Cats or Dogs.

If I could choose to  have a cat or a dog I would definitely choose a dog because their way more active and   you can play with them a lot and their really cute .

But if you have a cat all they really do is sleep  eat poop in your house, and that's something no one enjoys cleaning or looking at. 

And that’s why I  would choose to have a Dog.

Learning story blog.

A couple of days ago we had to create a Learning story which is this thing right underneath this intro. A Learning is something that you write to show your parents and other student and this is what I did.

At the beginning of this Hurumanu it's fair to say that we were a little bit confused on what we were doing but we ended up finishing our stop motion and it was actually a really good little video.
	What I learned: In this Hurumanu I learnt how to make a video on stop motion I learnt how to create a video using clay and also how to create a script to go with the little video. In the first couple weeks we learnt how to do a storyboard and I also learnt what all the different camera angles are. I also learnt how to finish my work while working with student that I wouldn't choose to work with.
	What I enjoyed: I enjoyed creating the video because it's something that I had never done before.I liked learning about what the different camera angles. I liked using the clay and creating cool objects like kayaks and little people to go into our video, I also liked learning how to make a script but the one thing that I was most proud of was finishing the slide and watching the finished video.
	What I found difficult: I think my group worked alright but the one thing that I struggled with would have to be trying to get everyone involved and trying to get all the work done in the time given but overall I think that it was good because we got the task finished and considering  that we used a digital app that we hadn't used before.

Learning Confrerences.

These are my Learning Conferences slide that I will be sharing with my Mum on Thursday.

Cip Letter Reflection.

Today in CIP we had to create a letter to someone who is important to us and I wrote to my mum.
In my Letter I wrote Thanks for organising sport and school I thanked her for raising me I Thanked her for feeding me everyday,I thanked her for puting up with me when im naughty and I also thanked her for comforting me when I'm feeling down. I also Told her why I choose to write about her.
We did this activity beacause the point of this CIP is to make people happy and other things.
This made me feel happy beacuse she responded like five minutes after I had shared it and her response looked like it made her happy.

Art hurumanu stop motion.

Today in Art hurumanu Alex,Shane and Myself, finished our Stop Motion that we have been planning for the last 6 to 7 weeks, and it turned out pretty good.

This whole hurumanu was based on a a word called Manakitanga, which means Kindness looking after each other and also means helping each other out.

I personaly think this hurumanu was fun learning how to use stop motion and also doing my first video.
