All About Zanobia By Megan

"Hahaha" says Zanobia as she laughs at one of my driest jokes in the world and you guested it she is a very funny person. She loves listening to jokes even the worst in the world. Zanobia is a very wacky weird and wonderful young woman. Zanobia is extremely smart and notices every little detail about every little person. For example right now she is sitting next to me writing about me and she notices that I tip my head on a 75 degree angle when I am writing. Zen is very energetic and runs around with me all the time no matter what I am doing. She loves to play with her friend Angle. Zanobia will give you any thing you want if you ask for it and she can make it happen. Zanobia really likes playing netball and it is her favorite sport.

Zanobia's hair feels like wool after a cats played with it but it looks like brand new black silk. Only a little bit of her hair actually does feel like cotton and smooth silk. She has straight black hair and one time wanted to see what it was like to have long hair so she bought some fake hair for the $2 shop. Her top lip is wrinkly when it dries up. Her top lip is tinny and her bottom lip is a medium size. Her top lip is as small as a pin. Her nose is a extremely weird shape. She loves to paint her nails bright colours that blend. Almost all the time you see her with her nails painted. When you see her without her nails painted it is as rare as seeing a person trying to cut metal with scissors. Zanobia has dark skin skin like the wood on a tree. Zanobia has orange shaded ears that look extremely funny! Zanobia always wears headbands because her fringe is growing to long and has to wait for a hair cut. Zanobia always laughs at my dry jokes and when she does that she gets big creases around her mouth. For example one time I told her that I like her as a friend and then she laughed hard out (I was thinking I might change my mind!) and she had the biggest creases around her mouth. Zanobia has teeth that are as white as new printed paper when the sun is shining on it. She has extremely dark eyes, as dark as the night. They are nearly black but are still brown. Zanobia has lots of different earrings and she changes her earrings every week to match her outfit! She has a whole bunch of pouches with pouches with earrings flooding out of them. Zanobia is as close to her earrings as a chicken to it's eggs.

Zanobia is on her desk reading her favorite book, diary of a wimpy kid. (I guess she wants to be close to her own kind!) I am probably going to have to say sorry to Zanobia for saying the previous sentence but I get sorrys from her all the time for doing nothing! For example she says a sentence and I would usually say hoha!? So she says sorry it was meant to be like this... bla bla bla. Zanobia is nice and always swaps gross food for yummy food after school like one time she swapped a mandorin for a tim tam! Zanonia gets $5 a week for pocket money but has to jobs to get them! That's amazing I only get a big fat $0.00 and I still do jobs! Zanobia is following her dream to be a marine biologist but when she was dreaming I don't think she was floating on a cloud I think she was floating on water. Zanobia laughs at everything I say, I think her laughter box needs mending! She tells me everything she thinks about me she keeps nothing a secret. I can always rely on her to tell the truth but even if it isn't the positive truth she will make it sound like the positive one. That makes her sound even more kind and here is something that will do the same thing. Zanobia doesn't care what anybody else says about unless it is positive or it is giving her some great feed back she didn't even care about the last insult I gave her!
Those are all the reasons why everybody should want to be her friend-and they do.

Creating Toys

Over Term 2 Tumeke 12 learnt all about the Design Process through exploring toys. We had been finding out lots about Haiti and what it was like there for kids.
So we used that as the 'problem' for our design process and we made toys for the kids of Haiti that they could make easily from bits of rubbish and things around the house.

In this video you can see some of the things we used to make our toys with. We collected all these things from our house and saved them from the rubbish bins! After this you will then see our finished toys. They are pretty amazing!

Megan's Fascinating Recount

I was on the computer typing away. "How did this happen you ask?" Well a couple of minutes ago Mr.T told us to do three Haiku poems in our books and then publish them on the computer. So there I was rushing to be the first one finished. I liked having Mr. T as a teacher, he always gave us cool activities to do. Well what we had to do was type up the words of our haiku poems and then put fascinating coloured boxes behind them. Mr. T also taught us a couple of new tricks on the computer like, how to make a background, how to export something and how to do some more keyboard short cuts. My coloured background had to be a light shade and so did everybody else's. The wonderful things we had to have on our page was Haiku poems in a coloured box. Next to that we had to have a Japanese picture from kid pix. Under that we had to have three interesting Haiku poems and an illustration to go with each one also from kid pix... "I mean, how many things do we have to have for kid pix!?" The very last final touch has to be brilliant so it was our name in a coloured box or in my case a star. My star was yellow with blue writing. The final product looked great and so did everybody else's!

The Wonderful End
