SKIT-CRAFT

We started our performance by thinking of things to do.
We all agreed that we weren’t going to do a live performance instead we wanted to do a video that people could watch.
This way we couldn’t get something wrong unless the machinery fails.
Although our groups fate was left in machinery we where still pretty sure that it would all go well.

We started brain storming ideas and adding on to our previous ones,
a movie, a Minecraft movie, a compilation of Minecraft movie skits!
It was all going well as we started filming with our iPads and my computer.

Unfortunately we had run into many different problems with the recording software
like reflectors trial running out then the same with air-server.
In the end we had to resort to asking David for the school reflector liscense
so that the recording software wouldn’t expire.

We had come through the struggle and started filming again but then all of a sudden the entire skit crashed twice!
Someone in our group had blown up the house of dynamite two times.

We rebuilt it and filmed again and i edited the videos at home to make sure we got the best out of the 1-3 minute video we had.

Finally the day had come, daniel was in brisbane which i honestly didnt mind because i was looking forward to the whole performance.
I figured that without too many people we would be able to do everything with less distractions.
We had set up everything in the studio and gotten ready for the show.
The children had started arriving with tickets some for us and some for the other group called the silent shooters.
Bailey and i connected our ipads to the computer and reflected everything to the projector.
Harry had connected the mic and we where on, we stood up the front and talked about our show.

The whole show went great and we had a couple laughs from the crowd.
The silent shooters did a realy good job as well.

Finally we had started our workshop and all the kids joined into thier little groups and played Minecraft.
Bailey was helping in his small group of five and we got the more mature people in the group like year 6/7s to host thier own worlds for the kids to play on.

Some of our biggest challenges was Woodend technology trying to get the best over us.

Something that we could improve with was rehearsing the speaking at the start a little better and making sure that we paused everything at the right time because we had one mistake where someone accidentally pushed the audio/visual mute button.

Over all i believe that it went entirely well, maybe not as planned but even better.

ANZAC DAY

imageSo far this year I have learnt lots about the conditions that the Anzacs had to fight in. For example some developed trench foot and lived in horrible conditions. Disease  and  rats were common place in the trenches.

ANZAC day is a time

to commemorate the day that thousands of Australian and New Zealand men who died in honour of our country, Australia.

I read a book about Alec Campbell(the last Anzac) and he was 102 years of age in the year 2001.

This is a picture of the wall of poppies in the war memorial Canberra.

Noarlunga review

imageAquatics review

For 2 days all the yr 6-7’s and one group of yr 5’s have been visiting port norlunga reef/beach for the aquatics program.
The aquatics program is a program that is made for teaching children about the port norlunga reef and how to do certain things like kayaking and snorkeling.

We leave the school at about 9 o’clock AM. And when we arrive we put down our bags and head strait of to our groups (I did kayaking) when I got to the river we all got suited up with reef shoes, paddles and pfd’s.
Our instructor calls them pretty fancy dooverlackey’s or personal floating device.
When we are all suited up we head the the river and drag our kayaks into the water and hopped in we did a lap while stopping occasionally to practice our parking skills.

After we finished our kayaking we had recess and headed of to our next group (fishing) when we arrived back at the river we and cut up some bait.
I was generally in charge of cutting the bate but I’m not trying to boast but I cut a fly in half while doing so.

We didn’t catch any fish but Daniel caught an eye sinker that he got to keep.
when we returned back to the main area again we went on a reef walk,
Heading of on the “rubber duckies” we went all. The way from the beach to the reef in a meter of roughly a minute, got of and started to observe the muscles and Alge
That was covering the large rocky reef.

We learnt about the dog welsh snail things that feed by eating other things from the inside out
And all other things on the reef.
Over all I think it was a great experience and I would defenetly do it again.
