See you Later

Our visit to the zoo inspired us to make some animals, some were what we saw, some were imaginary and one was even extinct.  We made some crocodiles and alligators and inevitably the children started saying "See you later alligator.  In a while crocodile."  So we decided to see if we could make up some more sayings and these are the ones we came up with.  We had such fun making our movie - we hope you like it and can perhaps think of some other sayings.  Room 16

Nelson the Baby Elephant

We have been learning about elephants and one of the books we read was "Nelson the Baby Elephant".  The children enjoyed this book and Kohatu and Teejay wrote stories about Nelson.

"Nelson is little.  He fell down because he had wobbly legs. "  By Kohatu

"Nelson is a small baby elephant with thick grey skin.  He comes from a big family who love him."  By Teejay

Drawing Zebras

We had fun today practicing our iPad skills and drawing zoo animals using the square shape.  We changed the square to the shape we required, duplicated body parts to get them the same shape and then added details.  This is Kamryn's zebra by the waterhole.

Athletics Day 2015

Athletics Day on Friday was a fun day.  We had been practising for the running races for several weeks but the other activities were fun.  We jumped, played with a parachute, did an obstacle course and had a sack race.  In the movie you can see us enjoying our Athletics Day.

Our Visit to the Zoo

Going to the Zoo from Team 1 PES on Vimeo.
We spent a wonderful day at the zoo studying the animals to see what they need to survive.  We were able to look at their habitats, what they were eating, and how they had adapted to their habitat.  Some came up close to us while others preferred to stay in their enclosures out of the rain but we were still able to learn a lot about them.  Class 16

Movie Stars!

Today we were movie stars!  Our whole school went by bus to the Sylvia Park movie theatre to watch the movies we had made for the Manaiakalani Film Festival.  We were so excited to go with our buddies and see ourselves on the big screen in our movie "Mouse Encounters" as well as watch movies that other classes had made.  There are some wonderful movies with very talented actors in them.  Have a look at some of the other movies that are on the Manaiakalani site.
