Iron Man

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!

WE LOVE SCIENCE!

Ivy was really keen to do MORE SCIENCE experiments.  We wanted to link it to our inquiry 'Against All Odds'.  So we watched a leopard seal swimming to give us some ideas.  We watched the leopard seal swim and glide through the water.  It floated and dived under the water.



Here are some our questions we would like to test...

Scatter Ball

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Our class often plays scatter ball against Room 11!  You have to throw 3 balls as hard as you can high and far.  If someone catches the ball you are out. Once you have thrown the ball run around the 4 cones heaps of time.  Each time you run round the cones you get points for your team.  It is an amazing game!

Comprehension Skills

We have been practicing our comprehension skills in reading lessons. One of the skills we practiced was called visualising. Our teacher read us a description of an animal. We had to listen and draw the picture that was created in our heads. Watch our movie to find out what creature we had to visualise.

Collector

We looked at the role of Collector.  We think that a Collector would:

• Collect all the equipment.
• Get equipment ready.
• Encourage everyone to help put equipement away

A Collector would say:

• "What do we need?"
• "Do we have everything?"
• "Come on team, help me pack away!"
