AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!? THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN!!!!!!...........  In about 3 years :(

Well, the circus IS coming, but in 2-3 years. Awww, you're gonna be so jealous when you finish reading this post. Well, today one character from 'Circus Aotearoa' came into Enrich after a 7 month journey with the circus in the North Island of New Zealand. She came in and showed us some clips of the circus she's in and fed us some information of becoming a circus performer and what you do in the circus.

When you think about the circus,  you usually think about animals doing trick and things like that. But no, Circus Aotearora is animal-free and is just people doing flips and stuff like that.

Did you know? The other school I go to is having a teachers-only day today, but I don't care because they can't watch the circus until 2016!

What's up people of the world! Today I went to a migration workshop where I learnt about migration patterns. We learnt how the US are sending people back to the country they came from because they are coming into their land illegally Without a passport or going through the government. Instead, these people are coming in from Iran etc. to the US because they want a better lifestyle than the lifestyle they are getting at their previous countries. They are coming in from boats and are risking their lives because they could fall overboard or become sharkbait. So these people must hate their lives because they would prefer to risk coming all the way to this other country and get told to go all the way back and possibly die instead of staying at their home land.

At the migration patterns workshop I learnt that certain countries aren't allowing people into their land because of population






And I also found this random picture I hope you like it : )

How am I doing my passion project?

Hmm, so are you wondering how I am doing my passion project? Well, I'm doing it like this. I am also using an ipad for this work as well. I am  using two very good, very helpful apps. They are Pic Collage and Book Creator. Pic collage is an app which I am doing my backround/photos on. You can add photos off the internet and photos from your ipad. You can also add text and take a photo. You can edit your photos by enhancing them, drawing on them and clipping them. I then send my work to myself  ( from the ipad to the computer ) and save my work to the photos library.

Then I go onto the Book Creator app and push the button with a cross on it. It then comes up with add photos, add text and add sound. I push the button add photos and it comes up with photos and pic collage. I push the button Pic Collage and add the photo I want to use. Then I go to the mail app and find the message I sent from the computer containing my story.I copy the piece of writing I want to use and then go to the Book Creator app and push the button with the cross on it and push add text. I then paste the copied text and paste it. I then push done and there is one page of your book!

I have learnt that I should always send the work which I've done on the ipad to myself so nobody deletes it.

The serious newspaper!

Hello, we don't have much time so I'm only allowed to do a two line blog. Well, I'm writing a newspaper for Enrich. Not I, but a bunch of people. My projects have been a dog report, and a baking page. Yes, and I've been working really hard, as you can see below...

Page Breaks

Hello people of the the world! It's a special week this week because it's gifted awareness week. I bet you knew that but some of you need a little reminding...

So, what did I do today? Good question, because I don't know! Well, thats the end of my post. NOOOO! I actually just remembered, we had passion time. Do you know what I'm doing for passion time? Because if you don't, please read my older posts about what I'm doing for passion time.

For passion time today I used an i-Pad AND the computer for my Bobby Jojo story. Well, for the start of passion time I filled in my mistakes and put in the PAGE BREAKS, and near the end I used an app on the i-Pad called PicCollage to make the cover for the book. But sadly, the i-Pad didn't have the advanced search set on it so I had to use the computer on advanced search to make sure I used the correct images so it wouldn't be a copyrighted image.



                                                                               

LIVEsketch

"Now we will look at this app", said Darryn, teacher of the i-Pad workshop. The app was Livesketch. It is an app which you can sketch/draw on. BUT it has a very cool twist to it. Darryn calls it the 'spidery effect'. It is when you put a line close to each other it looks like it joins. It's also great for scary pictures, as shown below.

For passion time today I used the Livesketch app to draw my policeman with traffic light pants. He is for my story called 'Bobby Jojo'. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON BOBBY JOJO PLEASE READ MY OTHER BOBBY JOJO POSTS.
