Our Ako Hiko Film Festival Entries

Kia or Bloggers,

Every year Kauri Team students write, film and edit their own original movies. Here are the 6 we chose to share at the Ako Hiko Film Festival. The rest can be found on our individual learning blogs. Check them out! We are so amazed at all the incredible ideas students had!  You can see each student’s own edited film on their blog. So what are you waiting for? Go check them out!

The Den’s Maritime Museum Trip

The Den had a fantastic time at The Maritime Museum on Tuesday! The weather was perfect, and our sailing trips took us under the Auckland Harbour Bridge, where we saw bungee jumpers leaping off the bridge which added to our excitement.

At the museum we learnt about the migration of people throughout the world, and how Aotearoa was the last landmass to be populated.  People are still choosing to come to New Zealand to live, as it is such an amazing place.

Check out our day in pictures….

We also got to count down the cannon that is fired at the museum every day at 12noon.  The museum staff were VERY impressed when we did this in Te Reo Maori!

Can you count down backwards from ten in Te Reo?
