The Bottle Bivy Beginnings!

Today we started out bottle bivy project! Here's a sneak preview of the 'gawker' (timelapse video) we're planning to make once the making is over.



We're also asking for each student to bring a gold coin donation to help with the costs of the glue gun sticks - the build take over 60 to get the job done. Thanks to everyone who's brought bottles into school. We couldn't have started without your help and team work!

Mini Doco Progress

This week we've started producing our mini docos.  Here are some photos that show what's involved in putting them together.  There are three weeks to go!

Bruce and Benjamin are green screening some commentary in the Library.

Ben and Jack are well underway making an animation using lego that will help them describe how the treaty was signed.

 Nichole, Aleisha, Gabby and Logan are making some cardboard cutouts that they'll use in their doco as puppets.

Ta Moko

The Year 5s made these amazing Ta Moko while the rest of us were at the Young Leaders Conference.  Ms Duncan helped them understand what the Moko represent and the significance of them for Maori, both in the past and today.  Great job, Year 5s!

Let's get creative.

For our first team work activity this year we formed groups of 6 and made these name tags for our tote trays. We had to assess ourselves at the end for how well we listened, problem solved, compromised and stayed on task

It wasn't easy! Each group had only one camera, some of them were flat (on purpose..hehe) and some groups made a lot of mess. But we like our results.
