Moala - Kiwi Flag Tournament

On the 26th of March TWP 4&6 went to Dunkirk to play Flag. We drove to Dunkirk on a bus. We made sure everyone was on the bus and also we had all the stuff. We all jumped off the bus and went towards the field and set up the tents and the gazebo. After setting up the tents and gazebo we put all our bags on the big giant blue gazebo we all decided to practise our passing and kicks. Some took some photos some were still practising. We had to wear the Kiwi Flag shorts so we had to go up the long mountain (it was so tireing) grabbed our shorts went to the bathroom and put on our shorts. We returned and started practising again like passing the pall and running while passing the ball. The boys were the first one to play was Team A&B they played a really good game but Team A won it was five to three. After ten minutes the girls played, we played against Sylvia Park we played against Sylvia four times. The first game we sadly lost to Sylvia Park the score was one to six. After playing we took a break and ate because were starving. The boys then had another game against Panmure District sadly they lost. We then played against Sylvia Park again we sadly lost again. After our game the boys played against Sylvia Park they lost again. We played against Syliva Park and lost. Until it was the last game it wasn't tag it was another game (not sure was it was called). It was a tie. We all felt exhausted after the game because we had headaches. We packed all our stuff and went to the shade because we were waiting for the bus we were playing around. We all went back finally!

Moala - How Maui Slowed the Sun/Weaving Paper and Drawing

On the 14th of April my class and I were about to go to The Ki O Rahi Tournament unfortunately it started raining so we hopped back on the bus and went back to school. My teacher (Ms. Nees-Kairua) decided to know how How Maui slowed the sun after knowing how Maui slowed the sun. Palu used the grinder and grind the paper into stripes we used it to weave the paper. Here is a video. After weaving the paper Ms. Nees gave us different parts of the story and drew our part! We first drew it in pencil lightly then used vivid to out line it. 

Here are the results I used Orange and White!

Moala - Cybersmart Challenge #8

Today I did Cybersmart Challenge #8. Cybersmart Challenge is similar to Cybersmart Challenge #7. Challenge #8 is about knowing how to use your tools. Today we had to create a animation. I created a boat, I added more like a background to go with the boat and waves because the boat is in the ocean so I added waves. I used Poly line on my tools to create my shapes, I also used Auto draw. It took my quite some time to do the animation part. So after I created my boat and did the background and added the waves I copied the slide and moved the boat little by little until the boat was off the page. I also moved the cloud to make it look a bit better. Overall I really like Cybersmart Challenge #8 I am really looking forward to the next Challenge!

Check out the results!
