2015 Film Festival

This year Class 4 decided to do our comedy version of New Zealand's favourite tv show Shortland Street! We hope you enjoy watching our movie! We had a lot of fun putting it together for this year's Manaiakalani Film Festival!

Term 3 Pizza Party

Tomorrow marks the end of Term 3!  It is so hard to believe that this year is 3/4 of the way finished! Not long to go, and our Year 8 students will be Pt. England Alumni!  However, they are well aware that they need to finish it off properly and put forth their best efforts during Term 4!

To mark the end of a wonderful term, the students of Class 4 had a fun pizza party for lunch today!

Room 4 Boot Camp

Every Friday afternoon, students on Team 5 generally spend time playing interclass sports.  However, today was a special day for the students of Room 4!  We were very lucky to work on building our CORE muscles participating in a Class Boot Camp!

Check out some raw footage of our class in action!

WW 1 PENN Stars

This term, Team 5 has been learning all about WW 1 and ANZAC soldiers.  We were given the "Mission" to create a Hyperstudio animation that included the development of a poppy, and a personal WW 1 monument.  We were also told that we could expand our animation to include other WW 1 aspects, like soldiers and technology used during the war.  Today on PENN, our class shared the animation movies created by Matiu and Johnlee.  Feel free to link to their personal blogs to leave them personal comments!

Introducing Room 4

Today was the first day of class for the 2015 school year, and the students in Room 4 are off to an amazing start!  We had a great time today as we began updating our individual blog profiles and our first DLO of the school year!  We are so excited to win the Team 5 point challenge and as of today, we are in first place!
