Up, Up and Away Hot Air Balloons Display

Matua Ken, Bev and Sarah have put our wonderful hot air balloons up on the wall this morning.
Here is a video of our display.

Team Awa Movies

Mitchel, Brooke S, Denym, Leonor and Ricci-Lee filmed some videos about a catapult they made. Mrs Clarke put it together in IMovie. Some natural actors in Team Awa.

Feedback from our judge Tim Foley:

Team Awa – Can We Catapult It?

• Very clear instructions
• Good to see both far and close up demonstrations of the catapult
• Funny infomercial moment near the end worked well
• Bloopers were a really nice touch and a great way to finish!

Here is our second movie School Busters. Mrs Clarke and some wonderful planners wrote the script. We used lots of different actors to present parts. How wonderful are our 2 main presenters Georgia and Fin!

Feedback from our judge Tim Foley:

Team Awa – School Busters – 3rd PLACE OVERALL

• Great take on Mythbusters
• Energy of ‘introducers’/presenters was fantastic and helped ‘sell’ the movie
• Lots of elements at play: Music, editing, presenting
• This would have one Best Original Score category if we had it like they do at The Oscars!

Collaborating with Lego

Our School was very lucky to receive a generous amount of Lego from LEGO. The year 4's had a competition - Boys VS Girls to build some Lego. They had to work in small groups to put their part of lego together. It was a great collaborative, problem-solving task. Here are some photos of them work together. We hope to finish them off this week.

Collaborative Bird Wings

We made a collaborative bird in Team Awa. We each designed and created our own feather. 

We drew our patterns with chalk then went over the top with white crayon. We chose complimentary colours to dye over the white crayon so the patterns stood out. 

Here is a video we made of each of us with wings.

Here is a photo of our bird on the wall. 

Team Awa's Assembly

Here is our assembly presentation from today's assembly. All the children in Team Awa did a fantastic job and we won BEST CLASS!!
