Bees Wax Wraps - Maunga

Team Maunga was really engaged in the process of beeswax wrap making and 2 groups of children decided to make a movie to share the process on how we would make them and created storyboards to show this.  They then recorded the rest of the class making their beeswax wraps.  They then went back and added to their storyboard.

Once the videos and storyboards were sorted, children worked with Mrs G on editing and trimming these in iMovie.  The groups worked hard on this and were able to cut movies down (Then Mrs G did cut a bit more out as well to make it a better length).  The next day the groups worked on their movies again recording and typing in the words from their storyboards.  Finally, the groups choose backing music and turned its volume down on this, so they could still hear their recorded words.

Here are the movies that have been created.

One of our School Entries for Kaikohekohe Movie

Today we had our showing of the Kaikohekohe Movies so we are FINALLY able to share one of the movies we created in term 3.  The movie was made by Iti and Maunga.  It was based around the movie documentary theme.  

To make it we watched a few David Attenborough movies so we could get ideas on what types of shots to take and what kind of voice/style we wanted for our Voice Overs.  

Our recordings were shot at different times of the day to capture lots of different events, some were funny, some were serious.  We had so much fun shooting footage for this movie.  Mrs S and Mrs G thought it was halarious watching us finding sneaky places to record from, so they started recording us as well.

Mrs S then helped us to piece it together on the iMac and then we did our 'voice overs'.  We hope you enjoy our movie.

Covid - Can't touch that Movie

Now that our school movies have been Judged we can share this movie with you our Whanau.  

We are super excited because one of our movies has been selected to go forward to our Kaikohekohe Movie Event.  We are hoping that COVID won't stop this from happening.

When this other movie has been shared as part of this Kaikohekohe Event we will then share it here on our class blog!

We are super proud of our children and their movie-making efforts.

 

Additional Movie for our school competition

Here is another movie we created together for our school movie competition.  We learned a song and then decided to remake it to reflect what we saw and liked about being at the zoo.  When we got back from the zoo we set up making masks to use in our movie remix.  Finally, they were finished and we were ready.

This is what we did next.

1. We re-wrote the verses to fit with the animals we had made masks for.
2. We choose backgrounds for each of the animals we were going to record
3. We recorded small clips using a greenscreen app called DoInk.
4. We remade the music to fit our animals and our verses using garage-band.
5. We merged the music and the video clips together using iMovie on the iMac.

We hope you enjoy watching and start singing to our catchy new tune.

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.

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 another video Team Maunga created together.  Just for fun.  This is a groovy and fun song that we all like to sing, so we decided to do our own version of it.

We hope you enjoy

Maths workshops

Heidi has the iMovie bug!!!

Today we had our maths workshops.  We decided to take some short snippets of things we were doing.  Heidi saw the opportunity to step up again... Not only has she volunteered to run one of our workshops next week but she also wanted to create an iMovie to show others what we do.

She worked with Legacy and Stella to get this movie published in time to share at our assembly in the afternoon.  

Pretty impressive.

Stop Motion Movie Making Instructions

This week during writing time children working with Mrs C Monday and Wednesday were asked to make a  movie explaining the steps of stop motion.  

Their first task was to discuss the steps that needed to make a movie.

Write these down clearly for others to read and listen to.

Record the scenes that supported each of the steps.

Piece it all together using iMovie - including adding the written steps.

What a great result they have come up with.  Ruby, Nicole and Heidi did a great job of piecing it together and they did a great job of sharing it at assembly.  Well done.

Heidi I am so proud of you for stepping up and volunteering.  This was not your writing group but when you saw and opportunity to get yourself involved you grabbed it (and nailed it).  To be honest, once you saw the opportunity to get involved.  MAGIC!!!
