Amazing 4 Shot Movies!

 Kia ora bloggers, this week in Te Ngahere we were making 4 shot movies. The 4 different shots we had to take was an establishing shot, long shot, medium shot and close up shots. An establishing shot is a shot from far away so all you can see is the sean from where your movie is placed and you can barely see the character. A long shot is a shot from where you can see the characters full body. A medium shot is a shot from where you can only see half the characters body and you can see what they’re holding, you can even see their facial expressions. Lastly a close up shot, a close up shot is a shot from which you can see what the character is holding. What I think my group did well was pretty much having the pictures exactly what they’re supposed to be like. What I think we could of done better next time is to add some music to the video to making it more interesting. What I think this will help me with in my proper movie is how to take better shots from better angles. 

Have you ever made a 4 shot movie before? 

Perfect Dot Plot Graph/DLO!

Kia ora bloggers, last week in Te Ngahere we were learning how to make dot plot graphs. I learnt that when making a dot plot graph you have to know how to explain what a dot plot graph is like explain what the dots show, when we were doing this we were allowed to look at a dot plot graph for an example and the dots on the dot plot graph represented how far each throw was. What confused me when I was making my DLO was how to explain my dot plot graph that I made, so I gathered all my hoe and watched a few example videos and then I knew how to explain my dot plot graph. What I think I could of done better in my DLO is to add some more pictures related to my dot plot graph. 

Have you ever done this before? 

The Amazing Marble Challenge Take 2!

 Kia ora bloggers, at the end of term 2 we had the Great Marble Challenge Take 2. We had to modify our ramp and test it again. We were doing this to see if we can improve on the last time we did it. We modified our ramp by putting the mark on where the marble should go on the ramp a little higher so it would go further. We improved a lot from our last ramp, just because we put the mark higher, so it would go further. What I think I did well this time was being specific in the instructions, because last time our instructions didn’t make any sense, but this time they worked really well. What I think I should improve next time is the ramp, because last time we had our ramp flipped over one way, so this time we flipped it a different way, to modify it even more. 

Have you ever made a marble ramp before?

This is a photo of my marble ramp. I think this is a really good marble ramp because of how it was created and presented. We needed cardboard, scissors, hot glue and a marble to make it. 

Amazing Science Fair Reflection!

 Hey bloggers, last week in Te Ngahere we were doing our science fair boards/experiments. I learnt what a controlled variable is, a controlled variable is a variable that you have to keep control of, like when we had to leave the stains on the fabric out for an hour we accidentally left it for an hour and twenty minutes, so that a variable we should of controlled. There is also another variable we should of controlled, the other variable is that when we put the pieces of fabric with the stains on into the washing machine we put them on top of each other so one of the stains got into the other pieces, so once again that is another variable we should of controlled. What I think was difficult was our method, because in our method we had to really explain how we did our science experiment, so I gathered all my hoe and wrote that method, and it ended up AMAZING. Aslo next time if we ever even do this again I would, make sure we controlled the variables and not put them on top of each other. The reason why I used my hoe was because, my hoe helps me to get things done and the best hoe I used was kaha (being strong.)
