American Slavery History Project WeVideo

I already posted the original slides but now I have posted my WeVideo! I did the slides with Dakotah but did the WeVideo by myself. i hope you enjoy and give me feedback!

Quality Blog Comments WeVideo

This is my first WeVideo I have done with our Manaiakalani program. I didn't want to add my voice in it because I don't really like listening to my voice on camera and video. It is actually my 8th official WeVideo and find myself quite an expert. Please give me feedback so I can improve on my video skills!

American Slavery History Project

Dakotah and I finished our history project on American Slavery. It took us roughly 2-3 weeks and I feel it turned out really good. I do think we could've added a bit more information about the slaves themselves but I think we slipped under the time frame.

Being an Upstander to when things go wrong.

Today we were learning to use PosterMyWall to make a infographic about what to do when things go wrong online. I enjoyed learning how to use a new tool instead of google drawings and google slides I found it hard to get things done on time because my internet was going really slow. Next time I would make the angry face into a transparent background image.

Word of the week - Week 9

In the Word of The Week reading activity I filled out this sheet that Mr.Norris gave us. I enjoyed doing it because it can be quick to complete. The hardest thing I found was that the 'config' wouldn't backspace and it's like it automatically froze into the sentence box.

My Ten New Words And Their Meaning - Week 9

 This is my second ever posted My Ten New Words And Their Meaning. I finished it on Wednesday. I like doing it because every time Mr.Norris gives us words that I could use in my writing.

My Ten New Words And Their Meaning

This is my My Ten New Words And Their Meaning for this week. My Ten New Words And Their Meaning is when we have to write the definition, 4 synonyms and a sentence of 10 words Mr. Norris has given us.

Word Of The Week - Week 6

This is my Word Of The Week. We do it every week and have to complete it by Friday. It's a Reading activity about us finding about one particular word and filling in the boxes.

Research Project: Extinct Animals.

I chose to do the Heracles Parrot after I saw it on the news last month. I researched about it and put the information on my slides. I hope you enjoy learning about this awesome parrot!

The Short Cut

As we exited the bakery I peered back at the baker, capturing his gloominess in my brain. I spin around to see my dad calling me and Elliot
into the car, “Come on Issy!”  Aunt Stephanie says. As we head of I picture the baker’s face once again, memorizing it until it fully sunk in.
Aunt Stephanie starts to photograph the amazing surroundings. “ Wowee, we don’t have a paradise like this in London!” She exclaims,
spinning around to face me, “you and my brother are so lucky to live here!” I think about what she said and opened my mouth to speak,
but just at that second, familiar voices started to overtake my words. But then something out of the ordinary happened…

I flicked my view back to the front of the car, and my face started to beam. I felt as if I were in a cinema, watching a movie premiere. There
he was, Brad Pitt. But he was there, directing the scene. My mind started spinning, firing different images into it, but just left me confused. I
just didn’t get it. After all theses memories, the baker was there. 

They all left and we drove to the lake, eating delicious sammies and drinking cold lemonade. We started swimming in the lake and then he
was there again. But he didn’t have his stern glare on his face, thus his face following with a smile and a bucket load of laughter.  Maybe he’s
never been here and he wanted to follow us and got caught up? Rethinking my thoughts, I thought it wasn’t possible. But anything could be
possible. Just after I let the thought leave my mind, Elliot questioned my dad.

“Uncle Eddie, why is the baker here?” he says making the exact same face whilst pointing towards the unknown face. “Honestly Elliot, I
have no idea. Surely he’s not the same guy.” Cocking his eyebrows, the answer wasn’t very convincing. We all agreed to change the
subject and enjoy our next few hours here. But I just can’t help myself wondering...

This piece of writing is a continuing the story. My teacher Mr.Norris wrote the beginning 3 paragraphs and I wrote what I was picturing. It's cool because everyone has something different in their writing. 

Speech Feedback and Info

My Speech was about why we should ban palm oil.
If you haven't watched it, there are MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD! So watch my video of my speech or if you prefer read my writing.

So, if you have watched my speech you may notice me saying 'If I was a billionaire, I would make change... ' and so-on.

I would like if you could give me feedback on my speech on this post to help me improve my presentation for next year!

I also hope you quit using Palm Oil!

Sincerely,
Selina

Science Project

I did the Science fair project with Dakotah. We did ours on cleaning sauce with Baking Soda and Vinegar. Enjoy!

My 2019 Speech Video-Palm oil

This is my speech. I did it on Tuesday in front of the class. I found it quite nerve racking to say it but I enjoyed watching my video with my family. I hope you quit using Palm Oil

Research Project: Meerkats - WeVideo

This is the most recent WeVideo i've completed. I did Meerkats because it was my best friend Rebecca's favourite animal. After you watch this, watch my Meerkats Animation and see the prey and the predators. Enjoy!

Research Project: Vietnam - WeVideo

This Research Project is about a country we didn't know basically anything at all about. I persoally thought it was really sad on what happened about a century ago but also thought Vietnam is a really interesting place that I would like to visit one day. Enjoy!

Research Project: Westpac Rescue - WeVideo

This Research project was one of the more interesting ones of all of them. I really liked working with Storm and it was cool that she drew the giant helicopter on our poster in class. I liked learning about all the jobs Westpac Rescue do for New Zealand.

Research Project Mahia: WeVideo

This was my 2nd WeVideo that I did with Dakotah. We did this research project on our research on Mahia after we visited for our 2019 school camp. It was really interesting about how much information such a little town can have! Enjoy!

Mahia Camp Highlights-WeVideo

This was my first ever WeVideo about our Mahia Camp trip we did in term 1. I would've posted it earlier but I only found out how to post videos today. Enjoy!

Research Project: World Oceans - WeVideo

This is my 3rd WeVideo about World Oceans. It is a research project I did with my two Best Friends Dakotah and Amelia. Enjoy!

Screencastify tour of my blog

This is my Screencastify tour of my blog. I found it hard to video it without getting other sounds interrupting my video. I'm sorry that I sound quiet! Enjoy and comment.

My 2019 Speech

This is my speech for this year. I wanted to do it on something that I would like to change or at least get the message out there that palm oil is damaging and destroying our world. I hope you agree with me.

My Narrative-Sapphire

This is a piece of writing where we had the choice of what we wanted to write. This story is about an orphaned boy living with his uncle and aunty at the circus. He makes a friend with an elephant named Sapphire.

My 2019 animation about Meerkats

I liked doing this because it was playful and fun to make this animation about a Meerkat's diet and one of it's predators. Probably the hardest part was to get it done on time.

Research Project: Meerkats

I think it was cool to research about an animal I am not familiar to. I also liked making the animation up above. Meerkats are really interesting animals.

My Profile

Today, we did our profile to show people on our blogs who we are. This is only a little bit of information about me. Enjoy my blog

Westpac Rescue

.
I had lots of fun doing this project with Storm. On our final product, we drew a giant Westpac Rescue helicopter in the middle of the paper. It was so interesting researching about the amazing things the Westpac Rescue team does.

Selina- Smart Passwords

I found it quite fun to experiment with the colour code, although I found it difficult to only use 2 colours and white. I couldn't help it and added in a touch of black. But it was cool to learn about how we can make our passwords smarter.

My T-shirt Design

A while ago, we did our own T-shirt design on our interests. Mine are: Music, Art and Science and my nickname is Salami. I had fun doing this activity because they were all my ideas.

Research Project: Vietnam

In Term 1, we were asked to do a research project on a country of our choice. I chose Vietnam and did research on it's famous landmarks, cities and native animal: The water buffalo. I found it hard to get lots of information on their landmarks. I hope you enjoy.

Taken-Narrative Writing

This is Taken. I had fun using my imagination to find an interesting plot to this piece of writing. It is my favourite Narrative so-far.

My X-Factor Narrative Writing

t
I liked writing this piece of writing because I like writing in sad and nervous emotions. I want to be an author when I grow up. I think I am getting better at writing descriptively for happy emotions.

My Polyline Drawing

Welcome to my first Gisint blog-post. I had fun doing this activity; once I got the hang of it, it was really easy. It was a bit hard to draw around my face without the polyline stopping and having to start all over again.
