Project Island Song

Last term some of us were lucky enough to go to Otehei Bay with Project Island Song. We had a great day learning about how they trap pests to protect the native birds on the islands around the Bay of Islands (Ipipiri). Here are a couple of movies the children made after the trip.

Imovie (made by Piata)

Stop Motion made by Buster, Cameron and Taylor using the traps we made on the island. 

Stop Motion made by Piata, Heidi and Hayley using Lego, showing a few things we did on the day.

Screencastify of a Google slide animation made by Tanner. Tanner worked very hard on this at school and at home. Well done Tanner.

 

Movie Making

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!
