My Speech

This is a video of my speech that I did about Hurricane Irene. I think I did well because on my score card, it said that I used three known language features, had eye contact 75% of the time, and got an overall score of 20/24. However, I think I could have had a better visual aid, because all I had was a small map.

I was really nervous before I started, especially because I went first, although I felt really good when I had finished it.

How to create an Infographic

Here is a list of instructions to create an infographic. There are quite a few programs that you can use, but I used "Pictochart".

1) Choose a subject (e.g clouds).
2) Sign in (or create an account).
3) Delete all the irrelevant text that is already there.
4) Drag a text box to where you want to type and adjust.
5) Start typing.
6) If you run out of space in your box, make it bigger or add another one.
7) Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6.

Add images and change background colour if you wish. An infographic shouldn't take any longer than two hours to create.

MInions Playing Sport

Below, you will see some videos of the minions from Despicable Me playing various sports including soccer and tennis (my two favourite sports) and almost playing golf (my favourite one of these videos). I like these videos because they combine two things I love: sport and minions, and I hope that you enjoy these videos too.


Tech

This term for tech, I'm doing hard tech with Mr P (he's awesome). I've already finished my door hanger which I put minions on (my little sister loves it). I'm currently working on a pencil case and a pendant. The pencil case is made out of metal and you can't buy them anywhere, you have to make them in Mr P's class. My favourite tool to use is the electric sander because it's really easy to use. I also like using the saw, the electric saw (although I was scared of it at first) , and the drill. As well as those things, I really enjoyed painting the minions and my initials on my door hanger.

I knew that hard tech would be my favourite thing about tech, but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do.
