Future for filming kids

About 12 o'clock on Thursday 4th November 2010 Teresa from the Franklin County News surprised us with a visit about our Gareth Kean video. She interviewed us and took some photos.

We told her about our roles and the steps - scriptwriting, making props, practising, filming and lastly editing all the parts together to make the movie.

We are excited and overwhelmed that our group was chosen.

Impressive results Room 14!

We won 5-a-side soccer!

Last night our 5-a-side soccer team beat the Waiuku Primary School Rovers 2-0! Hamish scored both goals and Cody missed a lot of goals.

It was great to win becasue we are the only unbeaten team.

Chris plays goalie and he only had a couple of shots coming at him, and he saved them all.

One of the girls in the other team scored, but it was inside the D, so it didn't count - Chris nearly got to it though!

5-aside Soccer

Last night we won 4-1 against Waiau Pa. In our first game we won 5-2 from Travis' own goal when he tried to head it away, it went into the back of the net.

Chris is our keeper and we don't really have positions in the outfield. We swap around so its fair, so everyone gets a turn to strike.

Some of the rules are that if you are the keeper, you can't kick the ball over halfway without it bouncing in your own half.

Another rule is that there are no throw-ins, only kicks, and you can't score from your own half or inside the D.

Our next game is against WPS Tom and MacKenzies' Rovers and we expect to win.

Screenprint imprints

I was inspired by the world wars and how we made friends and started to come together as one whole big family nearly.

I used the craft knife, which is a lot easier to do circles and because of the lighter colour, it made the imprint of the one that was before mine.

Screenprinting is real easy to do - you just need to think of a design and put a little bit of paint on the screen, then put your design under it and then go over it with a squeegee twice - once if possible, and you are ready to do another one.

I chose to screenprint because screenprinting is pretty cool and easy to do, and you can think of lots of designs to do and with the small amount of time, you can do heaps!
