Word of the Week

The word of the week this week was Oblivious. Oblivious means unaware of what is happening around you. I think that I found the right meaning for oblivious and I'm really happy with my google drawing this week. I think that the word for this week was more challenging than the others but still wasn't super hard. I rate my work a Supernova because I checked my sources and made sure I was getting the right answer.

Egg Carton Creation

EGG CARTON CREATION

This week for our Whetu Challenge we created something using egg cartons.

For my creation, I made a lizard but it turned out to be a snake so I guess its a snake. The materials I used to make my snake was an egg carton for the body, blue/ purple paint for colouring it, pink wool for the tongue and googly eyes obviously for the eyes.

I had so much fun creating my snake ( lizard /snake) because even though I stressed about time a bit I still had so much fun creating my plan, painting and creating my snake.

I think the thing I would do differently next time would be cutting out my egg carton before school so I have extra time to paint and focus on all the little details on my snake but in the end, I think I sort of managed my time well.

In my opinion, the creation was pretty easy if you had control of your time and had your idea locked in your head. But if you didn't I think it would have been a real challenge and I probably wouldn't have finished.

In the end, I'm not the biggest fan of my work and I think I could have done better with more time but I think it was all about having fun and challenging yourself to be creative. And even though my creation didn't turn out to well I think I achieved something at the end of the day.

Word of the Week

For the word of the week, it was cacophony. A cacophony is a harsh mixture of sounds with no harmony. I had lots of fun finding out the meaning of cacophony and finding a way to use it in a sentence. I rate my work a Supernova because I checked my sources for my answer and I tried to make my answer detailed. I would love to do the word of the week again next week.

Blog challenge

For Whetus blog challenge this week we got to become interior designers! We had two rooms we could choose from the first one was our bedroom and the second one was the classroom. I chose the classroom because my bedroom is already renovated. We had to design our room or classroom on google slides. I thought doing it on google slides was fun and interesting  because I've never done it before. I rate my work a Supernova because I added lots of detail to the classroom and I think it looks great!

My Read Predict and Write

Instead of doing a read and predict this week, we had to do a read, predict and write! I think I like the read, predict and write better than the read and predict because I can let my mind take me wherever I want when I'm writing and I can spill all my ideas and words onto the page. I think I like my story because I tried to make it short and interesting and I'm pretty sure I did that. I rate my work a Supernova because I really tried to make both my description and writing as good as I could make it.

Maths Mystery

For this post, I did the Maths Mystery. The culprit I got was Berniece Lowry. I think this mystery was so much harder than the others and it really challenged me.  I worked with Jessica to solve the mystery and she is a really good partner to work with. I think I got the right answer and I really hope that I get pulled out of the draw. I would love to do another mystery like this one because it really made me push and it challenged me a lot.

Roll a drawing

As my workshop today I decided I was going to try roll a drawing. At first, I had no idea what this was but a soon figured out that you had to roll a dice and it had something you had to draw for it. I drew some monsters and a spider and I'm really happy with them. I rate my work a Supernova because I think I nailed the shape and details of my drawings.

I didn't have time to finish and sharpie this one but I still really like it.

I don't really like this one out of all of them because I think it looks sort of gloomy because of the eyes.

This one is my favourite out of all of my drawings.
