Writing our versions of 'Baby Shark'

This week as part of writing our children turned one of their favorite songs into a new version.  Here are 2 that we shared with our assembly.   First the children listened to different versions of 'baby shark' and then had little chats about how they could change it.  We have cleaning up version to santa versions to dinosaur and kiwi version.  It was fantastic.  

Lets just say our writing on this day was not particularly quiet, but the children were very focused on their own versions, singing them away to themselves as they wrote.  

Afterwards the some children had time to record their versions in garage band using a backing track Mrs G had already made up for them.  Then this was used in iMovie to record their version.  One group even used the green room to record their version.

Well done to you all.   Writing songs is a great reason to write, and it is so fun too.

Here is a cool movie that we created for our class assembly.  Thanks to Nick our Sound man  who made this movie possible and to Jake and Shiah our recording experts. We hope you find it as fun to watch as it was for us to make!  

Also special thanks to Rico and Louisa from Team Moana who came over on Friday morning to learn how to use iMovie on the iMac with Mrs G.  The results are amazing.

Over the past few weeks we have been learning a new song to help us remember the stars of Matariki.

Backwards Rabbit

Here is the song that we sung in assembly on Friday.  The children in room 5 & 6 recreated the video.  First they created a story board to help them decide what video shots to take, Next they got an older child to help them take the shots and finally we put it all together using iMovie.  We hope you enjoy.
