My 2021 Profile

Hi my name is Rylee and I’m a year 8 that goes to Matawai School. I live with my Mum, Stepdad and 2 brothers on a farm about 15 minutes away from Matawai. I love riding horses and wish my parents will get me one someday. I’ve always liked playing sports and my favourite is soccer.

School subjects that I enjoy are maths, writing and science. I find reading a little challenging but I still enjoy it. I especially like horse books. A few more things that I like are my pets e.g dogs, cats, lambs and more. I like going out hunting with my Stepdad on the farm catching deer, possums, magpies and rabbits/hares. My main goal for this year is going up another level in my reading and writing!

This year I’m looking forward to getting outside and playing with my friends and finishing my last year positively! The Wilson Sisters are some people that I really look up to. They are horse riders that have so many books with tips and things they have done in their equestrian life. I hope you enjoy reading my future blog posts.

Pop Art Online

Today our cybersmart teacher ( Mrs Torrie ) saw how room 4 had done pop art with Mrs Allan in term 2 2020 and all our art was put up on the wall. Since Mrs Torrie teaches computer stuff so she got us to use the app called Lunapic which is a photo editing app and it's really cool.

Tips Tricks & Fun With Rylee

Today in cyber smart room 4 carried on building our jingle brand which is when you make your own logo sort of thing. We started off a few weeks back by set out how we wanted it to look on a google drawing. We also had to take a selfie of ourselves then cropped it with remove background, so it wouldn't take up all the space on the wevideo. My jingle includes some music, text boxes and Sophia and myself talking at the end.

Creating My Own Music

Last week with our cybersmart teacher, Room 4 got introduced to a song website called 'Soundtrap'. First we had to find a picture of either an animal or a sport or something that we like. I finally chose a picture of a running cheetah. When we were making our music it had to match the mood of your picture. It was really confusing at the start for all of us, so we all struggled a bit but also had a lot of fun playing around and making beats. When we had finished our sound we had to fiddle around a little bit so we could add our beats onto the picture. The one main thing that I found challenging during this process would have to be getting the hang of the whole app.

AND HERE'S MY FINAL PRODUCT . . .
