Amber's Commonwealth Animation

This is my  commonwealth games animation. I am so happy that I finished it before the term ended. If I didn't finish it this term I would have nothing on my blog. Hopefully I will post for videos and blog posts on my blog next term.

Here you can see how good I think I've done.

Darcy's made friends - Part 3

Last time Darcy had no friends, but this time everything changes.

Darcy was sitting alone eating her yoghurt, when suddenly a new girl came up to her and said, "Hi, I'm Palanquin. I am a new girl at school." "Oh, um.. Hi, Palanquin." Darcy replies. "Um... so do you have any friends? because um-" Palanquin says "I... I don't have any friends to be honest. Do you want to be my friend. But first I have to ask my mum because you might be bad and do bad things." "I don't do bad things. But you can ask you mum." says Palanquin. The school bell rung, lunch time was over. It was home time, too.

After school Darcy ran home with her new friends, Palanquin to ask if Palanquin could be her friend. Her mum said "Is she a blonde?" "Yes." replies Darcy "Then yes." Darcy went outside with Palanquin and started running around. "I'm tired," says Palanquin "Me too," says Darcy. "I'm going to go to sleep." they say at the same time. "Goodnight." says Darcy "Goodnight." says Palanquin.

Samoan Narrative Writing

As I woke up to the birds tweeting in the sky, I jumped out of bed and looked out the window. “What a lovely day to go for a bike ride. I wonder if my friends want to come”. I grabbed my bike and rode down to Rosalina’s house and knocked on her door. “Hi!” Rosalina says “Hi!” I reply “Do you wanna go for a bike ride?”. “Sure” Says Rosalina “I’ll go get my bike”. “Okay.” I say.

Rosalina came out around her backyard with her bike and helmet, “I’m ready!” she says. “Okay, let’s go” I reply “But wait, I’m gonna go see if Quinlan wants to come” “Okay, I’ll come with you” Rosalina says. We went down to Quinlan’s house and knocked on her door “Hi, is Quinlan aloud to come with us on a bike ride?” “Sure. Quinlan! Your friends are here” “Coming…” She says while she rushes down the stairs. “Wanna go on a bike ride?” I ask her “Sure, let me get my bike”. Quinlan ran to her backyard and grabbed her bike “Let’s go. Is anyone else coming?” “No,” I reply “Let’s go”.

We were riding our bikes up and down the street when suddenly a car appears in front of us leading us to doom, we tried to turn but there was 2 men carrying a glass window to a building and we crashed into it. The broken glass popped our tires and we fell down a huge cliff, but luckily there was a river. But little did we know, it was a time traveling river!

It sent us to the dinosaurs age! “Ahhh!!” We all scream as we got teleported. “Where are we?” We all ask each other. “I don’t know! do you think this is… the dinosaur age??” I ask. “How will we even survive?” Quinlan asks “Eat a dinosaur?” Rosalina replies “Of course not!” Quinlan says “How will we even get a dinosaur down? It will eat us!” “I know” Rosalina says. “Stop whining! We need to get out of here! Where is the river we came out of?” I say curiously “Is it that river?” Rosalina says pointing to a random river. “No! It’s right behind us, duh!” Quinlan says. “Ohhh” says Rosalina “Let’s go before that dinosaur eats us!” I scream.

We all jump in the river just in time and we teleport to the cliff. “We’re home! Well, sort of…” Quinlan says. “I guess we’re stuck down here unless we can climb up?” Rosalina asks “We can try to climb, I guess. Let’s try” Quinlan says. We tried to climb but we just fell down, but we got back up because we can always try again. We climbed up once again and yay! It worked! We were up! Just before 6:00pm. If we weren't home by 6:10pm we would be in trouble! Oh wait… It’s 8:00pm.

Darcy's start to school: Part 2

One day Darcy went to school with her popular brother. People were making big fun of her. They were throwing stuff at her, too. She ran to class and put her bag in the cloak bay, sat down and started reading her book. People started walking into class and randomly mocked her. Poor Darcy!

A few hours later, about 2 hours, the bell had rung for morning tea. Darcy had packed banana yogurt, a wholemeal sandwich and an apple. Darcy ate her yogurt and apple, leaving the wholemeal sandwich for lunch. She never went to play, she just sat under a tree. She thought the tree knew her well, it did. She named the tree, Tree. The bell had rung, once again. “Time to go to class!” Darcy says while she stands up. “Goodbye Tree, see you at lunch.” But little did she know, Tree wouldn’t be there because…

Tuis Samoan Similarities

For 2 whole weeks we have had to make a DLO about Samoa. Do you even know what DLO is? If you don't, it's a Digital Learning Object. A.K.A... A Movie. So we did this little movie about the Similarities between Samoa & New Zealand. Here is a few things I have learnt;
The buses are free in Samoa
The capital city of Samoa is Apia, it is pronounced as Abia.
Samoa & New Zealand are different because not much people in New Zealand eat Coconut. But In Samoa everyone does.

The things I didn't like about the planning and making was that whenever I wanted to do a plan the other team-mates would deny it. I don't know why they would deny but I think they just don't like the planning.

The things I liked about doing the planning and making the movie was how we would keep having to restart over and over again once we've made a mistake. That's when it had gotten funny.
So sit back, Relax, and enjoy the video!
