Week 1 Video Clips
This week during literacy room 4 have been creating short video clips based on the short film 'Words' by the Mercadantes.
To begin each group brainstormed various ways verbs and nouns could be represented based on the different words were used in the video clip 'Words'. Each group thought of two words they could film.
After that each group created a basic storyboard for the short film they would create. As well as exploring the process for creating a storyboard room 4 looked at basic camera shots they could use to film their clip.
Check out the link below to view the first completed clip. See if you can detect the words that are portrayed. Good luck.

Dance & te reo Maori
Throughout this term on Wednesday room 4 will have dance and te reo Maori sessions with Mrs Pearson.
This week room 4 learnt the numbers from 1-10 in te reo Maori. They used the animals to count different groups of animals.
During dance room 4 played musical statues and created their own dance routine. They also had the opportunity to create different moves to match different styles of music and use their bodies to create different shapes and letters.
Thanks Mrs Pearson

PLANT REPORTS
Lately room 4 have been pretending to be botanists and have written reports about a new species of plant that they have discovered.
Included in the reports is information about what the plants look like, things they require to survive, any particular uses they have and what their habitats are like.
Room 4 published their reports using a basic diorama template. Come into room 4 and check them out.

Tahuna the Tuatara Award
There is a person in room 4 who is friendly
and quiet.
They are respectful and caring and look
after everyone like a kindly giant.
They personify our school values and would
never cause a riot
And they excel in their learning and could one
day be a pilot.
Who else could I be talking about but the
wonderful Violet.
Congratulations Violet

SYMMETRY MONSTERS
On Wednesday and Friday room 4 made symmetry creatures. We had been learning about lines of symmetry by folding different shapes to find how many lines of symmetry they had.
We first we folded a piece of paper in half then we wrote our names in block letters on one side and then cut it out and stuck it on a black sheet of paper. After that we used pastels to add detail to our strange looking creatures.
We all had a lot of fun we got a bit sticky gluing but it was worth it.
