movie making

This week we have been making movies for our movie festival. We had to get into groups of 3,4 or 5 and decide on a movie based on the theme ‘Our Place’. Once we had decided on the focus we had to make a storyboard and also decide on which props and camera shot to use. We then got to choose if we did an animation, green screen movie, stop motion or outdoor movie using natural backdrops. Here is the movie my group made. 

 

We chose to do a Littering Animation.

The best part about my movie is the phone box calling for help.

Something I learnt was to work in a team.

Laha

This week we have been learning about Lahars, specifically The Tangiwai Disaster. We have read a book “Journey to Tangiwai” By David Hill. We learnt so much about the disaster. 

There were 285 onboard the train. 

151 people died and 134 survived. 

This horrific event happened on 24 December 1953.

 

Here is some writing I did about a Lahar and also a reading activity. We

had to choose to write a diary or create a fact file.
Here is my work.

Today for Play, Make, Create we made a bridge for Tangiwai. We had to see if we could make a stable bridge for the train to get across.

Play, Make, Create snow

Today for Play, Make, Create we made an acrostic poem about ‘SNOW’. We then had to make a paper creation to put on the window. We got to choose from Snow Sled, Snowman, Snowflake, Snow Angel or anything that started with snow.

I enjoyed making a snow man
I am feeling happy about going to the snow in 2 weeks time because I have never gone to the snow.
Here is my work.


Rainbow PMC

 

 

Today for Play, Make, Create we read a story “The Magic School Bus makes a Rainbow” 

We were allowed to create our own rainbow using the materials. 

I created…

 

Three rainbow facts I learnt are; 

 

1. That a rainbow comes from white light. 

2.You mostly see a rainbow after rain. 

3. That there is no pink in a rainbow.
