This is Me and Zita’s Playdough stopmotion.

It was quite hard to make the  playdough roll smoothly across the screen. I think we did a good job at  making it form from a ball to a caterpillar.

I found it really fun to slowly move and shape the playdough.

I think next time we should try to slow the movement of the caterpillar to make it look more realistic.

The Hunted School of Rawhiti

Tap, Tap, Tap, You press lightly onto rainbow glowing keys that shined a bright as the sun shining down on a dim winters eve. You look up out the window into the starry night sky, the moon is shining brightly through your window. Its as quiet as waves on a beach coming slowly up to shore at low tide. You look down at your keys and start to type again into the shining keys.

Today in inquiry we were leaning about our school history, it cool leaning about how the three schools central new Brighton, Freville and north new Brighton, we had a list of clues to follow which led us to lots of different places in the school grounds, here is what we found

And your off. you’re hundreds of meters above the ground and if  you take one wrong move your gone.

you look down into the canon below, your feet are trembling , its a very long way down. You wonder if you should turn back or if you should keep going, you have butterfly’s flying around in your  stomach.

Your already half way so you keep going one small step at a time. The sun is setting and you’ve been on the same rope for fifteen minutes your still going  your nearly at the end so you hold your breath for the last few steps and … DONE

your at the end and you feel annoyed and revealed that you’ve finished, you feel like you had accomplished something big and brilliant today and you can’t wait to do something tomorrow

On a hot summers day you walk through a stone alleyway. You have bare feet and they are toasting on the dark stone floor. You feel a breeze of frosty air coming from a giant tunnel, where is it coming from?  Its the middle of summer you poke your head around the corner of the tunnel. You feel your face go pink because of the cold, you step inside and your feet start to freeze.  Water is dripping from the roof and touch your toes you continue to walk through the tunnel. As you get further inside the tunnel it starts to grow smaller and smaller until you are on your hands and knees. You start to shiver and then you finally get to the end and pop out you look around its like magic its snowing!

As

I walk through the big hot, damp giant greenhouse I look up to see gigantic dark green waxy leaves making a canopy above.

I continue walking as I hear a rushing river with giant water lilies and I can see brightly coloured macaws flying around the tips of the trees. I spot luminous colours in terrific vines twisting and twirling their way up to the tops of the tree trunks.

I hear the sound of a chainsaw starting up and I can sense CO2 in the air which increases the rate of global warming. Animals are rushing out of the forest and their homes.
