Elvers (Uncle Don Know Heaps Of Wacky Stuff)

Hello! and welcome back to my blog or welcome too my blog if your new!.

Today I was tasked once again with creating a DLO on a subject in the book we have been reading bit by bit. (Uncle Don Knows Heaps Of Wacky Stuff)

My DLO was focused specifically on baby eels! Also known as Elvers.

( facts about Elvers )

Here is my work-

Before focusing on learning about Elvers I didn't really know what baby eels look like nor anything on them really. So it was quite fun learning something new about them!. 

I really like being able to do these DLOS as its a learning process for me on the topic and its quite fun designing and having this freedom with it. 

( I really like eels anyways. Whenever I go camping I'll always try and spot them in the rivers )

Term 3 reflection

What has been a term three highlight for you? A term three highlight for me was the lock down i dislike people. (like I don't like interacting)

How did you find lock down? Great as stated above I don't like people.

What has been your favorite subject this term? My favorite subject would have to be drama its quite fun and i really like it as were learning about melodrama tragedy and comedy.(just not the preforming part.)

What did you create this terms art kete? Nothing we just built stuff for challenges didn't focus on making anything. I hate all ketes id rather be in wananga. As ketes involve interacting with people and creating something. I for one hate interacting with people and also heavily dislike how we have to make something. As a lot of the time the project looks terrible or doesn't turn out well which i just find embarrassing to myself. 

What are you looking forward to in the holidays? Time to myself, Talking to friends, Spending time with family, SHUI!!, Binge watching shows, Sleeping and reading online.

Drama-Theater

Hello! welcome back to my blog or welcome to my blog if your new!. Today we were tasked with making a blog on what we have learnt in drama this term. Here is my work-

 Reflect

In drama this term we learnt about many different types of theater some of these include Melodrama, Comedy and tragedy ! (along with epic theater and physical theater.).

For drama we played a few games all quite fun for school. 

One of my favorites would have been the blink murder game. In this game there was the murderer and the "sheriff?". The murderers job was to blink at the normal players (which kills them) without being caught. The sheriffs job was to find out who the murderer without using up there three guesses. Yet as it was drama there was a catch. As and innocent if you were to die you had to preform a dramatic death like in a theater.

I really like this game as it was quite fun being so dramatic at a simple game. (and I genuinely like the game as I played it in primary school)

1. Tragedy-  Tragedy, this genre isn't one of my top faves as sometimes it can make me cry for days and sometimes it can emotionally move me to do something. A movie i have watched on this genre would be Avengers endgame. Even though only up to the end is where it gets really tragic this movie would still be one of the most tragic I've watched. Since i don't particularly like this genre that much.

2. Melodrama- Melodrama, Like tragedy its not one of my favorites yet sometimes it can entertain me with how dumb it is. I don't believe i have watched any movies on it to be honest. I think id remember if i did.

3. Comedy- I really love comedy as it can make even the most depressing scene funny. I have seen quite a few movies on comedy yet one i really loved was Zombieland (the first one i'm yet to see the second) even if it isn't particularly pg and is quite gory I love it. Even though I have Kinemortophobia.

Sand dunes

 Hello! and welcome to my blog or welcome back. Today we were tasked with reading chapters 8-11 on a book we have been reading. Along with that we were told to make a DLO on a topic that out book talks on. We even had to choose a DLO we don't use often or have never tried at all for the project.

For my DLO I decided to focus on sand dunes!. The little areas you can find on beaches that house animals and protect our inland.

Here is my work!-.

 

Reflection:

Using a new app for the DLO was cool in a way as I found out canva is actually pretty fun to use. Before this I had tried canva before but never fully used it nor fully explored it.

Canva is really fun and ill definitely be using it in the future for similar projects. Ill definitely test out other apps with how using this one turned out.

What happens in the cup?It froths up around your mouth.

Discussion:

Why did it foam in your mouth? I believe it foamed up in our mouth due to the acids reaction to our saliva as it does the same when out in your mouth alone.
