Celebrating The Maori New Year Through Animation.

Today I was learning how to make a frame by frame animation towards the Maori new year also known as Matariki.
I enjoyed testing out Brush Ninja, I thought it was a different way to showcase my work.
I found it hard to add more movement between the scenes and make the text look more fancy to look at instead of it looking quite messy.
My animation shows the stars popping up and getting ready to shine through the week.
Next time I would change the background just to make it look more interesting.
This blog post shows that I am /Stepping up/.

Micro bit!

In stem class we were introduced to a small gadget called a Micro Bit. A micro bit can be used to program different things such as Games,Robots,Music and heaps more. They can also communicate across other micro bits too. What I find interesting about them is that they are such a small piece of technology but the programming inside of it is fascinating. Since they are so small they can be taken anywhere like your pocket,hand bag and some times even small compartments.The Micro bit is a really clever and fun piece of technology to have at home or school to program with. I wonder if in the future they will become free to have in New Zealand schools.

I hope you enjoyed my opinion on the Micro Bit.

My Cooking Tech experience.

In cooking tech we had the chance to experience one of the very important life skills cooking.We would normally just get a recipe and just start cooking,well there was some safety procedures and some very helpful cooking tips but that was all apart of the tech class.Some of the ingredients we used were from the garden that we contributed and cared towards.In cooking we would also learn about presenting our food to make it look a bit more enjoyable. One other thing we talked about was keeping a tidy kitchen,that's always important to remember. Here is a list of all the recipes that we did Smoothies,Omelette,Waffles,Rice Risotto,Shrewsbury's,Pigs in a blanket,Apple crumble,Potato savories,Fettuccine,Brownies,cake in a mug and stir fry.
This might have been one of my favorites but to be honest I've enjoyed all of the tech classes.

Our Anzac Wreath

So the picture you can see is in memory of all those soldiers in our families that went to war. All the students in our hub contributed at least one thing towards this wreath, If it was a photo or even a poppy. This was our way of paying our respects to those who sacrificed their life for the next generation.

Moment in Time/The Arivings of the Endeavor

In Manaiakalani we learnt how to make our writing pieces more eye catching by using google drawings for short writing and slides for long writing,While using colours and fonts.The writing above is based around the history Gisborne has with the Endeavor. This piece is in the perspective of an Englishman hoping off the ship and seeing the Maoris as a threat to him as the rest of the men aboard.So how i saw this moment as an act of fear and on implause.

Chinese in New Zealand poem

Chinese in New Zealand
Their Presence would bring downfall,
Each nation has the right to decide,
But still they come.
They only want GOLD,
They are corrupt and greedy,
A POLL TAX is genius
-Alizeyah.


This poem is based around the events of the 1800s poll tax.It is the perspective of a New Zealander at the time of these events.We have                                                                                           learnt about the unfair and cruel times the chinese                                                                                     went through.
