This week we are making our own comics using Pixton. First, we made our avatar and then we started to make our comics. My comic is about my friend coming cover. The characters are me, Faye ( my friend) and My mum. what I would do differently is making more characters. Here is mine but it is still not finished.

Early Encounters in Aotearoa

The first explorer to arrive in New Zealand was Abel Tasman in 1642.                          Abel Tasman

He named New Zealand Nouvea Zealandia.

The next explorer to come to NZ was Captain James Cook and he arrived in 1769.

The navigator that helped Captain Cook was Tupaia.

The Europeans brought pigs, potatoes, ship rats and disease.

Adverbs

Adverbs give the reader more detail about actions.

For example, Yesterday I walked to the dairy.
Yesterday I walked quickly to the small dairy.

I added quickly and small to the sentence to give the reader more information.

The bird sang a song.
The small white bird gracefully sang a song.

The singer was good.
The beautiful singer was really good.

Sugar

6 is the maximum teaspoons of sugar that we should have daily.
It is healthier to eat oranges rather than drinking orange juice because it contains less sugar.
The three things to avoid eating less sugar is to not have a sugary drink before eating a meal, drinking more water and to drink less of thing that has sugar.
3 of the bad things that could happen to our bodies if we have to much of sugar is being obese, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

The Martians Movie Review

The Martians

Prior Knowledge: Before watching, what do you predict this movie might be about just from the title and the movie poster??????  I think that it is about an astronaut stranded in Mars.

10 minutes: Pause. What have you noticed so far? Fill in as many of these categories as you can:  Characters: Mark Watney, Chris Beck, Beth Johanssen, Malissa Lewis/ Commander, Rick Martinez, Alex Vogel, Teddy Sanders and Mitch Henderson. Setting:  Mars and Earth What have you seen? Three details Mav Space craft     Storm   Mark Watney left behind

What important events have happened? Record big moments as you watch. First, He needed to get water for the plants and he used their poop for the soil.  Then, He needed a heater but he can turn it on. The people in NASA saw things being moved around. Next, They have to figure out how to communicate with mark.

Ending: what happened?  Hermes made a plan to catch Mark, then the commander grabs him and they made their way to the ship. A few years later there was a new mission.  Did any of your predictions come true? I was right about a person being stranded in mars.
