Emoji Art

Hi bloggers, Yesterday we did a emoji doc about what kinds of emotions we might use in a situation. We had to think of emotions that we already know in alphabetical order then when we got one in each we had to add more from the internet. We only had 5 minutes to start then the we had to finish it the next day. When my emotions doc was finished we went on a site named Tagul word art we had to insert our words onto the Tagul. Then you will have to choose an emoji like a demon, angel, chilled, crying, dead, sleeping emojis and much more that you could choose. Next you will have to choose a font to make your emoji standout with the colours you pick. Then you can change the layout of your emoji to make it better when you can put the words everywhere inside of  your emoji you choose.

Then you can choose the colours you would like to use for your emoji and you choose a background for your emoji. When you are finished you would see a button that says visualise when you press it will load then it will show up with what you picked from those four things. After that you are finished then you can play around with it when you think you got the hang of it. Have a look at my emotions document. We did this because so we can ask people for help when you are emotional and if you are feeling like you want to punch something or someone but instead you tell how you feel and can get some help.

















This is my emoji that I made on word art.

I made two emojis one chilled and one is a 
dead looking emoji.




















Here is my emoji document of different emotions 

you can use in a situation.

Des Hunt Visits Waikowhai Primary

Today, Des Hunt came to Waikowhai Primary School with his wife Lynne .  He told us about his life and he told us about his family background. He showed us an explosion because he made a fire torch look cool.  He is one of the famous authors who writes stories for children in primary to Intermediate. Des Hunts books include action, adventure and science to make his books interesting for the children. He showed us some physics with chemicals to make caps blow up into the air.  Another thing he showed us a Magic fly stick, a Magic fly stick makes a piece of plastic fly in the air but in stead of it touching the Magic fly stick it tries to go away from it. His presentation was cool because he used to have a cat but then he accidentally ran it over by his car. 

My favourite part of the presentation was when the balloon exploded.  It was my favourite part because he was winding it up and he was moving away from it exploding in his face, When it exploded it gave everyone a huge fright and it scattered on the floor and on Des Hunt. I think that it was important because it was relating to the book because he said eels grow but cats don't.

Now that I have seen the presentation I think I am going to read more of the Des Hunt books because I like action books and adventure books.  Another thing I could do is order a book online to read at home and school in my own time. I am going to think of questions to ask him on his website and go to local library's to find some Des Hunt books to take home and read.
