Wild, Crazy Insects In The Jungle.

Yesterday during media studies time we were going to do more choreography.
This time instead of doing a dance routine with a group we were going to do one together as a class but also do one in a group and instead of Miss G making up the funky moves we had to make some up too but in a group. It felt a bit weird and strange because we had to dance like insects.

The video that is on display right now is a video that my classmates and I made. The song we are dancing to is the song that is from the movie Eclipse by the one the only 'Muse'!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoy........

Mini Music Video

We had 30 minutes to practise our rhythm work. We used that time trying to work with the rhythm of a favourite song. We struggled a lot at first and didn't get it totally perfect, but we didn't do to badly! Here's one of the takes that we did......

My Responsibility Acrosstic Poem

R: Rejoice in hope

E: Encourage others to be good learners

S: Say nice things to others

P: Pray for those who need our prayers

O: Obey your parents

N: Never back down

S: Show others you are responsible by working together

I: Irrisponsible people don't lead you anywhere

B: Believe in yourself

I: In whatever you do, do it from your heart

L: Love each other

I: Independent learners can be responsible for their doings

T: Treat others the way you want to be treated

Y: You should always have faith in yourself

Here's a music video that the 2008 year 8's made for the virtue of RESPONSIBILITY.
This music video inspired me to do as I'm told and to follow our school rules.

If you are not responsible and you never show the virtue of responsibility you better check this out because I am telling you, your gonna love it.
Heres what it looks like!!
ENJOY

Duffy Theatre

“Growing Information Across The Nation”

Straight after lunch the whole school headed over to the hall to see a “Duffy Show”.

I was really excited like I was at Rainbows End because I had a little feeling that the show would be interesting and exciting. Before the show started they gave us instructions and rules to follow and they introduced themselves with good and loud expression. Their names were Tons, Chanel and Duffy. The show then started so Duffy popped over behind the huge book and got changed. Next he came back out and started chatting away to Chanel and Tons not knowing that we were behind him waiting patiently like self controlled students.

As he turned around to face us he felt surprised that we were just staring at him like we were robots and that bad people sent us there to kidnap him.

Later on Tons and Chanel vanished. Suddenly they came back out wearing island clothes and singing their voices out loud like a dogs bark to a Samoan song. At the same time Tons was dancing and Chanel was playing the guitar. As soon as the song ended they asked Duffy to spin the colourful wheel. Every time the wheel was spun Tons would take out a piece of paper that would give Duffy an opinion of what he could be in the future.

Duffy’s first option was Doctor and Nurse, so they asked a student to come up and be their patient, so Fetuli went up with happiness in her eyes. Duffy’s next option was sports star. This time they didn’t need a helper but they did need communication. Suddenly it was time for Duffy’s last option which was Chef. For their act they pretended to make a meal. I then had a time of laughter because Duffy did the Krusty the clown laugh and he sounded just like Krusty.

We all helped them by imagining that we have oranges in our hands and throwing it inside the pot. Next Tons and Chanel asked Duffy to open up the box and it would tell Duffy what he could be when he grows up. As he opened up the box, inside it had a huge sign that said ANYTHING, so that meant that Duffy could be anything he wanted in the future.

Before it came to an end they asked us if we would like to ask them questions. They kindly answered every question that was nicely asked.

Finally it came to an end, so Shaianne stood up and said a Thank You speech that was on the whole schools behalf. She was also thanking them for performing us a great show for us.

What a “Occupation Exploration” day we had.

My Highlight was when Duffy did the Krusty the clown laugh, He made me burst into laughter.

Popcorn!

One day during last Term Ofa entered the "Firewise Mad Movie Challenge" for our writing group. As the bell rang Miss G dismissed everyone else but she asked our writing group to stay seated on the mat. Suddenly with a blast she told us that Ofa entered the firewise mad movie challenge for studio 2, so we needed to film a movie that was only 3 minutes, it had to have the dialogue " Come On Guys Get Firewise" and we had to use the firealarm that they sent us. We were all amazed and excited. Before we had to film we had to write our script, storyboard what we had done and present it to Miss G. It was then time to film so the actors that were going to be in the movie needed to start bringing their pyjamas to school so we could get started. Now I'm going to break down some parts of our movie and tell you a little about it. Our movie is about Alex and Daisy's father whose off to work in the morning but is also taking a nightshift, so Alex decides to have a sleepover with her 2 besties Danielle and Olivia. Later on Daisy starts to make a big racket so Alex sends Daisy off who is only 7 years old to make popcorn for her and her besties to eat. Next all of the characters start to forget about the popcorn and just keep playing games not knowing that the popcorn is on FIRE. Suddenly the firealarm goes on and they all start panicking. But how will they be firewise??????

..........Pick us STUDIO 2........PLEASE!!!!!!!

The Tummy Beast

This photo that is appearing is a storyboard that my classmates and I have been doing. My storyboard illustrates parts of a poem called The Tummy Beast written by Roald Dahl. We have been reading alot of fantastic poems written by great imaginative poets, like On the Ning Nang Nong, The hampster on a skateboard and lots more enjoyable ones. This storyboard is about a little boy who thinks a beast is inside his tummy, so he goes ahead and moans to his mother and tells her the story. I was so surprised when we read this poem because I thought that Roald Dahl was only a book author but he is also a poet too.

This video is about me talking about my favourite thing this term.
My thing this term was singing together with alot of talented schools and Suzanne Prentice.
