Reduce Reuse Recycle

Today the seniors in my school went to Ilminster to watch a play they put together about Reducing Reusing Recycling. When we got back, our teacher had a great idea. We should make reduce reuse recycle posters. I chose to make a GIF on canva to step it up. Another way we can reduce waste is composting so this is my GIF on composting.

I enjoyed watching the play and learning so much about recycling! I also loved making a GIF because I could make it look animated by using a lot of slides! Like, how I have 54 pages in 12.1 seconds!

I found it tricky to make it look animated because it had to be lower than 20 seconds. So I made each slide about 0.1 seconds long. It made my whole thing 12.1 seconds.

Here is my GIF:

About Me

This week, we are starting with a new teacher due to our older teacher having a surgery. Our new teacher is just getting to know us this week and so we did an about me with what we like and don't.

I enjoyed making this about me because I got to write about everything I liked. I also enjoyed using Picrew to make an avatar. Picrew is a Japanese site that you can create things on. Like people.

I found it tricky to find out what I found tricky in school. I did not find anything tricky so I just deleted that box and moved another box into its place.

Here is my about me:

Stay Sunsmart!

Today for Cybersmart we were learning how to make a GIF on Canva. GIF stands for Generated Image File. We made a GIF about staying sunsmart during these hot days of Summer.

I enjoyed learning about GIFs because it is so fun learning about new stuff! Like, how GIFs can been seen on every type of device and how lots of people use them everyday.

I found it tricky to make it look animated because it had to be lower than 20 seconds. So I made each slide about 0.3 seconds long. It made my whole thing 19 seconds.

Next time I would add another sunsmart rule like play in the shade for it to be more interesting. I would also change the background on some of the slides.

Here is my Gif:

Parihaka Feather

This week for reading we were learning how to identify the main points. We wrote words that are like peace in a Albatross feather because the people of Parihaka said that it will be a sign of peace.

I enjoyed learning about Parihaka because it is new learning for me. I also liked making the feather because I used polyline so I could change the colour and add more detail. That is how I add the lines going through the feather.

Next time I would change the colour of the writing inside the feather to make it more interesting. I would also change the background as well.

Here is my Albatross Feather:

All Saints Day

Today is All Saints Day. All Saints Day is where we celebrate all saints. Tomorrow is All Souls day where we celebrate everyone who died. Did you know that there are lots of saints we don't know about?

I enjoyed learning about the saints because there are so many I have never heard of! I also liked doing the poster because I have not done one in a while.

I found it tricky to finish on time because I kept trying to make it look better. It took me quite a while to decide on a word font!

Next time I would try to make some better images and fonts. I would also change the background colour to just blue instead of a grey and blue mix.
