The Holocaust

Hello, This term in literacy we have been creating a site about the Holocaust, and to help us we are reading a book called Once its about a boy called Felix in an orphanage looking for his parents but he didn't know that his parents weren't coming back for him as they were most likely in a concentration camp or they are dead and he always made up stories using his imagination trying to make him happy.

 In Toroa we have been doing this type of art called Hundertwasser Art and we had to make our own one.

Some of the techniques that I used when I was colouring in with pastels is I tried to keep the tip of the pastel flat when I was colouring so then you wouldn't see so many lines of where I coloured and it would be smooth.

The colours I used in my art were mostly analogous colours which means they are beside each other on the colour wheel for example reds, yellows and oranges because they are similar colours, But some were complimentary colours which is where they are across from each other on the colour wheel for example red and green or yellow and purple because they are completely different colours. 

Some features that people should look out for in my art would be a hidden face, floating eyes, lollipop trees and onion domes. Here is an example of my art:

Whats the weather in maori

 In torua we have been learning about how to say hows the weather in maori. So we had to make an animation on scratch. the question in maori is" kei te pehea te ahua o te rangi" and to answer that question there is multiple different ways to answer here are some example

paki-fine

wera-hot

makariri-cold

hukapapa-snowy

 Yanny or Laurel?

This audio has everyone wondering how you would hear the opposite thing to what they hear. I personally hear Yanny a lot more than Laurel so that means that I'm used to hearing high frequencies more than low frequencies. But The big question is: Do you hear Yanny or Laurel? Or do you hear both? And how does it work?

 The secret is frequency, The acoustic information that makes us hear yanny is higher frequency than the acoustic information that makes us hear Laurel. You may start to hear the opposite of what you heard before if you were to change your headset or the speaker the sound comes out from, But some of it is the mechanics of your ears and what you're expecting to hear.

It’s also your brain, Not only is it filling in what it thinks the sound should be. What you hear is shaped in some way by your previous experiences. This is most obvious with music. So let's say you're in a noisy place, Your brain is filling in what it doesn’t quite hear,

You start to lose your hearing for high frequency ranges when you get a little older, So if you were to play the audio to your parents they will properly hear laurel more than yanny because yanny has a higher frequency than laurel and they start to lose their hearing for high frequencies. So if you were to remove all the low frequencies you will hear yanny but if you remove all the high frequencies you will hear laurel.
