IAm

by Natan Matuszkiewicz

I am the river that flows in the mountains. I am the lion that stands proudly on the hill. I am the storm that comes in the night. I am the waves that crash on the shore. I am the flame that lights up the dark. I am the wolf that is loyal to its pack. I am the bird that sings in the morning. I am the sun that ends the night. I am the environment that you should protect.

Remember when 4th and 5th class designed and tested paper airplanes, then analysed our designs and improved upon them!

Spring

by Harry and Tomás

Daffodils start to grow, The wind ceases to blow. The time is near, Spring is here, And all the frost will go.

The hedgehogs come out of sleep, And the willows begin to weep. The birds begin to sing, Then they spread their wings, When the chicks begin to cheep.

Many of the boys in sixth class have been busy recently creating their own short films. Each boy utilised their own unique skills to ensure that their ideas were translated to the big screen. The boys worked together in small groups. We first decided that each movie should convey an important message to the viewer. Each group brainstormed their ideas before making storyboards to portray what their film would look like. They used some of the fantastic resources from the ‘Fís’ website to help them bring their ideas to life. Once they were happy with their ideas they began drafting and redrafting their scripts. They also collected and brought in props that they wanted to use. After weeks of hard work, they finally had the opportunity to shoot their movies on the school ipads and

microphones. The boys had great fun shooting and reshooting their many scenes and learned quickly about the challenges of shooting movies. Once they had finished shooting they took turns assembling and editing their completed scenes. They collaborated with other groups and gave each other feedback on how they could improve each other’s movies. After much hard work the boys were delighted to be finally able share their completed projects on the school social media pages. It was a wonderful learning experience for the boys and we hope you enjoy their finished movies.
