About Me

Manaiakalani

WOW!!! I can’t believe that the Minister of Education came to our school yesterday. Thank you our parents for paying money every single week, I really like having a Net Book. Mum and Dad is so kind to us because they love me.

Manaiakalani is a really famous thing that helps kids which has NetBooks. It also helps with the wireless so that we can share our work with the world. I really enjoy working with Netbooks but I just wish I could learn to look after it properly.

Futruristic Toy

As you know that we are learnig about Toy Story. Our animation is about a toy that I made up that it might be invented in the futrue. My animation is about a car that you can fly around without gas. It is called The Flyer Nyer.

My Film Festival Review

Tamaki College is the best school. They are all good at acting and even good with the cameras. One direction is good at singing so I think that is why they did that song. My favourite was Uili and Antonio.

I really loved their dancing because they were giving it their best shot. The big Tamaki Boys were really funny because how they act and lip sync. Paul was the person I liked out of Tamaki. He didn't just dance, he walked and dance.

After that 3 years later, I thought that there won’t be any one because they were already old. Nek Minute it was really funny. Five men dancing were really funny. I noticed something at the end. Every single person looks just the same but older.

The scores I’m going to give them is 10 stars out of 10. It was really exciting. One Direction is the BEST!!!

Here is their movie.

Brush your Teeth.

50 word story of The Test

                                                 Here is their movie

Watching Room 18’s movie was really funny. It was all about their maths test. It started really quiet. But then..... They started chucking papers around. They were distracting other people, and even calling each other on mobile phones. Their teacher was busy on his laptop. “Test Finish”, the teacher said.

Today My Life Begins

My friends and I made this movie for the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Our whole class had the chance to make a movie. We had to plan, prepare, film and edit all by ourselves. Our class had our own film festival to select the best two, to be shown at the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Here is my group's entry!

Scary Doll

ALMA

Without a care in the world, a small girl skipped  through the narrow cobblestone alleyway. Alma had been told to write her name on the town blackboard. When you are 9 years old you have to write your name on this blackboard. It was a traditional thing in this village. Alma wrote on the blackboard. A..L..M..A.. Hearing an old machine working behind her, she turned around in surprise. She saw a doll that looked exactly like her.

Staring at the doll, Alma wiped the frost that had gathered on the shop window to get a better view of the doll. The doll disappeared silently. She crept over to the door. Alma thrust her hand out and pulled down the handle. It was locked. Angrily she walked away and grabbed a snowball and threw it to the door.

Walking away from the shop, suddenly the door flew open. Alma turned around with excitement, and ran to the door. Taking a step in to the shop, Alma looked around. Everything looked so threadbare. Looking around, Alma saw the doll on a table. Peering at the identical looking doll, she stumbled towards it, one step at a time.

Suddenly, she heard something. Alma looked down, and saw a little toy on the floor. It was a boy pedaling a tricycle. Alma put the bike upright, and it cycled circles around her, then over to the door. BANG! It closed just in front of him. The boy kept on cycling forwards, slamming into the door over and over again. He looked as if ….....

Alma looked around, and wondered where the doll had gone. It had disappeared again. She then saw it again, on the shelf next to other dolls. Climbing the sofa underneath her, Alma was ignorant of everything but the doll that looked like her. As she was reaching up for the doll, all the other dolls moved their eyes and followed her. But Alma didn’t notice anything.

When Alma’s hand touched the doll, there was a ZAP!! Her whole life flashed before her eyes. Alma looked around. She couldn’t move. She couldn’t smile. She couldn’t do ANYthing but look around and breathe, which became heavy. Then everything made sense. The boy on the bike (which was still slamming into the door over and over again) WAS trying to escape, and all the other dolls were trying to warn her, but they could only look around.

In horror, Alma saw the next doll wheel up.....

First Day of Swimmimg

With a lovely morning, Room 13 waited out the pool, I imagined how cold it would be.With a great loud voice, Ms King shouted, “Hop inside the pool one at a time”.

Marching into the pool, everyone started shivering. We all started with a great morning. Kicking through the water, I heard, “Stop, Look, and Listen”. I started to be silence. Only the wind was making noise.

We started with kicking. It was fun. Next we kicked with the boards. Kicking up and down, we stopped. Staring at Ms King, she grabbed the noodles.

I did not know what to do with it. The only thing I knew was floating. Ms King threw it two each group of three. We started to paddle and paddle and paddle. We were use to it.

Finishing the morning was the best. Two minutes of free time. Boys wanted to play against girls. There was only 4 boys so that wasn’t fair. Anyway we won the challenge of splashing the water the highest.
