Manaiakalani Film Festival 2018 - The Ants Go Marching!

The lovely students in Room 1 at Tamaki Primary enjoy learning through play and fun games.  This movie is about one of the ways we have been learning counting our numbers from 1 to 10. 

We needed to make our own ant hats for marching as ants in the movie.  Filming each section marching in different numbers was not that easy in the wind as the ant hats kept getting blown away but it was lots of fun trying to catch them and secure them back on the head.  We shared both frustrations and laughter.  Everyone in Room 1 had a great input especially the little one.  We thought it was fair for a different student to be the flag-bearer or drummer leading the ants marching along.

We kept practising and singing so much that the tune was still stuck in our head for days after the filming was done.

We had fun counting 1to 10, each time repeating the song and adding one more.  Hope you also enjoy using anything around in your environment to count your numbers. 


Come and march along with us as we count 1-10

    My name is Mikaela and I am a Year 8 student currently attending St Pius X Catholic School, another Manaiakalani School
    I really like your movie, especially because you were marching to the music as ants. I think that your idea of becoming ants was creative. Next time you could make another movie using a song and perform it yourselves.
