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.
