Here are some of our finished movies. See if you can figure out what is being celebrated.

Film Festival

Today we are off to Tamaki College for our cluster schools Film Festival. The whole of Point England school are walking down at 9 o'clock for our viewing of all the movies.
It should be great.
Here is our movie we made for it.

Food, Glorious, Food

This term we are learning about celebrations around the world. We are comparing the similarities and differences of these celebrations and in particular looking at what food is eaten at these celeebrations. Our topic is called Food, Glorious, Food and our focus question is, "How does food enhance a celebration?"
On the first day of the term we had our Immersion Assembly where the teachers all got dressed up in costumes relating to the topic. We have been writing about what happened at the Assembly. Here is a recount by .

More Animations

As promised here are some more of the fairy tale animations room 15 have been working on this term. Although they are only 1 or 2 minutes long, a huge amount of thought and work has gone into them with some of our hyperstudio stacks having more than 150 slides!!!

ALA'S ANIMATION
For our topic we had to make an animation about Cinderella . If you don't already know, this is a story about a girl called Ella, two evil stepsisters, a malicious stepmother and a prince. Does it have a happy ending or not. Lets find out. I hope you ENJOY!!!

Fairy Tale Animations

Room 15 have been working extremely hard on creating some realsitic animations retelling our favourite fairy tales. We have been looking at trying to convey much of the plot through the dialogue between characters. Here are the first two finished animations which were shown on P.E.N.N. (our school T.V show) today.
