Temper like an erupting volcano

Alyssa wrote a story board from the inquiry in Term 3 on Natural Disasters. The WALT was to create a short narrative on a natural disaster. Aiesha and Hope helped film. They wanted to create a video similar to Room 9's on 'What causes an earthquake. The girls filmed short frames and I had to work out how to make it into a movie. I think we all did really well!

It's cool to be kind.

Kumara Vine

Room 8 just did not know what to do for the Manaiakilani Film Festival 2018! 

Milan grows ideas with young leaders

Milan had another one of his great ideas. He said he would like to make a film about the Kumara Vine.

What’s that you ask? 

Kumara Vine is all about giving, student voice, student ideas, students of every year group, ideas for the school...to make TPS better than it is already.

Not so long ago Milan was thinking, (he does this a lot). He came up with this idea about leadership...about how from Year 0-6 the students don't get to voice their ideas until Year 7 or 8. Once he had this concept, (idea)  he went about thinking more on how it could work at TPS. While he was thinking (see, he does this all the time) a song was playing on the radio by Marvin Gaye 'I heard it through the Grapevine'. More thinking happened and Milan exclaimed, "I know, I will call it the Kumara Vine!" And so the tuber (seed) was planted.

We all sat in a circle with an oversized piece of paper and a vivid to record our memories on how the Kumara Vine came to be, (this is called a brainstorm). Next we sorted the ideas into a sequence, (sorting our brainstorm ideas) Then we started to discuss orientation, characters, problem, (it started to sound like a narrative?) We wondered, “Hey, are we writing or making a movie?”

Next minute Ms Bracey said “Auckland, Milan!”

Well, the two of us and Jarrod were extremely busy, sorting out the narrative, scenery, sound, cinematography and editing. If that wasn’t enough we had issues with everything...narrative had to be altered, scenery changed and we had to go on a school wide hunt for props that had been put in storage and forgotten where they had been put! It was not all easy going either with, actors acting up, reshooting for sound quality, reshooting for film angles and wobbles, we wasted an entire day on editing because we didn’t have the latest version of iMovie! There was so much to do!

On reflection...

We learnt a lot, we laughed and had fun, we had to cooperate and listen to each other, make so many changes, but it was worth it.
We hope you think it is worth watching too.

WALT: Financial Literacy in Primary

If you borrow something from someone then return it back straight away because if you don’t then you can upset that person.

If it is too hard for you to save then give you money to your parents to hold it for you.

Use your money wisely

Be prepared in case of an emergency

Keep your identity safe.

WALT: Financial literacy in Primary.
What did I find out?
I found out that if you save money you can use it when there is an emergency and when you borrow something from other people like your friends or your family you must return it back.
I learned that if you have a drivers license,passport and a wallet you must keep it in a safe place so no one can't steal it and pretend to be you.
