A Matariki Ebook

Hey bloggers, Today we've been doing animations, puppets and books explaining Matariki for young people to understand. I made an Ebook on Book Creator, but couldn't upload the Ebook, so I decided to take screen shots and put it onto each individual slide. The book took me quite a bit of time and finding the images were time consuming. Matariki is one of the most important myths and beliefs particularly for the maori culture. I hoope you've learnt more about Matariki that you've might've not know. Do you like my layout for each of the pages? Did you find the story amazing?

Checking in on the Birds :/

Hey bloggers, today we've been diving into more about patterns and working out their equations. We are investigating into their patterns of hatching, growth and population, as we used our skills to the test, having to know BEDMAS, linear equations and our inferencing to order answer the questions. I think the hardest part in getting the equation for the years of a specific amount of population, also got some help from my brother for the last question!:) I hope you've think that finding patterns can be fun and amazing! Do you know who's Taki (since I've never heard of him)? Did this made you more into patterns?

Great and Important Genre

Hey bloggers, this week we've been looking into the Music, it is easily the most important Genre to ever exist, because it change the way of making films and it made other Genres that wouldn't exist. In the slide is my two comparisons between The Little Mermaid and The Greatest Showman being 20 years apart. I explain the description of the story for each and finding out the similarities like what they both tell us. Musical and all the other Genres can have a whole lot going on, that might show us a secret message behind them. What do you know about Musical? Do you think that all Genres can be interpreted?

Hell of Horror

Hey bloggers,  this week for literacy, we've been looking into the genre Horror. We'd did writing about Urban Legends and even looked at the conventions which make this genre a genre. This a an introduction and a bit of a dramatic endless story that I'd haven't finish continuing on. My story contains all the classic conventions of horror and will give you a spark to creep the hell out of people and I would like you to continue writing this thrilling horror about a group of teens who got into trouble of finding a solution. I hope you've enjoyed the story. What could I add to improve my story? Do you think it builds suspense?

Awesome ASCII & Binary

Hey Bloggers, today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers. You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself! Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image above! 

Now you've known Binary and ASCII, you can make your very own one, also using beads or on paper. I also recommend to show your friends and family how to make their own initials with the things that you've learnt! If interested more, there are lots of fun stuff like coding you could do like Kaggle, Silent Teacher and Little Dot Adventure, to get into solving codings.

Can you find more things about Binary or ASCII? Do you think the image shown above is correct or not? Did you try it yourself? If did, you should post about it. :)

The battle of education

Hey bloggers, today I'll be discussing education. This is an image that I'd chosen even if I don't know who made the art. But to me, this means that in some countrys, education is very lnstructional and that you had to follow instructions one by one. Without any creativity, this way of learning in my opinion is very inefective and boring. But on the right side is filled with creativity and that you can do much different ways to present your work, that you learn many different ways to learn. It easily adds extra excitement to your general learning with happiness. Between the two of them, they are still on a battle and that both of the ways are still out there. Eliminating the left side of it is very important, to get many students, teachers and everyone into being creative, always being more open, every person derserves a fun education! Do you agree with me or don't you?

The Problem with racism

Hey Bloggers, this is my image about Rosa Parks, because I think racism is not good for our planet. I’ve also go bullied when I was younger by a girl called Jessie, who forced me to do whatever she told me to do. Rosa stood up to break through this faulty, improper matter. So everyone should have the right to do anything and also get a great relaxing life, no matter what race you are, and should never use that excuse to exclude others. Do you agree with me? Why?
