Harold the giraffe

 Walt: Make a DLO on Harold the giraffe 

Reflection:

I found it easy to write down the things I had learned in the Harold car.

I found it hardest to remember what I learned in the lesson.

Next time I will add more giraffe photos.

The night off the storm

Walt: Create a character writing story

Today we had to do character writing stories where we pretty much designed a video game character! We wrote a story about it, we also had to draw a picture, mine is below. We got to write a story about anything we wanted so I created Dusk and his story. 

Dusk

The thunderous crash of waves boomed across the rocks! The little egg rolled across the deck of the damp ship. The egg rolled off the wrecked ship and rolled down the cobble steps into the abandoned basement of the lighthouse. The steps draped with seaweed with a slippery texture and slimy goop dripping down the walls. The black pebbled egg rolled into the corner of the cave where it began to hatch.

The black pebbles flaking off the egg and the shell crunching and the shell sliding off. Black paws emerged from the egg and a creature midnight black tumbled out, everything went quiet the only thing heard was the ferocious raindrops beating on the island like a drum. 

Four years later the storm was exactly the same, the current roaring, the rain hammering down, and the same creature in the same cave.  The darkened wings of the dragon shone a deep ebony black shrouding its masked face! The tail was long and scaled with wings poking off in the shape of an arrow quill. Dorsal plates crept along its spine to the top of its head. It has stubby legs underneath with blunt claws. The eyes shone a startling emerald green showing the wilderness and telling a story at the bottom of the cave in the abandoned lighthouse. 

The beast lay on the stone floor of the cave thinking about the cries of the men of the day of the shipwreck. The memory was faint as the creature was just an egg. The last thing he heard apart from the rolling thunder was the name Dusk, the only thing it had heard while rolling off the damp hollow deck. That was the creature's name, Dusk. Dusk shook his head and stretched his big black wings. He crept up the cobble steps like an elusive shadow. Dusk lifted his wings and with one ginormous flap lift of.

The creature flew over the sea wind howling as he bent his wings bending through the sea stacks, the thunder crashing on the waves and the sea stack tips. SUDDENLY a grappling hook gripped onto Dusk's ebony black wings yanking him in as he made attempts to blow up the chain.

The next thing Dusk remembered was waking up in a cobblestone cave but not in his cave in the abandoned lighthouse! There were rusty steel bars blocking his way out. Dusk let out hopeless roars and thunder shocks in an attempt to dent them and getting out.  Dusk heard the rattling of chains and footsteps coming his way.

I found it easy to publish the story on my chrome. 

I found it hard to come up with the story in my head. 

Next time I will add more descriptions. 

Avatar skin

Walt: Design an avatar for a get into gaming character 

Name: Slenderchu 

I liked colouring in and doing the shading the most

I found it hardest to come up with an idea for it

Next time I will add more details

 

Satistics

Walt: Do maths statistics slide deck  

Reflection:

I learned that the name of all the bar graphs and surveys are under the branch of statistics 

I found it easiest to solve the bar graph on fruit

I found it hardest to do the graph on surveys about walking biking and reading

Next time I will choose a better colour to do the writing to make it more visible

Manaakitanga

  

 Walt: Make a DLO on Manaakitanga 

reflection: 

I found it easy to write down the meanings of Manaakitanga

I found it hard to choose a font/background 

Next time I will add some more pictures of Manaakitanga

The backward cake

 The backward cake

Before

  

Golden frosting lit the detailed masterpiece, it glowed with sprinkles. The fondant flowers had every unique detail! The candles are perfectly crafted onto the side of the cake. The geode crystals aka rock candy sticking out perfectly textured! The glitter gives the masterpiece an extra shine to top it off. The icing Swirls matching the style of it in light blue pastel buttercream. There were pipings dripping down the side of the concoction making a fabulous drip effect. Chocolate blocks sticking to the side of the magnificent work.

After

It was what Katie had imagined, but there was a difference between dreams and reality. Katie was 14 and Sophie was 12. It was their mum's birthday and they planned to make her a cake while their dad took her out for dinner. Instead, there were cake splats over the floor and walls with sprinkles to the top! The fondant stretched and wrapped across every surface. The sink was flooded and the windows baked with egg. Katie and Sophie were on their hands and knees scrubbing their life away. The two girls heard the key rattle in the door, they heard people in the hall, it was like being in the terminator!

I enjoyed making up the story in my book

I found it hardest to review my work and change it

Next time I will divide it up better

Esports

 Get into gaming

Walt: Understand what gaming is.

I learned that esports is a way of gaming with a whole platform for gaming and it also has many different games on its platform.

I also learned that people give prize money of millions towards gaming especially on esports because it's such a big gaming platform.  

5 interesting facts about gaming:

1. Gamers can earn up to millions of dollars from gaming.

2. People hold massive gaming competitions.

3. Call of duty was the most played game of 2020.

4. Ninja is the highest-paid twitch streamer.

5. The highest selling console was the PlayStation 2.

Reflection:

I found it easy to answer the questions in the gaming video.

I found it hard to choose to remember what to write down facts-wise because it was hard to remember everything going on in the video.

Next time I'll choose different esports facts that are more detailed.
