Production: Last Week
Last week, O.L.A showcased 'The Button Box' Musical. Two students who sang a song together was Isiah(Rm 5) and Evelyn(Rm 3). The song was difficult for Year 5 and 6 children, especially with a tricky duet, yet these students made it look easy. Maybe we could get them to sing another duet together in the future.
Well done Isiah and Evelyn on a fabulous performance.

Stop Motion Animation
Are you ready foy your stop motion animation?
The clip I have attached was something I practised with to ensure everything is ready for tomorrow.
I took 90 photos and this provided me with 13.28 seconds worth of footage. Adding in the narration was very hard as it goes very quickly.
Remember:
Have you finished your background?
Have you got all the characters for your stop motion?
Have I completed my storyboard and script?
Some things to think about:
Using lego men was great but the focus was not great unless the camera was in close.
The lighting may affect your scene. Choose a place to set up your camera and check the lighting.
Camera flash - Do you need it or don't you? Check this when taking photos to check the glare. Sometimes working in the shadows is needed.

101 Misses
At Thursday sports the OLA Year 5 and 6 Football team played a fantastic game. In the first half our strikers were Rebekah and Luke, and quickly they put the OLA team ahead. Luke had some quick touches to pass defenders and his step, left many behind him. At half time the OLA team was leading 6-0.
In the second half, the OLA team had a changee of tactics to make the game fun and fair. The strikers became defenders and our defenders became our new attackers, even the goalie became a striker. This is where the story begins. Hunter scored two brilliant goals, elegant touches. If there was a crowd they would have gone crazy chanting his name. But it was only me and I didn't do that.
Hunter was lighting quick, running in, out and through people. On one occassion he passed 8 people. I could see Hunter's eyes glisten when he saw the goal and he knew 'I only have the goalie to beat'. Then he slid on the ground booting the ball miles away from the goal. Hunter put his face in his hands and then looked to the sideline to see his coach wondering what happened. Hunter shrugged his shoulders and laughed as he ran back in to position. What followed was another 100 misses. The goalie for the other team was good. She was defending the goal stopping Hunter left, right and centre. It was an incredible game with OLA victorious 9-0.
Well done OLA Yr 5-6 Football team.

Claymation
Today Sophie and Molly explored animation/claymation. They had some success and learnt some valuable lessons.
- Keep the camera still.
- Don't have your hands in the photo
- Small movements of the characters
- 60 photos is not enough
Below is a video from YouTube showing Legomation. I enjoyed watching this one. Hope you will too.

The Button box
On Thursday the 30 of June we had our last performance of the Button box. This was the performance that was getting put on a DVD. Lots of people made mistakes but that doesn't matter the show must go on even if people put you down just hold your head up high and stand up to them. Just before the end of the show one of our school leaders came out to give a huge thank you to all the people who gave up their time to help with the props and sort out the play and the music. Thanks to Mrs Earl , Mrs Marston , Miss Brock ,Mr Grant and Mrs Campbell.
