Gif Making.

A few weeks ago Whaea Mel showed us a website called Giphy. Giphy is a website that lets you make Gifs like this one. I felt like Giphy was hard to use and it was. I had to use videos instead of photo's to make my gif so I went on another website.

A gif is a animated video like photo that can explain something or just is for fun. When I was making my first gif I needed help so I looked if there were any videos on how to make a gif. I looked on some blogs until I found a useful video to help me. It also helped because this person was in my class. The first thing I did was make a slide show for the gifs I would be making. Then I spelled the words hello as my first gif. After I made some more slides then deleted the words until it was the letter I wanted it to be. I did that until I finished the words 'hello'. I downloaded them with the file and download as feature. I then went on this website called Animated Gif Maker and started to put my downloaded images down to make the Gif. After that I ordered them the way I wanted it to be and made the Gif by clicking 'create animation.' here are a few of the Gifs I made in a few minutes.

Reflection:

Overall I think that making Gifs are fun. They do take time but once you are done you will feel proud of what you have done. I think with time I could be an expert on Gifs and teach everyone else in my class how to make gifs. If you want to learn how to make gifs then the links above will help you. Please comment what you think about this site and what you think about my gifs I made.

The Library

This week 7ld had a visit to the school's library. we were asked to choose a book that was chapter length and in our choice. I had chose a book called Earth Fall. Earth fall is made by the author Mark Walden. Earth fall was about a boy named Sam who had just survived a invasion by something called the VoidBorn, who were aliens. His father, Daniel Shaw or Andrew Riley used to work for the company to take over the world before he found out what was happening. Daniel implanted a device into Sam's brain to make sure that he couldn't become a Sleeper. A sleeper was a human being that the VoidBorn had put to sleep when they were taking over the world. I haven't quite finished the book but I have enjoyed it this far. The length of the book is about 346 pages long.  Here is the book title and the author

 
Overall I think this book is very interesting and I hope to read more of this books series. I recommend this for people who love action and chapter books. I hope you enjoy looking at this book and this post. Feel free to comment on what you think about this book.

Newslea Reading!

These past two weeks for reading 7LD have been reading off this site called Newslea. Newslea is a reading website that everyone can use for free. For Newslea the articles I read was ‘What makes a planet Habitable’ and ‘The History of Earth Day’. While reading we had to do a quiz, we had 4 questions to answer relating to the article. I got 3 questions for the Habitable planet and for the Earth Day I had 0 out of 4. There is also a write feature which you just write what the teacher had assigned to you. One of my friends had 4 out of 4, we were both surprised at her score. Here are some photos on Newslea and my score.

Overall I like Newslea a lot and I can read whenever I like. You should make an account if you like reading too.  I hoped you enjoy looking at Newslea and this post, please feel free to comment!

What makes a good school

Term one was a hit! Everyone is friendly to everyone and they all get along. Although I will miss term one term two is now here and ready for new adventures! I made a WordCloud that had key words about what makes Hornby High School a good school. We had a choice to work with a partner and I did, my partner was Genica and we made a good Word Cloud. I hope you enjoy this WordCloud I made with Genica.

W.A.L.T: Create a WordCloud of key words.The first thing we did was find the words we wanted to write and wrote them down in a google document. Then went on a website called Tagul. Tagul is a wordart website that is very easy to use.

Overall me and Genica had fun making this Word Cloud and really hope you do too! Please Comment and share.
