Ilaisaane 2010

The Year 6's have worked very hard on their drama this term.  This group adapted the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.   Not bad seeings as all the equipment used was brand new and the first time any of us had ever used i-movie :-)

Detective John

Once upon a time there was a detective named John. John’s mission was to find his missing binoculars’ that was at the back pocket of his pants. So he checked in the basement, where the fire place is. And thought to him where did he put my binoculars?’ He searched high and low and around the fire place. Finally he found it.

Ilaisaane's Term 3 Reflection

The Dance of Anger

In Media Studies a couple of weeks ago we choreographed another fantastic music routine. We used an old song called 'We're Not Gonna Take It' which is very heavy metal......great for head banging!!
We had to show the emotion of 'Anger' and 'Frustration'. We feel that this worked out better than our last attempt with the 'Muse' song. This was also our first opportunity to have a play with our brand new video camera and tripod :-).

Instructions to Wash Your Hands

EQUIPMENT:
Tap , Soap, Water, Towel

METHOD:
Step 1) Turn on the tap, by turning it anti clockwise.
Step 2) Push soap dispenser down on your hand, so the soap can flow
out.
Step 3) Rinse your hands under the water so that when your using the
water the soap can spread out.
Step 4) Grab a towel to dry your hands by rubbing your towel together
with your hands.

CONCLUSION:
Washing hands is good for you because it kills germs, stops you from being dirty, makes you healthy, spreading germs and stops your hands from stinking. Washing your hands is always good because it stops you from getting the flu and swine flu.

Warning:
1) Do not give children under 4 year old soap, because they might think they can eat it.

2) Do not do it by your self the first time, do it with an adult, eldest brother or sister.

3) Do not pick up rubbish and then eat, remember to always wash your hands after you pick up rubbish.

4) Wash your hands before you eat your dinner.

A Bit Of Eclipse

During our dance time today we put together a dance routine to Miss G's favourite 'Muse' song. We worked together as a whole class and in groups. It was a lot of fun but a bit tough with the time constraints. Not polished at all but here is what we got done in an 45 minutes.

First Day of 2010

On Tuesday the 2nd of February. It was a lovely sunny hot day, it happened at St Pius X School. Students, parents, babies, teachers, audience, new students and the principal were there. They were nervous and shy.
I am a year 6 so I am in Mrs Gleeson’s class, room 6. we went to class and sat on the mat and Miss G told us that we could choose where to sit and it was only girls at our table. It was A’leina, Jorina, Anasitasia, Sia and Robertanna. We all sat together and Miss G gave us a blue homework book. We wrote inside our blue homework book about three thing’s.......favourite subject, outside of school and wishes for 2010 and I finished on time because I stayed focussed.
When we finished, we went on to our writing and we had to write about when we started school. I’m looking forward my life here in room 6. I had fun on my first day of school.

Our Mini Music Video

We had 30 minutes to practise our rhythm work. We used that time trying to work with the rhythm of a favourite song. We struggled a lot at first and didn't get it totally perfect, but we didn't do to badly! Here's one of the takes that we did......

Let's Rock 'n' Roll

This week for dance we learnt some Rock 'n' Roll moves from Miss G and then had to put them into a Rock 'n' Roll routine to the song 'Keep a-Knockin' by Little Richard. Here's what we came up with......

Bad Day Poem

I had a bad day,
Mum said to stay.
Angry and grumpy,
Sad and hungry.
I had a bad day,
So I'm not allowed to play.
Angry and grumpy,
Sad and hungry.

Our Lady Gaga Choreography

We have started this term doing some dance. We were given 15 minutes to choreograph a short routine to a snippet of Lady Gaga music. We had to ensure that we took careful notice of incorporating shape and timing. This is how we did.........

It's French Time

We had to take someone elses storyboard and film what they had down, all in French. This was really hard as some people didn't have enough detail!!

Our Skype Experience

In room 6 on Friday 5th June 2010 we had an experience with Skyping. All the students sat on the mat, watching the electronic whiteboard, except for Dorothy and Siliva who were representing room 6 on the webcam.

At first we couldn’t see Mr Ballew because his webcam wasn’t working for us, but suddenly it appeared. The class all greeted Mr Ballew from Seattle, Washington, USA. The presenters then asked our questions which we wanted answered because we needed information on how to film something backwards.

Room 6 are now going to use the information that Mr Ballew kindly gave us and try to attempt to make our own movie that looks backwards.
Agnes – This experience was fun, because we got to talk to someone from the other side of the world.

Lavinia – I felt scared because I thought we would have to postpone it again because his webcam wasn’t working.

Siliva – At first when I sat on the chair I felt really nervous talking to Mr Ballew on the webcam.

Phoenix – We had a wonderful experience with Mr Ballew from America.

Angelica – I felt excited because it was my first time skyping with my class.

Robertanna – I felt happy because our questions were answered to make our movie.

Nita – I felt happy because Mr Ballew was compassionate and gave us great answers.

Ofa – It felt quite unexpected for me to hear from someone from a different city.

Zephaniah – I felt excited when he contacted us for the first time through email.

Macjeva – It was cool listening to his voice because he has a different accent.

Daniel – I felt excited because he was telling us information of how to film backwards.

Emmanuel – I felt very shocked because it was my first time seeing someone from the other side of the world on a webcam.

A’Leina – Mr Ballew was patient with the webcam to work for us to see him.

Dorothy – I was shocked when Miss G emailed him because he might not have emailed back……..but he did.

Anasitasia – I was surprised that we actually could film backwards…….I didn’t think that you could, but you can.

Ilaisaane – I felt happy because he got in contact with us.

Sia – I felt disappointed at first because the webcam wasn’t working and then it appeared infront of us.

Miss G – I enjoyed seeing all the students getting the answers to their questions. Mr Ballew was very helpful and hopefully we can now make OUR movie.

The SPX News

We are really pleased that we have completed our first moving footage. We have a lot more to learn but are looking forward to having another go at it.
