Whitebait studios part 1!

 Hello bloggers!

As you may know i'm a Year 8. At the end of Year 8 you get to make a Year 8 video, which we are doing. Last year they just were given an iPad and a certain time and just to make it. But this year our amazing teacher Miss Rennell got us Emma from whitebait studios. I am very very grateful for this opportunity and I think I can speak on behalf of the Year 8s too. I am most certainly grateful we got to do this and still doing the video in the making (: Whitebait studios is where brain buster and what now is.


I won't spoil it too much but this year we got a song and rewrote the lyrics, also only 5 of the Year 8s including me went to whitebait studios and sang the song, the song that we rewrote the lyrics to. We are very very grateful. Then we get to go back on December 3rd and all the Year 8s get to go and edit the video we made (Part 2 will be after all of us go to whitebait studios) but for now I will be talking about yesterday. Yesterday 5 of us went to whitebait studios. We got to sing the song, Mike was helping us and doing the autotune. He was helping make the song the best it can be. 

It was amazing and such a great experience, I bet all the Year 8s from last year are very jealous of what we are making this year. But a massive thanks to Emma the person that has helped us through the whole way, she helped us think of things, helped us filming and singing the song. Thanks to Matt her husband that did all the filming today. Thanks to Mike that helped us sing the song. It was so amazing and I would love to do it amazing if I could do it again..

Here are the photos....







Have you ever watched What now?
Do your school have a Year 8 video?

Until next time.
Which will be part 2.

Soft balls aren't soft...

Hello Bloggers,

For the past couple of weeks we have been doing soft ball.

So today I thought I would talk about Soft ball.

Firstly what we have done, we have practised like all the basics, we haven't played a real game yet though, but we have been practicing like catch being fielders and hitting the soft ball with a bat.

But I will talk about our most frequently one. Stella, Stella doesn't teach us all the it switches between people, but we played a mini game not like the actual games. Also we are just learning so we haven't done like the real stuff yet but are very good so far.


For the game there is a square and then you have to run to the bases after you hit the ball with a bat, and if your a fielder you wait until the hitter hits and then get the ball and throw it to the person on one of the bases. I was a fielder first, I didn't go on the diamond until the end bit.

As confusing as it is it was surprisingly easy.

Here are some tips!

I thought it was so much fun and a good experience and we do it every Monday.  I think that if you have the chance make sure you do it!

Thats it from me!
-BYE

A HIPPO IN A BAG OF CHIPS!?!

Hello Bloggers,

On Tuesday we have Miss Morgan to come and teach us Cybersmart, 

its the 3rd session and we are learning about : How To evaluate Media.

Firstly we watched and discussed a video about a hippo in a bag of chips. Yes that's right CHIPS... Obviously its fake!

Then we looked at the advertisement about a model in front of a beach for a snickers ad and pointed out the things that were photoshopped.


Then we went onto a place to get quotes, I chose Walt Disney and found the quote and researched to see if the quote is actually come them.

This is where its from Brainy Quotes 

And this was the quote

Mickey Mouse is, to me, a symbol of independence. He was a means to an end. - Walt Disney

Now we made a background for it and here it is. Mickey Mouse the lunatic




I hope you enjoyed, I certainly did it was a super fun task, to learn about to know what's fake etc.

Do you know how things can be fake on the internet?

Do you know how to figure out if its unsafe or unreal?

Did you like my Mickey Mouse the lunatic?

BYE!
