Room 2's Class Movie for 2018

In Room 2 we have been movie making.  Each class at Kawakawa Primary School creates up to 2 movies to present to our school. The school has a movie viewing day where we see all of the movies that have been created.  After viewing the movies, each student chooses their top 3 movie choices.  The 3 movies that have the most votes are then shown at the Kaikohekohe Movie night.

We decided to create 2 movies based around our trip to Urapukapuka island for Project Island Song.  Our first movie was made with Kizoa, it shows what we did and what we learnt during our trip.

Our second movie was a music video about Project Island Song.  We composed the lyrics ourselves, created the music ourselves using Audacity and Garageband.  We then used a green screen to record our dancing and singing.

Boat building challenge - Part 1

Hello everyone and welcome back to school!  Here in Room 2, we have kick-started our final term with a boat building S.T.E.M challenge.

Throughout the year, our school has been focusing on "Awa (River)" - in term one we looked at the water cycle, in term two we looked at water conservation and what makes a healthy awa, in term three we learnt about the history of our own awa 'Taumarere', and for this term we are going to look at creating something that can float on our awa.

The challenge: To build a boat that will allow our "explorers" to sail across the ocean without sinking.

First we had to do a lot of brainstorming together in small groups.  We were only given certain materials to use for the challenge.  Furthermore, we had to buy the material using our class dojo points that we have been collecting throughout the year. 




Our groups have successfully built a boat each, and some of us have been able to test our boats on water.  Our next step is to test our boat with our explorer as well.
