Refugee Reading Task: Mahmoud's Story With Bridget And Eden

For one of my reading tasks, Bridget, Eden and I made a video creation of when Mahmoud and his family (from our class book Refugee) tried to stay somewhere warm and dry, but a Turkish man stopped them. He asked for a lot of money, per family member to stay one night. Mahmoud's father said no and tried to find somewhere else to sleep.

Short Reflection of ShortStreetLand Ad

For The Past three weeks, we have been recording, acting out, and perfecting our ads. First off we chose our groups, I was in a group with Tylar, Lucy, Kahi, Breagh, Emily. We decided to do a premier for a TV ad Shortstreetland - we got our inspiration from Shortland Street. Here is our official ad:

What went well:

• I liked how we worked well as a team
• The camera skills were great, on the perfect angle.
• We used costumes and props that make sense to the ad
• It was most definitely dramatic as we expected
• I liked how we used different areas to suit the scene. 

What we could do better next time:

• Next time I think we could speed up the ad
• Next time ad our voices into the clip
• Make the ad make sense for people who have never seen the tv show, Shortland Street
• Next time use our time wisely
• We could make decisions as a team next time, not just the leader]

Thank your Miss J for letting us use the areas of the school. 

Ukulele Your Welcome

For the past 2 weeks Theo, Breagh, and I have been working on Your Welcome by Dwayne Johnson and it's also in the movie, Moana. It was quite hard to get all in unison but we got there in the end.
