Home Learning Term 4

The holidays are over and I hope you all had a chance to relax because we've got a busy and exciting term ahead!

Here's is this term's Home learning challenge. There are 5 challenges to choose from, check out the details below.

Instructions

Task 1: Write a movie Review. Pick and watch a movie.  Before watching, have a look at the movie review questions. After watching the movie, complete the review. Make sure you write in full sentences. These reviews are a good copy, which we will display and share on the blog, so make it presentable!

Task 2: Write a biography or profile of your favourite actor/actress. Research about your favourite actor or actress. Where are they from? How old are they? What they did to become famous? Complete the template, you can print a picture of the person or draw them. These reviews are a good copy, which we will display and share on the blog, so make it presentable!

Task 3: Write a story (or read a short story/play) and film it.  You can do this in a small group of no more than 3 people. If you need more characters, you can use props/costumes to play different parts. Don’t forget to ask people at home to help if you need it. Before filming, make sure you have practised your story, what you are going to say, where you are going to stand etc. Allana and Whaea Alice have some scripts if you need inspiration.

Task 4: Create a movie poster using ICT. Research some popular kid’s movie posters. What do they have? Title, catch-phrase, actor’s names etc. Create a poster advertising the release of your favourite movie or one you have seen recently. This is an ICT challenge, so you can use different apps and programs, such as drawing apps, Pages, Microsoft Word (templates), comic life, or pic-collage. Come and talk to Allana if you need ICT help.

Task 6: Learn your mihi by heart Practise your mihi so you can say it without looking at the words. Record your mihi for the blog but remember to leave out your whanau and parent’s last names so we don’t have your first name and last name on the blog. Come and get some help if you are stuck with the pronunciation.
