Our Trip to the Zoo

'Animal Adaptations' was the topic of our study last term. We researched information about the topic, visited the zoo and saw the adaptations that animals have that help them live in nature. We used all the information we had in writing information reports about animals focussed on adaptations.
A group of students then used the photos of animals that were taken at the zoo and made a movie. They used the information from the reports to write a script for narration. They used garage band to create the voiceovers. Editing the movie and adding music to it was a lot of fun they say. The students enjoyed the whole experience.

J.J's view of the monks

lJJ's take on the Shaolin Monks. View his movie and enjoy! Some important lessons to learn from the monks.

The Shaolin Monks

The Shaolin Monks performed at Tamaki Intermediate School. They were fabulous!. To share the wonderful experience with you all, Seneti and Eli recounted the events of the show through a photostory.

Using the Shaolin Monks’ performance experience, we wrote a recount in class. Along with Eli, I learnt how to create a photostory on the computer using the recount. We began the story by importing photos. We sequenced the photos according to the events, added titles, created music and got excited as we previewed the photostory. The best part of all was creating the music to suit our story. Eli and I decided to choose a piece of music that sounded like Chinese music. I’m sure I’ll write more if I get to use the computer more often.
