WALT: Create an advertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerston North. I used MS Publisher to create this poster. To make my poster stand out and grab the readers attention I used bold colours. I found finding the right background colours a challenging because not many colours stood out. Something I enjoyed was using the different fonts because it was fun to see what colours matchedand if they stood out. Something interesting I learnt about advertising was if you don't make it eye catching the reader won't think its exciting.

Special Olympics Movie

WALT: follow an inquiry process and present out inquiry learning about the Special Olympics using MS Movie maker. Before making this movie, I looked over the feedback I received last term for my movie about China. Some of the things I took into consideration and tried to improve on when making this movie were to have a louder voice and clearer voice. Something interesting I have learnt about the Special Olympics during this inquiry is that you have to be 8 or over to compete. A challenge I found in this inquiry was having to memorise the words before we were on camera, I managed to solve this by trying on some scenes to sneak in the script.

ENJOY THE MOVIE!!!

Athletics

Last week on Friday 13th November we had our St James school Athletics up at the Massy Track.A highlight for me was wining the 400 meters. A challenge for me was finishing the 400 meters when I was very tired.

chinas history

WALT:Follow an inquiry process. This term we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we have leart in term 2. We brainstormed open quesions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Beth, Izzy, Krista, Zeppelin and I were finding out more about was Chinas History. We found our information on the internet and from books. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used movie maker to present our inquiry. Something I enjoyed was making the movie becuase I got to learn how to use Movie Maker. An interesting fact I found out was the Chinese zodiac anamalis arnt just years, thier months to. My next learning step in inquiry is to be more focased to awnser my qustons.

How cultures and Traditions Expressed though dance.

Walt:During week one, we had a variety of learning experiences to tune us into ideas about our big question for this term - how cultures and traditions expressed though dance? We had a performance from the boys high pacifica group,a performance from st peters pacifica group and a drumming workshop. I enjoyed the drumming workshop the most because we got to make up our own beats. something new I learnt was about the instruments they use an how they make them.

Walt:Recognise how st james lived a lifr folling jesus and spreading the good news. Our school is named after st james because james built the school.St Jamess showed he followd Jesus because he spread the good news of jesus. An Interesting fact about st james is he got beheaded

Walt:present the information I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most important information from my presentation. This voice thread explains what I have learnt during my inquiry on the kiw. Something I think I did really well during this inquiry process was how I presented my work because I used paint and added magazine clipings. Next time I do an inquiry something I could improve on is adding more detail to my information box because I did not use as much detail as I could have. The part I liked best about doing an inquiry was having a member of DOC come in and talk to us about New Zealand native animals because it answered a lot of my quesions about the kiwi.

Walt:useblabberise to share infomation on our inquiry learning. Iused blabberise to make this video. The informaioni used is what i have found out so far during my inquiry on the Kiwi .An interesting fact I have found out about the Kiwi is that they eat fresh water crayfish.
