Maui and The Giant Fish by Ezra and Zac

After reflection we have improved our video

Maui and the Giant Fish by Ezra and Zac

This first attempt is quite short so we want to try again and add more detail.

The Kiwi and the Cat by Kiriwai and Tarjzon

Kiwi poked predator cat so cat ran away and hid. Kiwi's egg rolled around but it hatched safely.

Maui and the Giant Fish by Jared and Mitchell

Maui hid in the waka and went fishing. He punched himself on the nose and used his blood for bait. As soon as he had thrown his magic jawbone, he felt a big tug. He pulled and pulled until a giant fish came to the surface. It became the North Island of New Zealand according to the legend.

The Snail Race in Insectopia by Cilla, Matthew, Gyanne, Zoe and Sarah

Alien Destruction by Emily and Zac.

My sister and I experimented at home with animation. Using my lego and other toys we created this video. However, we know that next time we need to start with a basic story that has a beginning, middle and end. It was fun anyway

Kiwis for Kiwis - An Animation by Jesse, TK and Tarquinn

Ethan and Will's Animation - Car Aliens - The Full Movie

Wynter-Rose - Lego Friends Episode 1

I have been learning how to create animations at school. Today I got to bring my chromebook home so I decided to create an animation at home. I got a bit bored at home so I stared at my lego and I decided I would just start playing with it. I remembered I had my chromebook so I decided to make an animation. The story begins with a family and their horse. They are cooking chicken while the horse is outside. The next day they go out for pizza and when they come home they go to sleep. When they wake up they go to the cafe and get a piece of cake and when they return to their home they are sad to find their horse has been run over. Watch out for Episode 2.... Wynter-Rose

Native Kiwi by Saffyre .Room 6 has been learning to use poetry devices like alliteration, simile, hyperbole, personification, metaphor and onomatopoeia.

Kiwi
Kiwi dashing here and there,
Sliding through the forest floor,
Crunching crickets,mantis munching,beetle battling,


Kiwi peeks through the darkness
and damp of the tangled ferns,


Night covers the forest like a blanket,
Then turns to day as fast as putting frosting on a cake


Crack!crack! Kiwi’s egg is breaking!
Baby kiwi pops out and searches for its dad.
Goodnight kiwi!!! File:Kiwi (PSF).png

Alien Kid ShakeOut by Will, Zoe and Mia




We have been learning about how to use Stop Motion Animation and WeVideo to create stories.  We have made this animation especially to share at our Kaikohekohe Digital Learning Symposium at Northland College.  We will be sharing our animation with other students as well as teaching them how to use the apps to create their  own animations.  We have also written a step by step guide as part of our procedural writing.  We are very excited to be going to the Symposium and sharing our learning.  Thanks to Tania, our fantastic Manaiakalani Outreach Facilitator.

Kiwis for Kiwi. They live on.

As part of Save the Kiwi month of October, Room 6 has been reading about kiwis and their characteristics. Wynter- Rose and Jasmine wrote a simple story about kiwis and then used Stop Motion and We Video to create a video with animation.
