I used polyline to create my characters I had to do a poster for the great octopus battle. Here is mine.

I am Zana from the Summer Learning Journey team. It is wonderful to see your “The Great Octopus Battle – Kick Start” poster from Ohaeawai Primary School! You have used digital tools very effectively to tell this legendary story.
Your poster captures the energy of the battle perfectly. It is impressive that you used the polyline tool to create your characters. This takes a lot of steady hand-eye coordination to get the shapes just right! The bright orange and pink sea creature in the foreground really stands out against the blue ocean. Is that a special fish or perhaps a young Taniwha joining the fray? Your green octopus has a very cool, camouflage look. The way its tentacles are spread out makes it look like it is ready to defend its territory.
The story of the battle between the giant octopus and Dakuwaga (the shark god) is a very famous legend in the Pacific. In the real ocean, octopuses are masters of disguise! They can change not only their colour but also the texture of their skin to look like rocks, sand, or coral. This would be a very handy power to have during a giant battle!
If you were a character in this battle, would you choose to be the fast-swimming shark god or the sneaky, multi-tasking octopus?
My name is Ameya, I am a year 6 from Wigram primary school (WPS).
I loved your polyline of Dakuwanqa, it looked exactly like the same!
The ocean is perfect for your polyline drawings. Maybe next time you could add a bit more description and tell a summary of the great octopus battle. What type of DLO did you use?

Personally I would want to be a octopus,the bright orange and pink sea creature is a eel.

Yeah I didn’t really add much but I don’t know what DLO means
