PINT

PINTV will be hitting our screens week one term 3. Pukekohe Intermediate students are waiting in anticipation, for the first live recording.
Kevin Pope, Rebekah Pearson and Sarah Poutai have all been working on this station since the middle of term 1. Everybody involved can’t wait to get started because finally all the hard work would have payed off. Roughly 40 students and staff altogether have their own specific jobs, 16 students will take turns as presenters, a few of those students will go out and interview students and staff.
The station is mainly to help kids know where they are supposed to be and when, the broadcast will screen every morning. A special feature is Te Reo Tuesday, this will help students to learn the Maori language.
“As a student at Pukekohe Intermediate I loved that we had the chance to be involved with PINTV,” says Karlene Hunter one of the presenters. All the kids had the opportunity to apply and be apart of the TV station whether it would be in front of the camera or behind, there was a job for any kid who was prepared to put in the time.

Websites

Today we have been creating wedsites to enter, the NIE Website. We have been looking at the NIE website pages at the  rules, information on how to enter etc. For the past few weeks we have been busy working on the website. We either worked in groups of four or three or we have been working by ouselfs. We also looked at the previouse winners in the past few years. We could upload videos, movies a slideshows. We have been working so hard on this project that we have manage to complete the website.
