Hey guy's Antonio here, today we are making our tote bags. We are making tote bags for our gala day on the 25th of November, you can also come. And there is also other classes making stuff like room Waitamata making soap, Hauraki with tote bags, Manukau with paper that is recyclable and more. We are making bags for the environment because everyone is using plastic bags and they are bad for the environment, they are bad because they can go out to the sea and turtles might eat them. So our bags are made to re-use. we are selling stuff to raise money for our junior playground.
The Process
The first step is to get some fabric or calico, then you have to figure out how big it is going to be. Then you can screen print it if you want. Screen print is using paint. First you have to draw a design and then cut it out ( do not cut the side, only cut it in the middle ). And make sure that you do this all inside out. After all that you have to get another calico that's the same length and same width, so after getting one you have to sew the sides and the bottom be leave the top so you can open your bag. Then you have to make two handles for your bag, then pin them on so you know where you have to sew them ( Make sure that the handles are six meters away from the corner ). Then when you sew the handles on you have to sew it as a box and you could add a x in the middle but you don't have to, because it can get really confusing. Then your done.
My Reflection
I Think I am doing good with my bags, because I've made three but I messed on my handles. This learning is making me think of the environment and what goes in the drains and out to the sea. I think this task that we have been doing is easy because I've learnt how to sew and I now know how to make a tote bag.

Hey Guy's Antonio here, Today I will show you my book review because I have finished it. So The task was to read a book that the teacher gave you and you have to go back into the story and tell what happens in the story and you had yo create the setting and you could find some vocab in the book that you don't know. Then after we all finished we were been put in to groups of six or five, Then in our groups we had to share it to each other and present our slideshow, Then you had to tell your group what happens and then you had to give feedback and tell everyone do you think you did good or could you of done better. And my book was could Dunger by Joy Cowley. I found it hard because the book was kinda hard for me because there was a lot of vocabulary that I didn't know. I think I could of done it more faster and add more detail to it. Here is what I have done.
Talofa Lava Blogging world, Antonio here. This week we've been doing a book review and we had to read a book to the end. For this task we had to use a site called Tinker cad, on tinker cad you can build 3D stuff. So our task was to build the setting of the book. And my book was called Dunger by Joy Cowley. and heres some photos. My book is about two kids that were going to queens town but their parents cancelled their flight so they had to go to their grandparents house.
Talofa Lava Blogging world,
for last past few weeks we have been focusing on dance. We've been practising our dances, adding moves and presenting it. We had to get 5 or 6 people in our group or more. The people in my group were Lopeti, Dazarhan, Richard, Emelio, Paula, Pila and me. We had 4 weeks to practise our dance, and then we had to present it to the class and then, to the senior syndicate. 5 groups are going to present it in assembly. I learnt how to dance and I learnt some dance possessions. Something that was hard for me was presenting it to the senior syndicate, it was hard because I was too shy to show our dance, but I still did it.
Hi guy's Antonio here. Last, last week we did cyber smart, and our task was to do a slide show that represents a good blog post. Then we had to show how we can explain it in a different ways, and that different way was using Screencastify. Screencastify is an app on my Chromebook that records your screen or it can record you. Here is my screencastify of me explaining my work. It was easy for me because we do blog post every Friday and I always use positive, thoughtful and helpful sentences in my comments. Comment if you like and see ya later.
Talofa Lava blogging world!, It's me Antonio. Today we went to a Science show in the morning and it was AWESOME!.There were two people named Richard the best magician and Robyn the wonderful backstage person. I really liked the show, I was amazed by the red ball trick, the red ball trick was when lot's of red balls started to appear, he took them out his mouth, his pockets and his fingers. Something I already knew was a ping pong trick, that's when he hovered a ping pong ball on a hair blower, I knew that was going to happen because the air decides to pull it up and gravity decides to pull it down and I all so saw it on a video. I was surprised that he made huge bubbles with different objects and I was surprised that he hovered a big world ball on a leaf blower. I was surprised about learning what water is made out of and I was surprised that that is the only liquid in the world that has three different states. It can be a Gas/Liquid/Solid. I learnt how nappies work, it has a special powder called Polymer, when the baby's pee touches the polymer the polymer has an quick reaction and freezes the pee into a solid so the nappies is still dry. I learnt what fire is made of or needs to exist. It is made out of fuel/wood paper plastic and heat and oxygen. I wonder if he could learn bigger and crazier experiments and I wonder if I could try these cool experiments. I wonder why you need fuel, heat and oxygen to make fire exist. I wonder how that powder makes the pee into a solid.
If you like comment and I'll see you later!
