Bigfoot Bicycle Training!

Hi Guys, I'm back. for two days we were learning and refreshing, on how to ride bikes. The first day we just learned about the safety of biking. The first thing we talked about was the type of clothing you wear, like: closed toed shoes, non baggy pants, t-shirt and you legally have to wear a helmet. Then we talked about the bike. One thing we checked up on, was the four point check. This meant to: check your brakes, air in your tyres, reflectors and your tyre lever. Then we actually got on our bikes. First we needed to fit into our helmets. Then we got onto our bikes and rode around the field. Afterwards, we rode around the court a couple times and then stopped for lunch. When lunch finished we got onto our bikes again, and did relays on the school field. Then we rode along the court and high-fived the instructors, while pedalling. Here are some photos.

Hi guys, I'm back. Last week we had our school production. We had three shows that were on Wednesday night, Thursday night and a Friday matinee. This was outstanding and gave us experience on stage. This week we have been reflecting on it, by making six thinking hats. The six thinking hats are information, positive, negative, feelings, creativity and reflection. 

Hope you enjoy!

Production was amazing, because I had been in production before but I was never in the main cast. I thought that this work was quite easy, but was challenging with the blue hat.

Ako Hiko Film Festival!

Hi guys, I'm back. Last term we made movies for the first annual Ako Hiko film festival. Leading up to this we looked at different shot like close up, wide shot, medium shot and dynamic shots. Another thing we did for a warm up exercise, and made knock-knock jokes. My one was about lettuce. After that we made our script. My group had Ben, Toby, Alex and me in it. Our movie had to be something about change. When we wrote our script we agreed that it would be about someone, that could change objects. I was supposed to be the main character, but I was away for one of the days so Ben was changed to it. Hope You Enjoy!

Here are some shots that we used in the film.

I really liked making these films, because it gave us experience in film making and helped us work in teams. I think me and my group did really well and I like our film.
