Our Future Focus Poster

During reading time, we were given a challenge by our teacher Mrs Nua to create a digital learning object (DLO) about Future Focus Learning. My friends and I got together and had a planning session to decide what we could make for this task. After a while, we came to an agreement on doing a poster. We thought it would be different to what everyone else was doing since the majority of DLOs that were being created were movies. This movie shows the process of our poster and what meanings are behind the things in it.

Laita drew, painted and came up with what objects should be in this awesome painting. She was involved a lot in this and did an amazing job. Although, all of us contributed really well and worked pretty hard. Enjoy!

Smart Footprint Product

Class 1 - Smart Foot-Print from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.

During Class time, my friends and I created a movie all about leaving a smart footprint and being cyber smart. We created our own lyrics to one of our favourite songs, recorded it ourselves and filmed a few days after. Kaycee, Lisia and Tyla-Marie were the ones who sang in this movie. Hope you enjoy! And don't forget to take a look at my friends blogs too!

Here are some facts about Sound that my friends and I found out and produced a movie for. Hopefully you can understand. :) Enjoy!

We Are Never EVER Getting Back Together!

I've always wanted to make a remake of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, so I asked Miss King for permission and she practically said "Why the heck not!". Kaycee and I planned out the scenes for the MTV. As the part Taylor Swift, I grabbed a friend of mine: Tyla-Marie. Logan played the part of the ex and some my other friends playing as random people. Behind the camera was me and I directed it along with Kaycee. I had a lot of fun making this! HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

4). Miraculously, I glided along the cool blue waves.

5). Without knowing, a wave crashes on top of me.

6). Floating on the water, I shake my fake mane of a lion.

7). Flinging the water from my wet suit, I paddle back to shore.

8). Wet and soaking, I shudder as Jay squeezes me with joy.

9). "GREAT JOB!" he cheers.

10). A couple of weeks later, I find myself staring on a commercial.

5 Week Reflection

Do you remember when my friends and I made a movie about what we wanted to do in 2013? If you haven't, here's the link. Anyway, we had to look back on the past 5 weeks and reflect on it. Some of the questions were: What's going well? What still needs work? What's next? Here's what Tyla-Marie and I created! Hope you like it!

Einstein Poem

Here is a poem that Kaycee, Tyla-Marie and I made. We had to make something creative and to explain what Einstein once said. I guess you can say, we simplified his quote. Hope you like our poem.

How weird are us humansFor we don’t know the reason of life
Although I think I have a hunch
We might just be a bunch
of people here to please each other
Making us feel happy just like daughter and mother

For life is not long
We shall live it not right nor wrong
The things you do, affect me inside
Not to mention also the outside

Although they are unknown
Destiny binds us together for we have grown
by the ties of sympathy

The ideals that have lighted my way
“And time after time given me new courage” I say
To face life cheerfully and focus on the good things
Like Kindness, beauty and truth
Which can value more than a million rings.

BY TYLA-MARIE, KAYCEE AND GLORIA

Here is Einstein's quote:

How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...
The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.

Changing Directions

Miss King showed us 2 sayings. Confucius was a man who once said "If you don't change direction, you may end up where you are heading". Meaning if you always follow one path your whole life, you miss out all the other opportunities.

The second was HAPPINESS vs JOY. We were asked by Miss King what's the difference between joy and happiness.

Our teacher gave us ether the 1st saying or the 2nd and we had to interpretate this in a photo. In a group, Kaycee, Tyla-Marie and I used an iPod to take the pics. Here is a presentation with the photos we took. Each photo represents  "If you don't change direction, you may end up where you are heading".
