Today at the radio station

Today I went to the radio station with Kate to do some recording with Darren Ludlow.

When we were there Darren gave us a tour of his radio station. Darren has two recording rooms, one is live recording and the other is not live recording so if you make a mistake it doesn't matter you can just record it again. When we were there we recorded an ad for Darren to play on the radio station and when we listened to what we recorded it sounded good to us here are some pictures of us with Darren and his work mates.

Passion Project

For my amazing passion project this term, Kate and I are learning about the radio station. We will have been in touch with Darren Ludlow who kindly allowed us to come to the radio station for a tour and to tell us more about how it runs.

You may be thinking how can this help Christchurch or Japan? Well here is how it works. The students at Enrich will be fundraising and asking businesses for sponsorship as well as planning a range of events. With this money some students at Enrich plan to make up gift-boxes and other helpful things for the people of Christchurch or Japan. We thought that the businesses would like to be acknowledged. We then thought that if we learn about the radio station and how it works we could mention their buisness and what they have contributed on the radio. I know I will get a lot of learning out of this.

Passion Project

For my Passion project I am going to raise money to help Christchurch because of all of the earthquakes. I will not donate the money to them, I will use it to help one kid in need and I am going to get them down here in Invercargill and they will stay with my family for a week. We were going to do what we wanted to do for our passion projects which my idea was to learn about the share-market but Alana and Darryn changed their minds. We needed to do something that would benefit other people. I am really excited about what I am going to do. But these are only my ideas for now because I may change my mind.

Art Math Tessellations

This is my art math tessellation. A tessellation is a picture with no gaps or overlaps. This picture that I drew is fish eating each other. I found this work shop well worth going to and I would definitely do it again. If you would like to have a go at this just get gridded paper and then draw your pattern lines around or inside the grids. See what shape it looks like and then make it look like that object.

If you would like to find out more about tessellations here is a link to a tessellation website.

How to Safe Search Things on the Internet

These are some ways to be safe on the Internet. Go into google and click advanced search, type in what you are looking for and also type in the things that you don't want. It will come up with some safe options. If you are in 'you tube' a safe way to stop all the annoying ads around the video is to use 'quiet tube'. You may be puzzling over how to use it, just type in 'quiet tube' into google and then drag it up to your toolbar. Another way for kids is after you type in some thing in google put 'k-12' in and it will find more child appropriate options and more safe options for you on the Internet.

(P4C)

There is a work shop called p4c, you may be wondering what p4c means? It means philosophy for children. Darryn asked us a question, would you rather have power or pleasure? Power is all the money in the world and telling others what to do and probably not having and friends, or would you like to have pleasure, the only thing that matters in the world is that you are happy no matter if you made others miserable. I can't decide what to pick, so if you have a idea please leave a comment and tell me you opinion.

Multiple Intelligences survey
