Team Maunga Movies

Here are our Auckland trip movies. We entered them in our School Movie Competition.  

This is how we made them:

1. Took videos and photos while we were on our trip of all our adventures.
2. Sorted the videos and photos so that it was easy to make a movie about different parts of our trip.
3. Choose a movie trailer in iMovie and then change the storyboard to suit our trip.
4. Insert the movies and photos into this storyboard so it matches with our story.
5. Check and edit our movies to make sure it is as correct as possible.
6. Upload it 

We hope you enjoy watching them.

T shaped literacy

We have started using T-Shaped literacy in our class.  We read books as a class and then work with buddies at our table to record ideas about questions that help us think about the things that are happening in the stories.  Here are some photos and an Explain Everything that was created during this time as part of T-Shaped literacy work.  

Our T-Shaped literacy often links both our reading and writing together as well as topics we are focusing on.  Currently, we are focusing on Animals, looking at different types of animals and their different habitats (both in the wild and as zoo animals and as pets.  This is helping us get ready for our Zoo trip in late August.

The previous topic that we were focusing on was about Myths and Legends.  Here is an Explain Everything of a story that was being re-told.  Our publishing during this Myths and Legends T-Shaped literacy focus was acting out myths we had focused on and we recorded these.  We hope to be able to share with you all what these look like.

Collaborative stories for Easter

Today we were working with our learning buddies to create collaborative stories about the easter bunny.  Have a look at how cute the kids were at reading their stories.
