Rouis and the Great Escape of the Shop Storm

Today I am uploading a blog of my writing from the past few days. We had to write about a great storm, but I didn't have any ideas so I made it about an axolotl and a mishap in a fish/aquarium store, so it's like a storm. Below is the link to my writing. 

Rouis and the Great Escape of the Shop Storm

What I enjoyed about creating my story was adding pictures.

What I found most difficult was getting ideas to write my story.

Do you like axolotls? Have you seen one before?

Finding the Area of a Triangle

 W.A.L.T find the area of a triangle

Today for blogging we had to make a poster about finding the area of a triangle. We had to write how to do it and add an example. We had to explain the problem. Below is my poster.

My Poster

This was a pretty easy task but I didn't do all the different triangles and ways.

Cat

Today's blogging task is to write a post about something fun I did outside in the weekend. I don't really go outside but I do to play with my cat. Last weekend one of my mum's friends brought her cat to our house. He's a big fluffy grey cat with green eyes. This cat didn't really get along with my cat, a small grey cat with greenish eyes, and no one trusted him near our bird so we had to keep them away from each other. He was usually outside anyway so that wasn't too hard to do. The fun thing I did outside last Saturday was go outside onto the deck and pet the cats. Their fur is very soft. That is all.

The Race

The Race

On Monday I had to write using a story starter on Pobble365. The picture was about motorbikers racing. The story starter was about the guy focusing on the next jump, taking this as his time to shine. I continued with the story saying someone bumped into him and they fell down to a pit, then he got back up and raced again. 
Here is my story

I didn't really mind doing this story but I didn't really like it either. I don't know anything about motorbike racing so this probably wouldn't happen anyway.

Have you read the The Race Pobble?

Drawing

Today's blogging task is to upload a post about a drawing or piece of art from the week. I didn't have one that I wanted to share or haven't already so I drew a Pikachu because they're pretty simple to do and I didn't have any ideas. When I was watercolouring I kind of messed it up but it didn't turn out too bad, the head just looks kind of a Beluga whale or like he hit his head on something. I found drawing the head more difficult than the rest. Next time I could change how I coloured it.

Below is my picture:

Who's your favourite Pokémon?

Insect Made of Flowers

One of the extra activities for lockdown learning was art. The art task was to create an insect out of leaves and flowers, like what Raku Inoue does. I tried creating a purple butterfly made out of flowers. It was going to be yellow but I didn't have enough of that colour flowers. This was fun but kind of hard to do because it can easily be destroyed and I have to be very careful with it.

 Below is a picture of what I made:






Man and Sea

This week my reading task was to read a textbook called Man and Sea and complete a series of slides with questions about the book. One of the questions was to share my thoughts on the process Ioane (the person that gets the tattoo) had to go through to get the tatau (tattoo) and what I would do if I was him. My answer is below:

I agree on the process Ioane had to go through to get the tatau. If I was Ioane I probably would do the same thing because I would be that age and his father's son so I would probably want to get it too.

I also had to write a short paragraph about why it's important to be connected to cultral elements. Here is my answer to that:

Being disconnected from your cultural heritage can lead you to question who you are and where you belong. It also makes you feel lost and isolated. Connecting with your culture usually has a positive impact on your identity and sense of belonging. Connecting can also positively affect your mental health and wellbeing. It gives people a feeling of belonging and security to identify with a particular culture.

Have you ever read Man and Sea? Why do you think it's important to be connected to your culture?
