Little Red Riding Hood Storyboard

In fairytales and fables, we made our final project. I made a storyboard about Little Red Riding hood. 

Little Red: Play

In fairy tales and fables, we made our drafts for our final project. This is my second draft. It is a play about Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red

Characters: Narrator, Little Red, Mother, Wolf, Grandmother, Woodsman, Wolf 2

Narrator: Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful girl. Her grandmother gave her a lovely red cloak and that's why many call her little red. One day, her mother asked her to deliver some goods to her sickened grandmother.

Little Red: "Did you call me mother?"

Mother: "Yes darling, your mother is very ill. I want you to deliver these goods to her."

Little Red: "Yes mother."

Narrator: Little red riding hood went through the forest, she picked some flowers when suddenly...

Wolf: "Good morning Little Red, where are you off to, this early in the morning."

Little Red: "I'm off to my grandmother's house to deliver her some bread and honey and milk and..."

Wolf: "Does she live far from here, Little Red?"

Little Red: "No, not at all. She lives in a little house just across the forest."

Wolf: "Well then Little Red, I'm off, catch you later."

Narrator: Little Red, found some flowers and decided to collect them for her grandmother. Meanwhile, the wolf knocks on the grandmother's door.

Grandmother: "Who's there?"

Wolf: (soft voice) "It's me, grandmother, Little Red. I have brought you a basket full of bread."

Grandmother: "Come in my little angel. Just push the door."

Narrator: As soon as the wolf entered the house, he gobbled her up. He went into the grandmother's room and put on her gown. A few minutes later, Little Red arrived at grandmother's house. She knocked on the door.

Wolf: (soft voice) "Who's there?"

Little Red: "It's me grandmother, Little Red. I have brought you a basket full of bread."

Wolf: (soft voice) "Come in my little angel, just push the door."

Narrator: Little Red went into the house, there she found her grandmother lying in bed. She seemed a little odd.

Little Red: "Oh, what big ears you have, grandmother!"

Wolf: (soft voice) "All the better to hear you with."

Little Red: "Oh, what big eyes you have!"

Wolf: (soft voice) "All the better to see you with."

Little Red: "Oh, and what big teeth you have!"

Wolf: "All the better to eat you with! Ha Ha Ha!" 

Narrator: The wolf gobbled up Little Red. The wolf then fell asleep, snoring audibly. Meanwhile, a woodsman was passing by the house, when he hears the snoring. He entered, looking for the old woman when he saw the wolf.

Woodsman: "Oh no! The wolf has eaten grandmother. But he is sleeping."

Narrator: The woodsman grabbed his ax and opened the wolf's stomach, revealing Little Red and grandmother. Who were miraculously still in one piece.

Little Red: "Thank you, kind swordsman!"

Narrator: Little Red went home unscathed. One day, she was told to bring grandmother more bread. On the way, she met a different wolf.

Wolf 2: "Good morning Little Red, where are you off to, this early in the morning."

Little Red: "I'm off to my grandmother's house to deliver her some bread."

Narrator: Little Red ran to her grandmother's house and warned her about the wolf.

Grandmother: "Come, we will shut the door so that he may not get in."

Narrator: Soon after, the wolf came knocking on the door.

Wolf 2 (soft voice): "It's me grandmother, Little Red. I have brought you a basket full of bread."

Narrator: The pair did not answer. After that, the wolf got up the roof to wait until Little Red got home and eat her. Then the grandmother thought of a brilliant idea. She looked at the trough outside, then to Little Red.

Grandmother: "Little Red, I was boiling sausages yesterday. So take the bucket and pour the water in the trough."

Narrator: Little Red followed her instructions. When the smell of the sausages reached the wolf's nose, he snuffed the air. He looked around and he stretched his neck so far that he lost his balance. The wolf fell and drowned in the trough, and Little Red went home unscathed.

THE END.

Little Red: Poem

In fairy tales and fables this week, we have been working on our draft for our final project. This is my first draft out of two. My first one is a poem.

Once there was a little girl.

She is known as little red.

She departed for her grandmother's house

To go supply her with some bread.

She took a stroll through the forest

When a wolf appeared and then he said,

"Where are you off to little red?"

"I'm going to my grandmother's house.

Well then, I'm going on ahead."

Little did she know that the wolf was up to no good.

He planned to have the grandma and little red as food.

When little red arrived at grandma's,

She thought she saw her there in bed.

'What big ears, eyes and teeth you have' she said,

And the wolf, disguised as grandma, ate her up.

The wolf fell asleep on the grandmother's bed.

Meanwhile, a hunter walked past the house.

He walked in and aimed his rifle on the wolf's head.

He slit the wolf's stomach to find the two.

Thankfully, the pair survived.

Then, they replied with a thank you.

Once there was a little girl.

She is known as little red.

She departed for her grandmother's house

To go supply her with some bread.

She walked along the forest to meet a different wolf.

She ran to her grandmother's house,

As agile as a mouse.

She warned her 

And they bolted all of the doors and windows shut.

'Let me in, I'm little red'

The wolf said.

The grandmother came up with an idea.

She had boiled some herbs the day before, 

To fix her diarrhea.

'Use the water to fill up the trough'

The grandmother said with a cough.

On the roof, the wolf hungrily stood.

He smelled the herbs and has mistaken them for food.

The wolf lost his balance and fell off.

He struggled and fortunately, drowned in the trough.

Little red went home unscathed.

And on her own trough,

She peacefully bathed.

The End.

Esmeralda

In fairy tales and fables today, we finished our retelling of Cinderella. Here is what I wrote.

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful young woman named Esmeralda. She lived with her generous stepmother and her three horrible and wicked sisters. One afternoon, it was Esmeralda's birthday. Her mother bought her a cheap pair of shoes, and she polished them. The kind Esmeralda adored the gleaming pair of shoes. One day, her greedy sisters found the shoes. They abolished one of her shoes out of her feet as it flung through the air.

Meanwhile, a few kilometres away, the shoe lands on a handsome prince's lap. The prince fell in love with the scent of the shoe. The handsome prince asked his coachman to take him to the village where the shoe came from. They travelled day and night until they finally arrived at their destination. 

Everyone bowed as the handsome prince departed his majestic carriage. The prince sniffed everyone's feet. Some have the nasty whiff of blue cheese, and some have the horrendous stench of a skunk. Everyone in the village spectated as the royal sniffed his way through the crowd. 

Finally, the handsome prince arrived at Esmeralda's house. He first encountered the ugly sisters, who all claimed to have owned the shoe. The prince sniffed each of their feet. But each of their feet smelled like something abominable. Suddenly, the most sensational smell made its way through the prince's nose. He followed the trail of the smell, which led to an old closet that was bolted, screwed and padlocked shut by the sisters. 

Each individual of the village took turns opening the sealed door but to no avail. The prince then ordered his guards to open the door, and eventually, they were successful. They opened the door, and suddenly, a burst of aroma filled the prince's nostrils. 

The prince married Esmeralda, and the sisters were banished out of the kingdom. The pair had kids, and they lived happily ever after. 

The End.

Rapunzel

Today in Fairy tales and Fables, we have been reading about Rapunzel and its different variations, from the original version to the final edition. Here I have compared the 1812 and the 1857 versions.

Why do you think texts change over time?

I think that the text changes over time to make it more suitable for children.

How come each version of Rapunzel is different, even though they have been written by the same author?

Each version of Rapunzel is different because it is written in different timelines. Old variations were more mature than the Disney variation.

What was the same or different in the two versions you read?

The original version had scenes which aren't appropriate for children. Rapunzel had affairs with the prince and was found out when her stomach became larger.

In the final edition, Rapunzel was found out because she mentions the prince in her conversation with the fairy.

The Brothers Grimm

 

In Fairytales and fables today, we have been learning about The Brothers Grimm. They originated many of our favourite fairy tales today.

Fairytales and Fables Vocabulary

In Fairytales and Fables, we have been learning about the different types of stories. We were tasked to find the definition and provide examples of some of them.

Myths- A myth is a story that explains the history of people, with most involving supernatural beings or events. An example of a myth is Zeus from Greek mythology.

Legends- Similar to a myth, a legend is also about the history of people, but with more realistic events. An example of a legend is King Arthur or the Loch Ness monster.

Fables- A fable is a short story that has a lesson. It involves human-like animals. For example, The Tortoise and the Hare.

Fairytales- A fairy tale is a story about magical and imaginary events. An example of a fairy tale is Snow White.

Focal Point

 In photography, we have been learning about focal points in photos. We painted some toy soldiers and took photos of them. We were put in groups or pairs. Here are some of the photos we took.

Roman Gladiators

 In hurumanu 2, we have been learning about roman gladiators. We were tasked to make an advert for a fight in the Colosseum. Here is the poster I made.

Humanities Essay Planning

Breach of Article 1- Abomination by Robert Swindells

Breach means not having followed it or broken it.

 Article 01 - All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

-means no one is born different from others- can't be born into slavery and kept in a cage.

-you have access to basic human rights- food, water, and shelter.

Martha- born into a religious cult, has basic rights but not personal freedom. Martha is treated like a slave by her parents. Not allowed friends because of the righteous. Not allowed radio.

Abomination/Jim- born and kept in a cage, not allowed outside. Has basic human rights. Lost rights to education, love, freedom, and socialization. Forbidden to see his mum.

Jim's trauma will lead him to not have a normal life.

Since Martha lived with her sister, she got new clothes and was granted freedom.

The story builds suspense.

We forgive Martha for keeping the secret about Jim because she is also suffering.

Martha is bullied in school and at home.

Martha to Scott

Abomination's a boy, Scott. A little boy. He lives in the cellar in a cage. Page 143

And she let her kid live in a cage?... She doesn't know! page 146

Communication

Technology has changed the way we communicate. In the past 150 years, communication technology has changed greatly, making our life look effortless compared to how it was.

Forms of communication have changed from immobile telephones connected to house walls to mobile phones that you pack in your pocket all day. We also used to send letters through posts, but now we get to send them through e-mail. Social media is a way to share what we want to share on the internet, which we didn't have before. People used to play games using the arcade, but games and entertainment have evolved too. We play games on computers, phones, consoles etc. which we didn't have until recently.

In conclusion, communication has changed so much that it is barely recognisable from how it was before. 

ESOL

 In ESOL this year, I have enjoyed watching movies and studying about them.

 One of the movies we watched was Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings is a sports/comedy movie about a Jamaican bobsleigh team joining the Winter Olympics. I liked how the movie has a comedic twist as well as a lesson to never give up.

The next movie we watched was Penguin Bloom. The movie is about an unfortunate accident that happened to a mother of three and her journey to recover from the mental scar that the accident has left. I was really surprised to find out that the movie is based on a true story.

Photomontage

 In art/photography this week, we have been learning about photomontage and collage. We were told to find images online, remove the background and make a photomontage with it. We had three topics to choose from; pandemic, fashion and body, and cheating in sports.

Badminton

 For the past week, we have been playing badminton in PE. Today I am going to show you how to score in a game of badminton.

To play badminton, you will need a person or a pair on each team. For singles, the lines are smaller, for pairs, the lines are wider.

If you hit the shuttlecock over to the opposition's side and it lands within the court lines, you score a point.

If a serve fails to make it over the net or fail to hit it diagonally, the other team scores a point and they get the next serve.

If you hit the shuttlecock out of the lines, the other team gets a point.

The first team to reach 21 points wins the game. However, if both teams are tied at 20, a team needs to win by 2 points. There are usually 3 matches played.

NZ Land March

NZ Land March

In Social Studies this week, we have been researching the New Zealand land march lead by Dame Whina Cooper. Below you will find a map that shows the routes that the hikoi took. They marched from Te Kao all the way to Wellington. During the hikoi, they covered a distance of 1,100km in 30 days. They carried a flag, and they never let it touch the ground. They protested and signed a petition to try and get their land back. As they travelled, many decided to join in. The hikoi started with just about 50 people and ended with 5000. 60,000 people signed the petition.

Human Rights

Chemistry

During lockdown in chemistry, we were told to make a poster for the topics we researched about. I made two posters about sound waves and the different types of energy. 

Human Rights

Our digital learning objective for English and social studies this week are about human rights, we watched a documentary about Gloriavale. Gloriavale is a Christian community located on the west coast of the south island where everyone is extremely religious. Men work hard labour while the women do the housework. Kids are expected to do jobs when they are old enough and none of them gets paid. They do their jobs for each other. Women also don't get to choose who they marry, the elders and men get to.

We also started reading a book called Abomination by Robert Swindell. The book is about a girl named Martha who was bullied for wearing clothes that her mother made. Her family is highly religious and her father gives her beatings. There's also another main character who is Martha's only friend, his name is Scott. Scott was also bullied for befriending Martha.

P.E essay

                 P.E is a waste of students’ learning time.

Disagree

P.E should be compulsory for all students. Many students think that P.E is a waste of time, but hopefully, your opinions are going to change after reading this essay.

Firstly, P.E introduces us to a healthy lifestyle. Physical education may help your immune system and also improve the health of your organs. It reduces the risk of heart disease, lung cancer, diabetes, stroke, etc. 

In addition, P.E helps us with our academic skills as well as our areas of wellbeing. P.E promotes active lifestyles, develops leadership skills, teamwork, decision making, goal setting and risk management. In other words, P.E is not just about being improving physically but mentally too.

Did you know that athletes from the NBA have an average salary of 7.5 million USD? Or that Lionel Messi, one of the highest-paid athletes, has a 70 million USD salary? These people reached this far because of their dedication to P.E and sports. Staying physically and mentally fit may help you with future careers such as construction workers, firefighters, lifeguards, etc.

People may think of P.E as a waste of time, but it plays a big part in a student’s literature. “Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of its capacity when the body is healthy and strong.” John F. Kennedy.

Essay burger plan

 In hurumanu 1, we have been planning our essays with a burger plan. We included an introduction, three paragraphs, and a conclusion.

Effects of Heat

Contraction

Firstly, we heated some water in a can using a bunsen burner. When the steam came out, we turned the burner off. We turned the can upside down on the cold water we prepared. The tin imploded as the heat left the can. This happens because the heated particles leave the can to try and find heat.

Expansion

Firstly, we tested to see if the metal ball would fit through the metal hoop. Next, we heated the ball, and when we tried to put it back through the hoop, it didn't fit. This happens because heat makes the solid less dense. Therefore, expanding the ball.

Conduction

As the heat of the bunsen burner conducted along the metal rod, the petroleum jelly holding the pins melted and the pins dropped on the table. The heat travelled along the rod slowly, therefore giving the pins different times to drop. Here are our times:

The first pin dropped in 4.41 seconds.

The second one dropped on 14.28 seconds.

The third one dropped at 27.43 seconds.

The fourth one dropped at 53.88 seconds.

The last pin dropped at 1 minute 46 seconds.

Convection in liquid

Firstly, we heated water in a beaker using a bunsen burner. We then put a straw and put some permanganate crystals through it. The crystal particles went up and down through the hot water. This happens because heat makes things less dense and lighter. As soon as the crystal particles cooled down, they went down to the surface.

Convection in gas

 Firstly, we cut off the top bit of the teabag, made it into a cylinder and made it stand on the table. We then lit it on fire, starting from the top. The teabag flew in the air as it disintegrated. This happens because the heat made it lighter, lifting it into the air.

P.E doesn't waste student's learning time (Brainstorm)

 In hurumanu 1, we have been asked to choose a topic and write an essay about it. I chose a topic which read; P.E wastes students' learning time. I decided to write an essay disagreeing to that argument. Here is my brainstorm for what I'm about to write.

Types Of Government

In hurumanu 2 we have been learning about different types of government. We also learned about how they treat people and how it impacts them. This is a slide of my work.

 

Abraham Lincoln 1 minute speech

 Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of America, the person to end slavery, surely you’ve heard of him. Anyway, I am here to tell you about how Abraham Lincoln became one of the most influential leaders to ever live.

Abraham Lincoln was born on the 12th of February 1809. In 1861, he was elected to be the 16th president of America. The Civil War started on the 12th of April 1861 between the United States and the Confederate States of America. Lincoln had one thing in mind, and that was to end slavery. In 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation which declared that all slaves shall be free. The Civil War ended on the 9th of April 1865 with Lincoln being victorious.

April 14th 1865, Lincoln goes to the Ford’s Theater where he became the first president ever to be assassinated.

Despite the difficulties, Lincoln believed that he could make a positive change in the world. Abraham Lincoln is resilient, committed and responsible. He showed these qualities until the end. That's what makes him an inspirational leader.

10 minute task- Are there any real pirates left on the world?

 When you hear of pirates, the first thing you think of is probably people steering big ships, shooting cannons and singing wicked pirate songs. You probably think that they don't exist anymore, but today I am going to talk about modern day pirates.

Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat on another ship. Modern day pirates steal cargo and other valuable goods. Instead of swords and other old-school weapons, these pirates use guns. 

Pirates as you know, wear eye-patches, uses cannons or swords, but the reality of modern day piracy and it's bloodshed is much more terrifying.

Shark infested custard

Today at health, we did an activity called shark infested custard. The aim of the game was to get from one place to the other using hula-hoops. We can only step on the hoops if they are on the ground. Our team came up with a strategy where we step in the first two hoops, grab the hoop at the back and move it to the front.

The IP skills that I used were, active listening, negotiation, verbal and non-verbal communication.

Using these IP skills, our group managed to reach the goal.

If I was to do it again, I would nominate a team leader so that we could reach the goal faster.

The Hellison's level I showed today was level 2 (involvement). I participated in the activity, gave my best and helped clean the equipment.
