Rewinding Back To June 2012

In Term 2 our school's inquiry topic was about 'Magic Movies'. Here is a trailer of our movies we made throughout Term 2. 


Room 7 Movie Tralier from Tamaki Primary on

Manaiakalani film festival

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

Minus

What challenges did you have with this unit? 

• Waiting for our turn to film because there was only one flip-cam and a tripod.  
• We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
• We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
• Memorising our lines for our scripts. 

Interesting

What interested you about this unit?

• The editing process.  
• Adding sound effects and music to our movies.  
• Learning how professional film makers make movies and trying to develop their skills throughout the process of our film making experience.  
• Learning the movie elements helped us to make our movies interesting to watch! 
•  
• Solution
  How could we improve on this unit next time. 
•   More flip-cams and tripods.  
• Have the Imovie programme on our netbooks so that we could edit our movies instead of waiting for a group to finish.

Why people should play rugby

Hi my name is Pate i going to tell you about rugby . People should play rugby because you can build up muscle like Jonah lomu a famous rugby player thats why i think people should build muscles instead of  going to Jenny Graig.Thats why i think people should play rugby.

my first Opinion is that it is really fun to play and it’s great to play because it builds up musle and also can help as by getting fit in rugby.


My second opinion is that rugby is a cooperating sport and can help sharing the ball so everyone  could be happy. it also builds relationships to each other when they sharing the or letting  everyone have go in attacking or defending.


My third opinion is that parents are not letting kids play rugby just because they don't like their child getting hurt all the time that i think people should play rugby because it is for everyone like for the girls how they could played rugby for New Zealand and won as they made it to finals against England in the final and they won and also the boy that play for the All blacks won the world cup
and made it to finals against france and thats why people should  play rugby remember because cooperates and also builds relationships and it's good for everyone to play and everyone. Even though if you are a boy or a girl everyone can play!!!!!!.
