Sensitive to a Smile

This year, the students of Room 16 have enjoyed singing, dancing and making each other laugh. So, for our 2023 Manaiakalani Film Festival Movie, we decided to recreate the Aotearoa Raggae All Stars video of their song “Sensitive to a Smile.” We hope you enjoy seeing our smiling faces!  We also love reading our blog comments, so please leave us one!

 

Term 2 Immersion: Changes Matter

Welcome to Term 2! This term, our school there is Changes Matter and our team focus question is:

What do we notice when matter changes? We will be doing lots of different experiments and talking about what we notice when matter changes between liquid, gas and solid form.  Check out our Team 3 “Reaction Video” to some pretty cool experiments we found.

 

Manaiakalani Film Festival – Cool Kids

This year, our Manaiakalani Film Festival movie is called “Cool Kids” and it is our acapella version of the song. Everything you hear when watching was created and recorded by students in our class while we were studying music as part of our Art term earlier this year. We hope you have as much fun watching as we had making music with our bodies. Please leave us a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

 

Pirate Animation

During term 2, we were learning about Computational Thinking and in our literacy class we were learning about pirates. We discovered that pirates had to do a lot of computational thinking (without computers!) in order to create and follow their treasure maps. Check out this collaborative Google Slides animation we made as a literacy class reciting the poem “Pirates” by Pauline Cartwright.

 

 

Encanto Day

When we arrived at school today, the teachers of Team 3 had a special surprise for us! We were having an “Encanto Day.” Our teachers were all dressed up like the characters from the movie and we had lots of fun expereiences all day long. Check out this amazing video that the teachers made to highlight our day.
