Apii's Hippo

Some of Room 5's children have been working with Mrs. Jarman as part of the initiative called Manaiakalani in order to raise student achievement outcome in speaking and writing. Mrs. Jarman made this movie to show what they have been doing lately. Mrs. Jarman also entered this movie for the FILM FESTIVAL 08.

What a wonderful movie! You people are so clever to have made this. I am at the film festival right now, and I can tell you that everyone in the audience loves this movie too. And we thought your presenters were so brave getting up on stage in front of all the hundreds of people to introduce the movie. They even knew their words better than some of the big kids! Well done Room 5:)

Hi Room 5,

Your movie was very well thought out. Your movie made me laugh and it can easily be done to forget where you put something. Loved the Hippo toy.
When you made the movie, did you have any problems with the hippo falling out of your bag? as the hippo looked bigger than your bag

Dear Room 5,

We really enjoyed your movie! We thought it was hilarious! We liked how Apii didn't realize it was in her bag. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
Your USA Second Grade friends

We think your movie was funny because your hippo was in your bag and you didn't know.
Well done you guys.

Wow what great speaking and acting! Api really looked sad when she couldn't find her hippo. Wasn't it funny that it was in her bag the whole time

I loved the way that the students introduced the movie themselves and were great in doing so! The other thing that I thought was wonderful was that the students who were watching the video were calling out to Apii during the movie and shouting out at the screen "its in your bag!" that was really lovely!
Fantastic work! And it was nice to meet the presenters backstage between takes, I thought about it afterwards I should have asked for a picture, but you know... great ideas afterwards... its hard to think on your feet sometimes!
Well done to everyone it was such a wonderful video!

Well done Room 5!

I thought that Apii was a very good actor because she looked so sad when she couldn't find her hippo. What a cute hippo! Mr Burt said that the presenters for your movie were fantastic at the film festival.

Hey Room 5 QTs!
You rock and so does your movie. Our class will have a look at this tomorrow. We might just have to have a go and be copycats. Your movie is so good.
Do you know the Kiwi Kidsong "Move down the bus"? I think it might be about Apii's hippo.
Well done.

Hi Room 5
Your movie is amazing. I am a teacher in the Montreal area of Quebec, Canada. I teach a grade 1 class of mostly 6 year old boys and girls. I will show them your movie next week. They will love it too. Maybe we can keep in touch with each other. Keep up all your fantastic work.

Kia Ora from Singapore! I enjoyed your video. Look out Shortland Street I say!

We would love to collaborate with you guys on an international project.

We are from an International School in Singapore. We have students from pre-school - grade 4 (a bit like year 5). Maybe your teacher can set something up with our teacher?

Our Grade 2 blog is: http://mrsbuwcgrade2.edublogs.org

Hope to talk soon.
