Awesome Art

Hey Bloggers in Inquiry we have been researching global issues and I decided to dive deeper in to gender inequality. Something that I found really unfair was that there are hardly any CEO girls in the world. So I decided to do my art piece about it. 

  I decided to do a collage because I love doing collages and also I thought I would look awesome. What's your favourite part of it?

Magic Matariki Puppet show

Hey Bloggers because Matariki is coming up my teachers decided that we had to create something that explains the Matariki story. In case you don't know what Matariki is, it's a constellation that marked the beginning of the Maori new year. So me and my friends decided to make a puppet show about it. We found it a bit hard to get proper camera angles, but in the end it worked out pretty good.

What is your favourite character in our puppet show? If there is anything I can do to improve please comment below!

Comedic Comic

Hey Bloggers, we are learning about irony! Did you know there are three kinds of irony verbal irony, situational irony and dramatic irony. Verbal irony is when someone says "We're having great weather!" when in reality it's pouring. Situational irony is when for example, someone go's to a football game decked out in red and shouts blue, blue. Dramatic irony is when a actor doesn't know what's happening but the audience does. We had to do a comic about irony. 

 

What kind of ironic comic would you make?

Awesome ASCII

Hey Blpggers! Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers.  You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself!  Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below! 

This is the process I went through to figure it out:

What do you think?  Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?  Could you have a try for yourself?  Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?
