The Girl Fish-Act 1(Rehearsal) Shadow Puppets

Room 2 this afternoon attempted to record our first try at Shadow puppets. This was a real learning experience that we have reflected on

.

Things we need to improve on:

• White Background required.
• Mr Thurlow needs a tripod to keep the camera shot steady.
• People to reduce the noise in the background, as it picked up by the camera.
• Characters more aware when they are required to come in for their parts.

Here is Room 2's-Rata and the Totara Movie

Room 2 brainstormed the learning around the activity " Rata and The Totara Tree"

We discussed the Key Competencies( It is a term that Room 2 is starting to be introduced too) that were involved in the activity

Thinking - We were, as we all had to be creative and make decisions.
Managing Self - We were, as we had to make plans, be resourceful by finding books with illustrations of Maori legends and completed work to a high standard.
Relating to others -We were, we worked with others in an effective manner and we had a "can do attitude"

We thought the "Rata and The Totara" taught us that we should ask for permission before doing something. Also we should look after nature.
