Week 2 CC A way with Words

For the second week of Chapter Challenge, I decided to do A way with Words. The task was to create a letter from Ma if she was able to get in contact with the children. The hardest part was thinking of things to put in the space I had below because I had no idea that it was going to leave that much space. The best part was when I was soaking my letter in tea because I have never soaked something in tea before so it was a first time experience. I think I have created a Supernova because I haven't just written a letter and kept it on the doc I presented it in a really cool way.

Dear My Wonderful Children.

I am deeply sorry I was not able to make it to Grand Prospect with you. But do not fear for I am doing well. I have made enough money to pay for a ticket for the next train. I am planning to try and board the next train to Grand Prospect and find you. If you have decided to continue the race do not forget to be strong and look out for each other and remember all the things your father and I have taught you. I will try and find you but there isn't much of a chance I will. If I do not end up finding you during the race please do not lose hope in me. Because I will find you no matter what even if it means spending every last bit of the money we have to spare. And Sal make sure you keep everyone's spirits and hope up. Well, that is everything I have to tell you for now just remember I will never lose faith in you.
Yours sincerely
Ma

PS: I hope you had fun on the Vertical train.

CC Week 4 Term 1

This week for my first Chapter Challenge I decided to do Digital Design. I created logos for the Solemn team, Association of Women Explorers and Montys Mountaineers. The reason why I chose a Mountain for Montys Mountaineers is because mountaineers climb up mountains. With my second logo, I chose a dress for The Association of Women Explorers because most women wear dresses and I thought a dress would look really pretty I also added a quote at the bottom of the logo saying anyone can be explorers if they want to be. For my last logo, the reason I put a beaker for the Solemn team logo is that scientists use beakers when they are testing and studying things so I thought I would put something that relates to science. I think I have created a Supernova both with my Chapter Challenge and my description for this blog post.

Ashley's Visual Pepeha Blog Post 2020

Over the last week, I have been working on my visual pepeha.

I am proud of all the detail I have put into my pepeha I think it is a big step up from the pepeha I did last year.

What I found challenging was adjusting photos because there were always big gaps and photos of the same thing always ended up together but in the end, I figured out a nice place on where to put my photos.


I worked alongside Mia to create my whanau star.

First Blog Post 2020

Something that has surprised me this week is that on Thursday we got to do water game rotations.

The activity I have enjoyed the most this week is that we got to go on the slippery slide to cool off because we didn’t have the pool for the week.

A goal I have for myself this year is to be better than I was the year before and to reach higher standards than last year.

What I am most looking forward to this year is Cross Country because I'm training extra hard this year.

Someone I have helped so far is Ben and Olivia Taaffe with setting up their blogs.

How I aim to show our NPS ICARE this year is to keep looking after my school and community.

Christmas Research

For another one of my Christmas Countdown tasks, I decided to research about Christmas in the USA. This was really really fun. My favourite part was decorating my slides because I just really love decorating. The hardest part was finding some pictures of what I wanted because it just came up with random things. I really enjoyed this task and give it a 10/10.

Here is a link to my slide.

Christmas Wrapping

For my second Whetu Christmas Countdown activity, I decided to digitally make a Christmas Wrapping design. I made lots of digital Christmas trees and copied and pasted them all over the google drawing. I really liked how my activity has turned out. I enjoyed making the Christmas trees because I got to add as much detail as I wanted. I give this activity a 10/10.

Reindeer Recipes

For my first activity for Whetu's Christmas Countdown, I decide to make food recipes for Reindeers. For my first recipe I made a Rolled Oats mix filled with lots of fruit. This recipe was pretty easy because I just chose some really yum things and put them in and mixed them together.

For my second recipe, I made Carrot muffins I tried to remember 5hings my mum puts in her muffins and I just came up with measurements for all the ingredients this one was a lot harder than the first recipe because you had to prep all the ingredients and you had to bake them and remember important ingredients. I really enjoyed making these recipes and would love to do it again.
