The Holes Movie Trailer

For the Best Blog on the Block I did an extra activity!  I chose to do a movie trailer with a couple of other people.  I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't post the actual trailer on my blog.  I was really proud of us when we had finished making our trailer because we only had 2 days to finish!  Even though we only had 2 days to finish our trailer, the end product was amazing!  The thing I think we could have done better was cutting out some bits of music so we could hear some people talking!  A long the way I learned how to edit!  Now that I know how to edit I can each more people how to do that!  I had really fun making a movie trailer for Holes!  I would definitely do something like that again!  I think that our movie trailer is an overflowing jar of honey!

Can YOU find the names?

For the best blog on the block challenge I decided to a extra task so I created a word search!  The word search has some characters in it!  I think it is a really hard word search, so good luck!

Can you crack the code?

If you can crack the code, you can see the answer to this joke:Why is Peter Pan always flying?

My Dream Holiday!

This is my Dream Holiday!  I decided to go to the great Gold Coast because my family's there and because there is lots of fun theme parks you can visit!  The hardest thing to do was finding the right flight with the right dates!  If I could go on this Dream Holiday I would be so, so happy because I put loads of fun things in there!  The thing that I really want to visit is Seaworld because it has not only fun rides but sea animals you can look at!  I think that I put a lot of time and effort into this and I have created a slideshow that's a overflowing jar of honey!

The speech competition!

This week, I was chosen to go and represent Ngatea Primary in the Hauraki Plains Speech Competition with Georgia!  I did my speech about Animal History!  We presented our speeches at the college hall!  I was really nervous and had so many butterfly's!  We got to sit on a seat with our name on it, which I thought was really cool because it felt like I was a VIP!  There were 9 people sharing speeches in the age category year 5/6.  I was going up 8th!  When I was up there I was focusing on speaking loud and being very clear!  I got up there and I dropped a card in the middle of my speech, but even though I dropped a card I kept on going!

Later it was time time to hear the results!
"First place with her speech about Animal History.. Paige Tevita-Williams!"
I came first!  I was not only proud of myself but I was proud of representing my school!
It was an awesome experience saying my speech and I will definitely try to be in that place next year!

Movie Reflection!

This is my Movie Reflection for the movie Holes!  I thought it was so cool that our teachers let us watch the movie!  What was even cooler was that they provided us with popcorn and lollies!  I am really thankful for that!  Thank you Whetu Teachers!

USA!

This is my book cover for the amazing book, USA!  I am really proud of how my book cover turned out because I'm really bad when it comes to doing stuff digitally.  I chose the colours red and white for the background because on the American flag the colours are red and white!  The hardest thing to create was probably doing the sheep because I had to use a mixture of shapes and the tool scribble!  The easiest thing to do was pick the font because I already had an idea of what font to use!

This is the back of the book I created.  I did the same colours on my front cover for the background!  I think I did a good blurb on my book, good enough to convince you to buy this book!

My CAKE!!!

For the past 2 weeks I have been busy creating my FABULOUS FINISH for the book Holes!  I decided to make a cake about Charles Walker, also known as Trout because of his smelly feet! Sorry I didn't make a real tasty cake.  I decided to make a cake because I thought that it was just a really unique way to present something!  I made a cake with slices that you pull out to see what other people think about Charles Walker.

The first thing I had to do was make the base of the cake.  It took me about 2 days to make 6 slices!  I was really proud of this because I thought I would have taken 1 whole week!  Once I had created my 6 slices I was ready to paint!  I wanted my cake to stand out and be really vibrant, so I decided to paint my cake a bright yellow and pink!  The painting took a bit longer then I expected to, but in the end I had a cake that satisfied me!  When the paint had dried the next step was to write the information on pieces of paper!

When I completed that it was time to decorate!  I made icing on the side and little rainbow sprinkles!  For the icing I just got little bits of paper, coloured them in, scrunched them up then hot glued them to my cake!  For the sprinkles I just got rainbow coloured tape and chopped of little bits to stick on my cake!  Decorating was by far my favourite stage of creating my cake.

When I finished I was really proud of how it turned out!  I put a lot of effort into my cake and I think that effort had pulled off!  I definitely think that my Fabulous Finish wasn't only an overflowing jar of honey, but better then all my other Fabulous Finishes!

Central Park 5

This is my research about the Central Park 5.  The task was to research about people that were wrongly convicted by police.   We had to research about this because Stanley was wrongly convicted of stealing a pair of shoes.  I don't know what to call my creation but I think that it looks awesome.  The reason why I chose to research about the Central Park 5 is because I had heard about it before.  I feel really sad for the 5 boys that were accused of doing this crime because they were so young and the police wasn't even sure that they did it.  I think the only reason why police convicted those boys was because they had a different colour skin.  I like the colours that I chose for my Chapter Chat because I think that the bright colours make it pop!  I really enjoyed making my Chapter Chat.  The thing I enjoyed most doing was getting information about the Central Park 5.  The thing that I think I could've done better is not writing things up side down.  I loved creating my Chapter Chat this week.  I think the effort I put in was really high!
