Stand at Dawn

This is the video that my mum took of me at 6am 25th on Saturday. You could barely see me as it was still pitch black and hard for the camera to focus on me. We did a 1 minute of silence to honour those who risked their lives for our freedom and our country. We also heard the song "Last post" play, we wondered where it came from but we didn't mind. We enjoyed this as we got to take some time to honour those who fell in war.

Where in the world am I? Cyber Journey

LI: To use smart searching skills.

Today I am blogging about the activity I completed with the help of my mum. We both worked on this activity together as she wanted to participate and she liked this topic. For this task you had 10 mystery locations that you needed to discover and find the name of. My mum and I both knew a few of them but hard a bit of trouble with others. We found them out by using what we thought they looked like and made them into keywords. Next was to find out the questions like (What am I? Where am I? Who uses me and When was I built?) the question that my mum and I got stuck on was the "Who uses me" but we only managed to find out a little. Next was finding the location and screenshotting them. This part was a bit easier, What I found interesting about doing the screenshots was that google maps let you see what the place looked like but in 3D. Last was finding the 5 facts about each location. We enjoyed doing this activity as we found out about new locatins that we never knew or heard of before.

Make A Poppy Wreath

L.I To learn how to make a poppy wreath.

Today I am blogging about how I created a Poppy Wreath. I really enjoyed the process of this as the poppy wreath turned out great! I recorded myself painting the egg cells in time lapse. I explained what I did in the text boxes beside the video. First I painted all the egg cells red, the first video shows me doing that process, next was me painting the inner part of the egg cells black to represent the heart of the poppy. Last was putting the poppies together in the shape of a wreath, I really liked doing this activity and hope to do more soon.
