We have been learning to make a digital life in google video.
My favourite tool in google videos is transition it makes the slides look more captivating and it has different types of transitions you could use.
when creating a Google video I recommend you use the music audio that you can find in stock and web because it can make your slides more interesting.
Here is a video of LS1 and LS2 performing a siva to a medley of Samoan songs by Wayno. We had lots of fun learning the meanings behind the different actions and lyrics in the song. Thanks to Mrs Anderson for recording our siva.
As part of our Inquiry focus on “Cultures”, LS1 has explored the art and measina of ‘tatau’ in the Samoan culture. We learnt specifically about Samoan malofie – which is mostly to do with the male pe’a, and the female tattoo the malu. LS1 was quite interested in the legend of how the tatau came to be in Samoa today. We analysed and translated the song ‘Pese O Le Tatau’ by Junior Soqeta in poetry, then each chose a line to illustrate for art. Our illustrations were then put together in the movie below. Enjoy!
This term, Panmure Bridge School’s inquiry topic is : Cultures. As part of exploring this topic, we have been talking about migration and how we came to be in New Zealand. If you visit our classroom, you will be able to read the different migration stories of our families. In addition to writing down our stories, Darius decided to interview his mum, who migrated to New Zealand. Here is the film he made for this task :
This week at Panmure Bridge School is Respect Week! LS1 has made a music video to the song ‘Treat Her Like a Lady’ by The Temptations.This song is about showing respect and kindness to others, especially women, by treating them with care. We can take the phrase “treat her like a lady” as a reminder that we should treat everyone with respect, no matter who they are. Respect is about listening, being kind, and showing others that we value them. We hope you enjoy our video and remember to always show respect to those around you.
Amorangi and Valencia have worked hard to present to you : Episode 1 of LS1’s “Read Some Books”! In this episode, the girls have a korero about “The Universe’s Greatest School Jokes and Rip-Roaring Riddles” written by Artie Bennett. Have a listen to see what the book is about. Thank you Sila for your photography.
Darius and Vaingalo teamed up to bring you this update on our Rippa Rugby Tournament.
Over the past two weeks, we prepared for the big event. Here were the key rules we focused on:
No passing the ball to a teammate who is in front of you.
No slapping or fighting after a tagline—always check in with the ref.
Stay onside and make sure not to get in front of the ref.
We trained every Wednesday at lunchtime with our Year 5 & 6 mixed team. From our class we had : Vaingalo, Darius, Ene, Fern, Atahua, Amorangi, Valencia, Donyal, Loa, Cattayelaya, Sila, Sweet-E, and Rekard.
During our practices, we worked on sharing the ball, playing as a team, and improving our footwork. It wasn’t always easy, but we made great progress.
The tournament went great. Our teamwork really paid off, and we had an amazing time on the field. We’re already looking forward to the next one.
For Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga, LS1 had our own Tongan Language Week assembly. We have been busy researching our different topics about the Kingdom and culture of Tonga. Our work was displayed in the hall as we presented to each other, and sang Tongan songs to celebrate Tongan Language Week. A few of our boys came to school in their traditional Tongan attire, to share their expertise with us. It was a wonderful day of celebrating the Tongan culture. We even got to create our own kiekie in the afternoon, after learning about it from Maunaloa, Easton & Eneasi’s research project.
We have included a video of our assembly aswell as the slideshow of our combined research. Enjoy!
