Bedroom Design

Walt: Share our creativity with an online audience.

Bedroom Design Link

Today we had to make a dream bedroom for a teenage refugee who just moved to New Zealand. We had to think about what a teenager/ourselves would like in a dream bedroom. My room includes a bedroom, bathroom, walk- in closet and a lounge room. My theme in my room is plants and yellow. To make my Bedroom I used planner5d, a designing app. I enjoyed making this because I would love to be a architect and a interior when I am older.

Do you enjoy making stuff like this? What would you use to make your room? What would your theme be?

Poland Research

Walt: create a country study poster about Poland

Poland by Eva michalick .
Today I made a slide about Poland. I learnt a lot about Poland like how many people are in Poland, Poland's currency, traditional foods and much more. Poland is a very interesting place. I know that some of my relatives from way are from Poland. I used canva to make my slide and I enjoyed making this. What did/would you use to make your poster about Poland? Do you know anyone from Poland?

Animation and Summary

Walt: Visualise and summarise the text in our own words. “Close to the edge” is a short novel written by Cecile Kruger. In this text Opal is a teenager travelling on a dusty track with her mother and other refugees. Opal drags her hands across a rock and her hand slips through a crack in the rock. Somebody had stepped too close to the edge and sent sand and stone slipping down the hill. While everyone was distracted Opal entered the crack in the rock, she discovered a dim cave. Opal walked around the cave and suddenly something wet and cold wrap around her leg. She instantly knew what it was.

Storyboard and Summary

Walt: visualise and summarise the text in our own words.

My name is Rez is a graphic novel told by Toby Morris. Rez lives in an Iran refugee camp with her family. They live in a tent with six other families. The camp they live in is overcrowded, not enough facilities, and there were no schools. 

After nine years in the camp the were moved to New Zealand. Rez went to school in New Zealand. The only thing Rez could say in English was, “my name is Rez”. Children teased and laughed at her, saying she was like a robot, “my name is Rez, my name is Rez”. Rez finally became comfortable with her school and understood English, she also got moved into a class for special kids. 

Rez did have a tough time at school but then she became a lawyer in Auckland and was named young New Zealander of the year.

Refugee Poem

Walt: creatively write and present a piece of poetry.

Today, me, Kylah and Arie made a acrostic poem. This poem is about refugee. I enjoyed making this poem with my friends.

Missing Child Poster

Walt: create a quality blog post that explains our learning.

For today's reading task we had to create a missing poster. Mahmoud from Refugee gave away his baby sister Hana to strangers to save her life. The missing child is Hana. We had to create what we thought Hana would look like. To me Hana would be wearing a pink blanket and bow. The baby I made does not look very good. What do you think Hana would be wearing?

Storyboard Summary

Walt: create a quality blog post that explains our learning.

For today's reading task we had to make a summary about the main events of a characters journey from Refugee. I chose Isabel for my storyboard summary because I am most interested in her journey. Isabel is leaving Cuba with her family and friends, their boat gets shot by the police and the hole is stuffed by a sock to stop it flooding. Second their boat nearly crashes into a tanker and Senor Castillo is thrown overboard by the water, Isabel jumps in to save him. That is all I have read about Isabel so far.

For this activity I used storyboard that. I enjoyed making this because storyboard that is fun and easy to use.
