Term 3 Rimu Yr 8 Timetable!

Hey guys. Through the past term, we have been making a timetable to plan our week ahead of time. Green coloured squares mean I achieved good work standards, orange means almost, and red means bad work standard. Feel free to have a look at all my weeks and comment about if you think this is a good thing.

100WC Week 1!

Week 1 100WC Is Here!

Hey guys, if you've been around for a while, you might remember the 100 Word Challenge. Is is now back up running, bigger and better than ever! We had to write based on a prompt, which was a picture of a French statue. This is my week one post, enjoy reading!

Loud Shirt Day: Who 'Whips' The Best? Leave A Comment!

Camera!! What are your thoughts?

Hey guys, so, last Monday I went into Harvey Norman and bought a Canon Powershot SX520 HS and I have been trying it out over the past couple of weeks. So far, it has been one of my BEST buy, with the quality being pretty much perfect. The only downside is video is only 30fps and it would be nice at 60fps. I think 60fps is wanted by any people just staring out, but it is best to go for something not as hardcore so you do get used to making videos. If you would like to see me unboxing the camera, the video down below is for you. Sorry about the time length, my editing software crashed and I couldn't edit it down. (Stupid I-movie.)
I will have some pictures up for you to look at on Monday. For now, enjoy the video.

 PEACE!

Miranda Caird: My NZ Artist.

Hey guys, Rimu class are doing NZ artists, which is where we choose an artist. I chose Miranda Caird. I chose Miranda Caird because I like her style, with the black lines and landscape focus. The photo below, as you can see, is hills, sheep and trees. And also water. You can also see how the black outlines everything. This is what caught my eye. Hopefully it does as well for you.

Teenagers Are Lazy: My Speech!

https://youtu.be/FcWUzQT2qzI

Hey guys, we just had our speech competition in our class. I chose, well you read the title of the post, right? 

I chose this topic because I thought it would be a bit different then the normal ones, such as Smoking, Fitness, Screens. It was important for me because I am pretty much a teenager. The impact it might have on people is, hopefully they realise why their teenager/s sleep in later.
Enjoy!!

DigiAward Entry W/ Jack!

Hey guys, Asher here. As part of a contest called DigiAwards, run by Core Education, our class partnered up with each other and chose from either a video, music video, ripple effect or two other categories. Jack and I teamed up to make what we think is a pretty good video. A week later, we received an email from CoreEd saying that it would be wise to have the makers of the the video Everyday Heroes - Our Classmates to attend the prizegiving assembly at Burnside High School on Thursday. So that is what we are going to do. Anyway, here is the video. Enjoy!!
