Film Festival

Jumping with excitement as the little kids boarded the bus to Sylvia park. They set off on their journey to watch the the other school’s in the Manaiakalani cluster, and to enjoy their movies they have entered.


So as we boarded the bus I found a seat next to my friends. My class entered a movie it was about the pollution and the main actors was Sela, Helen, Tia,Kezia,and Tanielu. I was looking forward to watching our movies on the big screen.

Walking reluctantly into the movie theater made me worry about who and what was in there.
Sitting next to Maranda & Pharrah was really funny. As the people behind us thought we were eating lollies made us get into trouble with Mrs Clark. Then the movies started playing and people were cheering.The other school’s thought it was a competition on who can cheer the loudest.


The introduction was done by a girl name Tatiana from Tamaki Intermediate, while she was presenting the Manaialalani movies a loud cheer was heard. It came to the start of presenting the Manaiakalani film festival. All kinds of presenters went on stage and all schoolscreamed when 1 or 2 of there presenters went on.

The movies I liked was the one when the Tamaki college girl's were dancing and were covered in mud.

Space adventure

Something hit the ground and then... POP! There goes Saturn and then Neptune. What is going wrong here? Trying to attempt to make planets with balloons was out of control. Balloons were popping, planets were disappearing.

First we tried to do it outside but then it rained. We actually tried our experience on how much we learnt about our Solar System. Then students started co-operating together trying to help but it was just not working. SO then we got each sensible person to blow the balloons up, in many different colours. The one I liked best was Earth, the colour of Earth is blue but our one was orange.

The second attempt was very interesting, but again we ended up popping balloons.Our planets went in order from the one that was closest to the sun. Having a discussion about the universe was a change in many people's life, and what I mean by that is several people did not know that Pluto was a planet. Now it is called a dwarf planet. What a strange name.Learning about how the planets orbit around the sun was exciting.We did a comparison about, Mars,Venus,Neptune,Uranus,And many more.Demonstration and demonstration was getting a bit boring,in the end it was all worth it.

Mercury! I wonder if it is possible that we can live on that planet someday.Well If it was possible then I would just visit.Mercury is the fastest planet to move around the sun.Gravity in space is not like gravity we have here on earth, we have stronger gravity then space. Up in space we can float around in the air,that would be fun. Living on Earth is better,seeing nature running around in tress and on the ground is really cool,and fascinating.

My Holiday Highlight.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! As Mr Burt shouts. It’s the END of a fantastic, exhausting term. Yeah as the Kids jump up and down. “ SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER” Yes I can finally sleep in, that’s what the teachers are probably thinking. What am I going to do in the holidays! Work, sleep, or clean my room? Well we should find out. Saturday was a special day after the first, my cousin was turning 8 and he was celebrating his birthday at the zoo. Me and my nana, my cousins,and my auntie & uncle are going. Sadly to say that this is the last time that he will have his birthday in New Zealand. I have figured it out “SLEEP”.

Cross Country

As I woke up at half past 6 in the morning I looked for my bag and found a cross country notice, that said we had cross country today.I yelled quietly and ran back up the stairs and got ready for school. When my mum got up I said "can you write me a note"? She said " What for?" I said" we have cross country and I don't feel like running". My mum said "no" so I got some clothes to run in and went to school.

Meeting my friends at school and telling them what was happening I thought it was a dream. Suddenly it wasn't a dream it was real. I turned around to see people walking in with house colours. So my friends got changed and I waited at the front gate to find my other friends who weren't at school yet. Then I left because I waited for about half an hour.

A couple of mintes went by and suddenly I heard my name been called. It was the girl that I was waiting for. We started to walk around in the street until we had to go inside to get ready to go walk to the courts. I stepped foot inside our class room to find Mrs Lagitupu standing there asking us if we were changed in our running clothes. I said "no" so she said" go and get changed".

As we lined up to get ready to run I was so nervous. On your marks, set, go! We all started running faster and faster we went. I slowed down around the corner to find my way in front of Maranda. Seeing Mr Umu standing there guiding us through our run I thought to myself I don't want to do this, this is boring and tiring.

Standing there was Mrs Lagitupu yelling at us to keep jogging and power walking. I stopped and started talking to her saying "Mrs can I be a marshall like you? But I'd probably guide people the wrong way". She laughed and said "keep running". Ohh man! So I kept running and found myself running straight to Mr Jacobson. I ran past some of the girls to see Ala coming first.Then I kept running till I reached a point that I couldn't run any more.

Finally I found my way back through the gates to find other competitors that I challenged screaming at me to run. But I walked .Spectators and other student were watching me as I walked through the park. I looked up and started to jog.
I started to jog because of the people that were behind me, and also the spectators that were cheering me on. I didn't want to disappoint them by walking the whole way around the track. At the end of the day it all was a success, but I went home tired and my sisters didn't make it any worse.
