T4 Fabulous Finish WK 6/7

This is my Fabulous Finish for the end of the year. I tried really hard to make this perfect because it was really hard since I was sick for a couple of days and I was behind, but I caught up and got it finished in the nick of time. I wish I had more time and if I did I would have made it better than it is and I would have added more detail into it. Other than that I think I have done very well and I am proud of myself. My Fabulous Finish is a character description about Ghost and how his life went from when he was little to when he was on the track team, it also shows how I think the book was and just saying it was Amazing. I think I did really well and I'm proud of what I have come out with.

WK 5 T4 CC Digital Design

This week for Chapter Chat I did Digital Design. I loved doing this task so much because I went back and did a Storyboard task from last week. It was really fun doing the task and creating the different scenes from the book, I enjoyed reading the book and I think it was really amazing in my opinion. I think others in the class loved it aswell. I made four different scenes from the book The first one is when Ghost and his Mum Where running from his Dad and Ghost was talking and saying his name and everything, The second scene is Ghosts Mum in her hospital outfit in the hospital where she works, The thrid scene when he is new to the track team and Lu is saying like what are you doing on my track and things like that and lastly in the final scene it is when Ghost stole the shoes and even though in the story Tia doesn't come out of the store I wanted to add her in just so she was in the scenes. I loved this task and I'm happy I got it finished and on my blog in time.

Kawakawa Plant

The plant that I chose is Kawakawa because I think that this is the easiest one to do and it wouldn't wast too much of my time because I already know quite a lot about Kawakawa. Some of the different names for Kawakawa is Piper excelsum or Macropiper excelsum. Those are some more names for Kawakawa it took me a while to find more names for kawakawa because kawakawa is actually a nickname as well so it was a little bit hard. you might find the kawakawa plant is between the north island and the upper south island. Kawakawa plants and other plants can grow up to 6meters. Humans can use Kawakawa for lip balm, bruises, little cuts, scabs and way more. I will put in some photos of what Kawakawa looks like and how natural and majestic it looks. 

The Overhand Knot

This is my Overhand knot. I think that it was easy to get used to because it was a super easy and quick knot. I think that this knot could be used for tying things together and keeping things safe.
I rate this knot a 10/10 because it's really easy to learn and quick and easy to do.

My Alpine Butterfly Knot

This is my Alpine Butterfly Knot I think that this was pretty hard to do but once I got used to it, it was easy. I think that the hardest part of this knot was making it tighter or getting the big loop under the little loop because it kept coming undone and it didn't work out. I rate this knot a 7 or 8 out of 10 because it was hard learning it but it is super easy once you start doing it. I think that this knot could be used for towing cars maybe or keeping things in place.

My Bowline Knot

This is my Bowline knot. Lola had to help me a bit with this knot because it was really hard and I couldn't understand how to do it right away but after Lola taught me I got it straight away. I enjoyed doing this knot because it was challenging for me and I like doing challenges because it pushes me out of my comfort zone. I think that the most challenging thing about this knot was learning how to do it because it was hard at the start. I rate it a 5/10 because it was hard but once you get used to it gets easier. This knot could be used for pulling heavy things and sailing a small craft.

Chapter Chat Wk4 T4 Creation Station

This week for Chapter Chat I did Creation Station. I enjoyed doing this weeks task because it made me get out of my comfort zone because I'm not that good of a drawer so I did the best I can. I drew Ghost in his running uniform because he didn't get his because Coach Brody found out he stole his new cool running shoes, I loved this task so much and I am happy I got it done with just a little bit of time. I have got it done and I can now tick it off my school to-do list.
