Term 3 learning goal

Charlotte F

Hello Readers,
recently in class 6T we have set term 3 learning goals. I decided to set my goal on the education of fitness. This year I would like to dedicate my spare time to become fitter and stronger. This is my smart goal for term three:

My term three S.M.A.R.T. goal

Goal: I would like to become more fit

S- specific
I would like to exercise on a daily basis to increase my health and amount of fitness I complete on a daily basis
M-measurable
I will know I have completed my goal after completing numerous fitness challenges including the junior school athletics carnival (the 1500, 200, 100 and long jump), the school fitness test at the end of the year, netball this term, the P.E weekly Rosie run, cycling and eating healthier and more balanced.
A-achievable
This goal is achievable for me for I have completed many sports and fitness tests before such as Ipsha swimming for school, school sports, and numerous swimming carnivals. Also I have achieved fast cycling scores before. Exercise is also achievable for me because I have already started training with my sister for the athletics carnival.
R-realistic
I will complete this goal with encouragement of my friends and family and motivation of my sister.
T-timely
My goal’s time will be set for mostly term three but the whole accomplishment of getting fit will be finished at the end of the year.

That was my term three smart goal and I hope you readers think it is S.M.A.R.T.

Fossil Fuels and the Future Essay

Charlotte F

Hello World,
Charlotte here with some exiting news from tuesday, for school there was a competition open for roseville rotary. You could create an essay or speech and one would be chosen from the school to present in the rotary competition. The topics chosen for the speeches in my school were for the essay: Fossil fuels and the Futue, and for the speech: Our new classroom furniture in year 6. I decided to do the essay and I was very exicited to find out that I was going to rotary! It was on tuesday night. I presented the essay (I was very nervous) and the girl I was competing with was encredibly good and had a great essay based on the topic “Courage”. It was very close but I ended up acheiving a plark stating my winning at rotary that I could keep and my name on the sheild they keep at rotary which also has other names of people who have won in the past, it was a great experince for me and I really enjoyed it.

Passion/Action…

Hello World,
here to breif you up on my Passion Action. As I am creating music videos for my project there are lots of different elements to the proccess of making the music videos. Firstly, the songs of my videos are: 1) See you again by Wiz Khalifa, 2) Titanium by David Guetta, 3) Shutup and Dance by Walk the moon. The pros of recent filming and editing were today I got permission to use a camera to record some people dancing and having fun at my school. It is amazingly fun to brainstorm different ways of filming and shooting and the structure and storyline of my videos. The cons are with the music I can not download it on the app, I have to record from another device and it is extremly hard to make sure there is no noise in the backround. Sometimes it can be difficult to get the timing or come up at all of my footage. Thanks for tuning in,

Hi Everyone,
My very recent “Passion/Action…” was about how I was having difficulties with my movie. Well I have decided that since I might not be able to accomplish this goal I will be doing something along the lines of my movie. In the end of my movie I was going to do a music video to end the movie good, so I remember creating different dance combinations and different aspects to it. I really enjoyed this experience so I have decided to create a music video for my passion of wanting to film & direct, still have actors dancing, structering all the different aspects and especially along with filming learning the technique of this, like the right angles, lighting, scenery and clothing. I will probably be using the app “Imovie” for many reasons- mostly that it can edit, you can voice over and the there is many affects for filming that I can use. I am very excited for this project and can’t wait to get started- I will probably tonight. My chose of song that I am using for my music video is Shutup and Dance by walk the moon.

By the way if any Rosie girls are reading this if you possibly want to be in one of my music videos let me know- It will only be for one day I will need you.

Hello Readers,
I just want to breif you up on whats going on in “Passion Action” terms. Well things are going ok. I have created my movie script and have a basic idea of the filming scedule, sometime on monday, friday and saturday. I have a few actors but I have had a few bumps on the journey: It looks I might have gone a bit to far into all the rehersals and film dates, I was intending on having girls in my year, Year 6 act in my movie but a lot of them have comitments and ofcourse passion projects like me and I am struggling in finding whom I am filming. I probably went a bit far ahead without reaising and did not understand how much comitment I was asking. But I am coping and I’m sure it will be all right in the end, I just need to keep a grip on the wheel and try to sit comfortably in the car seat. if it comes to worst I can always change climate,I could make an animated movie or stopmotion. As my favourite quote says- “It is hard to fail but it is worse to have never tried to succeed.”-Theodore Rosevelt

Mermaid for a musical

Charlotte F

In the junior school every 2nd year we perform a musical. This year we are doing an exciting musical on…

The little Mermaid!

It is going to be so fun and an exciting experience for all the junior school. There are main character roles with acting & singing, some just singing roles and some just acting roles. Years
5 & 6 got to audition (including me). I was very nervous at the acting & singing auditions and thought I would not get something… but I found out I got a main role- which is Grimsby. Grimsby is Prince Eric’s droll valet who was very close to Prince Eric’s father and promised to the Princes father that he would turn Prince Eric “from a roustabout into a royal.”. Unfortunately I can not be in the class song (each class in the junior school has a song that they perform) but I will still get to sing in around 2 or 4 songs and act. The little Mermaid herself will be a friend of mine, girl in year 6 who is a great actor who suits Ariel’s personality very good. I will be in 2 scenes with her so that will be fun but I do not get to be “Under the sea” because I stay with prince Eric in most of the scenes I am in. All of the junior school will be performing & singing in the musical, so it will be an exciting and fun experience for the whole of years k-6.

I can’t especially wait for costume try on, that is one of the funnest things for me.
-And stay tuned for more info on the musical.

Passion/Action…

Today at school my year 6 class found out we were going to be doing our passion projects! What that means is that each student in year 6 shall choose a passion to do a project on for a long term project, throughout term 2. Things like maybe choosing some ancient family recipes and making them into a cook book whilst cooking the recipes at home would be the sort of thing you would do. In the past other students have done things like designing and sewing dresses, learning about photography or learning how to play a new instrument or build something new. Our basic instructions are to build,learn, make or create something new that we haven’t experienced before.

After a lot of thinking I first thought of making a claymation but I decided that it would be difficult because I don’t have proper voice recording equipment and I had done it before in class so I decided not to do that but maybe something quite similar. Later I realised since I have a passion also for acting I might create a short film! It should be fun and exciting since I have not yet experienced directing, scripting, creating and editing and possibly acting in a short film before. This film will include some of my friends (and possibly me) plus my dog Milo and perhaps some family members. I have decided on making the short film around 10-15 minutes. I will also create a trailer for the presentation in the school just so the short film can be viewed by year 6 but for the school presentation I feel the movie will be to long.

I am very soon going to be starting the script and I can’t wait for this exciting project. I will be posting weekly on this project so stay tuned.
