Athletics day!

Hey Bloggers! I'm back. A few weeks ago was our Athletics day held at our school on the 2nd of November. There were a range of different sports and rotations (that the teachers ran)  in our age groups. There were 12 events and 6 actual rotations because some groups didn't have time to do both activities within the rotation. I was in the 10/11 year old girls. Some sports that were in the rotation were; long jump, high jump, 400 metre run, sprints, shotput and at the end of the day we had relays with the whole school. We had to be dressed up in house colours (Tui = Yellow Pukeko = Green Kea = Red Ruru = Blue) and it had to be appropriate for running.
 Here are some photos of the day.

How were the photos? I think that Athletics day is a great way to have fun and learn. At each rotation, every teach marked us on behaviour/attitude, sportsmanship and how we moved between the stations. Whoever got the highest marks in age categories got ice blocks. Also,  does your school do an Athletics day? Feel free to leave positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

Pasifika Peter Pan Production - Thinking Hats!

Aloha Bloggers, Shabeera here. Last week we had our School Production named Pasifika Peter Pan. Pasifika Peter Pan is like Peter Pan but with a Pasifika Twist. The twist was going to different places in the Pacific in Neverland. This was held at Waikowhai Intermediate's Hall. Every single person in the school was part of the Production, but the years 5/6 were playing as the main characters. (The other classes were in an item). There were 2 evening performances on Wednesday and Thursday. There was also Matinee performance on Friday. After the Production was finished, we made a copy of a slideshow that had all the thinking hats and we had to fill them in and work on it.

Here is my Thinking hats work and some of the photos of our production.

How did you think of the photos and my slideshow? My favourite part of our Production was all the Pirate scenes, the Mermaid dance and the end dance that we always do. What would you think would be your favourite part of our Production? I think next time people should turn up to the rehearsals and . Feel free to leave a positive, helpful and thoughtful comment.

Ako Hiko Film Festival 2018 - Term 3

Hey Bloggers! Last Term in Term 3 was our Film Festival for the Ako Hiko Cluster. Everyone in the Senior Syndicate had to have contributed some way in the Movie which had to be exactly 3 minutes. The Teachers in the seniors had to pick one movie from each class to be picked for the film festival. Our movies had to be around the word 'Change'. Before creating the movie and story line, we had to learn to film all the different shots. The shots were up, down, close up and long. Also we filmed short movies to get used to filming. One of the short movies for our warm up were filming a knock knock joke. After all the practising and warm ups, we finally could get into groups of 4, plan the storyboard and film.

Here is our Movie

 Hope you enjoyed our Movie.

In my opinion, I think that our movie wasn't the best. When we were filming, it was all over the place and we had last minute to finish a few more clips that were messy. The movie wasn't edited and filmed properly too. I think we could had a different story line and defiantly have different people in our group. Feel free to leave a positive, helpful and thought comment.
