Surprisingly Scary

 Hey Bloggers, how is lockdown going for you? In literacy, we have been studying different genres. When we have finished learning about all the genres we are going to make a movie! I'm really excited about that! Last year my friends and I did a western. The first genre we studied was horror, I don't love horror so I wasn't super pumped. We had to write a short horror story. I named mine Surprisingly Scary, it was a bit hard to come up with the title for my story. Do you ever find it hard to name your writing?

Do you like horror? I prefer other genres. Do you like writing stories? If you do, what kind of stories do you use? Do you like watching movies, what's your favourite kind? If there is anything I can improve on please comment below.

Bye Bloggers, Soph :)

Wonderful Water Cycle

 Hey Bloggers! How is lockdown treating you? For a Friday task, I had to make a diagram of the water cycle and where the water ends up. 

This task relates to my class's inquiry on water; we have been researching and finding out about the water cycle and what impact water has on the environment. We even watched two shows about water! our inquiry is leading to making wearable art based on water. I did this diagram on Google Drawings, have you used Google Drawings before? If you have, do you enjoy using it or do you use something else instead of Google Drawings?

Have you ever seen a diagram of the water cycle before? If you have, did it look the same as mine? I found it difficult to fit in all the words and not make it seem crowded. Do you enjoy learning about this? I find it interesting the sun is so hot it turns water into steam. Did you know that water can be a liquid, a steam, and a solid? If there is anything I can improve on please comment below.

Amazing Aladdin

 Hi Bloggers, This term we had our Aladdin production. I was one of Jasmine's handmaidens, my name was Rajah. We have been practising since week 3 of term 2. I am sad that it is over! It was a great experience!  Have you ever been in a production before? I have all the songs stuck in my head, it's annoying but slightly comforting at the same time. I had a pink costume, I didn't love that! Everyone who was in the production had to come to school with foundation and mascara. 

We had to earn lots of dances and songs. There were two casts, Tahi and Rua, out of the four performances each cast had two in which they performed. If it wasn't your night to act then you were part of the choir. For the production we had a special stage, backdrop and lighting put in for the production. It was really cool!

What is your favourite picture? If you have been in a production did you enjoy it? Has your school done production before? If they have what kind of one did they do? Did lots of people come in to watch it? If there is anything I can improve on please comment below
