Zombie Apocalypse

 This week we were having a zombie apocalypse. My class and I were the only survivors. 

We had to make slides explaining each day how we survived and thrived through that day. We had these diary entries written by someone else surviving and had to write down things to remember and new additions to the plot too. We were in groups of 3 to 4 and I was with my friends Camille and Sophia. 

I found quite tricky to think of all the ways to survive, like how to find food, water, and shelter, because without those necessities we would die. Next time I would change how we made our weapons, because our teacher taught us even EASIER ways to make them. I really enjoyed working with my friends to survive the apocalypse, and I loved listening to Mrs Naden read us the diary entries, because they were REALLY cool.

I learnt about improvising and how to survive in the wild. I hope you enjoyed reading about my week. Here are the slides me and my friends made together:

The Paralympics

 Today we had to create a fact file about the Paralympic Games. My digital learning object shows that I can create an informative fact file.

We had to make a copy of the original one, that was empty of facts, and search up five different facts to put on our fact file. We then had to take a screenshot or publish it to the web, and blog it. Before we blogged it, we had to make sure the facts were true.

I found it tricky to find multiple facts that weren't random and not true, because anybody can put anything on the internet, so I had to find multiple sources who said it was true. I enjoyed creating the fact file over all, because I found out lots of interesting things I didn't know about the Paralympics. Next time I would change the background to be more colourful.

Here is a screenshot of my fact file:

Past - Present

 Privet! Yesterday we had our cybersmart teacher in. We were told to go onto this slideshow and insert photos of what the item in the photo looked like today. We learnt about copyright and past. Mrs Torrie gave us a series of slides where we had to put in the photos. 

I wasn't there so I had to do it today. My friend Camille helped me and explained what I needed to do, and then I knew what to do. We would look at a photo of the item from the olden days, and then we would have to put in another photo next to it of what it looks like now. 

It was pretty hard to come up with the ones for the last few, but I just asked Camille what she had done, and she gave me some ideas. I enjoyed finding out what togs and TV's and all of the other things looked like in the past because I didn't know. Next time I would choose different things to put on the slides. 

Have you ever seen what olden day swimsuits looked like? Did you know what their cars had looked like before this? Tell me in the comments! Here is the link to my friend Camille's blog: https://saintmarysgiscamilles.blogspot.com/ . Here's the slideshow!
