Video Editing with iMovie

Grade 5 creates 'info-mercials' with MacBooks. They are having a fantastic time exploring a different system. They usually use windows movie maker, but since we are recording a lot of videos with the iPod Touches, it makes more sense to use iMovie, the Apple video editing programme! What a great experience for our students, to be able to explore both systems!

Purple Mash

We are so excited to have the chance to trial the educational programme 'Purple Mash'! We introduced it last Monday and so far we had a great response from the teachers as well as the students! From Prep up to Grade 5 everybody wanted to try and see what the programme has to offer! Here are only a few examples of what the children explored!! Enjoy...

German - Prep Class

The children from Prep came with Mrs Grassnick to work in the Media Centre. They had a great time and thought it was really interesting to explore our educational websites to find out all about Mini Beasts! Well done Prep!

Prep 2 testing the 'new' Starfall

Prep 2 came to the Media Centre to test the new Starfall! They were very engaged and loved the challenge to find out everything about the new games and programmes on there! They all enjoyed exploring the programme! In the end they all said they want to come back soon and do that again!

Das ist KEIN Karton!

Here is a short film made by the Grade 2 Intermediate German class based on the book, 'Das ist kein Karton!' by Antoinette Portis. The students made their drawings during a previous lesson and made the film with an iPod Touch during a visit to the Media Centre.

A Play by Chloe, Shinri, Yota & Jason

Mrs Gillert came to the Media Centre with her EAL Group to work on their play. They recorded the play 'A boy in the wheelchair' which is based on the play 'A Girl in the Wheelchair' by Brenda B. Covert. They recorded it with the great Easy-Speak microphones and then we uploaded it to the voicethread account. All of them wrote a little description about what they have learned and that we uploaded them as well!
Please enjoy their great performance by clicking on the link below!!
