Paroa Film Festival?

This week I attended a workshop on Learn - Create - Share. Up in the North Island, there is a group of schools called Manaiakalani (The hook from heaven). They are special because they work very closely together to share their learning with each other, their families and the world! Every year they hold a Film Festival. Each of the 11 schools enter films from all levels in their school. They book out an iMax theatre and watch them with their peers, family and community. What do you think about this? Could we do this as a whole school fundraiser? Could the ICT Committee work with students and teachers to up skill them on iMovie? Click on the picture below to watch some of their amazing work.

Outstanding exemplar analysis from Jacob!

Jacob has really 'raised the bar' this week with his analysis of a piece of persuasive writing. Using this exemplar as a benchmark, Jacob has gone on to craft a very powerful letter of complaint. Well done Jacob, hopefully this will inspire your classmates with their analyses.
