I Declare A Ceasefire!

This week my group and I have been studying information about Armistice Day.  My slide is number 4 which is mostly about the agreement. In my group there is Malia, Izabella, Ana and myself. Armistice day is a day that should be recognized and celebrated more in NZ because it was to mark the end of WW1 or the great war. From what we've been researching Armistice Day should be one of the important days.

Back From The Film Festival!

I'm so glad that I made it back to school on the bus with my friends. As I predicted I am exhausted and happy that it is over. But not really because I still have to go to the one showcasing in the evening.

I was able to see many schools like Glenbrae, Glen Taylor and other cool schools. My favourite part was getting to see my friends and cousins from the other schools. I even got to see our old teacher Mr Sok.

At least the day is over and now I can kick back, relax and watch more manaiakalani movies.

Here is Room 12's movie! Enjoy!

The Manaiakalani Film Festivals!😀

Today I am going to the film festival with my teacher and Saluselo because we are presenters for our class film. I am both nervous and excited because this is my first time presenting. I'm excited mostly because I will get to present in front of many different schools and I get to watch their movies.

After the film festival I'm going to be so exhausted because I'm going to be there for the whole day, and I will be there in the evening. Hopefully I do well!😟 

Testing, Testing And More Testing!

This whole week was the most stressful week ever because we had to do our end of year testing. On top of that we have our cultural groups and prize giving, but I decided to focus on my education this week, as the tests are not completed yet.

Hopefully today is the last day for testing, because I don't know if I have any knowledge left in my brain. As it is near the end of the year I'm nervous because these results will determine which class I'm in next year in college. I hope I do well.

It's Nearly The End Of Term 3!

It is now week 9 the second to last week of Term 3 and I can't wait until the holidays. I like the holidays because I can spend some quality time with my family.

The worst part of the holidays is being without my friends! I only have a week and a half left to make the best of Term 3.

 Next term I'm going to have mixed emotions because I'm nearly going to college. We still have cultural groups, prize giving and many more stressful things as Year 8 students.

Making My Charity Box At Technicraft

On Wednesday Vika, Pupuke and I were continuing with our charity box. Making our charity box was easier since Pupuke joined our group because after all the more the merrier.

 The shape of our box is a cross shape which is meant to represent a hospital which is why we chose to make a charity for all the sick patients. There were a lot of different charity boxes like an animal shaped one, a house and many more.

Our last step was to dry the paper mache then it was completed.

Kahurangi!

On Wednesday we were lucky enough to watch the Kahurangi group perform and sing. They retold some myths and legends and they sang a waiata (song). The dances were quite humorous and funny.

The funniest part of the whole performance was when they selected three boys to participate. The participants were Texas, Kingston and Mr Reid. We all enjoyed the show so much that we lost track of time and it was already home time before we even arrived at our classes.
