Movie Making

Hello bloggers. Last term (term 3) the senior syndicate have been making movies for the Ako Hiko Film Festival, the group who gets the best movie will get their movie to the Ako Hiko Film Festival. For our warm up before we got into filming the real movies, we had to split into groups of 3, which is with my friends Qais and Faris, and our teachers said that the idea of the warm up movie is that we have to present a knock knock joke in some way. The teachers also said we need to have a storyboard to plan what are we going to film, so we had to go on our Chromebooks and search up knock knock jokes we could use in our movie. In my groups knock knock joke is about the police, after we finished the storyboard, our teachers gave us the Ipads and we got into the filming, I haven't got the movie to show to you because I didn't upload it to my drive. When got back to our classes we learnt the different types of shots we should use for our movies, there were shots like medium shots, wide shots, close ups and a lot more, after that we had go to groups of 4 which is with my friends Qais, Hilal and Peter, and we had to create the script for the movie for the film festival. Our teachers told us our movie had to represent 'change', after we finished our script we showed it our teacher, and our teacher printed the script, after that she gave us an Ipad and we can start filming our movie. My groups movie was about a person who told 2 people that they want to play a match of Football, and you can watch my groups movie down below also there's the link for the film making script.
       

Novel Review 2018

Hello blogging world. This term (the last term of the year) my teacher told us we are doing another novel review similar like the one we did last year. The novel review is like an activity where you have to read a book and you have to finish the book by the end of the term. Everyday we have to read our book for 20 minutes and after that we have to work on a google slide created by the teachers. In the slide it has work relating to the book, like our favorite moment from the book, your opinion of the book and other things like that. Our teacher sent us to our reading groups and my reading group teacher told us that unlike last year the teachers are letting us choose our own books. The books we got to choose from were Caesar the War Dog, Private Peaceful, The Peco Incident, Bloodtree Chronicles and Red Rocks. The book I chose was Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo, I haven't read the whole book but looking at the description at the back, it says it's about a boy who got sent of to war. I haven't completed all the things in the slideshow, but I have completed most of it.

This is Me Waikowhai Intermediate School thinking hats

Hello bloggers. This week (which is the last week of the term) the whole senior syndicate went to Waikowhai Intermediate School to watch their production 'This is Me'. When we got there we saw a lot of different schools like May Road, Hay Park and a lot more. Since our school was the first ones there we got the front row seats. Before the show started everyone was so loud and when the show started everyone went quiet, we saw a lot of students who previously were at our school and it was really cool to see them. When we got back to the school our teacher told us to do a reflection for the show using deBono thinking hats, and when we are finished we should blog it. If you want to find out more about Waikowhai Intermediate here is a link to their site.                      

Literacy Tumble (Week 4)

Hello Bloggers. This week we had to do another literacy tumble like the one we did for the past 3 weeks. If you haven't seen my last 3 blog posts read it now because I don't want to spend the next 10 minutes describing what the literacy tumble is. So anyways right now I am in the last activity in the must do's, well I haven't finished the 3rd and 4th activity in the must do's because I have to find out tomorrow to see what the activity is. Like all literacy tumbles all the activities get recorded in a slideshow with slight similarities than the last slideshows.

Literacy Tumble (Week 3)

Kia Ora blogging world. This week we had to do another literacy tumble similar from the one in the past 2 weeks. In case you didn't read the last 2 blog posts that I did earlier, I am going to explained what the literacy tumble is. So the literacy tumble is basically a group of activities which is mixed by reading and writing. The activities are split into 3 categories the must do's, should do's and could do's, and you have to finish all the must do's in the end of the week, plus if you finish all the must do's you have to do the activities in the should do's and could do's. The activities in the must do' is a blog comment, a reading task and a writing task. Right now I am in the first activity in the should do's which is a blog post, the second activity in the should do's is creative writing, then you have to do your cybersmart work and the final activity in the should do's is a summer learning journey activity. The first activity in the could do's is independent reading, the second activity is a poem activity and the final activity for the could do's is a note taking activity. Once you finish a activity it gets recorded to a slideshow that the teachers made.

Literacy Tumble (Week 1)

Hi blogging world. This week we did this activity called the Literacy Tumble which is this activity where you have to do reading and writing activities that you have to do for the following weeks of the term. There are 3 categories that you have to do, one of the categories is called the must do's and you have to finish all the activities in the must do's by the end of the week. Another one of the categories are called the should do's, which is extra work if you finish the must do's and one of the activities in the should do's is making a blog post which I am doing right now. The last one of those categories are called the could do's and if you finish all the activities in the must do's and the should do's you have to do the activities in the could do's. Once you finish a activity in any of the categories you record your work in slideshow which the teachers made. I have finished all of my activities in the must do's all in one day and now I am in the first activity in the should do's.
