Movie animations

For the past couple of weeks our class have been doing animations for our movies. Our animation had be what our movie would be because we ran out of time. When we were finished we had to  screencastify it. What I thought was frustrating about making the animations was trying to finish it because we did not have enough time for it apart from home and self managing time. What I thought was easy was making the video because we only had to say the beginning and the characters and not what the characters are saying. What I think we could do better is to not frustrate my groups member when we are recording the video because we were mucking around. I learnt not to muck around or else you won’t finish your work.

Writing

For Writing in Te Ngahere we are writing about what is special about our school Pump track. We had to use passive voice, a rhetorical question, present tense, cause and effect words and more. We also had write three reasons why but all those three reasons would have a paragraph. What I thought was really hard and frustrating was turning these three reasons into a paragraph. What I thought was easy was writing why those three reasons are why the pump track is so special. What I learnt was that if you make a mistake you can always go back and look at it and fix it.

STEAM Challenge

In Te Ngahere, in the afternoon for our first day of school we did a STEAM challenge. Steam stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Our STEAM challenge was to build the tallest freestanding tower out of two pieces of newspaper and a 30cm tape in 20 minutes and when the timer was up we would see which tower was the tallest. What I thought was frustrating  was building our tower because we weren't helping each other that much. What I thought was very easy and worked well was our communication because we were coming up with new ideas as we were making our tower. What I think my group could do better is helping each other because our group was just talking. What I learnt was to never give up and always help each other.
