Vivienne's podcast

HOORAY!!! I have finished my first podcast for this year and apparently it is the first podcast on the KPE blog for 2013 as well. My podcast is called Wolves Of The Beyond written by Kathryn Lasky. My DJ was Marvin and it was a great chance for me to work with someone I never work with. If you would like to check it out click this link My Podcast.

For those of you who don't know what a podcast is you can go to the KPE blog and view some cool podcast created by us Pt England students. If you still don't know what it is keep reading. So the first thing we do is pick a book that we know we are going to enjoy. It is better if we choose a New Zealand author but if we don't have a book written by a NZ author, we can choose any. When we finish reading the book we write a script to inform the audience what its all about. Next we choose a DJ to record it with as well as take pictures. Then we have a choice if we want to edit it by ourselves or get help from our teacher. Then we email Mrs Burt who is in charge of the KPE blog to post our podcast so the whole world can view it. This is basically how we create a podcast. For you this might sound like it is hard but we are use to trying things new. Thats how we can become the best we can be.

My goal this year for podcasting would be to win the end of the year award which is the Best Podcaster. To achieve this I have to create a podcast every term. It would be a great opportunity for me to win. This is the end of my story. I hope you have learnt something new!!! Happy Easter Everyone...

Room 21s Harlem Shake

Do you know what the Harlem Shake is? If you don’t know what the Harlem Shake is look on YouTube Many versions are to be described like a flash mob but even crazier. Harlem is one of the fifty states which represent U.S. People in Harlem are criticized to the dance named Harlem Shake because it is not the true and proper dance.

Room 21 did a Harlem Shake it was so fun when we did it. Students acting like maniacs with a lot props and costumes. We got the opportunity to make one because our principal gave a task to all of the school to make the most funniest video that they could make.

If I were to change something? I wouldn't change a thing because of how awesome the dance is. I really like the Harlem shake and wouldn't mind being in another one.

Harlem Shake is a very popular thing on YouTube. Versions of it include many unique and original ideas. These versions include Sky diving, underwater, washing machine and there was one with Barack Obama in the middle of a meeting.

Assembly Fiafia 2013

Last Friday was our second school assembly for the year. We were in for a treat as Ms Muliaumaseali'i and her students performed items to introduce the start of our practices for Fiafia (Cultural Festival) this term. The following movie was produced by Ashlee and Mele (Year 7). It includes snippets of the assembly and some of the performances. We can't wait until Fiafia night! Thank you to all the performers. They were absolutely fantastic!
