Digital Footprint

Digital Footprint

what is a digital footprint? a digital footprint is the information about you that exists on the internet, for example if  i post an image of my dog that picture i apart of my digital footprint. You could have a positive or negative digital footprint. When you post something make sure you can post it because once its online it can never be removed. so be careful of what you post because if you go for a job interview and they look at your digital footprint and they find something bad they could not give you the job because something that you have posted so long ago that you wish you hadn't can be found years later.So make sure before you post.

Email Etiquette

Email Etiquette 

Today my class and I learned about Email Etiquette. There are many steps in Email Etiquette on how to send a professional email to a teacher etc. These are the different check blocks you need to fill in the process, first make sure your address your teachers name, then you need to include a subject line that is brief and specific.The next step is to write your message but keep-to-the-point, you need to state exactly what you need help with. Now you need to make it professional do not use slang words or texting language. Now you need your email to be proofread your message, you need to check for any spelling mistakes. Then lastly you need to address your full name and then you finished.

Superhero Stop Moton project

Superhero Stop motion Project

three weeks ago we did a Superhero stop motion project. For the stop motion project we got to choose our own partners. The first thing we did was plan and discuss our stop motion story about a super hero or a villan that we would have to create. My partner and I created a villan name Ghoster and a Superhero named Captain Lightning. The next step was to draw our characters and make storyboard then we made our green screen for the stop motion. once we made our green screen we started making the characters out of Plasticine witch I thought was the most fun part out of the Stop motion project.  the next step is to take the photos for the stop motion  which was my least favorite part because when you tried to stand the character up for the photo it would fall down and you would have to try to put it in the exact same place it was before which wasn't so easy. Once we had all the photos in i can animate we sent the pictures to Imovie and add all the sound effects and voice recordings, for me making the voice recordings were quite fun because I got to speak with a funny accent for my character, to finish off the stop motion video we added music in the background and then we finished the project. During this project i learnt lost's of things like how to animate pictures and how to edit and add sound effects to our movie I thought this project took a wile but the results were realy amazing. Some of the difficulties we faced during the project was when the character full over when we were trying to film and agreeing on the same things was a little bit of a challenge but at the end we came over those problems and found a solution.and at the end i thought we made a good friendship. Making this stop motion was such a privileged and such a wonderful experience and I realy enjoyed it.

A in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement

Hi my name Zenzi I live with my mom my dad and my two brothers I woke up on another freezing cold morning I got out of bed got ready and went to the kitchen,mom and dad werent there, they normally aren't because they have to wake up very early for work.  I looked in the cupboard to see what I could have for breakfast it's not much just the leftovers of the porridge we ate, after I ate my food went of to school it's a long way to school from where I live, everyday I have to walk 3km, anyway on my way there I always see lots of trash and gravel as I was walking I kicked my shoe on a rock and tore my hole shoe I didn't really mind though. as soon as got to school I dropped my bag on the floor and played netball with Vixy my friend.

I was just about to score but then the bell rang, our teacher gave us our text books I shared my book with Vicky,Landa and Zoya. My classroom is very squashed there is no space my teacher normally doesn't come to me when I need help because there is to many children in the class. Break comes I played soccer with my friends on the sand there was lots of dust break was only 15 min so we tried our hardest to score. We won five two I was very happy, as soon as we started to do our war cry the bell rang the day was nearly over. We had math class now Im pretty good at math but I would suggest getting a new math teacher anyway. It was time to go home. on my way home I broke my other shoe I new they were useless so I took them off. By the time I got home my feet were full of cuts and scrapes. I ate my lunch, again not much to eat. I was very tired I decided  to lie on my bed and go to sleep.in my dream i was thinking of things i would chane were i live and at my school i thought of a few things like after school a charity would come and play soccer with us or any other sport i also thought of makeing the roads tar so there is no dust.

the Hippogriff (A fantasy poem)

A long time ago in the middle of the sea
an island that was full of creatures explorers seek.

they look like huge griffins

 with blue, yellow and pink feathers.

their favorite food is candy.

And their favorite thing to do is  Party.

They have magic powers.

they can freeze you,
they can turn any food into candy
and make plants grow.
those are the magical

Hippogriffs.
