Film Festival Review

What is the film about.?

 Room 1’s film is about a celebration on how Pt England is a digital school.

Character:

Room 1 students and the main character is Sateki (Delivery Man)

What is Happening in the film:

The film is about Pt England School, and what we do here. The film was about a delivery man who’s phone died, and so he was lost. He went to different places of Pt England, and when he found the school. He went into the classroom and gave the students there Chromebooks. The students were happy and the delivery man finally got his job done.

Cinematography:

Room one were using Go pro and the camera stick. All the angles were different. There was a high angle, low angle and a full angle.

Sound:

The music that was put into the movie was made by the teacher (Mr Wiseman).

The students of the Mr Wiseman were singing too, But the person who mostly sang it was Heather Schwenke. The song was made for the ambassadors.

Scene:

The scene was awesome because they put in different locations like going to the pool, beach, and the park of Pt England School, because it was part of Pt England.

Editing:

The editing was fascinating because when Sateki did a flip of the Swiss ball, you could tell that the teacher did a reverse.

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE MOVIE
ENJOY!!

Show Not Tell

I learned that if you show without telling it would bring more imaginations to your audiences minds.

Science Investigation - Fair Testing

I learned that well you are doing a fair test you can only change one thing.

The first one room 4 did was  Growing in the dark: Plants and light.

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	If plants can grow without sunlight.
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I think the plant won’t grow in non sunlight.
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	The seed of the plant.
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	The water.
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	The pot, bean seed and oil.

The second one was: What colour of bird feeders birds preferred.

Aim - what are you trying to find out?	What colour of bird feeders birds preferred.
Hypothesis - what do you think your results will be?	I think it would be a good fair test.
Independent Variable - what variable will you change?	The Colour
Dependent Variable - what variable will you measure?	The water
Controlled Variable - what variables will you keep the same?	The seeds

Halloween & Guy Fawkes Night

I learned that every celebration has a meaning.

The States Of Matter

This term team 5 are learning about "The states of matter". There are three states of matter, 1st is solid, 2nd is liquid and 3rd is gas. There are only 2 rules in this matter 1st rule is to be careful and 2nd rule is to never skip the power of matter. When I mean by never skip is that you can't go from solid to gas, or gas to solid. The only thing to get to those three states is to add HEAT. Here's a video to show what to do to get what. Water is always water, whether it’s in a mixture of things, you can’t change it’s behaviour. Also you can’t move from solid to gas, the steps of getting to gas is that you need to make solid into liquid then make Liquid into Gas and that's the way you could only get solid to gas.

Miss Lavakula

Mrs Lavakula was my first teacher I had at Pt England and she's been so amazing. 3 things I could describe Miss Lavakula is beautiful, funny and supportive. You have always been my side ever since I started, in year 3 2012 all the way to year 6. Now look at me i'm a year 7 because I was taught by the most friendly and best teacher ever. Miss Lavakula has been a big impact in my life she was the one who told me that i'm gonna be alright and that I was gonna make heaps of friends. To me I think Miss Lavakula will have a beautiful feature with her family. I give her all my love and faith when I'm out in collage, and I want her to one day look back at all her wonderful memory's. Love YOUR favourite students from 2012.

Facts about whanganui

I had my first long exhausting trip to whanganui with my sister, mum and dad, on the 17th of September. To be honest I learned a whole lot of facts well going to Whanganui. 1. Whanganui was one of the first cities to be founded in New Zealand. Whanganui, meaning "Big Bay" or "Big Harbour", comes from the great river that flows through it. 2. Whanganui is New Zealand's elders settlers town, it's just a couple of hours from Wellington, Mount Ruapehu and mount Tangriro, or a quick flight from Auckland. Here's a Short film my untie made well in Whanganui. I t was hard to do but got it down with. Please post about where you had your first trip and facts, thanks for reading.

Mark de Lacy aka (The Minstrel) and his wife Tanya de Lacy (Chrissy) came to Pt England school for a Hiwi the kiwi fishing project. On 25th of august Hiwi the kiwi came and performed the important of fishing like: Why wearing a life jackets is important, he taught us about the SOS, SOS stands for save our seagulls that's one important thing to save. One thing I want to do is yell this out: Family's out there that go fishing 5 important things that you need to take: 1 is a fishing ruler, 2 a wet towel to pick the fish up with and 3 take water mixed with salt. 3 things that your supposed to know about catching or fishing is that when you catch a fish you HAVE to hold it with a wet towel so that you don't hurt any of it's skin. When taking a fish ruler you have to measure the fish so that you don't take a really small one or even a huge one. if you take a bucket of water you have to put salt in it so that you don't kill the fish when you put it straight in. 1 thing I learnt from Hiwi the Kiwi is that when you go fishing you have to take every single fishing types. One thing about Mark is that he is a really good man that goes fishing and is smart to know what to take. His wife Tanya is a good cook and a good dancer. They are a happy and perfect married couple!
