Second walk.

For my second walk I decided to go to Kaiate falls with my dad.

It was lots of fun, One thing I didn't like was the stupid steps!!! You had to walk up and down, Up and down. I just felt like dying.

I would love to go swimming there next time! I didn't even think about swimming this time :)

Here are some photos from the walk.

Holistic vets.

Last Friday I volunteered at Holistic vets, it was lots of fun as I got to help sweep the floors and look after the 'arrc' wildlife cats and kittens. I have considered coming back every friday to volunteer. The staff were very kind and I was busy the whole time. Overall it was heaps of fun and I am looking forward to coming again.

Teaching Nico Twinkle Twinkle

This weekend I went to my little cousins house to teach him how to sing twinkle twinkle little star, He started to understand it, and starting singing as well, I really enjoyed spending time with him. I never realised how hard it is to teach young children, And It takes a lot of energy and time and commitment. They'll only do it if you make it fun and interesting.

My walk around Johnson reserve.

On saturday I went for a walk around Johnson reserve, With my dad and my dog, I saw some cool waterfalls. In the summer we often go down the waterfall.

I also saw some bees in a tree, They have also put in new fences and taken down more trees. It was freezing. I couldn't wait to get into my warm car.

Volunteering at the vets

This friday I am going to volunteer at Holistic vets. I will take pictures when I am there. I chose to volunteer here because they saved my cats life. And they deserve it.

My How to video..

Today I made a how to video. A pmi for this is:


 A postive: I really enjoyed making this and I got it done, I enjoyed the end result as it looked good and was uploaded on time.

 A minus: I found it hard caping with the noise in the background when recording, I was helped when my teacher let me record outside

 A intersting thing: I found out that you can add voice effects to iMovie. This will be good for when I'm making mini movies because I can make them sound more realistic and interesting.

I overall enjoyed this experience And I look forward to working with iMovie again.

I am happy as I achieved the success criteria. Next time I will record all of my voiceovers outside and Make a better effort overall.

Here is what I had to do: I am making a how to video on an origami Panda.

Camera Angles

Refer to this guide and think about what are the best camera angles to use and why.

Your ‘photographer’ should know what you want.

Direct your photographer. Tell them to take a photo from here or here, from this angle or that angle. Make sure they know what you want!! Ask them to show you the photo. Give them feedback if it is not right. Think about your audience. Will they be able to SEE what to do from the photo.

Here are my success criteria.

• Title
• Subtitles for each step of the method
• Voice overs for each step of the method
• your movie shows continuity (colours, subtitles and fonts are the same throughout.

My last meal

Today I made my last  3 course dinner for my Italian nonna. I enjoyed cooking it because I got to taste the soup along the way. Here are some photos of tonight. 

Creating three three course meals has been an extremely fun and hard homework challenge for me.

It has taught me how hard my mum and dad work every night!

I hope I get to cook 3 course meals more often from now on.

Nico part 2: Twinkle Twinkle little star.

As I couldn't see my little cousin today. I practiced teaching him how to sing twinkle twinkle little star on Skype  It works better because he had to look at me doing it on the screen. He laughed and seemed to really enjoy and started to do some of the actions. I think this means he is starting to learn it.



 Next weekend my Auntie and Uncle are coming to stay at our house. I will get my mum to get a kids CD with twinkle twinkle little star on it as she's a teacher.

Then we can have another go.

My Recycled art lantern

Today I made a lantern out of a baked beans tin and a metal hairband. I got the idea from Pinterest and I decided to give it a go today. I thought it could make good gifts.


Here are some photos.

20 hour eating famine

Yesterday I did the 20 hour eating famine. I was surprised that it wasn't too hard and I was able to pull through. I am happy to be helping kids in Bougainville who go through this every day.Here is a screenshot of my money raised.

Letters to Sunlive.

The reason I ended up doing the 10x10 grid was because I had tried to get an art gallery review posted in there. But The lady stopped messaging me. Here is proof

Homework 10x10 grid!!!!

Today I took on the mighty 10x10 grid in under two minutes.
Here is my result. It took me 5 goes to get it!

CSI writing

Once upon a time I was sitting at my desk in the Twin towers when all of a sudden I heard a big BOOM coming from the first tower. I looked out of my dads window and what I saw shocked me. I grabbed my laptop and sprinted quickly down the stairs. On our way down there was an explosion in our building. I was lifted off my feet and thrown down the stairs I went straight flew the window. That was the last I remember.

-Two days Laters-

I woke up to the blinding light, I reached over and what I saw shocked me.My family was beside me. I tried to stand. The pain was searing. “Wheres Linda?” I asked. Linda was one of my best friends and worked into the office next to me. The last I saw she was running to the elevator.By the guilty look on my familys face I knew what had happened.

My homework service challenge.

This weekend I have started teaching my 3 year old cousin twinkle twinkle little star. All he did was laugh at me and crawl over me, but at least he was having lots of fun. I think I could have done it better by saying the lyrics before singing and showing him a video of it. Also he didn't look at me when I did the actions so next time I will face him and do it. Fingers crossed he gets it soon, cause I'm sick of the song already! But thankfully he's pretty cool and I'm enjoying spending time with him.

My second meal.

Tonight I completed my second three course meal for my homework. I made stuffed mushrooms, roast chicken and chocolate brownies. I decided to not do rice because we had more than enough food.
I enjoyed cooking the chicken because I was making it dance but then I got in trouble, lol.
My Dad said that he loved the mushrooms. He also said that next time I make a roast chicken, I should make gravy.
My Mum said that I did a great job and overall great effort. My mum gave me a score of 8/10.


Here are some photos of tonight.
