School Is Cool.

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

My Explination About How Electricity Travels.

Question?

Have you ever wondered how electricity travels? Today we need electricity to survive. Electricity helps us live. Without electricity we would not be able to do many things like cook on the oven, search the Internet or watch television for the news.

As strange as it may seem the electricity starts at a power station. Inside a power station is a generator that is an energy source that is powered from wind, water or coal. From there it travels to the power lines on tall towers that carry the electricity to a substation where transformers reduce the voltage.

The distribution lines flow the electricity to buildings and homes, which creates electricity in your home right now. This is how we power our lights, microwaves, washing machines and our televisions. Distribution lines can be located overhead or underground.

This is my explination about how electricity travels.

Minus

What challenges did you have with this unit? 

• Waiting for our turn to film because there was only one flip-cam and a tripod.  
• We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
• We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
• Memorising our lines for our scripts. 

Interesting

What interested you about this unit?

• The editing process.  
• Adding sound effects and music to our movies.  
• Learning how professional film makers make movies and trying to develop their skills throughout the process of our film making experience.  
• Learning the movie elements helped us to make our movies interesting to watch! 
•  
• Solution
  How could we improve on this unit next time. 
•   More flip-cams and tripods.  
• Have the Imovie programme on our netbooks so that we could edit our movies instead of waiting for a group to finish.

THE NEW GIRL IN SCHOOL!

Thursday 8 March

WALT - write a narrative story based on our Artwork.

One summery day in Samoa there lived two gorgeous women. One was 12 and one was 14. Their names were Malia and Mele and they went to Intermediate school. They loved hanging out with each other. They practiced dancing with each other and if Malia went to get something out of her bag then Mele did as well.


A new girl came to school. Her name was Khorus. She had short curly hair and dark green eyes. She had beautiful eyelashes and a lovely style. Everyone wanted to be her friend but she only wanted two friends.  The next day,  Mele went out to play with Malia but Malia was already playing with Khorus, they had become new friends

Malia said, "Hey what’s wrong?’’ Mele said,’’ I feel like you're leaving me out because when I come to play with you you always seem to be playing with Khorus”. "Oh Im sorry for leaving you out.It’s just that she’s a new girl and i wanted her to feel comfortable at this school and I wanted to protect her from all the bully’s. I'm so sorry.",’’ Well that’s ok, I knew you were still my friend anyway". Khorus said , "Hey why don’t you come and play with us, we were just about to go to the park. Would you like to join us?’’ 
"Sure why not’,’ So they all came together and they became the best of friends and no one could break them apart.
