Making Movies in Team Awa

Last week we made movies to show our learning on how bees make honey. We were able to choose we video, google slides or stop motion to make our movie. We used screencastify on our slides to add voice. Here are some examples.

Narrative Writing

We are learning to write a narrative.

Our picture inspiration:

  

(Ball. M. (2005).  Footrot Flats: Sports Edition.  pp 129.)

  

Once there lived two boys called Harold and Dankata at the Kaikohe rugby field. Harold had brown hair and Dankata had black hair.  Dankata had a special rugby ball and Harold had brown skin and Dankara had brown skin too. Dankata did a big kick, the ball went in the sky and the ball got in the tree. Dankata had to climb the big tree. The ball  popped out. Dankata starts running away. The two boys had fun and one of the boys had a stuck foot and he threw the ball and then they got Harold’s foot out of the hole. Harold kicked the ball in Dankata’s face. The boys had fun kicking the special ball and he couldn’t get his gumboot out of the deep deep hole.  He had red boots with a black and white rugby jacket.  He was so fast he could get a try.  The two boys pulled Harold’s gumboot out of the hole.  They lived happily ever after.

Volcanoes erupting

We are learning to write about a moment in time. 

We used our language experience of an erupting volcano and you tube videos to help us write about the moment a volcano erupts.

Here are some examples with pictures we created using our volcano vocabulary.

“Bang, crash, bang!” The rocky volcano erupted! Red and orange lava ran as fast as rockets taking off. The ashes and sparks flew around like butterflies. The smoke shot out of the red hot volcano. The lava killed all the plants that were in its pathway. The volcano lava did not stop.

By Ronan

Kaboom pssss!! The giant brown volcano erupted. It started with grey steam like a raincloud. Red sticky ash jumped all over the volcano. Round rocks spat everywhere. The ash was orange and sticky like gross slugs.

By Leonor

Ssssshhhhh! Boom!!! Bang!!! The volcano hissed as it was booming out flaming rocks. It is dripping out lava. Bubbling on the the inside. The lava was burning like fire. It was so noisy. Sssshhhh boom!!! Boom!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Smack!!! Smack!!!.The volcano is hard like rocks. The grey smoke was foggy, grey and strong and smelled dusty it blended in with the ash.  

By Denym

Fire rocks rolling down the side of the enormous volcano. Lava killing all the plants in its way as it makes its way through the villages garden. Enormous piles of smoke cover the wonderful view of the extinct volcano.

By AnneLise

Bang! The volcano is erupting. It was throwing hot rocks. The lava slowly slipped down the volcano. Lots of smoke came out. The lava was very very hot.

By Kyle

Boom! Loud red lava spitting out of the steaming volcano. Big hot rocks rumbling down the brown fiery volcano. Kaboom! The hot steaming rocks tumbling down faster and faster. The hot steaming lava destroying the city and town. The smoky volcano erupting.

By Kelly.

Wow! Everyone screamed when the volcano erupted and it was like red blood coming out of the volcano, I couldn't believe that was real. The teachers were tipping water and vinegar in. The volcano exploded lava out of the sand. The real volcano spat hot red rocks and black ash out of the big hole in the top.
