Rich Task

For rich task we are all working together for our big production and hoping it will be awesome. We have all been split into new groups and are working with a different teacher.  Jesse is working with costumes, Catherine, marketing and advertising, Jo for cast, Rachael and Michelle for props and scenery, and Matt for sound and lighting. So far, we are all playing games to get to know our big groups of people better!

The room 5 audience was getting more tense as the year seven speech finals went on. Alicia and Ava did a very good job of delivering their speeches on Wednesday and guess what?  Alicia is going to the year seven and eight finals with her speech about why we shouldn't keep animals in zoos!!! Congratulations to Seamus for winning the year 7 speech finals and we couldn't have done it without Mary and Malcom for being such wonderful judges.

Sculptris magic

Jo has introduced us to a great new 3D animation programme called Sculptris.  We all had a go in the ICT lab and here are some of the amazing creatures we made.
If you fancy a go, you can download the programme for free (it's really quick!) from http://www.pixologic.com/sculptris/.
