Fantail Collage

Today we had Mrs Minehan come into our classroom. She taught us how to make collages with google drawings. We had to find a texture using the explore tool and crop it to make shapes. We had to do it of native birds. I chose a fantail. I enjoyed this even though it was a bit challenging. Here is my collage.

Cycle Trail Artwork

Last week Rooms One and Eight biked the West Coast Wilderness Trail. We started at Kapatea Reservoir and biked back to school.  To show that we did the bike ride we got into pairs to do some artwork. We had to choose a spot on the track to inspire you for your art.  I worked with Dakota. We chose the bush and the track for inspiration.  Here is our art.

Toki Pounamu Film Festival Review

Toki Pounamu Film Festival Review

On the 14th of November the Karoro senior school went to the Regent Theatre to go to the
Toki Pounamu Film Festival. This was the first time that the Toki Pounamu Film Festival had
been held. There were movies from lots of different schools including, Grey Main, Karoro,
Saint Patrick’s, Blaketown, Paroa and Paparoa Range. The movies were all different, some
of them were news interviews, others were voice overs.  The films were about schools, the
bush and where people live. 

There were many films entered but if we had all the films put together the festival would
go for too long.  To shorten them down a team of adults chose some of the movies to put
together for the festival. They chose the movies that were age appropriate and were the
\ best to show all the schools.  The theme of the festival was ‘Our Place.’

I enjoyed most of the movies including the first one, which was from Pa
roa school. The film was about a robbery in the town. This film started with a news
interview. Then they showed the robbery and the sheriffs catching the robber. In
film was Pippa Robb, Sammi Fahey and Caitlin Boddy. They all played two characters each. 
The sound quality in the film was really good because I could understand what they were
saying. They also had slow motion and had filmed from many different angles.This film
had good editing because they had lots of little videos and edit them together to look like
one.  I found the film very entertaining and interesting. 

Next time I think that the film festival could have categories with different topics.
Some categories could include adventure and making a film in a day.  Overall I thought
that the film festival was a really good event and we should continue running it yearly.
