L.I: to know how to do the meaning and to know how to describe a photo. 

This week for writing we were learning how to identify the image and to know the meaning of words. We had to write down the meaning for Graphics, Static Image, Tracking, and Font.

We also needed to write down what the man was doing and what was going on. The company the mans working for is the headphone company. The headphone company want to band the headphones because when people go on vacations and they cant hear anything then they might fall they might get hit or they might fall down the cliff. So thats why the company's banding them. For this task we needed to work in groups. I grouped up with Farzana, Oscar, Lukah, Siale, Te Raumati, and I.

The Lion King Performance

Today we had a performance from the Ormiston Junior College. They were practicing the performance of the Lion king. They took over 12 weeks to practice and set it all up. My favorite character in this performance was Rafiki. I like Rafiki because she had a good voice and she was really good at acting. The best thing was that they needed to practice there lines so they wont make a mistake.

 I liked the scene when Rafiki was singing and when Simba defeated Skarr. The director of the lion king performance was Ryan. The principal of the school is lol. It took 2 hours because they were performing the Lion king and because we weren't watching the movie. There was heaps of local schools coming to watch them perform. They made some mistakes but they kept on going on. Ormiston Junior College had to practice there performance in the dance studio. 

Kiwi Can / T3

Resilience - Means coping with challenges and bouncing back

Emotions - Means feeling strong things.

The energizer was called emotion cards. Its when you will need to find the right card that has the same emotion as you. When we find our group we will need to make it go into less to more. So my words was misery.
 Misery means miserable. Then we started talking about our catch phrase and what it meant. Then we went into our activity. Our activity was called act it. So we will get given a card and we will need to act out what it says. The play we did was the x factor role. So she will be shy and scared and her besties will come in and say you got this.
