Mehi and Lyric - Graphic Design - School Playground Ideas

This is a DLO(Digital Learning Object) that me and my buddy Lyric did for Graphic Design. This DLO basically shows what we have been learning in Graphic Design for the past few weeks. For this term our group is working on new Playground activities that will be easy to make and that will be very easy with accessibility. Me and Lyric have chosen to do The Bean Bag Toss Game because it seems easy and simple to make and the game is A LOT OF FUN!!!

RECORDING WITH JAM BUS!!!

OH MY GOSH, Today was SOOOOOOO COOL because I got to record with Jam bus which is a Professional Recording Company that goes around different schools recording with them. I got to actually RECORD with them I mean like at first I was nervous because I thought that I would mess up and let the team down but luckily I didn't (I think)...We had a few practice rounds and then BOOM the magic was just about to BEGIN!!!

First all the musicians played their instruments for a backing track. After that, it was time to record the vocals, which were me and Ma'asi. I had a few mistakes but that's okay because we could just record it again but the clock was ticking and we needed to be efficient with the time. I sang and sang the verses and chorus' while WILLY WAS VIDEO RECORDING ME!!! It was SOOO FUNNY because I'll block the camera and then he'll try to sneak up and get a glimpse of me. After a while, I didn't really care. I actually called him one of the paparazzi's, but the good ones!!

Anywho, it was time to record the endings, 'MAKE THAT CHANGE' part. Even though it was so short it was quite hard because I had to make sure I said it clearly and I had to make sure it was in the right timing.

Then after morning tea I got to RECORD AGAIN!!!! YAY!! Well only for the song Titanium which was sung by Me, Ma'asi, Raena and Petra.

But after it was all done I actually felt sad because I LOVED THE WHOLE THING!!! I also felt SO PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I ACCOMPLISHED ANOTHER DREAM OF MINE!!! It was a magical moment and I just LOVED IT!!! :) I even got TWO STICKERS FROM THE JAMBUS!!!

Moments like these in life are just so UNFORGETTABLE!!!

Bus Stop Activity DLO

So today our class did a Bus Stop where you basically are put into groups and each group has a piece of paper that has either a question or an idea you have to elaborate on. The Bus Stop part is when we all have to go in a clockwise way and head to the next idea/question. There were so many ideas that I had to cut them down to just a few which are shown on this DLO(Digital Learning Object).

This is a 6 Hats reflection about 'The Big Reveal' Experience. So basically today after morning tea every class of the school had a Whole school Boot Camp where we were split into our house groups. I'm in Alamein by the way but anywho we had three rotations which were quite tiring and exhausting. My adrenaline was at about 85 percentage but that didn't stop me from completing the tasks. I had so much fun working with my team and new peers!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO.....ME!!!

So today is my BIRTHDAY which is AMAZING. My class sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me which made me feel stoked. I didn't expect it because I tried keeping my birthday on a low profile but eventually SOMEONE told but that's okay. I loved today and THANK YOU to everyone!!!

IT'S ENDING TOO FAST!!!

OH MY GOSH I can't believe that it's already the last day of holidays. I feel like holidays only began yesterday. I didn't get up to much in the holidays just being a tidy sloth. I had a few highlights though which are The Rock Climbing experience and The BAKING! It's just ending too Fast.......Well we're going to have to face reality but I'm happy that it's time to go back to school because holidays for me are BORING. I mean like I hardly do anything. I can't wait to see all my friends and especially the work!!! *SARCASM TONE* HOORAAYY!!! But I sure am gonna miss the sleeping in......Good times......It's getting late and I should probably go to bed because I have breakfast club which I LOVE doing because it's just fun!!!

Now this task shows the Top 10 Michael Jackson Music Videos but in my perspective. Now this was an idea from my friend Willy and yes Willy told me this idea. I was asking him what should I blog and he said this. It took quite a while to make this because it was VERY HARD deciding. But here it is! ENJOY:)

Rock Climbing!!!

This is a google drawing that I have created which is about a short reflection on my day at a fun Rock Climbing Place, which I went with my fellow friends a.k.a Junior Youth Group. Sorry I didn't blog this earlier it's just I was having some technical difficulties but alas it is here!

Baking in the HOLIDAYS!

Hello everybody today I felt like baking so I made these delicious, fluffy muffins/cupcakes. They were super moist in the inside and had a super chocolatey frosting. I don't really have a recipe for this its basically just a cake batter but I put it into cupcake tins. But here is a recipe that you can use from a website called www.chelsea.co.nz. Hope you enjoy making them and leave a comment to tell me how it turned out :)

The finished Product:

NEK MINIT...Let's face reality, homemade muffins don't look like that(Unless you're really passionate about the presentation). I mean like c'mon it doesn't really matter about the presentation. It's the taste that matters.

My REAL Homemade Muffins:

ART Technology Reflection

 

So I was trying to think of something to blog about and I thought that I should blog a little reflection about what I did for Technology this term. Which was art and YES I know you see that lion...I drew that lion on paper.... Yep don't be surprised...It's being framed......I'm a professional...kidding:)

It was so much fun in ART and I LOVED every bit of it! I learned so much and it was a wonderful experience!

My New Locker Label!!

Hey everybody this is my NEW Locker Label. Sorry I didn't blog this earlier it's because I was going through my work finding things to blog and I came over this so here it is. 

All these things on my locker label represent me!

As you can see I have some music notes that represents the love and passion I have for music and singing. The Tongan flag represents my culture which is Tonga. 

I also have a quote from the one and only Michael Jackson. I chose that particular quote because whenever I would look at it it will just remind me that it's better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation and YES I had to put a picture of Michael Jackson because not only do I LOOOOVVVEEE him but he inspires me SOOO much and whenever I see a picture of him it makes me HAPPY :) 

I also have a picture of two girls playing netball. I added those pictures because I love to play netball. 

Last but not first I have two different kinds of gemstones, Amethyst and Sapphire that are in a shape of a heart. Those hearts represents love. The reason why I chose to do gemstones in a heart form is because gemstones are indestructible and eternal, that's what I think LOVE is!

LAST DAY OF THE TERM!!!

WOW today was such a blast! Well firstly because in the morning we started out with managing self then it was Morning Tea. Morning Tea was fun because we were playing touch with Mr Nepia and Caleb(Music Teacher). After Morning tea the band had to go and practice. I am so lucky to be apart of the band, I mean like I love to sing and entertain. We were going to perform at the school assembly. We were going to perform Man in the mirror by the one and only Michael Jackson and another song called Seven Nation Army(I don't know the artists who sing this song...Sorry...). Anywho we went through a few practices all the way until lunch time.

Lunch time was SOOO much fun because I actually enjoyed playing touch(I don't really like the sport touch and when I play it I find it boring). I was in the game and got to have a few runs too and just before the bell rang for the end of lunch time the whole school had to pick up rubbish. 

Then lunchtime was over and again we had another few practices at band (just to make our acts tight). I was soon starting to get nervous because it was nearly assembly and I was performing for the first time. The time was going by real fast and the next thing I know it was assembly time. At first I was happy but then the closer it got to us performing I started becoming nervous. After a few notices from teachers it was time for us to perform. I got up proud, went up, grabbed the microphone and just waited. The first song we performed was Seven Nation Army. After that it was finally the time to perform Man in the Mirror. I was getting nervous but I soon realised that there was no need for shyness because I was surrounded by people who I talk to and people who I learn with. 

The first beat came in and I started singing. I was so proud of myself because there were people cheering us on and I was getting confident.....I think.

The song went onto the chorus.....second verse......and then the last few choruses. It was coming to an end and I was getting sad because I LOVED it. It just felt so magical and beautiful to even be up there. Once the song was done everybody was shouting and cheering. I was just SOOOO PROUD OF MYSELF. I have accomplished one of my dreams, to perform in front of a crowd. All I needed to do was to control my shyness and just be confident. It was such a privilege to sing in front of everybody and I am so proud of myself. 

Mehi and Ma'asi - Grammarnastics

This is a Google Presentation that me and my buddy, Ma'asi have created. This task was part of our Grammarnastics unit which showcases how to use Past Tense words in a sentence.
