Maniakalani Film Festival.

I felt nervous. Was I going to be on the big screen? Getting ready to approach the buses, we were going to the HOYTS movie theatre at Sylvia Park to watch a variety of movies. This involved 7 schools from our cluster. We send our movies that we creatively made for the Maniakalani film festival that has been around now for a few years.

Laughing, clapping, shouting... what else? It was another great experience when we saw ourselves on the big screen. It felt like we had new future ahead of us. Myself and a group of experts put together a movie called Enviro-Travel. It took about 2 weeks to plan, film, prep and write the script. It ended up being an excellent movie and everyone laughed at my Russian accent.

My most favourite movie was Te News. It was so funny I burst into laughter. I was so surprised at what these little kids made. The funniest thing I found was Brodie Jacks acting. It was hilarious when he was not ready and always laughed after something fell or was funny.

We sat in the Xtreme Cinema but when i come as a family we sit in the La Primer and watch movies in 3D. I said to Tyler P that it will be awesome if There were a 3D movies at the Film festival. It was really fun when all the movies were playing and then the last one played and the lights turned on and everyone went OHH!!!

I would hope i’ll be able to come next year in college and also make heaps of movies there to. We had to share the cinema with Tamaki Intermediate and the junior’s that Attend Glen Brae. I wish I can go next year and i’ll also want to star in another movie when we all go to Tamaki College. That is always a good influence for our school.

Paradise In Rotorua

Waking up to the smell of of freashness in Rotorua, Staying at Cosy Cottage with a walkway to the lake and a big swimming pool and 3 spa’s. It was really cool at th holiday. Me and my family go down to Roto-vegas (Rotorua) to watch rugby league at the park.

There are many attractions in Rotorua like the luge, Agrdome, meet the locals, parks and many others. Every year we go out to a place but this year we didn’t because we went to my aunty and uncles place. There house is really big and really cool. I played with my cousins.

We went to see my brother play rugby league for Tamaki Makarauand they played five games and won the the tournament and so did Counties Manukau for the Wahine Toa. My sisters, sister played for Counties and they took out there section.

After all the games we were all tired and i fell asleep. The next day we packed and left to go have breakfast and then we hit the road. When we go home i never fall asleep even on the way there. It was really fun and i was gutreted we never went any where this time.

Tennis


Yay Tennis had arrived to Pt England school. Today tennis was enjoyable. It was intense, competitive and exhausting. We were practising how to use a tennis racket, We were on the senior courts with a man named Marcelle. He plays tennis for a club

It was hard and easy but the boys got it done easily.The girls just weren’t eager to face the boys in the mini comp. We moved on to doing drills but before we started playing a mini comp we had to know how to handle a ball and the tennis racket. So we spilt up into different groups and practised hitting and the whole class got to have a turn with playing on a mini court.

We played a game called King/Queen Of the Court. In groups we had to pass the ball over to the king (which was me) and then I had to hit it back to them without hitting the ball over to the line or hitting it out. It was fun and then...

I got moved to another group so I could get a challenge but I still smashed it at the other group but I was still the king. It was really funny because every time someone won they had to do a victory dance. I had to do it all the time.

Next week we have another session in the morning, Marcelle said to rm 21 we will practise using our back hand and and have a big tournament. He was saying we are really good and really sportie, It is really exciting.

Manly take it out 2011

Last week the Warriors and Manly played for the 2011 NRL grand final, fighting their way through a tough season. Who is going to win ? Well considering the way Manly played this year it was really good and that they read the game well. It was a pleasure that the warriors stood out this year also. It was Nerve racking and also fun.

It was the warriors second time that they have made a grand final. I was watching with family and my aunties and baby cousin. We were all yelling supporting both teams and it was very loud. It was really emotional too.
They all played good games and played hard in the final, but the one that stood out the whole year was Dally Cherry Evans ( Manly Half back). He played exceptionally well and is an awesome kid.

I thought that it was really cool that the Warriors made it but the Manly side took it out. Maybe next year the Warriors might take it out

Paragraph Re-Craft on silly sports

First every body started in there own classes and then we roataed. Room 21 started with playing ball tegge and then we moved to the slingshot. Ms Tito was taking the slingshot, that was my favriote. It was the best because you could earn up to 100 points and who ever got the most points got to have aturn with at lunch time. We only scored 10 points unfortunetley,because Stevie slinged the shot and it hit me so Ms Tito gave us points. That was a the best activity.

Silly, Funny, Different And Energetic.

Silly, funny, different and energetic Games played in the middle block of school. Down on the bottom field, team 5 teachers (Mrs Lagitupu, Mrs Nua, Mr Harris and Ms Tito) each put on an exciting games, including a slingshot, sponge and water, ball tagger and hold a tennis ball on a spoon. It was a rotation of 10 minutes each activity.

First every body started in there own classes and then we made our rotation. Room 21 started with playing ball tagger and then we moved to the slingshot. Ms Tito was taking the slingshot, that was my favorite. It was the best because you could earn up to 100 points, and who ever got the most points could have a turn with it at lunch time. We only scored 10 points unfortunately, because Stevie slinged the shot and it hit me so Ms Tito gave room 21 points.

It was Funny at Mrs Nua’s game because you could get wet but the objective was to try get as much water in one bucket to another. It was funny because people kept squeezing the water before they even got it in the bucket.that was the funniest event.

I was glad that we had that opportunity to spend with the different teachers. It was awesome that we could get out of class and to enjoy the sun. It was really funny, silly, different and energetic.

Howick Hornet Taking On The Otahuhu Leopards


Nervously waiting for the finals as, the Otahuhu Leopards take on The Mighty Howick Hornets. It is so good that the Hornets are taking charge and pride with how they play. That is why the hornets finished in a good place.

It was a thrilling year for the Hornets finishing on the top of the Fox Memorial premiership. It was a tough year for the hornets with there 50th Jubilee. Well isn’t that a cool present?

On our way to the Mount Smart Stadium, It was a nerve racker. Thinking about the game was really scary thinking that something bad could happen. It was really exciting and also scary.

When I got there I had to get changed and warm up. It was awesome because we looked the same as the players and even people wanted to take pictures and told us that I looked like the 14th player. ( I thought it was funny).

It was halftime and the score was 12 - 4 to the Hornet leading the whole game. It was really cool hearing the crowd going wild and crazy. It was the end of the game and the hornets take it this year leaving Otahuhu with tears. It was the first time in 50 years that the Club has been in a final and last year it was the fist year that we have been in the Fox Memorial Premiership.

My brother Tony Tuia got the Doug Price Player of the day And also got Fox Prop of the year and also got nominated for the Fox player of the year.

Me and Miss G Trying something new

This morning me and Miss G tried out a new online resource called brainshark.
At the moment we are unable to podcast on our netbooks, but this resource just might help us. We had a few issues with the microphone so we had to record the audio on Miss G's laptop, but I'm sure that this can be sorted for the future.

Term 2 Roller coaster

Term 2 has been a very successful term, with many things including Net books, Tamaki tech, I am making movies 2, swimming, taoga time and sport. This term is based on Bigger, Better, Stronger and Faster.

This term there has been heaps of different things. So far my best thing was soccer because our years 7 and 8 soccer team traveled to Sacred Heart College and came 2ND in our pool and 3rd overall. it was a fun experience and also tyring.

Every day I learn something new on my net book. Our net books have been really helpful and successful to our learning criteria. It is also fun because you can download heaps of games and also use it like it is a book.

Tamaki Tech has been a roller coaster experience for most student here. I am in Electronics with Mr Maholtra. At the moment our group is making a simple circuit that has a light, siren and a switch to turn it on. Using a sodaring machine is like working as an electronic fixer.

Term 2 has been a really fun, exciting and wonderful term. I hope Term 3 will be like this term.
