Title: New Zealand, Land of The Long White Cloud.

The story is about persuading oversea travellers to come and visit New Zealand and we will talk about NZ landmarks and more.

My group: Angelo, Anthony, Evan and Aaron H

Filmer: Evan and Anthony Drawer: Evan and Aaron H      Mover of moving props and characters: Angelo. First we planned the story board for what we’re doing at the start and end. We will decide the characters and setting by doing a vote on which setting and character we should do. We changed our plan a bit because we weren’t proud of all the different things we’re doing for the stop motion.

I created this poster using the CANVA platform. I like the fact that you can change your work into a theme and landscape or portrait. The most difficult thing I found in CANVA was moving the text to another place.

We all know Jean Batten,Sir Edmund Hillary and Ernest Rutherford. Well, I will tell you a little about them and what we learnt about them.

Jean Batten flew across the world from England to New Zealand breaking the world record at the time. We made a map of where she flew to and a paper airplane.

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest. We made an item to help climb Mount Everest.

And finally, Ernest Rutherford was the first person to split the atom (they call him the father of nuclear physics). We named the part of the atom and coloured it in.
