Manaikalani Film 2012 / School is Cool

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

My Explanation about how Electricity travels.

            Have you ever wondered how electricity travels ?


We need electricity to cook food, freeze meat and to clean.

Did you know electricity starts  in a power station and in the power station there is a generator. The generator is a machine that creates electricity.The generator is powered from different forms of energy like wind, water or coal.


From there, it goes to the distribution lines which carry the electricity to a substation. Then the power lines carries it to our homes where we use it to power our lights and more.
