My silhouette art
In Room 4 we've been focusing on our art for a while. We had to choose what type of silhouettes to paint. Mine is based on an image of my favourite group, I wanted to do a different one but I like how this came out as a silhouette. For the background we could chose between shades of sunsets, red to yellow, or blue to pink. I decided to use white, pink, purple, blue and a tiny bit of black at the top. While the paint was drying I began cutting the silhouette out. The bits between the legs and the rocks made it difficult to cut out so it took awhile.
Once I had fully cut it out I glued it on. It wasn't necessary but I ended up cutting little birds out and a sign - I got the idea from their previous albums, so it wasn't just random details - then I was done.
Here is how my art turned out.

Purple day (Epilepsy awareness day)
Today is a mufti day, we were told to try and dress in purple. Why? Well it's to help raise awareness for a medical condition called epilepsy. Epilepsy affects a persons brain, people with Epilepsy can have seizures / Epilepsy fits. We have a few people in our school who have Epilepsy.
Interviewing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to interview the Prime Minster, Jacinda Ardern, with my good friend, Aye.
The Prime Minster gave our school a little visit during February. She gave us a speech-like talk in the Team 5 block about how we're not to young to have someone care about our opinions before walking around having lunch with us and the younger kids of Room 21.
Aye and I finally got to interview the Prime Minister! Here is the video of our interview.

Divine Division
I enjoyed completing this task especially doing the doc. The division wasn't to difficult but it wasn't completely easy either. I completed this task yesterday but forgot to post it so here you go!

Is it ever okay to steal?
Today a group of us got to take part in class on air filming. We were chosen to have a debate. The debate was about stealing, and why we are for or against it being okay to steal. I was with Kiarah and Cherish (Check out their blogs, and leave a nice comment). My group were against. We originally wanted to be for, but we took the challenge of going against. On the 3rd slide it shows a few of the reasons we had against each argument.

Delicious Division
Instead of doing more addition or subtraction today, we focused on division. Division is not my strongest point in maths so it was a tiny bit confusing at first, but I used my multiplication knowledge to help me, making it easier to finish it off.

Presenting Place Value 2
Today was the second day of online school this week. For maths we're learning about decimals and addition. I enjoyed doing these slides, for me it wasn't that difficult it was more like a recap of what we had learn't last year.
