Week 2 Technology - Graphics

In the absence of Mr Pineda I was able to complete my set task and was also able to complete a DLO I needed to complete from school. My set task was to complete my charity box and the charities I chose were: Ronald McDonald House, Kauri Dieback charity, Temperance Union, and Read Around the World. Two of them I made up and the other two are charities that I felt have made a positive impact on the communities around New Zealand. Read Around the World is a charity that helps children who find reading difficult and Kauri dieback is a charity that will help protect the brittle kauri trees of New Zealand. Today Mr Mckenzie-Brown was the substitute teacher. He usually works as a senior teacher in English.

Charity Box Vocab Sayings

 

Today Mr Pineda got us to familiarise our selves with vocabulary relating to topics that we will come across later in this orientation. The topics were: slogans, shape, topic, and donate. Some of the phrases that we had to match I have not heard of for example fork out. This slowed down the time for me completing the set task. Other than that I found this activity relatively easy and surprisingly fun. So far graphics with Mr Pineda is going great and I can not wait to start doing more advanced things.

Decorative Letters - Name

We are three weeks into our new orientation at Tamaki College and we have finished our name art. They are different because we did them in decorative letters for example instead of writing an 'I' I did a candle. Mr Pineda (Tech teacher) has laminated it for us and they look great. After I wrote my name I drew: a British tea pot because I am British by blood, a kiwi because I am Maori, and sushi because it is my favourite food.

Today Mr Pineda had us carrying on our work from last week which was doing our decorated names. Today I have finished the letters and I also finished colouring in my letters. I have received an excellence grade on my work and I have been enjoying my time inside Mr Pineda's classroom. I now need to finish off my toondoo that explains why graphics can turn out to be an amazing career.
