Film Making

WALT Create a short film.

Throughout the term we have been making short films that were under a minute. We have made four films 1.Tween age mutant ninga humans 2.Drunk driving 3. Ihumatao interview which is what this film is and the 4th film Rats. 

We had a guy named Harley come into our class and teach us how to make a good quality film how to work the tripods and showed us the different jobs you have to making a film. 

There are jobs like director which was Lyric camera operator which was me sound recorder which was Cameron clapper loader which was Rachna and then there are the actors which were Emma, Eva and Shaie. 

It was really nice of our teacher to let us make such fun films and I hope we do it for the whole term.

SOUL Summary

WALT: Summary's a text in our own words.

Maths class

In the past 2 weeks I have been working with

5 girls like always Emma, Eva, Manaia-Jae Shaie

and our teacher Miss Fleet. 

Miss Fleet teaches us after morning tea when the

rest of our class is doing ssr which stands for

sustainable silent reading.

I do really like reading but these past weeks have

been really helpful with our maths.

We have been learning about algebra, decimals,

fractions and other things like that.

We have been using things like money, fraction

papers, decimal papers and blank paper to help learn

this stuff.

I think this is a really good opportunity for me

and my friends to get better at maths and the

activities she sets us up with are actually pretty fun. 

Film making

Recount

Me and my friends Shaie Eva Emma and Manaia-Jae
were in a team to make a film in around 2 hours. We had to

come up with our own topics and it had to be no longer
than 1 minute.

My friends and I were thinking of the topics we thought of
kindness and ninjas so we did tweenage mutant ninja
humans. After we found our topic we raced outside and
on to the playground. I found it embarrassing so I filmed it.
So I was the director Emma, Eva and Manaia were ninjas and

Shaie was the bad guy that killed Manaia.

Part 1 Shaie pushing Manaia off the playground and we
got two different angles of that scene. Part 2 Emma and
Eva fighting Shaie. Part 3 Shaie got knocked out. Part
4 Shaie getting dragged around the school. Part 5 Putting

Shaie in the back room. When everyone had finished
getting there footage it was time to go inside and edit.
We were editing for about half an hour.

When everyone had finally finished there films it was
time to share with the class we were presenting ours
first everyone was laughing at the funny

scenes we put in and when it had finished the teacher
asked us to play it again cause the class really liked
it after everyone had shown there films the teacher
asked us to share ours with her so she could have a copy.

All the teams did a really good job with there film and
I really hope we can make another film one day because
my team and I have already come up with our next topic.

Literacy series

Walt: Think critically about a range of texts by summarising and evaluating new information  

 Reflection: Eva and I have been working on this slide for around 2 weeks now.

The first thing we worked on was the human brain. First we read some facts then we had to write our own summary's.

The second thing we worked on the solar system. We read about it first then we had to write a summary and Eva made a  solar system on tinker cad.

The third thing we did was astrology. I was not at school when the class did this so only Eva did it.

The fourth thing we read about is elements which are fire, water, air and earth. This was my favourite thing to work on as it was very interesting.

The fifth thing we talked about was our star signs which are Aries and Scorpio. It was really cool working on this and I learnt a lot about my star signs.

The sixth thing we talked about was good sleep for the brain which is a very important subject to learn about.

The last thing we talked about was dream catchers and that was really fun because afterwards we got to make one with a buddy which for me was Eva.

Eva and I worked on this slide really well together and we put a lot of effort into it.

Squaring whole numbers

WALT: Square whole numbers.  

Reflection:This week for maths we have been learning how to square whole numbers. 

Me and my friends Emma, Eva and Manaia were working beside each other and that was a bad idea because we finished our work at lunch time. 

I think I did my work pretty good but next time I am going to have to work faster to get my work done on time.

Kindness Series

WALT analyse kindness as one of our school values
This work was really fun to do and I am glad that I finished this work on time.
I also had some help from my friends that gave me ideas.
We all shared our work together and gave each other good feedback.
Kindness is a value that our school is focusing on this week and that everyone should think of.
