Filming

In Te Ngahere we have been filming. Before we got to film our movies we had to create a plan for our movie. We then had to write down our script and the camera angles. My movie is about three nerds that get smart to the teacher and get detention. They then go on a gaming console that is right in front of them. Which sucks them into the console where they find a strange man. He tells them that the nerds need to win the war and defeat the bullies. Then they defeat the bullies and go home. W.A.L.T use the different camera views. We created this movie to show on a movie day which we share with other schools. Thanks for reading my blog post. Bye.

Swim Safe

At Paihia School Tracy came to teach us about how to stay safe in a boat. There are 5 rules to stay safe on a boat. The five rules I learnt to stay safe on a boat are: Put your safety first, Were a life jacket, Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, Check the weather before you go, Make sure you have a waterproof phone or radio. I think that you should also have a flare gun and someone who knows how to use it. I hope what i’m sharing helps someone be safe on a boat.

Steam Challenge

In Te Ngahere on the first day back of term 4 our class did a steam challenge. Steam stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Our project was to create the biggest tower out of 2 sheets of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. Once we got our newspaper we had to plan out how we were going to make the tower. My group got our tape .Ricardo and Jahrell held the tower up and then I taped it together. We only had 20 minutes to build it and make it stand up. We finally got to the part where the teachers measured our tower. The teachers said the it had to stand up to be measured. The tallest tower was 1 meter and 18 cm. When we went up we tried to make it stand up but it wouldn't. The teacher said if you can make it stand up it will be 1 m and 15 cm. I thought that my group and I did really well. The thing that was hard for me and my group was trying to make it stand up. The easy thing was thinking of the idea and working together. I think that next time I could collaborate with my group members more. We were learning to create a freestanding object with limited equipment.
