Movie Making: Behind the scenes

We finish our second movie and I was a puppeteer. I got to do the part when Peter is looking through the fence.  The whole thing was cool!



Abstract ART

Christchurch Art Gallery, Te Puna O Waiwhetu Screen Printing Lesson:

Today we went to the relocatable east and we learnt about abstract art. First we did the screen printing.  We wrote our name on the back of card and each group had to line up and wait for their turn.  When it was your turn you had to screen print your paper.  The lady put paint on the screen and you used the squeegee to go back and forth.  You then opened the lid of the screen and took your piece of paper off the screen printer.  After the screen printing we put dye on the paper and blew with the straw to move the paint around.

Making Egyptian Cats

We had lots of fun making our mummified cats.  First we had to make the base and shape with scrunched up paper.  Then we put plaster of paris around the mummified cats.  After that we put linen around the cats to make them look old.

We put dye over them to make them look really old.  The colours were orange, black and dark orange.  We got some clay and made the head.  It was really hard.  We had heaps of fun.  Then we had to dry brush it to make them look even older.

The next day it looked awesome!  We finished drying brushing and then made posters.  Our learning celebration was called 'Twilight at the Museum.'  We dyed our posters to make them look old and wrote in hieroglyphics.



Earthquakes: 5.6 & 6.3 Monday 13th June

When the 5.6 happened the class went outdoors on the field. My Mum took quite a while to get to school.  All of the streets were flooded.  Our street has water from letter box to letter box. by Amelia

On Monday there was a earthquake, first there was a 5.6 and later on there was a 6.3.  My uncle didn't feel the 5.6  because he was driving.  He was wondering why some kids were getting picked up from school.  Olivia

When the 6.3 happened my friend Anaian was at my house and we where watching a movie.  Then the 6.3 happened and Anaian was hugging me.  Gabbie

On Monday there was a big earthquake and we where all at school.  I was going to do a fitting for my jacket, but the 5.6 happened so we went home.  We stayed home and at 4 o clock we went to my Dad's house.  He lives at the back of the airport and he had power and water.  We didn't have to boil the water.    We are staying there for a week.  My Dad dropped us off at school today and he is picking us up. Yesterday we went to the airport and we had burger king for lunch.  At the airport we had lots of fun.  We played games, watched TV and I read a book.  My Dad has a pool and spa pool, but we have not been in them yet because I didn't bring my togs.  Demmy

When the 5.6 happened my brother and I were crying.  I was with Mrs Douglas and I went under her desk and I was scared.  Then my Mum picked me up from school.  Amber-Rose

When I got home we went an talked to the neighbours.  Then the 6.3 happened and Mum and I could barely stand up.  Then I wanted to go home because there was lots of liquefaction pouring out the driveway.  When we got there we looked outside and a truck was coming.  It was on the right lane and then it went into a sink hole.  The driver was ok.  There was a guy on the footpath thinking he could go on the footpath and he was going about 10-15km and he said 'Hi,' to me and then he fell into a sink hole!  Jacob L

When the 6.3 happened my friend was around at my house and we were both on the chairs next to each other, then we zoomed under the table.  When that happened my Mum and her friend spilt their coffee all over the place.  We had a pot hole from the Feb earthquake and all of the liquefaction came up our drive way and covered it!  Neco

I was riding my scooter and when the 6.3 happened I fell off it and hurt myself.  My Mum went to put the scooter away and there was another aftershock and I ran to the fence.  Adam

When  I got home and went inside everything was fine.  When the 6.3 hit there was liquefaction and water all up my driveway.  Nothing broke.  Beth

My Treasure: Pounamu Greenstone

This is a treasure for me because my Nana gave it to me.  She got it from England.  I like it because it's my favourite colour and I keep it in a suitcase.

The Clown that came to school

Today a clown called Squirt came to school. He was really funny because he strapped a fake mouth on Tania and she sounded like a man. She danced to music from the iPod.  feet were really big and colourful. Squirt was funny with rabbits. He made them disappear and made three of them appear out of McKenzie's hand. I was at keyboard lessons when it started. We didn't know he was coming. It was the funniest day of my life. Paul thanked them for coming to Freeville school for funniness. Dru

I liked the clown because it was funny for the children. I liked the end of it because it was really funny. Jacob L

The Clown was really funny at our school.  He did magic! Neco

I think it was so funny and the best part were the rabbits. Manaia

The funniest part was when Squirt was going to pull an adorable rabbit out of a hat, but it turned out to be an ugly monster rabbit. Beth

Digital Pet Day: Ned the Kitten

My cat is called Ned.  My cat likes to bite my foot and he likes to chase me.  He eats cat food and drinks water.  Ned is black and kind of grey.  He's got a little mouse toy with a bell on it.

When the Earthquake happened

When I got home I had a big hole in the ground, in front of the house.  The next day I helped my next door neighbour clean all the sludge.  My fish tank exploded and most of them died.  My Dad saved one of the fish and we called him Lucky.

I like reading Star Wars
