I didn't enjoy the Top Team because I was very cold at the end.

Flick It On Challenge

I am going to tell you about our Flick it on challenge. For our Flick it on challenge my class and I have been working on a silent movie about how schooling has changed from Pre European which is the Maōri times all the way to the future school time. The Flick It On Challenge is a student collaborative film making challenge! The information was shared in October to our class. After we have finished our movie making we will send it to one of the schools doing the Flick It On Challenge and they will record what they think we said then they will send it back to us.

We chose a theme our theme was how learning has changed from pre European school times all the way to the future school times. We had one week to write our story and one week to film our videos and do the rest of our work. There are two other schools involved with our collaboration they are in the north island of New Zealand and in America and last of all us, Richmond School. 

Each part of our movies were 20 seconds each. We worked in groups of 4. We had to include the time which was 3:15, a magic trick and a Rubrics cube. We filmed in Ferrymead after that we filmed at Willow Bank then we filmed in our school I.C.T Room and we filmed in Room 1 and 2 as well.

In The Maōri school time they learnt by talking to each other and singing songs. In the early European times we have classrooms that were wooden and they had fire places. In the present time they have iPad , iPods and all the electronic devises. In the future they may have to wear white overalls and google glasses to school everyday. 

I was in the future part of the movie. The movies I filmed were Pre- European, Early European and the present. The only movie I didn't film was the future because I was acting in the future one. In one of the movies we filmed that class ended at 3:15 so we had to get the clock that had 3:15 on it. There were two time travellers acted by Hannah and Noa who went from one time to the other times. One school will add the music to our movie and the other school will add the dialogue which is the talking and we will do the same for their movies. I was excited. I learnt that school ended at 3:15 in the early European times
