As you may have seen, our names have numbers next to them. This is the point system. The points are how many blog posts to type. You can get points deducted by deleting somebody else's post, messing around or changing posts. The day that it was posted
Amie=2 Alex=4 Sam=12 Taesoo=11 Next week, our class (and the rest of the syndicate), will be going to Lyall Bay school to listen to the author of the Tom Gates series, Liz Pichon. Our transport to get there is a double decker bus.
During the week we had to write a three paragraph story at least for our holidays but it could be fake or real so on the first few days we did our plan and then over the next few days we filled up that plan and then we writ our draft our draft has to be exact to our plan but longer.
In reading we have been giving our reading groups names. The Yellow Group are The Golden Falcons, The Red Group are The Cool Guys, The Blue Group are The Animal Jam Lovers, and The Green Group are GACJES TV, with the amazing theme song... GACJES TV, GACJES TV, Everything is fun in gacjes tv! A few weeks ago Room 5 had 4 swimming sport people how won there races Sam Alex Caityn and Amie. Sam came 1st in year 6 boys
Alex came 1st in year 5 boys and Caityn came 1st in her race for year 6 girls and last Amie came 2nd in her race year 5 Recently, our class has been writing about a child's journey to school. We started this writing by looking at some photos of some CRAZY trips to school. Like this:
We are back for more animation. We have started taking photos to put together. We have to move them a tiny bit each time to make it look realistic and actually moving. We are using a program called Lego Movie to make our animations. We have lots of options to choose from like effects and sounds. It takes a long time to finish it, but it looks pretty impressive when your animation is done. Unfortunately we can't upload any to show But maybe we may be able to find a way.
On April the first,(obviously), it was a normal day, apart from a pool party,(more on that later), but... the teachers pulled a prank on the students! What they did was Ms Plant said that Wellington Girls College were going to give us the field next door, but first we needed to cut ALL the grass on the field to a length of 2 cms. So everyone in the Kakapo syndicate got scissors and rulers and then started cutting the grass. After we had done it for 15 minutes or so Ms plant told us that we had been PRANKED!
At the moment our class is working on some LEGO animations. We started by planning our animations on a burger. Sorry, we meant planning sheet that LOOKS like a burger. The chart had all the key events of our story,(we did this in groups of 1, 2 or 3.) Once we had filled out the plan we started writing our script. Ms Parker showed us how to write a script, using a scene from How to Train Your Dragon as an example. We then started working on our scripts. After that we will do a quick story board, and then move onto shooting.(We are using stop motion LEGO or Paper Cut.) We will keep up with you in our animation.
