Self Portrait

Description: The best images to use on our posts are ones we have created ourselves or our own photos. We have been using Google Drawing to create our own and have learnt how to use new tools to make a self portrait. We took a selfie and had to make sure we had our head and shoulders in the picture before we fitted it to the page. Next we used the polyline tool to draw around our face because it is the only line tool that you can colour in. This was tricky because you had to use the polyline in small bits. Next we had to match our skin colour and then we went into the custom tool so we could make our fill transparent. We did this so we could trace round our mouth and our nose. We used the magnifying tool to zoom in so it was easier to do my nose and mouth. I’m happy with the way my eyes looks on my self portrait because the center is almost the same colour. I will have to work on my mouth. Thank you for reading my blog post. Have you ever tried to draw your own self portrait? If not, I hope you will have a go and share your effort with me.

Safe Walking

If you go walking you have to wear shoes. You also have to look for sneaky driveways. You have to look left and right when you cross the road. You need to stay on the footpath. These are all the things that Constable Jos taught us when we learned about Safe Walking. Do you do these things?

My adventure

Last year I went to Punakaiki with Dad, Finnian, Miro,Nover and James. The next day we went for a walk to the beach. When we got to the beach James showed us a track that went to a marine reserve. There was nothing there until the tide went out. When the tide was out I saw lots of big starfish and one kina. Dad found some little fish and a crab. It was fun exploring the marine reserve.
