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.
Kia ora, I am a year 8 student in Room 4 at Matawai School in Gisborne, New Zealand and my teachers are Mrs Bennett and Mrs Allan.

Spooky Halloween Story Starters
Today for our writing we got given a task. We had to make as many spooky story starters as we wanted. After we had finished writing we had to buddy up with a partner and debate on what one was the best. There were only nine kids in my class today but we all went in completely different directions on what topics to write about. Everyone's turned out really cool and some people got the shivers from reading them.
And this is the one that I choose...

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.

My Magnificent Wooden Stool
After lock down when kids came back to school, on Wednesdays Room 4 did Tech and these are sewing, cooking and woodwork. The year sevens which was Jaimee, Duncan, Hayley and myself did woodwork with Peter who was the woodwork teacher. We started making stools and they are about 25cm tall and around 30cm wide. To make our stools it took 9 weeks so that means 9 days. All of the skills we used to make this stool was... sawing, measuring, gluing, staining the wood, sanding and drilling holes. It was a really fun process to go through along beside friends.
Today was our last session in woodwork and next up is cooking with Mrs Bennett.
This is how my magnificent wooden stool turned out...

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 . . .

5 Resons Why Living In The Country Is Better Than Town
With some of our writing with Mrs Bennett we did persuasive writing which is a type of writing when you and another person is debating on something like e.g Zoos should be banned.
We are trying to convince our audience to think something the same way as us and see our point of view.
