The Forest Animation

 Kia ora bloggers!

Last term we were meant to create our own films for the Ako Hiko Film Festival, but unfotunately due to our extended lockdown in Auckland it was cancelled. However, Phil has organised an Ako Hiko animated Film Festival for us to enter instead!

I really enjoyed Choosing all the pictures and moving all the characters from one slide to another.

The most  challenging part about creating my animation was choosing different characters for different slides.

I'm really proud of what I have created with all the moving characters  and the story.

My favourite part of my animation is when the sun gets hit by a meteorite.

If I had more time I would change add more characters and backgrounds.

Something I would change to improve my animation would be changing the story.

if you entered the film festival send me a link to it.

The Haunted house

kia ora blogger!

Today Im going to be talking about The Haunted House heres my story

👇

THE HAUNTED HOUSE

The haunted house. It would be scary if I heard some screams from inside. If I was outside the house and a cat was screaming it would be the scariest thing and there would be lightning and rain. The front door banging on it’s self the wind blowing it away breaking the door and it fly’s away into the woods. This house looks scary to me because It says KEEP OUT on the gate. It's probably been there since the 1990s. This house looks abandoned because it is all broken with spider webs.

what would you feel if you were in the haunted house???

Mental Health Awareness Week

Kia ora bloggers!

This blog post is about what I like to do to keep mentally healthy. 

I hope you enjoy it! 

THE JOY OF FLIPBOOKING

 One of the activities I like to do to help my mental health is making flipbooks. A flipbook is a booklet with a number of pictures that change gradually as you flip through the pages. When you flip through the pages quickly the pictures appear to move. 

I enjoy making flipbooks because I feel happy while I'm using my lightpad to draw the gradually changing pictures and I feel a sense of accomplishment and joy when I view the finished product. 

When making flipbooks I lie on the ground in a quiet room and draw the first picture on the first page. Then I put that picture on top of my lightpad, place the second page on top, and draw the second picture slightly offset from the first. Then I repeat the process over and over until the flipbook comes to its conclusion. 

Sometimes the flipbook process doesn’t work out and I throw the flipbook in the rubbish bin which can be annoying and frustrating. However, normally my flipbook creations are successful so the positives outweigh the negatives.

I love to share my flipbooks with my family and see their reaction as the story unfolds.

One day I plan to share my flipbooks with the world through my YouTube channel - MJA Kids Drawing Club. Next time you are feeling down try flipbooking to improve your mood :)

Where would you rather be?

Kia ora bloggers!

Today I'm going to talk about where I would go if I had a rocket.

check out my writing here it is.






If I could fly away on my rocket today I would go to Mc Donald's. They have a bunch of food for me to buy. The food is so watery in your mouth. It’s fun when it is sunny not when it is rainy because when it is rainy it is slippery and when you get inside it is way slippery.




They also have a playground. The slide is so fun there and also they have a web under where you can walk. It's a bit scary though walking on it but one day you will be a pro at it.




It's not really fun being in lockdown, but we will get through it so we just have to wait a bit. But at least we are at alert level 3.

The three slow little hoiho

kia ora bloggers!

today I have made a te reo twist. here it is check it out.




The three slow little hoiho




Once upon a time there lived three solw little hoiho. One day their mother thought that they were old enough to live by themselves, so she kicked them out and told them to find their own home. The first little Hoiho built his whare out of rimu trees. The second little hoiho built his whare out of kauri trees. And the third little hoiho built his whare from mighty rimu trees.




One day a seal came and saw their houses. It made a huge shadow on their whare. IT WAS A DEADLY SHADOw. Quickly, each little hoiho scuttled to their whare. The seal walked to the first whare. ‘‘Little hoiho, let me in, let me in! Or I’ll knock over and kick and I’ll collapse your whare in’’.

‘‘Mahi atu’’ the first hoiho quipped back.

So the seal knocked over and kicked and collapsed the whare in. The first little hoiho scuttled to the second hoiho’s whare.




The seal walked over to the second whare made of kauri trees. ‘‘Little hoiho, let me in, let me in! Or I’ll knock over and kick and I’ll collapse your whare in’’.

‘‘Mahi atu’’ the second hoiho shot back. So the seal knocked over and kicked and collapsed the whare in. The first and second little hoiho scampered to the third hoiho’s whare.

ant sized

 Kia ora bloggers!

today we were to choose to be a giant size or an ant size and we had to write about it. here is what I did.

I would rather be  ant sized because it would be easy for me to sneak up on people when they are not looking at you and it would be easy to do whatever you want any time you want to do it. It will also help you to prank someone on fool’s day.

what would you rather be?

snow white and the seven dwarfs

Kia ora bloggers!

today I have taken the story book snow white and turn into a play script here it is.

When a beautiful princess is banished by her evil stepmother, she befriends seven dwarfs who try to keep her out of harm’s way.




Characters

Narrator One

Narrator Two

Queen

Snow White

Stepmother Queen

Mirror

Hunstman

Seven Dwarfs

Prince

Narrator One: Once upon a time in the middle of winter when the broad feathers were falling all around, a queen sat stitching by a window with an ebony frame. While she was sewing, she looked out at the snow and pricked her finger with the needle. A drop of blood fell on the snow below.




Queen: Oh, if only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood and as black as the wood of the window frame.




Narrator Two: Not long after that, she gave birth to a little girl who had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony, and she was called ‘Snow White.’ The queen died and the king soon married another wife who became queen.




Narrator One: This queen was very beautiful and also quite vain. She couldn’t bear the thought that anyone might be more beautiful than she. She owned a magic mirror and she would stand in front of it and ask…




Stepmother Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?




Narrator Two: The mirror would always answer…




Mirror: You, Oh queen are fairest of all.

Narrator One: This made the queen happy because she knew that the mirror always spoke the truth.

Narrator Two: Snow White was growing up, and each day she became more beautiful. One day, the queen went to her mirror once again.

Stepmother Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?

Mirror: You, queen, are fair and beautiful to see, but Snow White is far lovelier than thee.

Narrator One: When the queen heard these words, she began to tremble. Her heart grew cold like a stone and envy grew up like weeds within her.

Stepmother Queen: That child! I shall not rest until she has been dealt with.

Narrator Two: One day she summoned a huntsman.

Stepmother Queen: Take the child out into the forest. I do not want to set eyes on her ever again. Bring me her lungs and liver as proof that you have killed her.

Huntsman: Yes, your Highness.

Narrator One: The huntsmen obeyed and took the girl out into the forest, but just as he took out his hunting knife and was about to take aim at her innocent heart, she began to weep.

Snow White: Alas, dear huntsman, please have mercy. I promise to run into the woods and I’ll never come back again.

Huntsman: Oh, poor sweet child. Go on then. Run off.

Narrator Two: Snow White ran away as fast as she could.

Huntsmen: (To himself.) It’s no matter. The wild animals will devour you before long.

Narrator One: The huntsman was relieved to not have had to kill the girl. And just then a wild boar ran by. The huntsman killed it and removed the lungs and liver and brought them to the queen.

Stepmother Queen: Thank you . Have the cook boil them in brine. I’ll eat them for my dinner.

how would you write your play script?

A fire breathing-dragon

 Kia ora bloggers!

Today I made a story of a fire breathing dragon it was a really cool story here it is check it out.

                                       A FIRE BREATHING DRAGON

Peter was a fire breathing-dragon who lived on a farm with a kind farmer. People in the village where the farm was situated talked about the farmer. The people in the village said the farmer was a crazy guy because he allowed a fire-breathing dragon to live on his farm. Peter thought the farmer was a good person because the farmer cared about Peter, and the farmer was a kind and loving person. The farmer had many animals on the farm and he loved all of them. However, the farmer loved Peter the most. The rest of the animals were jealous of Peter and they wanted to get rid of him.

One day a tornado blew through the village. The animals were scared of the tornado because they thought the tornado was going to blow away the farm they were living in. Even the farmer got scared because he thought he was going to lose the farm. However, Peter wasn’t scared of the tornado. Peter was brave and confident and told the rest of the animals to calm down. The animals thought Peter was crazy because he was the only animal not scared.

The tornado blew more powerfully and became even more dangerous. The tornado chased Peter and he was blown up into the air. Peter still wasn’t scared, instead he flapped his wings and flew away with the tornado. The animals were happy because Peter got blown away.

Eventually the tornado stopped and all of the animals became calm. However, the farmer was sad because he couldn’t find Peter. Then the farmer saw something that looked like a wing in the shadows by the barn on the other side of the farm. The farmer yelled at the shadows and told the owner of the wing to reveal himself. Peter walked out from behind the barn. The farmer was overjoyed. The animals felt sorry for their jealousy towards Peter. The animals went to Peter and apologised. Peter forgave them. From then on Peter, the farmer, and the animals all lived happily on the farm together.

The End.

The Wonder Project

 Kia ora bloggers,

in the senior school we have been learning about rockets designs and Newton's Laws of Motion. We have learnt about how to be safe when launching rockets. There are some very important safety rules that you need to follow when launching a rocket. Some of them are:

• wait until the rocket has landed before you go to retrieve it
• don't launch the rocket when it is windy or rainy
• wear safety googles and a hi-vis vest

My favorite part was launching the rocket.

What I found challenging was building the rocket.

I would like to do this again.

Waka description

 Kia ora bloggers!

For the last two weeks, paterson class has been learning about polynesian wayfinding navigation and waka.

As you can see on the picture, we have even created our own waka on tinkercad. I decided to do mine with two hulls like a real waka hourua, the maori pacific sailing canoes. Everybody has a job on the waka! My job is to be responsible for the water! Everyday I check that the water is good for us to drink and get ourselves clean. We eat together at lunch time the delicious meals that our cook prepared. In the afternoon, we do some arts, like decorating our waka. Sometimes we also do some physical activity. What a great adventure to be on a waka!

What about you bloggers, what could your job be on the waka?
