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.

Our Statistics Words

I worked with Cass to create this Wordle display of statistics vocabulary.   Can you think of any more?


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.
