ESOL term 1

In Esol term 1, it was good. We mostly did the novel reading and then do our log writing. 

Positive and Negative space

Today I have tried to paint Moonlight and lightning by using two colours which is black and white. The negative forms the moon and the light reflection from the moon. The positive support positive space to form the moon.

Mood Board Art

This year I'd still be focusing on painting and sketching because I enjoyed it last year and wanting to do more. I believe I could do it easily throughout the term and it is my passion to do a painting. My theme this year will be 'The Natural World' this idea was from the internet because I don't have anything in mind. I think this theme will be suitable for my board and I feel like painting a beautiful landscape.

I have decided what my artist model will be for Maurice de Vlaminck, Paul Gauguin, and Camille Pissarro to help me get started with my folio.

What i learned in Esol

 Today our ESOL teacher teaches us how to use the blog label and about 321 RIQ strategy of reflection which means:

3 Recalls- 3 things I remember about the lesson

2 Insights- 2 new things I learnt in this lesson 

1 Question- 1 question I have about something I didn't understand or still want to know more

What I remember is the ESOL teacher was talking about its better to do work in blog its easy way to pass the work and this strategy is a helpful way of doing reflection especially when you're doing a blog.

new things that I've learned from English is 321 RIQ strategy.

After this, I wonder what will be doing next?

Biography of Bic Runga

Today I'm gonna talk about the superstar NZ singer Bic Runga, she's a singer-songwriter pop artist in Newzealand. 

I have heard one song from her on the radio which I really love "Sway" it's one of my favorite songs on my list. Runga's genre is pop-rock and folk-rock, shes a soloist and a multi-instrumentalist pop artist. 

Runga was born on 13 January 1976,  her birthplace is in Christchurch, New Zealand. she has this event coming on a tour to Tauranga celebrating both the warning of weather and freedom perform. during the lockdown, some people baked bread, learned how to knit, and etc. Runga created a lockdown soundtrack. she started a side project "King Sweeties".

They moved to NZ Christchurch to live there. Runga grew up in Hornby, Christchurch surrounded by a musically inclined family and started recording with her sisters when she was four years old. she learned how to play an instrument like a drum at the age of eleven, guitar at fourteen, and she learned keyboard around this time.

Subject: Reduce Plastic Waste Scheme

Dear Stanley

Thank you for the time to answer the feedback about Reduce Plastic Waste Scheme. your answer has helped costumers and suppliers to reduce their use of plastic packaging. I helped to set the scheme up, here are the information that i wrote briefly:

1.) Stop putting plastic into the landfills. (like biodegradable/ plastic bags and bottle only break down in specific conditions.) We invite costumers to be part of the new scheme, we aim to change the way costumers buy everyday products.

2.) All plastic bags are now replaced with hessian bags.

3.) Most liquid products. 

4.) Fresh Vegetables - try re-usable waxed cotton bags to keep food fresh.

Thank you for your feedback and the ongoing support.

Subject: Fire Evacuation Procedure

Greetings Everyone,

After recent fire evacuation drill, Those people who did not leave the building wasn't sure where should stay. please take note of the following instruction.

1. When the fire alarm sounds, it's an emergency staff should leave the building and gathering at the main park. 

2. When the fire alarm sounded continuous it indicates a fire emergency. (some staff just stayed in the building, please do follow this instruction!)

3. They must not leave the car park until the Fire Safety Officers them clear.

4. They should clean or clear at all times the emergency exits, some staff member complaint that the emergency were blocked (by box, stocks, chairs, and a table).

I have been instructed by the manager to give the staff members a safe instruction about the Fire Evacuation Procedure because most staff did not do anything.
