i would an image for the star rating so I could crop it for a half star.

Camp Goals and Rules 2020

 Next week we are going to camp at a place called Tui Ridge. Our activities are slingshot paintball, abseiling, high ropes, rope maze, and laser tag.

On my camp goals I have to reflect when I come back from camp.

The Crystal Cresent #2

This is like my prediction except this is from the middle of the book.

Mysterious blue yak creatures took over Tando's mind leading her to the telotion.

Its like something's in the pool. We had to guess what was in the telotion pool.

This is my prediction and drawing.

when telotion stays in one place for about 100 years it forms powerful crystals. When you touch them they disintegrate, you absorb them and you have the power of the Blue Mist and can mind control anyone the only way to protect yourself from the blue mist is the White Mist, which can be sourced like the Blue Mist.

Here the crystals and the blue mist around it.

A Letter to the Editor

 Today for writing we did a letter to the editor.
There is a newspaper column in the Gisborne Herald where people can get their say.
We wrote about how the council isn't responding when we ask them to do their part and mow and spray the bushes at our rerenga awa so we can plant more native trees.
I found it tricky to start it.
I found it easy to give reasons why the should help us.
Here is my letter:
Dear Editor, 
I am a student at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School. Our School is a Green Gold Enviro School so we plant New Zealand’s native trees in our Rerenga Awa, River Garden. Rerenga means garden and awa means river. We want to encourage native birds and insects, freshwater creatures, and create a clean, clear river. But the blackberry bushes are stopping us from planting more. We can’t have a clean river or freshwater creatures because we can’t plant any more trees, and can’t provide shade. It is the council’s job to spray and mow those bushes. We have been to see the council, emailed them, and used their app, but we haven’t got a response. Surely, the council can do their part of looking after the environment.
Yours sincerely,
Catalina, Room 1 st Mary's

Service Poster

 This term's value is Service. Last term it was Faith. 
My success criteria was to 
*use a bible quote
*use a synonym 
*use a definition
*show what service looks like
*make it eye-catchy
*let my imagination run wild.
The best posters get 25 blessing beads and fingers crossed I get those beads!

I found it easy to made it eye catching.

Brownie Batter

 This week for writing we are learning how to use imagery using similes, alliteration, and juicy verbs.

Our cameo was an excerpt from "Joey Pigza Swallowed the key" by Jake Gantos.

I found it easy to use juicy verbs.

I found it tricky to use alliteration.

Sucking and licking the orange rubber spatula, my mouth watered and shook as the full oozing of sugar and chocolate took over my flavourless mouth.  Blissful brownie batter slid down my throat like a wet paint slithering down a wall. I savoured  every single drop. I scraped the bowl  with my finger because that spatula just can't reach the rest. What were fingers made for? I shielded my bowl from my desperate siblings. I looked back at the bowl wondering why it was now so sparkling clean. Then my eyes widened. I was ready to cartwheel 100 times.

Pop Art Andy Warhol #2

 Instead of using Lunapic this I used Artnet. 

Instead of doing separate filters it does it for you.

You can choose Andy Warhol Original, Andy Warhol Variation, Andy Warhol Variation #2, the one I used.

Next time I want to do it with paint instead of digitally.

Pop Art-Andy Warhol

 For Cybersmart/ art we did Pop Art. A man called Andy Warhol invented this, a new type of abstract and mordern art.
I found it hard to get all of the photos to have an equal size.
I found it easy to upload my photos.
If you want to do Pop art too you can do it using google drawings and Lunapic.

The second one is an effect called Warhol x9 in Lunapic. Its similar to the Artnet Pop art.

The Crystal Cresent

Our new book for reading for Fantastic 4 we have a book called The Crystal Cresent by John Lockyer.

Our task is to predict what its about. Here's the blurb:

'We can't avoid the moon. We're inside the atmosphere! We're going all the way down!'

The ozone layer has been destroyed and Earth is at risk. The only hope for human survival is to find the precious liquid telotion. When heated, telotion creates huge amounts of ozone. Raki and Tando are on a mission to find a source of the rare substance when they crash land on an unknown planet. What are the mysterious blue creatures they discover there? And why have they taken over Tando’s mind? Raki will face the biggest challenge of his life in his quest to find out and save them both."

I'm guessing that the "mysterious blue creatures" are aliens. I think that aliens are going to take Tando and hold her hostage and threaten Raki to give them something in exchange for Tando and telotion.
