My time at the Exclusive hotel

My time at the Exclusive hotel

Yay!! the day is finally here and we're off to the Cordis hotel in town.

Last week Miss Paton told our whole class that we have been chosen

to go to the posh hotel in downtown Auckland to do a coding workshop.

At first I thought that it was going to be a boring trip and I thought that

coding was not as cool as before when I use to do it. When we arrived in

our minibus at the Cordis hotel, from where I was sitting the view was

magnificent and the hotel was huge and looked really fancy.

When we walked in I could smell the delicious food coming from the right

then from the left, I could smell coffee and the smell of people’s perfume.

As we were walking into the hotel we met a lady named Sarah. She took

us into this room. There was a man and he introduced himself. His name

was Michael, and he told us things about what we are going to do and what

coding is all about. Then finally we started, Michael and Sarah told all of us

what to do. The first thing we did was we all got to have a computer each to

do the coding on, we all took a seat next to a laptop.

We had seats between us because Michael told us that there was going to be

people coming and asking us questions on what we were doing and how we

do coding. There was a piece of paper next to every laptop and it had instructions

to help you on what to do. While we were coding there were a lot of people coming

in and out from the room. There were a lot of people that came to talk to us

about our work and there were also people that were taking photos of us doing

coding.

After that some of us got picked to show our work to everyone else.

At last, we all finished our coding work. Before we left all of us students

and teachers got certificates for participating in the coding workshop.

Overall I really enjoyed my time at the cordis hotel.  I would absolutely
love to go back there and do more of coding and using scratch with them.

Woven Art Reflection

Woven Photo Portrait

1. What did you accomplish?

My accomplishment was creating and finishing my woven portrait of myself
and to also doing the patterns correct on my small woven piece of art.

2. Are you satisfied with your woven photo portrait? Why / Why not?

Yes I am satisfied by my woven artwork
because my small piece of art came out good and in line with each other.

3. What did you find easy when you created your woven photo portrait?

I found that when you start to glue the pieces and start making
the actual woven art it really becomes easy and fast to do.

4. What did you find challenging when you were weaving your woven photo portrait?

What I found challenging was doing all the measurements.
I had to measure strips 2cm and 1cm apart.

5. What do you need to work on?

I needed to work on my first woven art because it was quite a fail
because I did it in a line instead of a pattern.

6. What would you adjust with your woven photo portrait?

I would change how I did my first woven photo portrait
and try and do it better like my smaller woven art.

7. What would you do next time to improve your self portrait?

I would do it better and more tidy, and to do the measurements right.

Last week and this week we had to make a woven piece of art. We are learning about How to weave a portrait of yourself. On our woven artwork we were doing patterns and it turned out like a chequerboard. We did this work on coloured paper and normal paper.

All about me

Last week was the first week of school for 2018. Right now we are learning about "All about me" so others can get to learn and know you better. I made this all about me poster on Google drawing and we also used different tools to create it.

All about me

Talofa lava my name is Angel and I am 12 years of age. I’m a year 8 and I am in Room 1.
