Closing Time...
5/27/2018
Well, it's ALL OVER! Our Fourth Graders have finished up their year and are ready to go on to Fifth Grade! This week, Fourth Grade (and Third Grade) were joined at the hip to celebrate and blow off some steam. There was PNA's First Annual Pac-Man Competition... First up, Piper versus Bella... Next is Dash... Then David and Isabella... Then Sonya and Nevaeh... Biking!On Wednesday, the (Lower) Lower School participated in Bring Your Bike To School Day, and so Ms. Orbase and I decided to let the Third and Fourth Grades bring theirs, too! Field Day Fun!Thursday was a special day, because Miss Molly ran PNA's annual Field Day! The PNA staff was joined by quite a few parents, who hosted games and chaperoned groups for several hours to ensure everyone had a fun time! In the video below, PNA Field Day participants take time out from competition to play Amoeba Tag! One Last Thing...Due to a scheduling crunch, Fourth Grade was unable to fully complete a 'bonus project' that we had been planning for our second semester. The class had been working on writing and shooting a twenty-five minute short film that told the story of a group of fourth graders (what a coincidence!) who encounter a mysterious child during recess. This child lives in the woods surrounding the school, but adults can't seem to see her and no one knows who the child is. Together, the students work to unravel the mystery of the child's identity. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to shoot the entire film, but in the last few days of school we decided to shoot a few scenes 'guerilla-style' (in other words, 'unplanned and on the fly'). Some of it worked, and some of it didn't. In the short video below, three students go looking for the mysterious child on their own -- and bump into three other kids who have been following them. This is only a very (very) rough cut without any proper sound mixing nor any foley, and shots run long and short, but it gives you some idea of what we'd been working on. We hope you enjoy this assembly cut. And One MORE Last Thing...In case you weren't able to see it at the 'premiere' -- here is a video that 'Fourth Grade Films' made for this year's auction.
