James Norcliffe)

Walt use an increasingly descriptive vocabulary to add intrest to our writing.

Walt have some fun and be creative with ideas and imagination.

One Creepy gas mask so I don’t breath in deadly radiation dauntly staring    

                         at everything  hoping to lessen it’s courage.

  I will need one big white radiation suit with triple layers equipped 

                                  with an extra big black gas mask  

         I will need 4 sample glasses so I can get radiation as well as do tests
on                             

                                                                       myself   

                                                         Incase I get radiation.

                  One reasonably big yellow geiger counter to detect where the 

                                             BIGGEST radiation spikes are. 

                       I will need one sharp bladed machete to defend myself in case 

                                           Any big green pulsating mutants attack.      

                                           And I will need one big light brown rope 

                                               To help me climb up buildings and 

                                                              hills/mountains.

                                        And lastly I will need one guide to ensure

                                                   that I don't painfully perish.

Firstly, gaming doesn’t have to be defined by gory bloody and inappropriate language and images. Because there are games that are good for kids such as the games that help them learn math, geography, space, history and many more different subjects. One example for a game is called Adventure Academy a game made by Walt Disney which has quest adventures and you can also talk to your friends.




Secondly, Gaming is a great way for kids to express their imagination. Games can help kids express their creativity and imagination to create amazing things on games such as Minecraft a multiplayer, survival/adventure game which doesn’t have gravity except for blocks like sand and gravel.
It also proves other career opportunities such as you can enter in building competitions and win awards and money as well as have a fun time.

Toki Pounamu Film Festival

Toki Pounamu Film Festival
Recently we went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival at the Regent Theatre in
Greymouth. It was where local schools presented their own films based around
our land. My favourite film was the crime related one because it was based
around a pretend crime which had a robber who had robbed a bank and two
“cops”. It had good shots, camera angles, lighting and colour. It had good music,
speech and dialogue and good sound effects. It was filmed in a good location,
aka a big open field and it had an ok set, props and costumes. It had decent
editing and good visual effects.

My Kiwi Collage

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into it's habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?
