Technology Wood

I have chosen to make a photo and a Mirror frame for myself. I'll use the other side to put a photo on it and the other side for my mirror, obviously I'll use my mirror to check myself and sometimes do my hair, but it will be useful. I will be mindful to  never give it to anyone even my family members because I want to use it all by myself. 

My Progress 
(1) I used a piece of wood a pencil and a ruler to make a full size working drawing
of my Mirror because it will show proof that It can be made. (2)I used a  ruler
and a pencil to copy the measurements from my drawing onto my piece of wood.
(3)I marked a Square line at 90 degrees across and the side using a tri-square
and a pencil. (4) I cut off the first piece of wood using a Benched hook and a
Backed Saw. (5) Then I marked out where my joint is supposed to go using a
Tri-square and a pencil. (6)I go to Sir and he marks the side joint with a marking
gauge. (7) I use the wood chisel to cut through the joint to the middle and from
the other side. (8) For my sides I used a ruler to mark the middle and used a
circle ruler to make a circle at the top. (9) I measured 20 cm up from the bottom.
(10) Then I drew a line form the 20 cm that I measured to the circle at the top.
(11) I took it  to Sir and cuts out to make the sides of my mirror.(13) Sir puts two
holes at the top of my sides. (14) I put it in the Joints. (15) I used the clue to stick
it tight.(16) I leave it in the vice for half an hour to dry. (17) I got another piece of
wood and drawed a line in the middle to the side. (18) I took it to sir and he checks
it, then he puts in two holes in the side to were the center is. (19) He cuts two
piece of sticks to hold my mirror. (20)He puts a piece of thin wood between the
side of my mirror and the wood for my mirror. (21) He used a hammer to push in
the two sticks through the side of the wood for my mirror. (22) He did was to cut
out some of the stick part hanging out. (23)He brought some class and measure
it with a piece of paper what was needed to be cut off. (24) He brought a like a
tool and he kinda like sliced the mirror and he then he broke it into halves. (24) 
Next He grind the edges because it can be sharp. (25) He bought a special glue
and mixed it on a piece of thin wood then he put it my piece of mirror and stuck it
on. (25) Last thing I have yo do is to wait for the glue to set.


EVALUATION
I think I did well on making my mirror because I didn’t make a mistake while making it. I also did well with the tools.


My ideas well… I will say brilliant but I didn't get to make all of them. I did get to
make something that I loved. My working drawing came out good even though
I’m not that good at drawing. Sir even said that I did a good job when he marked
my work. On the sawing part made me nervous because I thought that I would ruin
it but as I kept cutting I felt confident with myself. The chisel part? Well I had fun
because it was really cool. When I finished making it, it became a masterpiece
well even though it’s just a mirror to me it’s a masterpiece. 


In my opinion my mirror looks fantastic it looks like it was made by a professional.
If I get a chance to make it again I would change the mirror shape into a heart or
a circle. What I want to say about my mirror is that I will look after it forever.

Jackie Chan's native name is Chan Kong-Sang. He was born in Hong Kong on the 7 April 1954 he is now 65 years old with a wife and two kids, Joan Lin(wife), Jaycee Chan(Son), Etta Ng Chok Lam(daughter).  His parents are Charles Chan(Father) and Lee-Lee Chan(Mother). 


 He is a real martial artist and he would be one of my favorite martial artists in movies.  As you all know he is an actor, producer, stuntman and also a singer. He is like the most popular person in this universe.  In 2016 he was the second-highest paid actor in the world.


He has been acting since the 1960s and had been in over 150 films. Jackie Chan can speak 7 languages which are pretty cool like seriously I want to speak seven languages.  He has broken many bones in movies "Every Movie I make, I have to risk my own life to make it better" he once said.  


Yeah, that's pretty much it these are the only information and some facts that I found out about Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan is of the most Successful man in the world, he will always be my favourite martial artist.

Animal's in Japan

How many common animals in Japan? Well, they say that there are 6 common animals in Japan ( I just searched it up, to be honest) anyway Japan have 6 Common animal's and they are Shiba Inu, Hokkaido dog, Akita, Japanese Bobtail, Japanese Bantam, and Japanese Chin. My 3 favourite ones out of all of them would be Akita, Japanese Chin, and Shiba Inu. 

 Akita is one of my favourite animals in Japan even though I haven't met or seen one in person but they are still my favourite, why? it's because they look cuddly and one thing for sure is that they are so cute. They eat rice, fish, and sea plants and dog food. Large Akita's can actually cause greater Injuries on animals or "people".  Akita's were bred to be guard dogs and hunting dogs in Japan and were used to hunt down bear, boar, and deer.

My second favourite animal would be the Shiba Inu, they are very popular because of their looks and also because of their Body Size. Shiba Inu puppies have the most adorable expressions highlighted by their perky ears and chubby cheeks. They are the cutest little fatties ever. Shiba Inus likes to eat a lot's of lean beef, lean poultry, small fish, green vegetables, sweet potatoes, rice, and some fruits.

Japanese Chin is my last favourite Animal in Japan, why is that? Well, its because they are one of the funniest dogs, Breed in Japan, and well you know, I would want a dog that can make me laugh when I'm bored.  They are dogs who get along with everyone. They're friendly toward other dogs and cats and is a playful companion for older children.  Foods that they love to eat would be the  Grain Free Anchovy, Salmon, dry dog food, farming Natural & Delicious Chicken.

There you go, some fun facts about my favourite Japanese animals in Japan and what I like about this is that I get to learn more and more about Common animals from different countries. 

Task Description: This week, our writing activity is to write about Stuff/things, places, people or animals from another country. I have chosen to write about animals in Japan.

Friendship Factors ( Attitude Talk)

Hi there, yesterday Toni and Jannah came to our block to talk with us about
‘Friendship Factors’
There were 6 tips that they gave us to help us with our friendship relationships,
followed  by 2 activities.
The 6 tips are
*Be yourself
*be friendly
*be responsible
*learn how to listen
*learn how to say their names properly
* and be positive
My Favourite two out of all of them is Be yourself and be positive.  

Be yourself, what I've learned from Toni and Jannah is that being someone else
is not going to help you get any good friends. Being yourself is very important,
find friends that can accept you for who you are instead of because you are being
someone else.  I really believe that if you be yourself you will get better friends.


Be positive  is my favourite thing to do, sometimes I forget to be positive, I get a
little to carried away and cross the line. Fortunately my friends always reminds
me. Being positive to your friends will keep your friendship forever. Being negative
will only bring bad vibes and feelings to your friendship.


There you have it, some tips to help you with your friendships and my two
favourite one’s. I’ll guarantee you that if you follow these tips, you will be able to
make heaps of good and loving friends.
