Summer Learning journey

Kiwi Art

we have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?

Film Reveiw

St Pats - Greymouth Song.

Recently we went down to the Regent Theatre, to watch some films
the Toki Pounamu students had filmed. We 
watched them all,
found the best one, and wrote a review on it. 

I chose The Greymouth Song, by two St Patrick’s
students. What
did I like about this song? The students added
the best places in
Greymouth and also changed the lyrics from a
good song to make
it about Greymouth.

I liked all the videos and how well it was edited
together. I liked
how they imported the clips but also had the
singing voice over
on top of them. The sound quality was very
good and you could
hear them easily.

One thing I didn't like was the students added
some pictures
that didn't make sense. For example, there was
a random lady
standing with a sign, I'm guessing Greymouth
was on the sign,
but at first glance it's quite hard to see. 

Next year I think they should take more photos and videos.
that will match the song. Also I think the
students could add more
actors so then more videos could be made
instead of the old photos
that were put in.

Next year the Film Festival
should have a voting system for
when everybody leaves the theater.
For example, there should
be a box with papers next to it, you
can write down your favorite
film, and When all the votes get drawn out,
the school / video owners
with the most votes should get a prize. I think
this because I see it as
pointless for their schools not to get anything back.
To make it more
fair the students can not vote for their own schools.

Simple Maori Phrases

We are learning to pronounce simple maori phrases.

My Kowhaiwhai Pattern

My Kowhaiwhai Pattern

By Lily

Last term in He Kakano we started painting
kowhaiwhai and their meanings. Kowhaiwhai are
a Traditional Maori pattern. We all had to create a
piece of artwork that showed at least one
kowhaiwhai pattern. This is what I made.  

The purple diamond shapes are myself,
with my wild personality. The green diamonds inside the purple ones is my
heart inside of all of my wacky personality.
The blue swirls are my family supporting me
for whatever I do. The pink and yellow triangles
are my challenges, they are always there but I
have to work my way through them.
I made this design to show my family
and I and how me might have some challenges but we will always get through them together.

My Animation

Today we had to make an animation, but we had to learn how to to embed and make it loop without stopping. First embed the link and change all the "falses" to trues, then change the 3000 to 200 or what ever speed you want.
