Growing Potatoes....1 Second Everyday...

In the Year 4 Beach House we used 1 Second Everyday record our potato growing journey. We grew about 40 kg of potatoes. It was hard work digging them all up. We packaged our potatoes into brown bags and made labels for the different types of potatoes we grew.

MADE AWARDS....

A few weeks ago Nabraska and I flew up to Tauranga to represent our class at the MADE AWARDS. We were so nervous that I was shaking! We saw lots of children at the awards.
It was so exciting because I'd never been there before. We got first place in the Powerco Year 4-6, Music Video category and we got two hobbit books. These will go into the school library. Then we won the Weta Workshop Supreme Award, we were so excited!
I was really nervous going up on stage!

The Book of Skins

Super Granny

I learnt to cut out the skin in Photoshop Mix and how to do different colours and shading. This was fun because you got to design any character you wanted and to tell a story about your character. I liked making my character because you could re-do it if you mucked up! I checked the character as I was making it. I would like to do another character, a Monster inside a Granny.

Billy, Oliver and Flame...

I made three characters. I liked modelling character because I could do whatever character I wanted. I was really good at designing heads. I did different faces on my three characters. The hardest thing was shading because you had to get one colour and make it brighter or darker.
