Bush Survival DLO

A few weeks ago, for our 4th William Pike Challenge Awards. We spend a day learning how to survive in the woods. When we came back we had to make a DLO (Digital learning object) about it.
We had a lot of choices and I picked to do a Kahoot quiz. Kahoot is a website where you can make questions up and have your whole class playing it at the same time, and whoever has the most points win. I've made a Kahoot quiz about what we have learnt from our bush survival strip! Sadly I don''t know how to link up a Kahoot. But anyways I leant a lot of things about my bush survival. Did you know that you can survive 3 weeks with out water?

Novel Study

At the start of term 3, we had to finish a project in 7 weeks called "Novel Study". You had to finish 5 compulsory activities and 2 electives activities. The book that I read was called "The Twits" by Roald Dahl. It took me about 2 nights to finish the book. But it took me a while to finish my Novel Study activities. However I finished before everyone else did. Because I managed my time really well; I did it at home and at school. 

Here's my google slide of my novel study!

Hope you enjoy!

BE THE CHANGE!

This year's Digi Awards theme is " Be The Change" and we picked "Bullying" as our topic because I think bullying should be stopped!

My group this year was Base, Gus, Jorja, Katie, Paige and I. For our category we picked movie making; and our expectation was:

~ Make sure the movie can make a change.

~ No more than 3 minutes.

~ Amazing camera work, editing, background music.

After focusing on our expectations; we made a plan on the characters, setting, and scenes.

It took us about 2 weeks to finish this movie, so I hope you enjoy because we spent a lot of time on this video.

Speech!

Speech!

 For the past few weeks Rimu Class has been working on our speech. First I decided on my speech topic which is " If I Ruled The World". After that I wrote my speech which took about a week. Then I print my speech out and stick it on a piece cardboard. And practiced it over the weekend. Finally it was time to present my speech, so here's a video of me presenting my speech. 

P.S turned the volume up!

I also represented the year 8 from my school to the Speech competition last Monday at Tai Tapu School. Before I stared I was SUPER SUPER nervous. And here's some picture of me at the speech competition.
