Leilani's Evidence of Learning

My last immersion was with Jess and Sarah and they were focusing on drama and dance. I really enjoyed the drama because we did lots of fun games that were actually helping us improve on our drama skills. We played a game were we had to make each other laugh and I failed. With dance we had to get into groups and do different movements. My highlights were playing fun games in drama and interacting with kids I don't usually talk to. My challenges were trying not to laugh doing the dancing with Sarah.

A few weeks ago my class went on a trip to the Silverdale Adventure Park and it was the best trip I have had so far this year. The first thing I went on was this movie thing. They put a movie on for us and our chairs started to move. Next I had to sit in this donut and I got pushed down a hill. After that I went on my favourite ride the luge . The first time I went on my heart was pounding because I was so nervous, but the other times I had so much fun. The last thing I went on was this thing called the shooting star. The shooting star is a ride where I got slingshoted  up into the sky and it was so fun. My highlights were going on the luge .

On the 19th of September we went on a trip to Bruce Mason Theater. We learnt new and different things. The first thing I did was go backstage and talk through this headset to everyone. The next thing I did was go to this little show thing with my class. The people doing the show were showing us a different way to use sound. After that I went to this dance thing and we did lots of different dances and stretches. My highlights were talking to everyone in the headset. My challenge was trying to work with new kids other than my friends.

For Immersion I have been doing signage with Liv & Emma. We went to the high school to take pictures and get inspiration from the things that they put on their walls. They had lots of quotes and art works on their walls which made them really interesting to look at. We then described what we saw and shared them with the group. After that we had to make a sign of our own. Julia & I got together and made a sign with superman and a unicorn vomiting a rainbow. I really enjoyed drawing a sign because I like to be creative and use lots of different colours  to make it look good. The challenges I faced was probably taking pictures of all the things in the high school because there was so much things.

A few weeks ago my class and I got the chance to attend a google summit at Ormiston Junior College (OJC). Lily-Rose and I chose to attend the same workshops together. The first workshop we went to was a workshop that taught us how to use an app called storyboardthat . Storyboardthat is an app where you can create your own picture story. We got given three choices of what to write about, so Lily-Rose and I chose to do the story about how lollies affect peoples health. We didn't get time to finish but I liked using it because you could customize the characters you wanted. The next thing we attended was a workshop run by kids from our school Lilly, Jorja and Brianna. It was on how to make a detailed character description/design. We got to make up a character and draw them, then we had to write their back stories, write about if they had scars and things like that. It was really fun because I enjoy art and drawing things. After that we attended a workshop on NZSL (New Zealand...

For the past few days I have been in a group to help design a new playground for my school. It has been really fun, but also a bit challenging. Jono taught us to use a new app called Tinkercad. Tinkercad is an app that allows you to design anything you want with different shapes, tools and colours . I really enjoyed using Tinkercad to design my playground because it caused me to use the creative and organised side of my brain. THIS IS HOW MY PLAYGROUND TURNED OUT!!! The highlights I had were probably getting to go to other playgrounds and observe the designs of them. The challenge/s I had was probably getting used to using Tinkercad.
