Libby Bowles - Ocean Conservationist

On Monday Libby Bowles came to visit us on a bamboo bike. Libby Bowles is a Ocean Conservationist. She works a lot under the sea - Studying animals, taking water samples, and cleaning up floating debris, Libby rides around the country on a bamboo bike because it can be recycled if it breaks. She talked about mostly about Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and Turtles. After Libby left, we created a DLO about what we learnt, here it is.

Waimate North Show Ad

A few weeks ago in Te Ngahere, we were learning about the Bay of Islands P&I Show, also known as the Waimate North Show. We created a digital ad to promote the Waimate North Show. We had to add in the cost to get in, events, activities and history. Mine went through to the Waimate North Show and won 1st Place! Our walt was to research the P&I show. Here is my P&I Poster.

4 Shot Video

A couple of weeks ago Te Ngahere started a new task called ‘Lights! Camera! Action!’. In this task we were told to make a storyboard for a 4 shot video. A 4 shot video is a video of only 4 shots, the establishing shot, long shot, medium shot and close up. My group’s video’s scene was the Whare. Our WALT was to tell a story in 4 shots. We had help making our video from Mrs G. Here is the link to our video - Link

Surf Life Safety

On Wednesday we went down to the beach for Surf Life safety lessons. There were three life gaurds, Sam Liam and Tobias. They talked to us about rips and what to be aware of at the beach. Then we played beach games. We were split in two groups. My group played a game called beach flags. Next we played a game with the surf life saving tubes. We had a lot of fun in the water and we learnt lots.

On Monday we went to Bledisloe Domain for Athletics Day. Karetu, Kawkawa, Maromaku, Matatau and Waikare school were there.
