Rat Island

WALT- To infer.

Today I was  doing my hypotheses about a book called Rat Island.

I enjoyed telling you my hypothesis about the book.

I found it challenging to describe my thoughts on how the book might go.

My learning object shows that I can think about a story before I read it.

This is what my was.

look at the cover design and illustration and read the title and blurb of the story. What appeals to you? What does not appeal to you? Do they make you want to read the story? Why or why not? Write your thoughts in the boxes below.

Blurb

I think that Tam is going to be loyal to his crew and take risk and face a captin by having a sword fight.

Cover

The cover shows a pirate. I think that the pirate comes to the island infested with mutant rats.

Title

I think that it's called rat island because there are just rats  and they are evil but they look after the island from people and animals.

I think that the story was set in 1936.

Pop Art

This art was inspired by Andy Warhol.

Today we use a tool called Luna pic.

I enjoyed finding new effects.

I found It challenging to put my 4 photos evenly on a google drawings.

My learning object shows that I can use Luna Art.

Next time I would use the flame effect  because it look like real flame.

The first thing we did is we took a photo then put it onto luna pic by clicking the green upload button. Then we got to pick the effects. When we found an effect we where happy with we went to file and save Image and click save as Png. After that we had to click upload it the top left corner and then it would take you to your original photo. When you click your original Photo you can start all over again.

The effects I used Beauty, Dreaming, Floating, Nouveau.

We had to pass the ball around but you couldn't pass to the person next to you.
First we started with one ball and then we added another ball then added one more.
To work out the pattern we passed it around until it seemed right and it ended up being like a star shape.
We had to do the chest pass with the netball then we had to do the bounce pass with the soccer ball and the rugby pass with the rugby ball.
To communicate we had to say the name of the person we were passing to and we had to have eye contact too.
We found it easy to remember the pattern.

Day at Movie World

As I jumped off the roller coaster my hair was all frizzed up. When I looked to the right I saw fast rides zooming past me. Then when I looked to the left I saw a shaved ice stand.I begged my mum to bye me and my brother one  and she said “only if you clean your room”. I said back to  her  “ I promise “ . When we  walked to the shaved ice stand we saw my favourite Villain Harley  Quinn .’Hmm I never thought that Harley Quinn would be here but we were in Movie World in Australia so I’m going to get a photo with her. Looking at my mum with my puppy eyes she asked me what I was planning and what did I want. I said to her “can I please pretty please  take a photo with Harley Quinn ? “  she looked at me with an annoyed face. She said to me “ fine but we gotta go quick so that we don't lose a spot in line “. Then when I heard that I grabbed her wrist violently we zoomed past people , bumping and accidentally shoving them we made it when we got the photo we went zooming back though the crowd and got our spot back . The shaved ice was so divine that I wanted a second one  I wish could go back to Australia again.
