Tech Group Videos: Now Showing!

In the afternoons some of our students have been learning how to do a range of different things to eventually put together a movie.

They learnt how to:

Operate a camera and take clear photos
Find music on YouTube
Write and perform their own original song
Write a script to go along with their movie and
Combine everything together in iMovie (either on an iPad or computer)

Aren't they amazing learners and collaborators!!

Sharing our writing

Thanks to our 'make our lunch' helpers!

Making Our Lunch!

Last week we spent our writing time writing invitations.  We invited our parents to come in and help us to make our own lunch.

We planned our menu and got into groups to decide on the special touches we wanted.

Yesterday was the big day when we made our delicious food!

Poetry time!

During poetry time we were set the challenge of collaborating to find the rhyming words in the poem, About Feet.  Can you hear them in our recording?

Some of us also really thought about our expression to make the recording more interesting for you!

Running at fitness time

 Hello Parents, We are learning to be determined and run at fitness time. We need to practice over the holidays and weekends too, so we can get ready for cross country next term.

We remember to wear sensible school shoes so we can run fast.

At the end of Green Day

At the end of our Green Day we sung this song to the rest of the school. Can you sing it at home?

We also did a reflection for assembly.  We decided on what we wanted to say and had a little practice...

Here's Henry, Riley, Charlie S. and Dylan talking in assembly about our green day:

Break Through today with Jahvan and Dylan

We decided to work together.  We put the wheels on so he could roll and we got arms for him so he could grab stuff.  He likes to grab food!  We decided to make a sword because it likes chopping down trees and to chop food so he can eat.  We put the eyes on so he can see what he chops.  We made a robot and they have eyes.  He's got a jetpack on his back and he's got a radio by his jet pack.

We chose to work together because we can't do it on our own.  We like collaborating and wanted to show our parents this blog photo!  We didn't have much time so we made it quickly.
