5 Future Jobs

Filmer

For me I think to be a Filmer you would have to Have experience with cameras and also have a media degree. And to became a Filmer you would probably need to start volunteering to film at any celebration. But also study hard.

Director

Director’s, I wonder how they became one? I think they would need to have inspiration to make movies. Know important things about cameras, and most importantly go to university and study movie making.

Flight Attendant

When you go on a plane you will always see a flight attendant. What do you think they would need to do to get there? I think they would have great hostess skills and not be afraid of heights. Also they would probably need to do a course.

Pilot

To be a pilot you would definitely need to do a course so you can learn how to drive a plane. I think they would like a Flight attendant you shouldn't be afraid of heights.

Lawyer

To me to be a lawyer you have to know what you're studying in university. For example you might want to be a lawyer for crime or young justice. I also think you would need to be very confident and very justifying.  

Maria The Undentified Girl

The greek police had great surprise while searching through a Roma camp. They were originally looking to search for drugs and weapons, as part of an illegal crackdown activity. During the operation the prosecutor saw something standing out. This was a blonde blue-eyed little girl.

Maria was her name and was around four years old. the officials said on Friday that she didn’t look like the couple she was living with. DNA tests proved that she didn’t belong to the couple. And further inspections raised more suspicions.

As the Greek officials try to find her true identity and whether the couple were linked to a trafficking rings, experts are using the case to point out the severe weakness in the country’s birth registration system.

The Greek police have asked for assistance from Interpol in helping find the childs real family. A charity said it has sought the same assistance from the international groups for missing or abused children.

Until just five months ago there was no central register. And even now births declared in different municipalities before early May 2013 are not cross-checked on a national basis.Maria  had been registered in Athens, from where the couple had obtained a birth certificate.

WICKED!

Looking at all the rows of red plushed seats being filled with people, I can't wait until the show starts.  Opening my lollies I start to sink into my chair and get relaxed.

 'The show will start in a couple of minutes' a voice came booming out of the intercom. It started to quiet down as the room started to get dimmer. The show had now started and the first character had walked on stage. 'Glinda the good' was her name and all the little munchkins surrounded her asking all these questions. 'Was it true that you were friends with the wicked witch of the west'? That was the question that had led her into telling them her story of what happened with her and the wicked witch.

I don't want to tell you everything about this show but it was very cool and the actors,singers and dancers were awesome. If you get the chance to see it you would really enjoy it.

   This photo was taken before the show with me and my sister drinking Glinda the good mock tails. 

Art Reflection

This weeks creative strand task was kind of the same as last week as it revolved around finishing our Polynesian woodcut designs. I really enjoyed this week as I got to start printing my designs on paper. Starting with yellow and building our way to the last colour black.  But sadly I didn't get to finished my printing as there as been a lot going on and not enough time.  This week I learnt that printing has to be done really accurate and that you have to be very patient to let the paint dry.  Overall it has been a great week and I cannot wait till the next time when I get to finish of my work.

My Self Explaining Roads Project

Above is my movie about what we researched about in extension. It is a movie about what Makerita and I did to get answers from the year 3s and 4s. The questions we asked the little kids were about self explaining roads and streets . Self explaining roads are streets/roads around Glen Innes with Plants and Roundabouts in the middle of them.  I hope you enjoy my movie.

Information On Apirana Taylor

 Apirana Taylor attended Te Aute Collage and from there Massey University. He choose to not continue University when he rediscovered his passion for writing poetry. At the age of 21 he took a notebook with him writing poetry while he walked around New Zealand. 

Since then he had been working at some very labouring jobs such as Building sites, labouring and cleaning toilets. Apirana has frequently been hired as a teacher. Through choice he had worked at these occupations as he felt these were the kind of surroundings he'd find the kind of material he wished to write about.  He has won awards for his plays, short storys, poetry and acting. Which is pretty cool because he comes from a long line of directors, writers and actors. 

He earns a living mainly as a poet storyteller and actor. Magical Storytelling and wonderful poetry is what he is commonly known for. He has been regularly invited all of the country to present his work. He has also been invites twice to both Europe and India to read his Poetry. I cannot wait for this Thursday as we can talk to him and other people like him.

Maori Reflection

This week I was in the creative strand for reading we had to choose two different woodcut patterns and mix them together to make your own design

The things that I enjoyed was learning how to carve out my woodcut design. And seeing my finished product on wood and cut out. This Art design was really fun and I can't wait to do it again.

The things that I didn't really like was waiting for the other kids to finish printing their woodcut design on paper. Another thing that I didn't enjoy was my fingers getting cramped from holding the carving knife for to long.

What I found Interesting was learning different patterns and finding the Samoan name for them. Another thing I found interesting was trying to draw the different patterns and getting it right.

I learnt how to hold a carving knife properly and I also learnt different ways and patterns of the Polynesian design. I really liked carving and having a different experience.
