Hi! Are you stressed out? (Yes...)

Lost a game that you wanted to win? (Yeah...)

Well no worries! We are here with our AMAZING, STRESS BALLS!

Yes! These stress balls really help relief!

How to make stress balls:

Ingredients: Flour, Empty bottle (Small one), Balloons, Funnel (Optional)

Steps:

Firstly, Grab the empty bottle and the funnel, put the funnel in the bottle and put the flour in (The more you add the big it is)

Secondly, Blow up the balloon, and quickly put it on the top of the bottle.

Lastly, Turn the bottle upside down so the flour will go IN the balloon!

(You can also put decorations on it like: Grab a maker and start drawing silly faces on them!)

Art

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be sharing with you guys, about what we did for Art on, Thursday (April 11) So, sit back, relax and enjoy!
                                         
As you saw from above we were doing art on Thursday. Basically, there was 4 rotations of different, Art spaces: Cartoon, Pixel, Manga and, Bunnies. Each Home bases started in a different space, we started in, Cartoon.

For, cartoon. We used our chrome books and clicked us on a linked that brought us to a video on how to draw a cartoon character, but we could've picked another cartoon character to draw. I picked papyrus, a character from, UNDERTALE.

Next was, Pixel, we went on a site called, Pixilart. Before we did anything though, on the whiteboard, there was a, few, drawings we had to draw first. There was many of them: Pikachu, pizza slice, Mario, love heart face, sun glasses face, toothless, a banana and a, love heart (I think that's all of them) We we finished the pixel art, we got to search a pixel art up, and did it

Next was, Manga. We drew anime.

Finally, Bunnies. For bunnies we got handed a paper bunny with lines all over, we had to make patterns using only black and white. Once we finished, we had to cut him out, glue him to a card, then put some colourful glasses on him.

My favourite though, was, cartoon.I really hope you guys enjoyed what we did for, Art. I will be making more posts in the future.

What was, YOUR, favourite art?

PEACE!

Values

First of all, I will tell you, what the School Values are. We have: Respect, Compassion, Service, and Integrity. This year, our principle, Mrs. Earl has decided to change the ways our, certificates are given to us. Instead of getting a certificate that says, "Neru Collins, for showing PATIENCE" we will get a certificate, IF, we are showing the school values.

If you would like to know more about our school values, visit: [St. Francis values]

What values do, YOU, show?

Digi-awards

Hello, everybody! And, welcome... back to my blog! Today, I am going to be sharing with you my, Digi-awards! So, sit back, relax, and enjoy my blog post.

In W8. We got introduced to Digi-awards. Basically, we had to work with a buddy to make an: Animation, or stop motion, or even a scratch project, to explain; 'What, Greatness is.'

First, of course, we had to start with our planning. So we had to plan for the, Transition. We had to plan for the, script, etc, etc. You get the point. THEN! We started working on our project.

When, me and, Leo first started our Digi-awards, we were going to do a google sheet drawing, BUT THEN, I realised... "Dis iz gunna take 4evr" so we decided that we are going to do a....

STOP MOTION

 Basically, our stop motion is about: A short guy who walks up to a tall guy, and asks what greatness is.

Tall guy then replies, and explains... what greatness is.

This was a, LOAD, of FUN to do. Trying our best to succeed. Trying to make it gud. It was just a heap of fun!

I really hope you, ALL, enjoyed for what I do for, Digi-awards. 

And I'm wondering, what did, YOU guys do for Digi-awards?

PEACE!

Tech

Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog and today, I am going to share on what I am doing for Tech, every Monday. Now, sit back, relax and enjoy!

When we go to Tech: Now, as you read from above, Tech is every Monday, we go during lunch at about 1:40 or something like that. We catch a bus (From a lovely bus driver) and head off to Linwood College (Where Tech is held at) we then line up on the court, on our number (We are in groups for Tech, we line up at number 17) And then we head off, to resume what we were doing. We also get teachers to help us through the process (Obviously) my teacher is called: Mr. Osborn. He's really nice.

My first day at Tech, we had to make a die. (The other groups made different things: Wood and food) First, we got handed a sheet, it was basically a circle the right answer you think it is. Then we got handed a plastic cube. (Our die) We had a sheet to mark where to put our circles on it. We then: drilled the holes, sanded the cube, polish it, and then paint it. And that was it (I made it for my grandparents if they ever lost theirs) when the day is nearly over, we go back on the bus, back to school, then to home.

The next day we did the same thing, trying to finish our project. 

Second thing I made: The die was obviously not the only thing we made, our other project was... A KEY CHAIN, yes a key chain to make for someone/something (I did it for my dog) In order to do this, you need to: search up an image of the thing you are making in silhouette (Example: Search up Cat silhouette) copy the image, paste it on this doc thing (I forgot what it was, sorry) Outline the image, delete the filled in image, create two outlines of the thing you are making, put a square over it, put the square connected to it, so if you move the cat the square will come with it, save it on the folder: St Francis A7, and then Mr. Osborn will print it on the vinyl cutter. 

That was a long one, but we still have more to go.

Then you have to grab this pen with a little drill in it, cut the inside off, then stick it on a piece of plastic that you get, you then, sand blast it, polish it. THEN YOUR DONE!

FINALLY! WOO! That took ages. But it was really fun, creating new things, trying out new things, it was EPIC!

 But, when we finish our project, we have to make a phone stand, which I haven't started...

What do YOU guys do for YOUR Tech...?

I hope you guys enjoyed this REALLY long post, on what I did for Tech. I will be seeing you next time!!

RE, Reading, math and writing

Hello everyone! Today I am going to tell you about what I do for RE, Reading Math and writing. So, sit back, relax and enjoy!

For RE, we had to do similarities about life in New Zealand, compared to life in South Sudan. South Sudan is the youngest nation on earth and spoken with 60 languages.  The nation is, VERY poor. And the people there, must do what they got to do. To survive. Here's what I got so far.

1. What stood out for you from watching this video? Describe (1 paragraph) the similarities between life in New Zealand and the life of those living in South Sudan.

We both get up at the same exact time  We brush are teeth, we have breakfast but we have showers, which they don’t have.. And then get changed into our uniforms. We also pack our bags for school. We have similar subjects (ex. Math, reading, etc, etc) We eat our food at the same time when they do. We also have break times, to hang out with our friends.

I still have to work on it.

Now for Reading: In reading we all read different books, such as: Wild boy, and paint the town. For me I did wild boy, because it looked very interesting. Wild Boy is about a 24 year old boy, being the first person to walk around the ENTIRE New Zealand coastline, hoping  to raise $10,000 (But actually raising £30,000) for the Ronald McDonald house, Wild boy goes through MANY bad injuries such as: sheer cliffs, sharp and slippery rocks, dangerous harbours,and deep rivers. Drowning, injury, and

hypothermia were all real possibilities. This is actually a, VERY interesting book to read, and I highly suggest you read it too! (Link)

Writing:
Haven't really done that much for this, so... find out next time?

I hope you enjoy about, what I do in school time, I'll be sure to tell you guys what I do for writing! PEACE!nm v
