Magpie Cluster Expo!


On Thursday the 6th of September all of the Digi Kidz from Parkvale School and other Schools went to the Havelock North Community center and participated in a digital expo, sharing how our school uses ICT in there learning. Also Hannah, Joshua and me and three others from room 19 got to go and share something about ICT in our school as well as all the others. Above is Our Presentation on a day in a 1:1 digital classroom. I hope that you will enjoy it seeing as we did it right in the middle of production week, so we were really tired. When all the visitors had left and the teachers and parents came, us three decided to sit down and chill. One reason why is because we had our last night of production the same night!

Reflection for the Expo
· Something I was pleased with was having at least an audience to listen to what a day in a 1:1 Digital class is like, because it is nice to see how many people would like to know about what we do.                          

· I really enjoyed learning other stuff about how other Hastings schools use ICT in their learning, because it made me want to try some of their apps and tools at home on the computer, Ipad and Ipod.                   

· Something I found hard was talking over everyone else at the expo, because it was very loud, so loud that I almost lost my voice!


· Something that made me think was what are audience thinking about our presentation and maybe they were thinking of telling their principal about digital classes in their school, because I thought that our presentation was spectacular.

Dress Rehearsals

My funny face, a Rock 'n' Roll move went very wrong there!
This is in front of the Host desk.
Can't you just see how much fun we have in rehearsals!
Here is the classes P.M.I! Plus+ Minus= And Interesting.

Mistakes Happen
Today we had a dress rehearsal and as you can probably see in the picture above. I did a mistake in one of the moves in Rock ‘n’ Roll. My face looks so funny. I did not realise that Kharn the photographer clicked the camera button just as I did that face.
That is all for today but I will tell you much more about the day of the big show!


The Time Has Come
Well today was a dress rehearsal. It was so much fun. It was so amazing and very interesting to see all of the different costumes and makeup that the senior school were wearing. We all had a great time and I know that we all can’t wait for the show tonight. Year sixes have never done a production so we are all very eager to get this one on the road. The stage is all set and the students are ready for a very busy week. As the saying goes “ Busy Little Bumble Bees.“
I think the dress rehearsal went very well.
That is all for now, I will definitely come back tomorrow and tell you about tonight's big show!

Parkvale Live Production Diary


The Creation
Hello I am Felicity and today I found out that I was going to be in Wearable Arts for the senior production. “Parkvale Live. “ All that was going around in my head was what should I do for wearable arts. In about 10 minutes I had made my mind up. I was going to do a super hero cape, made from fabric. With a line of 3 chippie packets down the middle. On each side is fruit burst wrappers. They are only stapled on the top so then they can flick up like feathers on a bird. On the bottom half my name ( Flossie ) is painted with the Olympics. Blue, Red, Black, Green, Yellow. When I was at home and bored I decided to add some more fruit burst wrappers down below on the outline that was left bare at the bottom. I also thought that I better add a mask to make me look like a superhero.

Planning The Event
Today all of the senior school went to the hall to discuss more about the production and what is going to happen. As we were leaving the hall Erin ran up to me and asked me if I wanted to do Rock ‘n’ Roll with Tyrin while choir one sings “We Go Together “ I said sure. So now I am doing Choir, Kapa Haka, Wearable Arts and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Parkvale Live Production.

A Little Tweak Here & A Little Tweak There
Today was so cool. We performed the whole production in front of the team 5 students and teachers. It was a long wait for it to finish, but it was spectacular, I love how the teachers have put it together. So Thank you teachers you have made this production AWESOME. I had Kapa Haka first up then I had Wearable Arts, I then had Rock ‘n’ Roll with Erin & Regan, Thea & Josh and me & Tyrin. After we had Rock ‘n’ Roll Erin and I had to go and sing for the small Choir. After that we were done. The reason why the day went for ever, is because we had to do fix ups and stops every now and then. I can’t wait till the end of the week where we will have a full dress rehearsal before the Monday night show in front of our family and friends.

Chilling Out Helping Others ( Day 4 )
Today we had to finish our Wearable Art designs. I had already finished it so I had to help the rest of the group. While we were doing this the other seniors were doing a bit of a run through and practise on stage without some of the group.  

But Wait There's More
Today we had a run through of the whole Production. We only had the odd stop to say something that had to happen. We started from the very first act to the very last one. Then once we had finished and we were back in class, once again Erin came up to me to ask if I were able to do a dance with Thea, Olivia and herself for Emily and Raiha, in the background of them singing “Locomotion.” Our dance was made up in 15 minutes. The dance has got some pretty cool moves in it. It is funny and AWESOME.

The End Is Near
Today we did another run through of the whole production. It was lots of fun and it was Thea, Erin, Olivia and my first time performing our dance in front of the senior school and the teachers. It was fun, but after the production was finished we had a lot of practise to do. We also had Kapa Haka practise today in the afternoon. I even had Choir practise after the bell rang. We did great work with our practising.
