12 Days Of Kiwi Christmas

 We were learning about what kiwis do for christmas and then we had to make a song (Carol,) because Team Toroa was having christmas rotations and we were curious about what kiwis do for christmas.

I found deciding what to put in our slide deck otherwise known as our song was really challenging because we had to find the right background for the slide deck.

I found writing the song easy because we just had to do a little bit of tweaks to the first slide of previous slide.

I will make the backgrounds more high quality next time or I will try my best.

I enjoyed finding a image and quote from my idol.

I found challenging making everything clear to see.

I found easy changing the photo of Kobe Bryant into a png using Remove b.g.

My Day Poem.

 I was making a poem towards how my day went because I thought I was getting good at making poems and another reason why is because I am trying to make it to twenty-five posts because I had made the badge along with some other students.

I enjoyed finding peaceful drawings of the sunset, ect because I was not in a rush because I am at my own home making this post and I wrote the poem at home.

I found not that much things hard because I had practised poems and stems.

I found everything easy because I was in no rush and loved writing and designing my poem.

One Moment In Time.

We were learning about how to write about a single moment in time because we found an interesting video about a hawk hunting a squirrel and we thought we could write about it.

I enjoyed making a long rhyming poem about the chase because there were alot of memes that were related to the video.

I found finding a png image for the squirrel and hawk quite challenging because not that many images were the ones the I liked but I ended up get two good photos for my presentation.

I found easy making the poem rhyme because of my previous post on my blog.

Guy Fawkes Acrostic Poem

 We were learning about how to create Acrostic poems about Guy Fawkes or something that relates to the fiery lights that blast into the air, the reason we done this is because it had just been past a celebration and we wanted to have fun!

I had fun trying my hardest to make the poem rhyme but in ended in me just rhyming two lines in a row and also loved our teachers pulling out sparklers to give us an idea if we didn't celebrate Guy Fawkes.

It was also very hard to find out what was the portrait width and length and deciding what word should I use.

I realized that it was much easier to fit the font and size to the appropriate size to fit the page.

I will try my best on improving my rhyming skills so my poem will sound more interesting.
