Whitebait studios PART 2!

 Hello Bloggers,

This is part to my blog post.

The first part was of doing the first day only some of the Year 8s went to whitebait to record the song. This time all of them went including our teacher Miss Rennell.

We had a big tour of everything and people working and we got to see the music video and the proper video not in the music video. 

This time was super super cool and interesting. I also made a poster for Emma, Matt and Mike. All the people who helped us make the video the best video ever at Yaldhurst Model School.

This was such a cool progress and so cool to watch how everything is made and all the filming, also and the things behind the scenes.  

Here are some photos.

I hope you enjoyed!

It was super fun and super good, this was amazing and we couldn't have made it without Emma, Emma also gets something on the final assembly, but shhh don't tell her. 

Have you been to whitebait studios?

Have you ever made a Year 8 video?

Will you be able to make one?

Until next time

BYE!

Whitebait studios part 1!

 Hello bloggers!

As you may know i'm a Year 8. At the end of Year 8 you get to make a Year 8 video, which we are doing. Last year they just were given an iPad and a certain time and just to make it. But this year our amazing teacher Miss Rennell got us Emma from whitebait studios. I am very very grateful for this opportunity and I think I can speak on behalf of the Year 8s too. I am most certainly grateful we got to do this and still doing the video in the making (: Whitebait studios is where brain buster and what now is.

I won't spoil it too much but this year we got a song and rewrote the lyrics, also only 5 of the Year 8s including me went to whitebait studios and sang the song, the song that we rewrote the lyrics to. We are very very grateful. Then we get to go back on December 3rd and all the Year 8s get to go and edit the video we made (Part 2 will be after all of us go to whitebait studios) but for now I will be talking about yesterday. Yesterday 5 of us went to whitebait studios. We got to sing the song, Mike was helping us and doing the autotune. He was helping make the song the best it can be. 

It was amazing and such a great experience, I bet all the Year 8s from last year are very jealous of what we are making this year. But a massive thanks to Emma the person that has helped us through the whole way, she helped us think of things, helped us filming and singing the song. Thanks to Matt her husband that did all the filming today. Thanks to Mike that helped us sing the song. It was so amazing and I would love to do it amazing if I could do it again..

Here are the photos....

Do your school have a Year 8 video?

Soft balls aren't soft...

Hello Bloggers,

For the past couple of weeks we have been doing soft ball.

So today I thought I would talk about Soft ball.

Firstly what we have done, we have practised like all the basics, we haven't played a real game yet though, but we have been practicing like catch being fielders and hitting the soft ball with a bat.

But I will talk about our most frequently one. Stella, Stella doesn't teach us all the it switches between people, but we played a mini game not like the actual games. Also we are just learning so we haven't done like the real stuff yet but are very good so far.

For the game there is a square and then you have to run to the bases after you hit the ball with a bat, and if your a fielder you wait until the hitter hits and then get the ball and throw it to the person on one of the bases. I was a fielder first, I didn't go on the diamond until the end bit.

As confusing as it is it was surprisingly easy.

Here are some tips!

I thought it was so much fun and a good experience and we do it every Monday.  I think that if you have the chance make sure you do it!

Thats it from me!

A HIPPO IN A BAG OF CHIPS!?!

Hello Bloggers,

On Tuesday we have Miss Morgan to come and teach us Cybersmart, 

its the 3rd session and we are learning about : How To evaluate Media.

Firstly we watched and discussed a video about a hippo in a bag of chips. Yes that's right CHIPS... Obviously its fake!

Then we looked at the advertisement about a model in front of a beach for a snickers ad and pointed out the things that were photoshopped.

Then we went onto a place to get quotes, I chose Walt Disney and found the quote and researched to see if the quote is actually come them.

This is where its from Brainy Quotes 

And this was the quote

Now we made a background for it and here it is. Mickey Mouse the lunatic

I hope you enjoyed, I certainly did it was a super fun task, to learn about to know what's fake etc.

Do you know how things can be fake on the internet?

Do you know how to figure out if its unsafe or unreal?

Did you like my Mickey Mouse the lunatic?

What can we do with eleven random things?

Kia Ora,

This Term we have been focused on brain training, so basically we have this spreadsheet, it has all these things we have to finish each week before friday, so there is maths on there, spelling and reading all sorts of things, we have to do all of the work before school starts.

There is the flow basics which is just all the things we need to complete, and then there is flow fundamental, this is each week we have a poster and there is like the prime number of the week and all different things, and then in our scrap books we recreate but not just do it word for word, you do so you say the prime number of the week is 7 you could put the meaning of a prime number. 

That's what the blog post is going to be about, it's going to be about the poster and then my recreation of it, I will show the poster and then the picture.

I will be showing you the spreadsheet so its not too confusing:

And then the fundamentals is just like, a box says whats the prime number of the week and then you put 7,

Anyways, here's the picture of the poster that our teacher made:

Here's mine:

This week we just started with this, its a bit interesting and new to everyone in the class, I think it could like a bit hard doing it all in the morning and also having other work to do, but I think we all can do it. 

I hope you enjoyed,

I will have another blog about this but the same next week.

Do you know about flow?

If so what do you thinks flow?

Have you ever been in flow?

How To Hammer A Nail ~ Home Learning Term 4 - Week 1

 Kia Ora,

Today I will be doing Home Learning for Term 4, we haven't done Home Learning for while actually, the Home Learning is optional but our teacher remmonds it, whoever does the most until the end of the year wins a prize, 

But what the Home Learning is based off this term is... Old fashion Skills, there is 40 things we need to relearn to learn and make a blog post about, for example my one I will be doing today is: How to Hammer a Nail, but there is like how to introduce yourself and how to make cheques and all that type of stuff, I chose to do a animation and how you how to hammer a nail in wood.

The List is on Rimu Site but I don't know if I'm allowed to show you that.

I will be making a blog post about one of them each week for the rest of Term 4, some people might do t everyday or every second day, but I don't have the most time after school I will still try to do at least one.

It Was super fun to do this, I think it was a good way to teach others and yourself, I already knew how to do this but, others might not and you might know how to hammer too but its good to relearn, I will have to learn myself for some of the different things in the list... Enjoy!
