Task 3: Banksy

We are learning about street art. This is task 3 and in this task, we are meant to write a profile about Banksy. My favourite part was finding out how much Banksy earns a year.

TASK 2 Graffiti or Street art; Street art or crime

This incident happened in South London in England. 

I think that these men should have been arrested because they painted on buildings without permission. They have been awarded by the New York art gallery and some of the work they did the people who owned the buildings said they liked what they had done. I reckon Graffiti or street art should be chosen by the person who owns the premises.

Capture the flag video

 

The hardest part of the video is trying to get everyone to be doing what the script says. The easiest part was filming because all you had to do was have the  camera facing the right way. If you look at the Capture the flag post you will be able to read the rules.

Painting the town

For the rest of the year, we are focusing on art. We are looking at street art and seeing what is the artist is trying to tell us via the art.

Toi Moko

 

For the weekly quiz this week we had to write a DLO about Toi Moko. We found out that; lots of Maori artifacts are found all over the world and are not in New Zealand. We couldn't find an image since it would be ©️opyrighting.

Capture the flag

Capture the flag

Capture the flag is a fun game where you try to get the flag from the opposing team.

It may take up to thirty minutes on average to play and you need 12 or more people to play (six or more aside).

Playing Area

Equipment:

• Two flags.
• A playing area that is cut into two sides.

Rules:

1. You can only tag the people if they are on your side of the playing area.
2. If you get tagged you must do 10 push-ups or 50 star-jumps.
3. You must be two meters from the flag.
4. You can not move or touch your flag.

Hiding the flag:

1. You must hide your flag on your side.
2. There must always be part of the flag showing.
3. Once your flag is hidden you can not touch it.

Tips:

1. Some people in the team should fool the opposing team to think it is somewhere else like the opposite corner of the playing area (have two spots you are guarding).
2. When hiding split the group in two and let one of the split-up teams go and hide it while the other team fools them by making it look like there are two hiding spots.
3. Try to wear the other team out by making them do so many push-ups or star-jumps that they get tired and you get a free run to the flag and back to your side.

For the past week, we have been working on writing about a game. We had to include the rules, a brief statement of what it is like playing.

Coral Reefs Are Dying

Today we did some research on why coral reefs are dying. We had to make a DLO on the topic. Climate change is affecting "Coral Reefs because a warmer ocean causes thermal stress that contributes to coral bleaching and infectious diseases". This article also mentions "ocean acidification (a result of increased CO2); causes a reduction in pH levels which decreases coral growth and structural integrity" (the info for this caption is from oceanservice.noaa.gov > facts > coralreef-climate).
