FILMING WITH HARLEY!!!!!!!!

Filming with Harley   

When we were filming with Harley one of the first things he asked everyone in the classroom was ''what is the difference between a script and a piece of writing?'' everyone answered a script it has characters, lines for different people to say, and it is something you act out. Harley also explained what the rule of thirds is.

Harley said what we all need to say when we start and it goes like this the director says quiet on set! turn over then the camera person says camera speed then the sound person says sound speed last of all the clapper board person says the characters names then says take one as an example:Alex and Drew take one.in the classroom the way we got to choose our parts was just asking if we could swap after their turn.

At the end of our session Harley showed us a short 7 minute movie he directed link will be down below in blue if you want to see it.it was so so fun filming !!!!!!!!!!!

MAHI TAHI

                        Mahi tahi                    
At Mahi Tahi today it was outrageous!!! You probably know what we do first, well Tui, Kakapo, and Te Kahu get together and get into groups sit with them then listen to a fun little activity that the teachers give us to do like doing paper collage, BUT today it wasn't it was the FUNNEST activity outside!!! It was a taste testing challenge. My group had four people so two of us were blindfolded. One of us tasted and described what they thought it was and one guessed it. There were 11 different types of food and liquid to have like...
1.icing sugar                7. rice bubbles
2. mustard yum!          8. caper seed
3. cocoa powder           9. golden syrup
4. lime juice                 10. chili sauce 
5. salt                            11. hot sauce
6. marmite
I had lime juice, and caper seed yuck!!!
We used collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. I give this activity two thumbs up.Have you tried being blindfolded and trying some of the things on this list?

Google Earth 🌍

In Tui class we are learning about famous landmarks an one way we saw all round these landmarks is by going on google earth...I went on to google earth and saw all round the great pyramid of Giza!!! Apparently there are HIDDEN doors to get inside.

something else I looked up on google earth was the Sydney opera house wow!!! It looks so amazing especially at night. It is a piece of art. Did you know that and it changes colors at night as well.

 The last thing that I looked at on google earth was... the Colosseum it is so cool! did you know that the Colosseum's ground was pulled out and now you can see the tunnels.

I want to go to Hollywood because...

 I can learn more about what has happened in history like who made it onto the Hollywood walk of fame (stars), or all the films that have been produced there like Toy Story Four, and the Wizard Of Oz, also the Lion King.

I want to go to Hollywood because...

I can try some of their best well loved food like strawberry donuts, and chili dogs delicious, but one of the cool things is animal style fries which is animal shaped fries yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last reason I want to go to Hollywood is...

Information report

              What is a information report?
Well an information report is where you write all the important information like where or what it is. In Tui class we have been learning about different country's and the way we got to know what our country's are to write about were we all thought of different country's and wrote them down on a little blue  piece of paper, screwed it up, threw it in the air and picked a different one up and I got England where the Queen lives and that is something that we would have to include. We planned it out by thinking of important information like the population, capital city, currency, languages spoken,famous landmarks, culture, celebrations, and traditional food and when you choose what important information you need to know, this is what you do. Write it in paragraphs, each topic needs its own paragraph there is a lot of important information you need to include but I hope you have learnt a bit more about information reports.

My 200 dollar note.

My 200 dollar note has an Albatross because they swim in the sea, I chose a yacht because it is used to sail the seas. I chose this because the person I put on my 200 dollar note is Sir Peter Blake. He is an important person to New Zealand by being the first New Zealander to win the Americas cup for sailing.He also competed in the Whitbread round the world race (now known as the Volvo ocean race)

A successful biography

what is a biography

A biography is a retell of another persons life

An example Sir Edmund Hillary how he climbed mount Everest, or how Kate shepherd was one of the first women to vote, or how one of your family members started work at ...

you can do it about anyone you want.

but there is an opposite thing what is called a auto biography which is where you write about yourself.
                       what you need to write a successful biography
something you will need to write a successful biography is someone to write about and their achievements ,what they're well  known for, when they were born and their life as a kid and if they have passed away do the date for when that happened.
first I'll show you what order it should be in 
1.when they were born 
2.life as a kid 
3.achievements and what they are well known for
4.and when they passed away.
and that is how you write a successful biography....
