Team Building Game

      

                Team building game


Today I learnt about building team work we were put into groups of 6 to 7 people at first. Then we had to challenge against the boys. In the girls group we were communicating and  looking for different ways to untangle ourselves  so we worked together as a team.
It was difficult when some of the girls were going different ways,but then it got easier when they were guiding each other to the right position. Just by talking to each other helped.

My observation report

Here is a link to an example of an observation report.  You can use this example to guide your writing.  

Try to use as much science vocabulary that you can.  E.g. instead of saying ‘sucked up the water’ you could say ‘absorbed the water through the stem’

WALT write an observation report
Introduction: The first paragraph should introduce what you are going to inform the audience about.   e.g. This term we have been learning about plants...	On August the 10th 2012, our group gathered a couple of plastic cups, the flowers and some water.We put the flowers into their own cups and watered them.There was a dandelion and a daisy.
Procedure: Tell your audience exactly what you did and how you did it.  You might use commas to list your actions. You might use words like:  when, then, after that...	The first day of our procedure, the plants were fine, until the dandelion was put in the dark. but we put daisy in the sun for twelve to twenty four hours.
Observations: Tell your audience what you noticed.  What were the changes?  Why do you think those changes happened?  What were some problems? You might use words like: on the first day, noticed, observed, changed...	The next day, we went to see dandelion and daisy. When we saw dandelion, some of the leaves we dead  and all of the leaves were hanging down like they were sad.But when we saw daisy she looked as good as new.
Conclusion:Tell your audience what you learned from the experiment.  What were the key things that you found out how you felt at the end of your experiment.Tell your audience You might use words like:  I discovered, I realised, I learned that...	I learnt that if you put a flower in the dark, then it will die but if you leave it in the sun and water it then it will be as good as new everyday If you don’t want your flowers to die then don’t put them in the dark.

Movie Making Process

Movie magic Evaluation

Insert the screenshot of your diamond below:

I think that Good actors is the most important element to movie making because...
If you want to make a movie you have to have to have good actors to make it entertain people.

I put a tripod second because...
 you need a steady camera to make the movie look right.


I think the least important element is good editing because... 
 you need to do  everything else (filming, script writing, storyboarding) before you start editing so it comes last.

Other important elements that aren’t included here are...
Entertainment!

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was...
When we  were learning about our basic movie shots.

Room 8 Speeches

Room 8 have been studying Movie Magic.  Part of making movies, is speaking clearly.  We put this into practice by planning, crafting, practicing and presenting speeches.  The topics we chose, were topics that would influence the thinking of others.  We hope you enjoy!

Speech Reflection

How did you feel about presenting your speech to the class? Confident because everyone was there to support me.


What was the hardest part about preparing a speech? 
Having to write it on cue cards.


What did you enjoy most about speeches?
They are cool to hear and cool to say.


How could you improve your speech making next time?  Speaking louder.

Comparing Movies

We used lucidcharts.com to compare movies that entertain and movies that influence.We used Maniakalani Film festival movies. 

The bananas group play

We were learning to use expression when we read.  We had to look at the punctuation to know how to change our voice to suit.  We hope you enjoy!
