EVENTS

Event 1, 8 of March

Today we had an incursion about sea creatures, I didn't at first think it would be fun because I didn't think that there were many different sea animals. I was very wrong, the incursion was amazing with all the different fish shapes and sizes, but there was one part I thought was a bit creepy but I'll say that later. First a man introduced himself to us and then told us he would be showing us a little presentation about his visits to many different seas and oceans around the world.There are many different animals some were big and some where as small as your thumb, I was amazed by how many different fish there are as well as the total number of sea animals.There are up to or over one sea creature per person in the whole world at least, thats over 7 Billion. But, unfortunately our own selfishness and laziness pollutes these lovely animals homes destroying there way of life. The man said that he found a dead turtle with 144 cigars in his stomach, poor thing. Now to the part I think was creepy, the man showed us scientists experimenting with sea creatures doesn't sound creepy. Well what if the creatures where DEAD thats right, but they were still in one piece with no blood so its not that bad. It was only creepy to me because the animals were staring at the camera, like they were watching me from the dead, as zombies, but its wasn't that long so it did bother me much at all. At the end he gave us all a test, for a prize. I didn't get it, but when he told us what it was I was happy I didn't win because the winner received a dead baby seahorse. Before he left the man let us feel same stuff he had on a table beside him, there were whale bones, shark fins and many more. I still have same questions for him but I guess that some questions just can't be answered all in one day but I hope to know in the future. DID U KNOW? There are up to 17,650 different species that we have only discovered this means that there could be hundreds or even thousands more to discover. Only about 5% of the shark species will attack humans, and the average number of humans killed by sharks are 9 per year.

Event 2 team 2 week 6-8

Its was finally time to start animation. My group name was Dancing Flying Trains with Ebony, Asha and I. We came up with our group name by using the best thing in the world for us e.g. Asha's is flying, Ebony's is dancing and mine is trains so I used these words to make up a random name and yah thats how we came up with our group name. We were did The Mermaid Story and no I did not chose that, I just agreed because I didn't care at the time. We got our backgrounds done, our characters created and our mouths made. We started the filming but we did get sidetracked at one point but in the end it all worked really well. I took the pictures, Ebony and Asha worked together on the scenes. But I had one regret, we did a scene that took 45 minutes to get ready and we only took 0:12s of photos. Next we exported the animation to iMovie, we did the transitions and put in some text areas. Then we exported the iMovie of our animation to garageband were we added the sound, we started recording and I have like 7/8s worth of lines. Anyway Ebony was going to be coming late so Asha did her lines and got them over and done with. Then I had to do mine and I felt like pulling my hair out when recess stared and we only got 1 line in but afterwords Sue put me on the waiting list for Barney a.k.a Alexanders dad to help us record, we managed to be second the next day. When we were done recording with him, all we had to do was move them into place and we were finished. We got it checked for our final publish so that we can put it onto a disk for the night.
