Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012 School is cool by Cypress

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

Guy Fawkes Description

Today we did buddy writing with Room 8. We wrote a description about a guy fawkes scene. My buddy writing was Arapeta. 

As the sun goes down and the moon becomes visible the explosions start!
Laughter comes to children when colorful fireworks explode into ash.
Fireworks exploding into rainbows of joy through the sky.
Massive shivers drift through our bodies from effect of the fireworks.
As we watch, the corner of our eyes catch a big glance of light.
On the other corner of our eyes we see We hear the big noises echoing off the moon.
The sound effects make beyonces concerts sound little.
Motivation rises and rises until the fireworks blowout.

Kini and Malia's Vacation

Kini and Malia’s Vacation

It was a bright, sunny morning where Kini and Malia were off to Rarotonga for their honeymoon.They went on the plane, sat down and relaxed. Kini is always excited to go anywhere and very cheeky. Malia always bosses Kini around but Kini really doesn't care .When they were flying they took a quiz on the T.V about how to grow flowers. When they landed in Raro, Kini was so amazed that he came rushing out of the plane first.
They took a taxi to the fale.It was a one hour drive.When Kini and Malia got there Malia shouted, “Kini my sweetie, could you carry me to the couch? ”  




Kini moaned and he hen Kini carried her his back was cracking, Malia saw beautiful flowers in a chinese vase it was special to her because it reminded her of when she made a chinese vase herself and it was her favourite flowers roses , it looked so awesome.When Kini put her down his back almost clicked. Kini and Malia decided to go for walk on the beautiful beach as the sun was dancing in the sky, the leaves were lying on the pure, white sand. They decided to go for a walk on the beach which was romantic for them. The beach was surrounded by palm trees with leaves blowing in the air and the sea looked crystal clear like a diamond.


While Kini and Malia was having a romantic walk on the beach, a hobo named Tionee and one of the most dangerous robbers around snuck into the fale and stole the vase full of flowers.When Kini and Malia returned from their walk, they were so tired that they went to sleep. When they woke up they brushed their teeth and washed their face, they went to have breakfast but Malia thought something was wrong. She listened to her instincts and deep down it said her vase of flowers was missing. When she went to check, nothing was there. Malia ran as fast as she could to the kitchen and screamed at Kini,
“The flowers are gone!” Kini spat his cereal out and the both of them were so freaked out. Kini called the cops and they came as fast as they could. When the cops got there they asked what happened. When the cops finished questioning Kini and Malia they went on their way to find the robber.

The cops were searching for Tionee but they had no idea where he was.The cops drove past a famous house. Later on one of the cops saw something really strange.  He said to the other cop, “Hey could you reverse back to the cool as house?”. When they reversed they saw someone coming out of the door, he had a bag filled with money and gold but Tionee never realised that it was fake gold. One of the cops opened the door and ran like the wind, he shouted,
“Put your hands up!” Tionee got a fright and dropped his bag of fake gold and money and he turned around with his hands in the air.The cop ran and put the handcuffs on Tionee.The cops were glad that they caught the most dangerous robber.They picked up the bag and saw the vase.They took it out and took Tionee back to Mrs and Mr Fonua and they gave back the vase nicely and safely. Malia took the vase and put it  back where it belonged.Later on when Tionee walked away Kini felt sad because he knew he will still steal and shouted,
“Hey dude come back here!” Tionee ran back and Kini pulled out his wallet and Tionee thought that he was going to give him his wallet but Kini gave $10 dollars and gave an apple. Tionee felt pleased and grateful and whispered to himself,
“I’m never going to steal ever again,”
and he has learnt his lesson never to steal again. Then he started to walk away. He turned around and yelled,
“Thank you very much!”

• We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
• We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
• Memorising our lines for our scripts.

All About Me

Malo lelei. Hi my name is Sau. I’m 9 years old and I was born in Tonga. My family and I arrived in New Zealand in 2002 on December 25, Christmas Day! I have brown eyes and also brown hair. When I walk in the sun my eyes glow like a disco ball hanging on top of the ceiling. I am tall, handsome and slim.   

I have 3 incredible brothers and I have an adorable and chubby cute sister. I live with my parents, aunty, brothers and my little cousin. My family makes me feel awesome.

I am Tongan and am extremely proud of my culture. My culture represents who I am. Some things that represent me are the beautiful flowers, the Island of Tonga, the food and the traditional central Tongan dances.

I enjoy playing outside with the awesome Briant and my other cool  friends at school. I also enjoy learning at school with the best teacher in the world. I love to listen to awesome music when I’m doing nothing.Briant is my best friend because when my friends are away he always plays with me.

My best friend is Briant because he always plays with me and my brothers. He has brown eyes also brown skin like a brave mighty  warrior.Briant makes me feel over the moon. He is my best friend because I trust in him.

My future goal is to be an incredible famous and legendary rugby player for Tonga. This year I would like to achieve all my reading goals. My family can help me by making  sure I read my book every day after I finish my parents can ask me question about the book.
