Emoji Movie Guessing

Hi, in Te Ngahere for our school google hangouts we have been doing emoji movie guessing. The emoji movie guessing is when there are some emojis that represent a movie and we have to guess what the movie is. So Me and my friend Shay made our own one.  I think that we did pretty well because the movie’s aren’t really easy to guess but aren’t impossible. What we could have done better is add more and also make the picture’s png so we can add a background.

If you try my emoji movie guessing game can you please rate it?

Four Shot Amazement

 Hi, in Te Ngahere we have been learning about for different shots. The four shots we used for our four shot movie were establishing shot, long shot, medium shot & close up. 

 The medium shows more interesting detail and what they are doing, long shots show less of the setting a little of the person or thing, close ups are used to show the thing or person with full detail and establishing shots which tells the audience where and when the story is taking place. What me and my group did well was that our carema wasn’t shaking and also we got our movie done fast. What we could have done better  was when I kicked the ball I should have kicked it higher and also get our characters to move more. I think this can help me and my group when we make our movie to add more detail to our setting and characters.

Have you made a movie before?

Nanogirls Amazing Show

 Hi, last week Nanogirl a famous scientist came to our school and put on an amazing show. She beat gravity by using a force called centripetal force. My favorite part of Nanogirl show was when she said she wanted to be like Mahuika the god of fire, she used science to help her become the god Mahuika. She used science to be able to set her hands on fire. What I learned from Nanogirl’s show is that great scientists make mistakes and they never give up and I shouldn't give up. How I could use this in the future is if I make a mistake I shouldn’t give up and keep trying.

Has Nano girl ever came to your school?

Dot plot Graph

Kia ora on the first week of term three we started learning about Dot Plot graphs. A dot plot is a type of graph that measures length or an amount. I learnt what a dot plot graph is and also I learnt how to make one. After we had learnt how to make a dot plot graph we had to make a DLO.] Whaea Becks made an example DLO and I think hers is better than mine because she explained what range meant and also she explained it a lot better.  What I could have done Better in my DLO is explain it more and be more clear.

Have you learnt about dot plot graphs?

Marble Rerun

Hi, at the end of term 2 we did a rerun of the Great Marble Challenge. The great marble challenge is when we make a ramp out of whatever we want but a marble has to roll down the ramp and make it 110cms away from the end of your ramp. For our rerun we got to make a new ramp or modify our ramp my group smashed our ramp and made a new one but we still used blocks. We made sure our instructions were clear this time because last time they weren’t so clear and also we made so that our ramp was stable. I think we improved from our last attempt because last time got zero points but this time we got around 20 points. Have you done this before?

Science Fair or Science Struggle

 Hi , for the past three weeks we have been doing science fair. What I learned while we were doing science fair is what a method is and what a method is used for. A method is a step by step plan of what you are going to do. I also learned all about the scientific method, fair testing and variables. What I found difficult was testing people for our science fair because they wouldn’t listen to Me and my group. If I had a chance to do this again what I would do differently is choose more sensible people to test. The main hoe that I had to use was Tu Maia which means resilience, I had to use this hoe because I struggled quite a bit.  

Have you ever done science fair before?
