Talent Development!

Today Sophie and I learnt how to use Kid-Pix.

It was so fun but Sophie and I have decided to use Garageband for

our story. We have started to plan what our scenes will look like.

We have done a few and they look awesome.

Here is one we have done!

This one is when the post man is dropping a letter

of to Cleopatra from Savanna her daughter!

Hi Hannah.
You had a busy writing session yesterday!  It was great to see you and Sophie nearing the end of your story writing, and looking towards producing it using either Garageband or Kid-Pix.  You listened, and were patient during the overview of Kid-Pix, and you used the rest of your time wisely to continue with your writing, as well as trying out the new skills you learnt with Kid-Pix.  You always have such a positive, can-do attitude.  It's great to see you working so well.
Katie.

Garageband

Today Katie taught us how to use Garageband, it was awesome.

We learnt how to change the voices to fit what character was speaking. 

We also learnt how to put pictures onto Garageband and to time them with our speaking

 Before we did that Katie read us a chapter of Matilda, we are reading Matilda

because it was written by Roald Dahl and he uses heaps of descriptive words.

Story Writing!

This week for Talent Development we looked at 

Roald Dahl's book "Matilda" - it is awesome. We also listened to an interview on his website! 

We are trying some of the things he does in his writing for our own stories to make them better!

One of my favourite things he did in his stories is word pictures, that is when you

use adjectives to make your characters sound more interesting so that you can picture them in your head!

Talent Development!

Last week during Talent Development Sophie and I were writing our script for our story but we haven't finished it yet we still have to add some things in to make it better!

I hope that when we are finished that it's an amazing story because 
we will be entering it into the New Zealand MADE Awards!
Sophie and I are going to be the voices of the characters so
it is like we are actually the characters!

Talent Development!

Today for Talent Development we started planing our narrative story.

It was awesome!

I am writing my story about a girl in a plane crash.

We had to sort out every section in a narrative so that it is perfect!

I haven't finished my plan yet but I hope it is going to be good!

Term 3 Talent Development

Today was the first day of the term at Enrich so we got to pick what Talent Development we are going to do.

There were three options, Documentary making, Story Writing and Art.

I picked story writing.

Today we started by reading fairy tales and seeing what things they have in common and what things are different.

When we have finished making our stories we are going to enter them into the MADE Awards and the prize is an i-pad for Enrich!
