Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012 - School is cool

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

As I walked outside I saw fireworks glazing in the sky. Beautiful colours everywhere lighting up the sky like a rainbow. I heard explosion that sounded like loud drums banging I heard children laughing and screaming. I heard my neighbours dog barking at the sound of fireworks. I felt scared and excited, I could breath the smell of smoke. What a magnificent night that I will never forget!
