Manaiakalani Film Festivel 2012 School Is Cool

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

MY TOPIC REFLECTION

• What have you learnt about this topic?
• What did you like about this topic?
• What is your role in practicing sustainability for a balanced future - at home, at school, in my community?

I have learnt what sustainability means.It means re-using recycling things so that there is enough for everyone. I liked working on my project because i learn how to be a sustainable person. To be sustainable at home  i need to make sure i recycle all the bottles and food scraps. At school i can be sustainable by not littering on the school ground but putting my rubbish in the bin. My role in the community is to not make any more  litter and to be careful with our resources.

• We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
• We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
• Memorising our lines for our scripts.

My Learning Goals for Term 2 2012.

THE BEACH HOUSE ON MAPLE STREET!

Once upon a time there were three boys that lived in a beach house. They had everything they wanted in that beach house. They had ice blocks for hot days at Mission Bay.

One day there was no more ice blocks left and it was a sunny day and the tide was out and the only place they could go to was the house on Maple Street because there is shade there. They went there and they found lots of smoke in the kitchen. The sun was so hot that day that it came through the window and heated up old newspaper. The fire got bigger and bigger and by the time they had realized it had already burnt down half of the house. They all said, “How do we get out?”. The fire was burning faster and faster. They had a plan. There was a window on the top of the house. They got an old sheet and swung it around and got it on the light and jumped on the wall. It worked!!! They climbed way up and they got out before the house burn down even more.

They were so relieved!! That was a close call they all said to one another. All three boys walked home and decided never to go into strangers houses, no matter what!
