My Genius Hour Project

For my genius hour project I chose to focus on old and modern cartoons. 

I chose it because I thought it was a fascinating topic and no one else has done it.

I also wanted to learn about Walt Disney and other cartoon makers. I hope you enjoy!

My Artist Project

My Artist DLO

This term Rimu class have been working on NZ artists. We all chose an artist to do a presentation on and then paint on a canvas. I chose Marion Towns to do mine on. I chose her because she only paints nature. I think that learning about NZ artists is important because we need to learn about different ways of painting so we can have more affective paintings.

Collaborative Doc

For Digi Day Chloe, Nikita and I made a shared document and wrote some stories about one of these characters. I liked writing a story about Ancient Rome and it was good to see what the others were writing and having people comment while I was writing. It was good reading more advice on how to make it better instantly. 

Some of our comments.

My Holiday

The Holidays

In the Holidays I went to the West Coast to see my dad. It was a three hour drive from Christchurch to my dad's house; it got really boring. There was lots of beautiful scenery.  

This is where we went.

We went on many walks.
This is the first one we went on, The Brunner Mines historic site.

This is Henry my sisters cat.

This is me and my dad's dog RJ

My 100wc

The Wedding 

The sea glistened like a sparkling, silver mirror. I could see the reflection of the moon shining down on us. I glanced over at Melissa. I Started sweating; my palms were saturated. I wanted to say something but I couldn't speak. She looked at me, her smile glowing in the moonlight.

"Ahh Melissa I want to ask you something"

"What?" She said shyly.

"Melissa Ella-Grace Tedd will you marry me?"

"Yes Yes"

The next day they were married; it was a small gathering of friends and family. They drove off into the sunset and lived happily ever after.

My Speech

Why Should Students Have Cell Phones At School

I chose this topic because I thought that it was an interesting topic to look into and I wanted to focus on something that no one else has done. 

How To Write A Quality Blog Comment.

Writing quality comments give you a digital footprint.And is helpful when you want more information about what the writer wrote. 

Digiawards

Rimu have just finished making their digi awards. Sophie and I chose the Ripple Effect; it was hard to choose an everyday hero but we got there in the end. I learnt how to add music of your own in and cut videos. If I did it again I would make the video a bit longer and put more detail in. Here is mine and Sophie's, hope you enjoy.

Are there any improvements we could've made?

Let us know in the comments :)

Cinderella performed in NZSL!

NZSL 

In our class at the moment we are learning NZSL. Every Tuesday Nadia comes in and does fun activities with us that involve sign language. This is my favourite activity!

Yms VS Weedons

The yr 7-8s  versed Weedons school in a game of hockey and football. In hockey we tied 3 all but it was a challenging game. We are a good match for each other.

Genious hour Update

1. What was the first cartoon ever made?                       Disney's first notable breakthrough was 1928's Steamboat Willie, the third of the Mickey Mouse series, which was the first cartoon to include a fully post-produced soundtrack, featuring voice and sound effects printed on the film itself ("sound-on-film").

Genius Hour Update

One of the very first successful animated cartoons was Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) by Winsor McCay. It is considered the first example of true character animation. At first, animated cartoons were black-and-white and silent. Felix the Cat and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit are notable examples.
