👑Google doc ninga challenge👑

    Every Thursday Whaea Donna comes into our class to teach us how to be cyber smart/safe and how to do new things on our devices.

Last week we were on our buddy classes blog and we saw that they were doing a Google ninja challenge, so when Whaea Donna said we were going to do it I was really excited because I read good reviews about it. I found it really challenging at first but in the end it kinda got easier.

                    I managed to complete all 4 Levels in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

        It wasn't easy at all😂 We had to recolour,Change the font,change the text,change the size 

                                   add things,edit things and research things.

            I liked how each level was different and challenging at the same time.

    

          Have you done the ninja challenge before??

         If you have what was the most challenging level?

The far north have a lot of history.The far north is a great place to live because we have a lot of beaches.The beaches in the far north are just around the corner and the beaches are a popular stop.

Sandra silberzweig

In kakapo class we have been learning about sandra silberzweig.We looked at how she used different shapes and patterns in different places.After learning a bit about her we decide  to make our own piece of art.

It took three days to complete our art.

First we made an unique nose.

second we drew our two eyes in different places to make it look wacky.

Thirdly we drew our lips.

Then we added extra detail to make it look abstract.

after we finished drawing our pictures we used Indian ink to make it bolder.

The next day we used bold and colorful chalk to make our pieces of art pop.
You can come and see our art work in our class.
