Cybersmart Copyright challenge!

In one of our cybersmart sessions we were assigned this challenge to fill out a template of our self using images that had to be labeled for reuse with modification. I found it hard to source the images from the internet and thinking of what to put in the boxes. But apart from that I thought it was quite easy to do. I even found images for everything and I could use all of them as well! Please leave a comment on my work.

Lockdown free write!

In the lockdown while learning at home we did a free write about the lockdown and how we think of it. I found it hard to put all of the points together. This is my piece of writing: please leave a comment.

The lockdown. It's stripped us of our freedom by keeping us in our neighbourhood at all times. However, it’s for our own good. New Zealand has eliminated the virus. It's working. Unsurprisingly, cases have dropped since the start of the lockdown. It IS working. This isn't all for nothing. We have successfully eliminated community transmission in New Zealand according to David Clark and Jacinda Ardern. So far, it has been the best possible outcome that could have happened to NZ.

 I think that Jacinda Ardern has handled this crisis very, very well. She has led us through these unprecedented times very well and even my mum- who is a national supporter- thinks so too. If we hold together and listen to the experts, we can get through this. I know we can. New Zealand is setting an example to other countries, by managing to win the battle against Covid-19. But we still have not won the war. That's a long way off, but we'll get there. Recently, we moved into level two. We have been steadily moving down levels and soon we might be in level one.

 It IS working. This isn't all for nothing. By listening to the experts and the government, we have successfully eliminated covid-19 from New Zealand for now, and before we know it, we could be back in glorious level two. kia kaha New Zealand.

My covid reflection video!!!!!

This week at home one of my tasks for home learning was to make a WeVideo on the things we like about the lockdown and then the bad stuff about the lockdown. I made mine into a video call of four people, but the four people are just me. The hard thing was to edit and sync the videos together. I made so many videos and only used four. Overall, this task was really fun even if it took me a whole two hours to film, edit, and export. I am very happy about the finished product. Please leave a comment!

ANZAC presentation slideshow!

In Hub Mako we have been doing slideshows on the Gallipoli campaign and the ANZAC soldiers that went. I already have quite a reasonable knowledge of the campaign so it was really fun for me. Unfortunately, me and my family missed the thing at 6.00 in the morning were we stood at our letterboxes, but I did stick a poppy and a sign on our letterbox.  Here is my slideshow, I hope you like it.

ANZAC Backgrounds!

Since it is close to ANZAC day, Hub Mako has been doing lots of ANZAC-themed work. So for cybersmart today (23/04/20) we have created a sunset background on google canvas, which is basically Google's photoshop, but not photoshop because you cant load photos onto it. (I think). ANYway, I hope you enjoy my ANZAC sunset background:

About ME!

I enjoyed this activity. It was fun to learn new things on google drawings and make our thing as cool as possible. I learned lots of cool things and I am happy with the result. Here is my about me:

Term 4 and whole year recount!

I think the past year has been one of my best. My time as a student at Wainui Beach School is drawing to a close, but I have had a rich six years as a student of this school. I feel I am ready to transition to Gis int and I want to end the year on a high.

I think one of the best experiences from this year has been Camp Kaitawa and the Google Summit in Auckland. They were both out of Gisborne and were both well worth the trip. I have had lots of experiences this year, such as Inter School rugby, School Patrols, House Captains, and many many more. I have achieved lots this year and I hope to achieve more and new things at intermediate. I hope to achieve my goal for the end of the year, which is to win the Kohn cup, which would be the best possible way to end the year for me. For those who do not know, the Kohn cup is a cup presented to a year six boy and the winner gets their name placed on the wooden board at the back of the hall. There is also the Collier cup for year six girls.

Again, I think I have had an awesome time this year and in my time at WBS and I will be content when I leave this school. I learnt so much and will learn more in my new school. Some of my friends are going to different intermediates and I will have the opportunity to make new friends, while retaining some friends from WBS. Please leave a comment.
