FF CC T4

These two weeks I have done character model but mostly more about me. I put Ghost at the top and my pop outs and flaps down the bottom to make it look tidy. I think that this Fabulous Finish has a lot of detail, colour, potential and a overflowing honey jar. I tried to do my best because all the others were not as good as I wanted them to be. That's why I put it on black paper and made it a bit different to the other Fabulous finish's. I rate my Fabulous finish a 9/10.

• Finding fresh Water.
• Make sure you find water that does not have any bugs or anything dirty in it so it is safe to drink.
• Boil the water over a fire so all the dirty stuff that you did not get is out
•  Make sure that you did not find the water in a big dirty puddle but try to find the water in a river.
• Or you can drink from running water it would be easier.

• Shelter
• Build away from rivers or any creaks.
• Build on a flat, dry surface.
• Make sure that your Shelter can protect you from rain and wind

CC2 T4 CS

This week I have done Digital Design for this weeks Chapter Chat but I decided to do another one that is creation station. I did not know what to do for another one but I did creation since its my favourite. So I picked Digital Design but I did Creation Station because it is one of the easiest tasks for me and I had a idea in my head what I could do. This is my drawing of Ghost and I tried to do a good job and make it  a Overflowing honey jar and "Quality not Quantity."

Task 3 Shelter Building

Today for Whetu survivor we went into our troops and built a shelter we had to make sure that we could survive a night in a bush with our shelter. Our shelter was successful but I think that we could have done better then what we have created. I think at some times we would work as a team and collaborate, but most of the time a person in my troop would take over and leave some of us out. The hardest part of our shelter building was remembering all of the stuff that we could use and do to make the shelter because at some times we would get a bit over the top and use things that we could not so I think that was the hardest part of our shelter making. But the easiest part was tying all the ropes together because we have already done the knot rotation, so it was good knowing some really tight knots to use.
   

Tent Reflection

Today we put up a tent and it was challenging because we had to follow the instructions. Our weakness was our collaboration and communication. It got tricky we had fun and  we did it and we finished the challenge.

Tent Building

This is our tent building and we also had to chose two tents that would be useful in the bush.
We have done some research and figured out how useful the Tent can be.
This is our Research:

• We can use it for gathering food in it.
• You use the tent in the NZ Bush.
• It is good when you are sleeping or eating when it is raining it wont wet you.
• We can use it for shelter.
• We can use it for sleeping.
• You can use it however if you are tired and it is really sunny.
• You can use the Tents if it is raining you can go to shelter.

W5 CC T4 Digital Design Pick 'n' Mix

This week for Chapter Chat I have done Digital Design/Pick 'n' Mix It was really fun doing this digital design because it was not like the other digital design it was fun and I was learning new things about sneaker brands and how old brands can be. Today I finished and I feel like it has a lot of effort and excellence in it. I tried to make it a overflowing honey jar and I tried to make it have a pop of colour with it to.

Bush Shelter.

For our Whetu Survivor today we have done bush Shelter I have done some research and figured out ways to survive in the bush. Here is my Research:

If you are lost in the NZ Bush and you need to find a good place not somewhere cold
or too hot because then you would be cold/hot, and not by a river cause then it might overflow
and put out your shelter.
A good shelter is probably where you can find  four trees close together so then
you could connect the shelter with the trees and then it will hold the shelter up. 

In the NZ bush there is nothing to harm you except for mosquitoes and bugs.
In your shelter you could build a net or something to catch the mosquitoes.
Or you can get a big stick of something and
crush them.

To build a Shelter in the NZ Bush you would need big branches, big stones, go to a big tree, bark,
leaves and some ferns. So then you can put the big branches in the ground then
you get the big stones and put them around the branches to secure them.
Then you can attach it to you tree. Then you can get some more sticks or
branches and connect the top of the shelter and the
branches/sticks with the tree. To secure your shelter put some bark leaves and ferns on it to
Secure your shelter.

 If you have some spear ferns, branches, leaves and sticks put it inside you shelter at
the bottom so you can have a place to sleep.

Mānuka Research

Manuka

Does it have a different name?   The word mānuka has to names one name in Aotearoa used to refer to Leptospermum scoparium. Another name for Manuka is also Tea tree.


Where to find manuka? 
 You can find it in New Zealand they are usually found on windswept crags and cliff tops.

                                                                                     

  What does Manuka look like? 
         They are basically like a Christmas tree that grows into                          a white flower.



What is one way humans can use your plant? 
We can make tea and beer out of the Manuka plant. A really good way to help with the Manuka plant is you can make medicine out of it to.

Chapter Chat Research

                                Research
This week for Chapter Chat I have done Research. I wanted to do the world records because they are all weird like  my personality This has been challenging because I had to print it out and one went missing so I had to print it out again. But it was fun doing something different for Research. I have tried my hardest and I think it is a overflowing honey jar.
