Cake vs Ice Cream - Activity 13

Hello bloggers,
Sadly the holidays are coming to an end, which means we have to say goodbye to the long relaxing days and going out with friends or family to explore or shop or eat, and we have to say hello to our teachers giving us new problems to solve. They have provided us with a series of challenges to complete of the holidays and one of them is asking us if we would rather never eat cake again or never eat ice cream again.  Here is my answer and my thoughts behind it.

Cake or Ice Cream?

While both of these desserts are treats that could put a smile of a young childs face any day, I think that I were to chose one to dispose of forever I would have to go with cake.  The reason why I would do this is because, though it is delicious to eat, there is no real purpose to it.  The only time we typically use it is for birthdays.  But, I find that in a resturaunts they often give you a free ice cream sundae instead of cake, further displaying that ice cream is better than cake.  Ice cream can be used in milkshakes, Floats, sundaes, and even ice cream cake.  It can also be preserved for longer and stays fresh.  Ice cream is also a useful item for soothing pain.  Often workers in the dental industry recommend eating ice cream to sooth the pain of putting in braces or after an oral surgery.  ice cream can also be used for healthy purposes such as fruit smoothies e.t.c. 
So, all things considered I think that Ice cream is better than cake and it would be an easy choice is I had to choose out of one to dispose of.

Marshland Doodles

Hello everyone,

In our hub we have been looking at media and technology, and we focused on google doodles since it is such a big part of media.  I mean, every minute 3.8 MILLLION people do a google search. That is roughly 63,000 people per second.  So we made our own google doodles using the word Marshland as the base.  here is mine.  Hope you like it! please reply in the comments below for feedback!

This drawing represents marshland school as it incorporates the four houses kahu kiwi - The blue Bear, Korowai - The yellow deer, Whitau - The red eagle, and Harakeke - The green snake.  The other letters also resemble maori art and the maori language is a big part of our school.  The letter d at the end also has the school logo, the flax.  What would you do to represent your school?  What do you think I could have done differently?  Please let me know in the comments below!

World Of Plastic - Wearable Arts

Our Inquiry this term was the power of plastic.  We looked at how it si destroying our world and how people need to be educated more about it.  So we took to this challenge and got into groups and created a dress made out of materials you would find in your rubbish bin. The outfit had to connect to a problem that we are facing.  Our group focused on what the plastic is doing to a sea creatures.  We made a speech and poem and an outfit and showcased it all in a catwalk.

We made our main whale outfit using aluminium cans, bottles and caps, plastic wrapping, paper, cardboard, and other materials to help make out outfit.  How did you like our outfit.  If you would like to see our speech and poem please reply in the comments!
