Our Mihi

As part of our Maori Language programme we have learnt a basic mihi and presented it to the class. While we struggled with a few of the correct pronouciations we did a pretty awesome job overall. Here are a selection of the students who were brave enough to be filmed for the blog.

Computer Tricks!

We have been learning to 'Green screen' and use 'Instant Alpha' on the laptops. This is fantastic tool that allows you to put yourself in a picture of any background you wish. It is easy to use and we found it a lot of fun. Our first attempts were to put ourselves in a scene from the country we have been researching for this terms Inquiry projects. Check out a couple or examples....

Jump Jam

Jump Jam has become a very popular option for our daily fitness. Sometimes we have the opportunity to lead the other classes. Recently Satori, Josh R, Cole, Connor N and Connor D showed us their Jump Jam talents performing the moves/sequence to 'In the Navy and 'I like to Move it'
Jump Jam auditions were held this week and I was really pleased to see lots of our class head along and give it a go. Good Luck you guys!
