I got a Prezi

Woo Hoo! Today I got a prezi...... but sadly not a toy or cash - it's a Website membership.  With this website, instead of making a boring word document you can have an awesome poster. Or  I.C.T. display and the best part is that it's completely free to students and teachers. I highly recommend this website to students. Here is the link to prezi http://prezi.com. 


Have fun!!!

What time is it? Movie time!

Okay... When is this movie going to be ready? I cant wait! Oh, there's the piece we needed. Woo Hoo! Now we're talking.  Aloha everyone. We're finally making progress with our documentary.  We are past the voice-overs and now we're on to adding in extra things like transitions and sound effects. Heres a fun fact about dry ice: Did you know that doctors use dry ice to remove warts?

Sugar Baby Rescue

Ah oh! Four sugar babies are in need of assistance but the stretchers broken, well we'll have to make one out of newspaper , tape and then save the babies... Well not real babies, bags of sugar and flour were what we use at Enrich.  

Once we built the stretcher (which looked more like a raft gone wrong). Katie  escorted  us to the obstacle course it had rocks A.K.A cones and a Mountain A.K.A 6 chairs our team was the only raft that made it through and  I learnt that simple materials can make a complex structure.

Moving to Russia in 2 seconds

Well I'm moving to Russia in 2 seconds. How is this possible? Well on google maps it is today with Jenni I did maping.  



We used the ipads to explore  the world. I was looking for Australia but ended up in the Pacific Islands then I typed in Russia and within 2 seconds I was in Russia .



We learnt how to read maps and what the different colours on maps mean. Green is parks and forests. Brown is the contour lines that show how hilly the landscape is . Blue is the sea, rivers and lakes. Black was man made structures.
Ps: Sorry for no posts lately

Oh no my train!

Aw man, my train is in the ditch again. Oh well....back to the drawing board.

Oh hi, hope you weren't on that train. Well today Jenni showed us some great learning apps for  I pad/pod/phone. Three were to publish work and two were educational multi-math and simple physics.

In multi-math you have to put the right amount of fingers on the right buttons. Now for the best app - simple physics. You have to build these metal structures to support their needs.

Tasty drama

"Right, now make a sandwich". Well, it certainly was not a tasty sandwich, unless you like the taste of Thomas, Jacob, Clara, Tara and I in a human sandwich! After morning tea we did some spatial drama activities. One of them was called '10 Second Objects'. In your group, you had to make whatever object Nicola called out.  These were the things we had to make:
1 - A sandwich
2 - A fire
3 - A clock
4 - A breakfast

What your favourite...?

What's your favourite food? Mine is mandarin. Well today for MADE Awards, we filmed a practice  movie. I paired up with Jackson to film Neave and Natasha completing an interview. First Neave and Natasha filmed us. We each had to prepare 5-6 questions earlier. Jackson asked "What's your favourite food?" I said "Mandarins". Then, I asked Jackson the same question and he said sushi. All this was to practice using the video cameras, as well as using different camera angles like close ups and long shots. By the way, we are now doing a kids sceince documentary so I'm Professer Kyle from now until the end of term three.
