Capital E On TV

This place was cool. All the children had their part in creating a news type programme. They worked the cameras, the wardrobe and makeup, the control room. They learned how to present the weather and conducted interviews. It was a lot of fun and we laughed .... a lot! They learned that everyone needed to work together as a team in order for the show to be a success - a lesson that could be applied to a lot of things in life as well. The costumes were hilarious and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We are looking at making copies of their news programme available for sale.

Capital E Soundhouse

After waking up, having breakfast and doing jobs we headed off for Capital E. We had a fair idea of what we were going to be doing but did not realise it would be so cool. In the morning, we went to Capital E Soundhouse. The children got into pairs and created their own sounds using Sony AcidPro, a music editing programme. You can listen to the awesome sounds they have created at this website. http://soundhouse.capitale.org.nz/schools/albums/2008/December/Waikirikiri%20School%20(011208)/
