Rippa rugby

Hey everyone last Wednesday me and 9 other children went to Swabrick park to play rippa rugby. We played 3 against Frankton, 1 against St Pias and 1 against whatawhata. We lost with St pias, we drew with Frankton and we won 3 games. I didn't get the ball much but I did lots of ripping.

Stop motion explanation

Want to see something incredible you’ve never seen before? Ok then read on.

A stop motion is where you take lots of photos of something and make a video out of the photos.

The main things you need to make a stop motion is a tripod, camera, video editing software, video spin, windows movie maker, imovie, sound effect, music and a computer.

First you have to plan your stop motion. Second you have to put your camera on the tripod. Third set your stop motion animation. Then go to where you want to take your photos. Then take a photo of the empty background and then put the things in front of the screen and then click another photo then move the object a tiny bit and then get another photo and keep doing that until you have hundreds of photos. Once you have taken your photos put them onto video editing software or video spin. Next decide if you want a side effect or not. Then put some background music and then play your stop motion and see if it’s your way. Last publish it.

Now you know how to make a stop motion. Now all your photos will be changed into a video. Now it’s your turn to make it, something incredible, something you’ve never seen or done before.

Kara piro dam

Last Tuesday we went to Kara piro dam. 2 things I learnt at Kara piro dam were that the dam only opens 2-3 times a year and that it was built in 1944. what surprised me about the dam was that fast coming water from the up. What speed is the water that comes down.

Stop motion

We have been doing stop motion animation.
Stop motion is when you stand still and someone gets a photo of you then you move a tiny bit and someone gets a another photo of you. You have to get thousands of photos then you have to download them onto to a Internet website and it makes a video of the photos. In our practice stop motion we stood still then Mr M took a photo of us then we moved a little bit forward and still we were standing straight. We took about thirty photos total. After clicking some photos some of us then came to the back of the camera and then at the end only one person was standing and then she came back too. In the stop motion video it looks like we are slipping on the grass and then we are disappearing. The videos about 10 seconds long. To make it longer you have to click more photos. In our final stop motion we will make it about sustainability because that is our topic. I am really excited about it.

Introducing me

Hi, my name is Sabrina.

I am year 6.

One place I would like to go is Canada because I wnt to be in minus 20 temprature and I want to be in a snowfall.

My parents were born in India but they moved to NZ because they liked NZs weather more than India.

My favourite place to go in Hamilton is THE BASE because I like shopping.

Some things I love are sports, computer games, animals and iPad games.

This is a collage portrait of me. To make this I had to cut pictures from the magazine and glue them onto my t-shirt, next I had to cut some green coloured paper and glue it onto the background. Third I had to cut some strips from my coloured photo and glue it onto my black and white photo.
