TE PUKE EXCHANGE

Once upon a time there was a couple of elf's... OK I will stop with the fairy tail stuff. A couple days ago Vardon School techsperx went on an exchange with Te Puke school. It was hard out WACKO by that I mean it was AWESOMENESS!!! It started by meeting up at the Hamilton museum because we were going to the how to make a monster exhibition. That took most of the day away but after that we went to WATER WORLD!!! There we went on the hydro slides. Man, was it fun. When I went on the black tube folded my arms and legs and went up the WALL and unfortunately what goes up must come down so I fell down landing on my stomach? Yeah, it was it my stomach. Then we went back to Vardon School and set up our beds. The cool thing was the Te Puke school brought 5 iPads and Loads of iPods so we played on them. When it got dark we had some dinner and lucky for me because it was HAMBURGERS!!! After that we settled into our beds but don't worry we couldn't of gone to bed that early so we watched a movie MONSTERS VS ALIENS!!! I am really using capitals for this post. Halfway throughout the movie the teachers brought some biscuits into the room so of course there was a scramble for them. Did you know that the most dangerous thing on earth is an angry and hungry pack of kids? when the movie was over it was time for bed but you know what's its like when children (especially girls) have sleepovers. Chatter, Chatter, Sneeze, Chatter, Talk, Cough, Talk. When got to sleep it was probably 1:00 in the morning. But guess what we woke up at 6:00. We had breakfast which was toast or weet-bix and then we went out to PLAY ON THE PLAY GROUND!!! Yeah, I exaggerated a bit it wasn't that exciting. The rest of the day was just showing Te Puke around and hanging about but after lunch it was time for Te Puke to leave Vardon. So, yeah was a cool day... OK now I just under exaggerated. Here it comes...

IT WAS AN AWESOMENESS DAY!!!!!

STOP MOTION!!!!!!

Do you want to slide around on your face? If you do stop motion can help you!!

Stop motion is taking lots of photos and putting it together to make a video.

To make a stop motion film you need to have a tripod for your camera, a digital camera and a computer with video editing software like Video Spin, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.


Here are the steps to make your stop motion film.
First you have to make a plan for your stop motion.
After that, make a good setting relating to your video scene (make sure it is not too sunny).
Then you have to repeatedly take photos of your actors and props but with each photo you take you must move the scene, the people and the props.
After that you have to insert the camera into the computer and put the photos you took into the video editing software.

Now you can add music and sound affects to your stop motion. You can also make the movie longer or shorter by clicking and dragging a photo to make the photo show for longer or shorter time.

Now have fun sliding on your face and promote it any way you like.

Just remember ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

LAKE KARAPIRO

The senior syndicate went on a school trip

yours,

Bailey

P.S

On Tuesday morning mostly everybody in the senior syndicate went on a school trip to the lake Karapiro dam to check out how hydro electric power works. 2 things that I learnt were that the Karapiro dam took 15 years to build and that 11 seconds of releasing water could full up 2 Olympic size swimming pools. What surprised me about the dam was when they were releasing water it went so fast. In my head I was thinking about what a great water slide it would be. Two questions I have for the dam is how do you control the dam? How do you make the gates go down or up?

Now I must leave Good bye, Good bye.

Like seriously BYE!!!!!!!!

Global School Project

At school(aaaaaaaah I'm even scared when I say it) we have to email lots of different schools in different countries and ask them to take ten photos so we can see what it is like at school in different cultures.(I say "different" to much) After we get all the photos we will put them on our school blog and flickr page. We would also send them a link to both of those things.
One thing I would like to learn about using email is to find out what the BCC thing means.

SEGREGATION

Segregation is a very bad thing. It separates white people from black.


At school I learnt that segregation can cause lots of harm and violence. I also learnt that Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr did a boycott to hurt the bus companies for making a rule that blacks had to give their seats up for white people. When Rosa Parks did not give up her seat I was amazed because she knew she was going to go to jail. When she went further with this boycott she won a Nobel medal. When she died Martin carried on even though his house was bombed ,he was stabbed in the chest and he went to jail many times he still carried on. He won a peace prize and was the youngest person to win this. My question about segregation is how did segregation start? and why did they think that white people are better than black? Post a comment if you know.
