Bruce Mclaren

This week I was learning about Bruce Mclaren who races
formula one racing cars. He races at the muriwai race track,
he won tones of championships. Bruce died in a car crash.

I enjoyed reading about him.

I found it challenging to find the right image to fit the car
on a track.

My digital learning object shows Bruce Mclaren driving over
the finish line to win a race.

Next time I would check my capital letters.

Lake Rotoiti

We are learning to describe. I found it easy to use adjectives because I had a lot of things to describe. I found it tricky to start a sentence with a verb because I have never done it before.

Turning up to the lake, I grabbed the fishing rods out of the back of the ute. Running over to the jetty, the lake was glassy and the air was chilly. I felt excited because I was always waiting for this moment. Pulling the silver reel, I flicked the little fish like lure over my head. Then I waited for the hits of the trout with the hope that it was a 10 pounder. Slowly reeling it back in I felt a sudden snag. It was a whole lot of weed. I was gutted. As I pulled the weed off, I cast it back out. 

      

      

Media

Today we are learning about media. We talked about the different types of media we use. I found it easy to find the images using the explore tool and finding ones with a transparent background. I found it tricky to finish on time because I couldn't get my photo right. When I tried to remove the background of my photo it wouldn't take everything out. It would leave pieces of other peoples chromebooks and my desk.
