NZ Artist Album Cover – Royals

WAL about NZ song artists for New Zealand Music Month.

This is the album cover I made for singer Lorde’s song Royals. I looked up the original album cover for the song and it is very simplistic so I tried to recreate that in my album cover. I used purple for the words because purple is a colour associated with royalty. I made the crown and the background colour similar so that sometimes you can see the crown and sometimes you can’t. I did this because in the lyrics Lorde was talking about how ‘and we’ll never be rulers’ so I wanted to incorporate that.

Anti Bullying Poster

WALT build healthy relationships with the people around us.

In New Zealand it is Bullying Week (which sounds wrong because it is trying to raise awareness and stop bullying). And even better, today is Pink Shirt Day! On Pink Shirt Day everyone wears pink to raise awareness around bullying. This is the poster I made today for Pink Shirt Day/Bullying Week. It might not relate to this topic by just looking at but if you look at the learning intention you will get it. You can’t have healthy relationships with others if you don’t have a healthy relationship with yourself.

 

NZSL DLO

WALT introduce ourselves in New Zealand sign language.

9-15 of May is New Zealand Sign Language Week! So this week my class has been learning all about NZSL. People speak sign language all around the world but they don’t all speak the same version. Just like how one person might speak French and another person might speak Italian. Similar but different.

 

The above video is me introducing myself in sign language, saying I like books and my cats name!

Decimal Check

WAL about decimals.

The point of a decimal check is so that my teacher (Miss Kemp) will know how much I know about decimals and what I need to learn. I didn’t realize we had to screenshot our results from the ARB’s tests for all of them so I had to redo some.

Pekapeka

We are learning about the New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat and the long-tailed bat A.K.A the pekapeka.

In New Zealand there are two types of bat the lesser short-tailed bat and long-tailed bat.  The greater short-tailed pekapeka (the third species) was last spotted in the 1960’s and is presumed extinct. The pekapeka is an extremely unique and incredible animal but sadly they are dying out and this can only be solved if we work together and stop this amazing creature from dying out.
