Learn Create Share Through Seed Planting

Learning New Vocabulary

 We learnt how to plant seeds. We had to say what we were doing as we were doing it. We used lots of new vocabulary and phrases like 'a pair of gloves', 'seed tray', 'scooping up soil with a trowel' and 'sprinkling our seeds with water to make the soil damp'.



Create

We created instructions so that we could teach someone else how to plant a seed. Here is some of our writing.






Share

We shared our new learning with other students in our school. They had to follow our instructions. It was really fun.

Room 3 Stars On The Big Screen

3 SHORT MOVIES from Tamaki Primary on Vimeo.

We decided to make our own movies for the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

First we had to write a story to turn into a movie. We were working in groups so we had to do lots of talking to share our ideas.

Then we planned the filming of our movie using a storyboard.

Some of us made costumes. That was fun and really messy.

Then we filmed the movies. We had to make sure we didn't cut off peoples heads or shake the ipad.

We liked using the green screen, Lagi even made an animation using explain everything.

We hope you enjoy our movies!
