Flick It On

Our class has been learning to green screen for a project called Flick It On. First we made a story about heroes. Then we turned it into a storyboard. After that we took pictures and imported them into iMovie. Finally we edited it and made it into a movie. We learnt how to be camera people and animators. Animators move the models a little bit and the camera people took the pictures. We had to take hundreds of pictures!

The Mousehole Cat

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

We have been reading the 'Mousehole Cat' by Antonia Barber. We have been inspired to create our own   Mousehole Cat art.

1. First we drew the cats step by step
2. Then we put wax on the chin, tale, tummy and the chest of the cat
3. Next we dyed the cat black with indian ink
4. After that we made swirls with wax on the backgroud
5. Finally we dyed the background blue

Aquarium Trip

This Term Room 9 and 11 went to the Aquarium.  We learnt about fishing for the future, just like the Minstrel did.

First of all, we went to the thinking room and we learnt about orange roughy.  We learnt that orange roughies are poisonous.

Then we went to the big tank with two eels.  We touched the eels, they felt so slimy!  Next, we went to the touch pools where there were baby sharks and one big shark.   We also saw eagle rays that are small types of stingrays.    Our t-shirts got wet! Finally, we went to the other touch pools, there were kinas and elephant slugs.  We touched the sea creatures and fish lots of times.

It was great fun touching the eels,  sting rays and the creatures in the touch pools.  thank you Richard for letting us touch the sea creature in your aquarium.

Reporter

Today we have been exploring group roles when working in a team.  We worked in groups to identify what each role means.  We looked at the role of Reporter.  We think that a Reporter would:

• Share their group ideas with the rest of the class

A Reporter would:

• Introduce your goup
• Use a lion voice not a mouse voice - a clear voice
• Speak at a steady pace - not too fast and not too slow
