The clue for tomorrow's GOTD is...
" I lived on Mauritius but sailors ate me. I guess you could say I am as dead as a _ _ _ _ ."
Tomorrow is PJ day (again) for the whole school. Also, please do not forget to pack your red reading folders as Mr. Richardson would like to see them.
In science we looked at Foley artists who use objects to make sounds in TV shows and films. We decided we are going to make our own short videos and add in Foley afterwards. We picked a partner and began to discuss some ideas and play around making different sounds with things in the classroom.
Penny discovered that two metal rulers together can sound like a sword fight.
Levi and Paasha snapped popsicle sticks to simulate a crackling campfire.
Sage found out that crumpled paper can sound like someone walking across snow or crunch leaves.
In English we made a short text to practise the -CK sound. We are going to continue to edit this together as a class and look at adding some more verbs and adjectives to make our work exciting.
For example:
'He washed his socks' might become: 'He scrubbed his stinky brown socks in a rusty metal bucket.'
We looked at an editing checklist that we are going to be using with our writing in French and English which includes tips such as:
- Have I reread my work?
- Did I circle any words I am not sure how to spell?
- Did I tell the who, where, when, why and how?
In French we did a listening comprehension activity. Mr Richardson read a short passage and students had to listen and draw the correct image based on what they heard.
Ask me : What is Foley?
What ideas do I have for my foley project? Can I make any unusual noises using things found at home? ( Sorry Parents!)
What do Geisha look like? What did I learn about Geisha?
