Since the presentation of festival of the arts is coming up we had to figure out a way tp present our photos so we decided to do that in the form of a slide.

festival of the arts:Photography
At the moment in photography we are learning about forced perspective. Forced perspective is a optical illusion using perspective. A common one is making it look like you're holding up the leaning tower of pisa. We got to make some of our own. We couldn't make that many as there were only two of us.

Festival of the Arts Kete: Photography
For Festival of the arts I chose Photography out of the 7 options. In photography we are learning how to set up and take a good photo. We started off with going around and taking pictures of things that start or look like a letter of the alphabet. We weren't able to find all of the letters but we got most of them.

Art class: Superheros
In Art class we had to draw an exsiting superhero or create an OC (orginal character). I decided to make a OC named May Mcduck who is able to summon her duck army. I based her off one of my friends and ducks are usally associated with ducks. I don't really know why I choose her. It might've been because of her weird powers. I wasn't sure what my hero's powers were in the first place but then later decided to make it so she could summon a duck army. I'm not sure why I choose the colors I choose. I'm quite proud of how the dress came out with the blue and white.
100 word story about NZ in 2082
It’d be like futurama withthe head in the jar to people like Lorde, Peter Jackson and other famous people (not just New Zealanders). We’d have partnership with America’s president Kanye west or Dwayne Johnson and we’d trade whittakers for cinnamon toast crunch cereal. We might end up becoming a underwater city. We’d be like The Atlantis from the disney movie about Atlantis (Atlantis: The lost empire which is a very good movie you should watch it). We’d have a secret base under antarctica for a zombie apocalypse.
But if we’re talking real here then we would probably all be dead.

Quail island
'What is quail island?
Quail island, also known as Otamahua which means "where the children go to collect sea eggs", used to be a quarantine island where the extremely sick people with things like measles and leaprosy would live. Animals used in trips to antartica would go there to train and be checked for any illnesses
Where is Quail island
You have to take a boat from lyttelton harbour to get there.
History of Quail island
Quail island wasn't much use for Maori settlement as it had no rivers and you would have to go to the beach to get water but it was a good source of food.
It was brought by the Ward brothers in 1850 and they transported mulitple farm animals and wood so they can live and farm on the island. Unfortunatly towards the end the building process they drowned but this also meant that many introduced species now inhabited the island and this caused damage to the native flora and fauna.
They began to use it as a human quarantine for people mainly with leprosy. They also used it to quarantine dogs, ponies and other animals.
When steam boats were invented less people got sick which meant less people went to Quail island.
In present day a group of volunteers along with the Department of Conservation dedicate their time to restoring the island to its orginal native state which involves things like planting trees, helping the white flippered penguins find a home and keeping away many predators.

We went to Quail island so we can learn about how to keep our native flora and fauna alive and learn about the importance of looking after the land so that it is there for future generations.
Reflecting back on the trip I believe I learned a lot about how to keep the environment alive even though for most of the trip I was tired and my body was extremly sore, I shall ever forget the experince.
