We have digital technology at our school.

Matariki animation

WALT: Create a stop motion, animation movie.

SC: We will:

• Use small movements to capture our story.

• Plan a storyboard

• Limit our film to 2-3 minutes.

• Use Matariki as our topic.

What we learnt and enjoyed.
We really liked making this movie. Everyone else used stop motion but we decided to use Google Slides to show our Matariki movie. We wanted to show how people and animals celebrate Matariki and share a story.
What we will do next time.
We told our audience what was happening in this film. I think we can improve by showing image and action .  We were also well over 31 mins movie limit.

We hope you enjoy

Snake Battle - Stop Motion

WALT: Create a short clip using Stop Motion

SC:  I will make short movements for each shot.

What worked?  I enjoyed working with Chace.  We worked as a good team.  I took the shots.  Chace moved our animations.

We made a 2 mistakes.  There was  a hand seen in the video. Secondly, the movements between shots were too big, don't judge us we're just learning.

The pursuit of independence in the later half of the 19th century in the American colonies developed slowly. As punitive and onerous laws were imposed by the British crown and parliament, resentment grew
 among the American colonists. In 1774 the colonists established a
separate shadow government and began training troops near Boston Massachusetts. After military conflicts in 1875 at Lexington and Concord, and at the of battle at  Bunker Hill, the independence movement gained momentum. George Washington named Commander of the Continental Army in March 1776 and representative  of each colony meet in Philadelphia in June, 1776 to draft the historical declaration of Independence.
