Last week was Samoan Language Week. In Scott Class we are very luck to have some expert Samoan Language speakers. They helped us learn how to have a basic conversation in Samoan.
We then recorded them and had a go at using a green screen to make it look like they were in Samoa!
We are all very excited about using our green screen to take us all over the world! Keep an eye out to see where we go next.

Week 6 - Stop motion animation
On Thursday we had a visit from Tania, she taught us how to create stop motion animation using an app on our Chromebooks.
First we looked at some examples from other schools Tania has worked with, then we had a quick introduction to the stop motion animation app. Then it was time to get in and have a go!
It was great to see the children in Scott class working together as teams, allowing their imaginations to run wild and come up with some awesome animations.
Have a look at our individual blogs to see our animations.
Here is Alaskah, Saunoa & Tai's animation Papas Pizziria.

Are you a leapling?
Today is the 29th of February, did you know we only have the 29th of February every four years!
For the children in Scott class this is only the third time they have experienced had the 29th of Feb.
Today we did watched a youtube clip which explains why leap years occur, then we wrote our own explanations.
Here is one that was a collaborative effort from Tai, Osana, Manahal, Alaskah and Sami.
What is a leap year? We discovered that a leap year is a year that has 366 days. A normal year has 365.25 days, but we can’t have a day that is only six hours (or .25 of a day) long! So we have a thing called a Leap Year. Leap years occur every four years. They occur because we have to catch up the extra six hours per year. Because it takes 365 days to orbits the sun.Six hours each year for four years adds up to 24 hours which is the same as one day. So in a leap year we have an extra day. It is the 29th of February. A Leapling is someone who was born on the 29th of February. They only have their birthday every four years.
