Santa´s new suit

 

This is a new suit I designed for Santa. 

I thought when Santa comes to places like New Zealand wouldn't  he get hot from it being summer. So I designed a new suit for Santa, I based it on his normal suit, red. I thought maybe he could wear shorts and a t-shirt, but at the same time still look like Santa.

H is for Sloth

Here is my D.L.O it stands for: Digital Learning Object. 

I was using alliteration to describe what my animal does.  

This is mine, I did:  ‘H is for Sloth’.

I created my DLO using Google Drawings.  

In Drawings I can use WordArt (I used this to create 

my heading), change the background colour, insert images 

and write in a text box so the text is able to be moved 

around the page.

Painting

Today I did a painting. I did a painting of a sunrise with flowers and a saying "do what you love." When I did the painting I did the background first then the black, because imagine how hard it would be trying to do the background after the black. When I did the black I did one flower let it dry, then the next flower let it dry, then the 3rd flower. After that I did the bits coming off the flower. The writing I did in sharpie though.     

Fairy Door

There are these things called fairy doors, they are little doors that are painted and then normally they are put in a forest or on a walking tract.  This is a fairy door I painted and got to shape.

These 3 masks are made out of cardboard. I shaped the cardboard so they were face shapes. After we got all the shapes we painted them.  These faces are suppose to be weird shapes. We made these masks because we had lots of cardboard boxes.

Facts About Katherine Johnson

Born: Aug. 26, 1918

Born: 26th August 1918

Died: Feb. 24, 2020

Hometown: White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia

Hired by NASA  : June 1953

Retired from NASA: 1986

Katherine Johnson was an american mathematician. 

At school Katherine Johnson's knowledge made her a star student, so got to skip 3 whole grades.

When Katherine was the age of 10 she was ready for highschool. Katherine wanted to go to highschool. she wanted to know as much as possible about numbers, the universe, and everything. Sadly the highschool in her town did not accept black people. Katherine and her family had to travel to another town

where they accepted black people in highschool. 

After highschool Katherine became a teacher, because there where no research mathematical jobs for women. Katherine liked teaching but she never forgot her math dreams. In the 1950's NASA started hiring people even black women as mathematicians. When Katherine applied they said they had no spaces left. Katherine had to wait a whole year till they had new spaces. Katherine got the job with NASA. At NASA Katherine's job was to calculate in her head and on paper how the rocket ship would get safely to the moon and back, because one of the things Katherine is kind of famous for in America is helping the first american rocket ship get to the moon and back safely. Katherine also did the calculation's for lots of other rockets. One day a rocket ship exploded, the 3 men in there had there lives at risk. Katherine had to do her calculation's all over again. They had to go the whole way around the moon and back to earth. Luckily Katherine's calculation's where right and they got back safely. Katherine retired in 1986. Katherine died at the age of 101. 

      

Keeping fit in Lockdown

Baking in Lockdown.

This is a slideshow I made about the things I have been baking In lockdown.

Cartoon

This is a cartoon drawing I did. I did this drawing

because I had looked on you tube and seen how 

eyes,eye brows,hair, hands, noses and mouths
are drawn. I has a look at a few different videos
and saw how the way you draw characters can
determinate what there expression is and what type
of person they are. After I saw the videos I
decided to draw a  cartoon character. 

The character I drew is a girl called Lucy.  She 

is an ordinary 10 year old girl. She goes to a
school called Scallops school for girls.  She has
two best friends, one called Jane who has short hair
and the other called Millie with long hair. Every
day Lucy would walk to school with her two best
friends. Lucy loves spending time with her friends.

After I drew the character Lucy I decided to put her in a story. So I made a 6 picture comic.Where she walks to school with her friends and then finds out a lock-down is happening. At the end of the day she says goodbye to her friends. Then the next day she is really sad because she can not see her friends. So her mum tells her to go on video chat and talk to her friends. So she goes on video chat and talks to her friends. She
finds it really fun!! Then is really happy!!!         

  

  

Timbuktu

Timbuktu is a city in Mali in Northern Africa,  

Timbuktu is just north of the Niger river.

Timbuktu became a permanent settlement 

in the 12th century. Timbuktu has a population 

of about 32,460.  

This is a Camel I drew as my project for Timbuktu.

I decided to study Timbuktu as something to do while 

I am at home. Instead of coloring the Camel it's normal 

color, I decided to put things in the Camel to do with 

Timbuktu.One of the things is a slab of salt another is 

a great mosque, some of the other things are flowers, 

mountains, and sand all from Timbuktu. 

My dad once visited Timbuktu, so I gave him 10 

questions to test his knowledge. The questions I gave him 

were ones including; what is the capital of Mali? and how 

many great mosque's are there in Timbuktu? 

3 things I learnt about Timbuktu are that the first french

 explorer to go to Timbuktu on foot was René-Auguste 

Caillié , there are 3 great mosque's in Timbuktu and 

that France took over Timbuktu in 1894.  I found all this 

information  in https://www.wonderopolis.org/

Room 14’s Class Treaty

      

Our class has a treaty that is made
of four values, Care,Share,Learn
and Grow. The four values represent
lots of different sayings and things
you need to do. The values also
represent houses. You can be in either
Red house, Blue house, Green house or
Yellow house. When you start school in
year 1 you get assigned to a house. I am
red house. This year I want to work on
Learn, to have a go at new learning. 

Introducing myself

Hi my name is Caitlin,

Do I want to live in a tiny house when I am older......

Tiny house

When I am older I will probably

not want a tiny house, because

I probably will not have enough

room for everything (e.g. couch)
plus it will be a bit of a squeeze.
I also prefer normal size houses.
So when I am older I will get a

normal size house and not a

tiny house.
