On Monday the 14th of October everyone came back to school for term 4 and we were still watching Assembly from our classrooms on the projector and the theme for this term is May The Force Be With You. When assembly started 2 of the school prefects did the karakia and Mihi and they were Eleni and blessing after that we got started on seeing all of the teams to show what each team are doing this term movies and first was SMT which is the senior management team.
For SMT’s movie they did the forces of nature and how we turn them into energy. Mr Jacobsen created a voice over for their movie, he showed and explained how it works and he said that nature can be beautiful at times but it also can be messy and that’s where in the movie the earthquakes and tornados start to show.
Team one did a fairy tale the three little pigs and they were doing pushing or pulling and huff and puff anymore because of covid and Mrs Lal was one of the pigs and Mrs Shirley was one of them too also Mrs dwyer and Mrs Hockley was the big bad wolf. All the pigs went to build a house, one of the houses was built out of straw, the next was built out of sticks then the last out was built out of bricks. The wolf was only able to pull or push 2 of the houses and couldn’t pull or push the brick house.
Team 2 learnt how to use marbles. They learnt that lighter marbles go faster and heavier marbles go slower. They also created their own ramp for their marbles. They used teamwork to create the ramp and slide down their marbles. They transferred one ramp to another.
Team 3 lip synced and acted to a song about simple machines that can be used in our everyday life. These simple machines can make our everyday chores easier for us in life.
Team 4 importance of writing is to clearly write instructions for better results. They made a film showing how to make paper planes and how different types of writing can affect the results. The instructions would get better and better in the film. This shows that if the instructions are clear and written with details it has better results.
Team 5 used sound waves and vibrations using elastic bands and a guitar to experiment. They showed how to use different objects and make different sound waves and noises. Doing anything can make a vibration and sound waves.
My opinion on all of the movies is that they were very good and my favourite out of all of them is team 5 because theirs was very funny and they were dancing to a funny song. And this topic for this term is okay.
