Film making

 Film making

Around four weeks ago everyone in my class got put into groups of five to six people. The people in my group were Chainberlin, Piripi, Paige and Justin. We learnt about how to structure a script, make a storyboard and all of the angles. My favorite part of that whole experience was drawing what was going to happen (even though we changed the script in the middle of filming). Even though we never got to finish our film I still learnt a valuable lesson, when you're doing a film don't forget to speak loudly.

Purakau

 Myths and legends

Kia ora bloggers! Around two weeks ago my whole class finished a T shaped literacy called Purakau/myths and legends. We learnt a lot about some myths from different cultures and then we got to compare some gods that are gods of the same thing but from different cultures. My favorite part of that experience was making Tane Mahuta out of shapes. It was a little bit hard at the end but I ended up finishing it. Here is my Tane:

my first song

Today I went onto chrome music lab to make a song. This is my first song and I hope you enjoy it.

bye bye!

a very wacky Wednesday

 Wacky Wednesday

Last week I became a rollerskating frog for around 7 hours, this is what happened. Nearly EVERYONE in my school dressed up in the most weird, confusing and overall wacky for one whole school day, one of my best friends dressed up like a bird that looked nothing like a bird, my other friend dressed like a magician, this was definitely a wacky day. My favourite part of that whole day was roller skating down a hill as a frog. If I had to learn one thing that day is that being a rollerskating frog is pretty awesome

PAL DAY #2

 PAL DAY #2

2 weeks ago in my beautiful school we (we means all the people that were at school that day) had a really really fun sports block (a block is like a 1 or 2 hours of school). There were lots of fun games and they were all sport related. My favourite part was scoring 3 goals in one of the games, I could only play 3 games though. I really can't remember anything in the first game so… the second game i played was quite boring,it went really quickly too, that game was just soccer but with a bouncier and bigger ball. The last game I played was really fun, we had small pool noodles and there was a small ball, we had to try to push the ball into one of the goals without using our hands or feet,

nearly everyone was kicking it though. All of this taught me one thing… if you do something like participating in an activity in Paihia School you will get rewarded

Amazing Earthquakes and volcanoes

 Amazing Earthquakes and volcanoes

Last week my class (Te Maunga) finished a literacy called earthquakes and volcanoes. It was an amazing experience even though I didn’t finish it. We all learnt about all kinds of volcanoes and I learnt that there  is only one kind of volcano New Zealand doesn't have, (not counting the extinct ones in New Zealand) the shield volcano. Even though  I already knew this we went over what to do if there is an earthquake: if you are inside find a table or something sturdy that you can fit under then use one of your hands to hold onto the leg of that thing and use the other hand to cover your head. If you are outside, just do the same thing as quickly as you can.

Shakeout day

 Shakeout day

Today in our lovely class, Te Maunga, we did a very important test and that test was part of some amazing survival tips that will teach us all of the best ways to survive in a natural disaster. This time we learnt about surviving in an earthquake and if you don’t know I can tell you what to do right now. When an earthquake occurs the best thing to do is to take cover under a sturdy table or chair, use one hand to cover your head and the other to hold onto the leg of whatever you're hiding under, if you are outside then just do the same thing.
