Flick-it-On Movie Making

This term Room 11 are teaming up with two other schools around New Zealand to make movies.  We all take turns with different parts of movie making.  First of all each class had to make a 1min silent movie to 'Flick it On' to the next class.  The class receiving the movie will then add sound and foley and 'Flick it On' to the last class to add music.  Its lots of fun working collaboratively with other schools and we are learning lots about film making.  
For our silent movie with the theme of 'Quest' we brainstormed as a class and came up with .... 
'The Search for the missing D's'
We had an expert (Matt) come in and give us some tips on making a storyboard and filming different shots.

The Pinehill Way

We have been talking about 'The Pinehill Way'

We did some little plays showing what went wrong and what we could do better using 'The Pinehill Way'













Get Set Go...

We have been learning about 'Balance' with Hamish from 
GET SET GO!
Today we played a game called Valleys and Mountains.



The Treasure Tree

In Room 11 we have been reading 
'The Treasure Tree' 
Written by John & Cindy Trent and Gary & Norma Smalley     
Illustrated by Judy Love

In this book we followed the adventures of a lion, an otter, a golden retriever and a beaver.
Then at the end of the story we answered some questions about ourselves to find out which character we are most like.  

This showed our personality strengths :)

We are most like the Lion - Strong leaders


We are most like the Otter - Fun and playful
We are most like the Bever -  perfect, neat and tidy
We are most like the Golden Retriever - peaceful and faithful
