Top Team Challenge

Top Team Challenge 

On the 29th of October 2013 we had the top team challenge. The top team challenge is hosted by Sports Canterbury. We also invited Linwood North, Shirley  Primary, Banks Avenue and Seabrook mackenzie. 

The challenges were the question of balance, the caterpillar, memory maze, sack race, hoop toss, egg and spoon race, jig saw and the puzzle.

I thought the top team challenge was a bit boring because we had to wait for a long time and when I had to hold on to the tar pollen it made my arms really sore especially when the game started.

In my opinion I think my team had a good time but at the end I got a bit bored.

The Flick it on challenge

 Hi I am going to tell you about the " Flick it on challenge" my class and I are doing. In the flick it on challenge we have to make a silent movie, the movie has to be one minute long, we had to include the time 3:15, a magic trick and a rubrics cube. We were also allowed to choose our theme, our theme was how education has changed over the years.

 There are two other schools from up north and the USA involved with our movie. When our school, the school up north and the school in the USA have finished we send our movies to each other.The school in the US will put the music in. Then they send the movie to the school up north, they will put the dialogue in and then they send it back to us. 

Then we get to watch the movie and the same thing happens to the other schools movies. When we all have finished their movies we send them back to the school up north and the school in the US so we can watch the finished product. The theme we have chosen is looking at how children have learnt over time but their movies maybe about something totally different.

 We started with the Pre European Scene which we filmed at Willow Bank at the little maōri village, the actors were John, Rodney, Salote, Jakita, Hannah and I. In Ferrymead we filmed the Early European scene in the cramped up class room. The class was cramped the class had a two rows of three wide desks and a row of five small desks.

I have really enjoyed this challenge and learnt a lot.
