Gumboot Friday – Sione and Hoho

Kia Ora,

Today in TWP we learnt about Gumboot Friday. We have been learning why Gumboot Friday helps kids around New Zealand. Gumboot Friday, which is recognised on the 4th of November, helps kids around New Zealand get more social by telling their friends what they are going through and they can get help from their friends. When some people are suffering around New Zealand from loneliness, some people around New Zealand are having the time of their lives. Mike King the founder of the Gumboot Friday fundraiser, has 6 children and won the New Zealander Of The Year Award in 2019. Shockingly a high rate of New Zealand children die from committing suicide. Something I learnt today was that everyone has mental health because we all feel emotions. Here Is My Activity!

Sione – Smart Footprint – Scenario Freeze Frames

Today in TWP 6 we did Smart footprints, we had three scenarios to do. Each scenario was different because it had different texts, different emotions and different people/names. The first scenario we had to do was a scenario about two people getting an email saying free games one of them was clueless and confused and the other one was excited and happy.

The second scenario was about a person named Rosalie getting negative and nasty comments about her on her blog and she felt angry and sad because and she has a friend named Sammy and he stood up for her and said “who do they think they are”. Rosalie replied to the person who wrote that nasty comment with unkind things.

The third scenario was about a person named Percy who was feeling down because he was seeing other people’s work and he was disappointed at his self just because he thought he wasn’t good enough and he thought he couldn’t produce such good work like the others. While Percy was upset about not producing good work his friend, Atū was on his netbook doing his work until he saw his friend Percy was upset. Atū comforted him. Here are the freeze frames.

 

 

 

My Self-Portrait – Sione

Today in TWP we are learning to draw a portrait of ourselves. The first step of drawing our portrait was to draw the lines of symmetry one line through the middle and one line coming from the top to the bottom of the page. The second step to drawing our portraits was to draw the shape of our heads and the marks for where we are going to put the eyes, nose and mouth. The third step was to draw our ears and our shoulders, for the ears we had to draw it from the eyes to the nose and for the shoulders it was pretty simple you just had to draw shoulders and I just added my school emblem. The fourth step was to look at our photos that we had taken and add the eyes, nose and mouth. The fifth and last step was to do some shading like on our pictures there were some dark spots on our face so we shaded those dark spots. Something that was difficult doing this activity was making the shapes the same size. Something I found easy was to draw my hair  because my hair is not that difficult to draw.

What would be difficult for you? and what would be easy for you?
