    Let us keep close together not far apart.


    Kia ora. This is what I wrote last week!!!!!!!  

    "This week, we are going way back in time, to a time before COVID19, when life was free.....  and we were looking at an extended text - via film study!  We need to refresh our thinking around film techniques and study an extended text.  There may be a hint in the image I used this week (or it may be an obscure reference to the cross country - who knows.)". 

    What a pity I can't use this new found superpower to record the lotto numbers......but, we can continue our exlpration of Hunt for the Wilderpeople.  This film is availabel online.  It is on TVNZ on demand and signing up for TVNZ on Demand is free,  If you have not already, can you please access the film and complete the viewing.  This week, we are going to explore the theme and characters in the movie.  I asked you last week to record your impressions of Aunt Bella, Uncle Hec, Ricky Baker and Paula (Child Welfare) as we started watching.  Please add to this as you continue to watch the movie.

        EVENTS: 1. Paula calls Ricky ‘a bad egg’ and he has been in trouble in the past. Bella gives Ricky a second chance. She doesn’t write him off, instead she shows him love and support. The hottie (hot water bottle) she leaves in his bed each night shows him that she cares about him.
