Creating a storyboard for our information video

This is a goal for Kern and Callum this week. 



Making a storyboard is really important when we are thinking about making a video.

We are going to make a video as a way to share information with the community about

• Encouraging the correct use of the two minute drop off zone
• Encouraging parents to park near the school so they can walk their children into school.
• Highlight the advantages of the walking school bus

HOW TO CREATE A STORY BOARD

Step 1

Write a narrative (story) of what your video will be about.

Step 2

Break up your narrative into 8 to 10 key (important) scenes.

Step 3

Pencil in your scenes to your storyboard.

Step 4

Look at your storyboard. Have you missed any important scenes out? If so, add these in.

POST YOUR NARRATIVE (STORY) of the information video that you would like to see made.

Have a look at all the ideas we brainstormed together. You could also take a picture of your storyboard and post this ... 

Have a great week.

blog post NO.1

Hi my name is callum, and this is my second time writing a blog post I have write a letter in the school news letter. If you want to see my letter then go on the website at www.kaurilands school.co.nz

1.The good points are: that it is a good amount of space to park in and is very convenient.

the bad points are: people use it as an hour or less, or even more which makes the queue even worse.
The interesting part is that people don't re
ally care if they make traffic all they care is if they get a park and go.

2. We could make the two minute drop off zone Sign bigger and thus more obvious or
even a Sandwich board to inform the people that it is a two minute drop zone zone

The 2 min drop off zone

The good points are:there is a big place to park but it will create a bigger queue and that will waste time.The 2 minute parking zone is near the school so you don't need to cross the road.

The not so good points is that the drop off sign is too small. You could easily miss it.

The interesting point is we need to add to colour to the markings on the road and make the drop off sign more obvious to see.

2 minute drop off zone.

1.One good point is that it tell's you that is a 2 minute parking area.
One bad point is that most people might no park there because it is in the way of the gates.
One interesting point is that they are to small.
Also they could have a bigger sign.
2. We could make a bigger sign and bigger lines and we should make it go futher.

Your goal this week

One of the goals of our project is to encourage the correct use of the two minute drop off zone.


At the moment the two minute drop of zone on Atkinson road looks like this,

 The tiny sign

This is what the road markings below the sign look like.

1.What are the Good points/ negative points/ Interesting points of what drop off zone LOOKS like at the moment? DEANNA, SUFIA, CALLUM and KERN you should now be able to make your own blog post to answer this.


2. LOOK AT THE NEGATIVE POINTS you have recorded. Could the drop off Zone be improved in any way?


3. MAKE A DRAWING of how you think the two minute drop off zone could be improved and bring it to our next meeting on Monday.

Our Blog workshop

Our Sunday workshop.

Great to see you this morning. We are getting visits from around the world! Thank you to our visitors from all around New Zealand, The United States, Germany, U.K, Austrailia, India, Russia and South Africa. We would love you to leave us a message if you have the time. Kia ora Koutou! (hello to everyone!).

Deanna

This is my first time uploading a picture on the blog. This is also my first time making a blog post. I have written a piece to go into the newsletter for Kaurilands school. My piece is about the two mintute drop off zone. The way to use the two mintute drop off zone is to drop your kids off and leave. You can't wait there for more than two mintutes.

Kern

Hi, my name is Kern and this is my first time in uploading a picture. This is also my first time making my own post.

Sufia

Hi my name is Sufia and I am practising uploading pictures on our blog.

Callum

Hi my name is Callum. I am learning to up load a photo to the blog this is my first time putting information to the blog and putting photos to the blog.We are traffic engineers and are trying to ease up the traffic round our school.

Coming up with solutions.

We are very creative, and have thought up lot's of solutions.

Our solutions are:

1. Have a Kauriland's school bus that picks up and drops off children.

2. Give parents tickets for breaking the rules at  the two minute drop off zone.

3. Get more children using the walking school bus.

4. Give parents who use the drop off zone correctly  a raffle ticket  for a weekly draw.

5. Make an information video for parents to remind them, how to use the drop off zone safely and correctly.

6. Get Auckland council to make more parking spaces near school.

7. Get school to make their carpark bigger.

8. Provide information about the two minute drop off zone through the school newsletter and blog.

9. Make a children's sign for the two minute drop off zone.

Can we use all the solutions?


What kind of things would we need to consider, so that we are picking the best solutions?

Your goals this week

We are getting closer to the really fun part of our project which is to start coming up with solutions.

Your goals for this week are to read the 2 blog postings below about today's meeting and then answer the following questions.

1. What kind of mistakes was there in the survey information?

2. What were Marisha's next 2 steps when she had put in the information about ruma 8 into her excel spreadsheet?

3. There was a lot of feedback from you about your solutions which is great. What are some of your solutions?

4. Can we decide on a solution before we know what all the information tells us?

REMEMBER ALL YOUR ANSWERS NEED TO BE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES and stay cool till after school :)

Information overload!

What the information is telling us about ruma 8

• ABOUT HALF OF THE STUDENTS FROM RUMA 8 LIVE WITHIN A 5 MINUTE WALKING DISTANCE TO THE SCHOOL.
• MOST OF THE STUDENTS THAT LIVE WITHIN THE WALKING ZONE WALK TO SCHOOL.
• ONLY A FEW STUDENTS THAT LIVE WITHIN THE WALKING ZONE COME BY CAR.
• MOST STUDENTS THAT WALK TO SCHOOL DO NOT USE THE WALKING SCHOOL BUS.

Marisha found out the following information by putting  the survey information of ruma 8 into her excel spreadsheet. The first step she took was -

1. Information was inserted into the speadsheet using the headings of address, suburb, car/walk/cycle, consider using the walking school bus and the distance of the address from school.

What were Marisha's next 2 steps? (Clue: Take another look at the information that was found out about ruma 8).

What the information about ruma 8 could look like on our big map of the school and the surrounding streets.

Studying the information we have collected

Marisha explaining how to turn the survey information into information that will be able to help us.

The story so far.......

We have collected survey information from 9 senior classes. We have asked 219 children how they have travelled to school. We will not be able to use all the information as it is incomplete and contains mistakes. Engineers always do the best they can with the information they are able to use.


Engineers love using excel spreadsheets to make sense of information.
