Manaiakalani Film Festival

WALT - write a recount

It was the 10th annual Manaikalani Film Festival of 2017. This remarkable event took place in Sylvia Park Hoyts Cinemas on Wednesday the 8th of November. A great amount of students from different schools in the Manaiakalani cluster have also watched the movies in the Hoyts Cinemas.

As we were seated in our seats we were excited and comfortable at the same time. We watched other movies from diverse schools and they were interesting and also not really the kind of movies I usually watched. The movies from Pt England School were the funniest. Some movies from Pt England that we watched were Slo Mo, Taste Test, Ask Your Aunty and other more cool movies.

After a long period of time watching these fantastic movies. We then went back out of the cinemas waiting for our buses to return back to school. I really enjoyed watching these fabulous movies created by students from each and different one of the Manaiakalani schools. You can click on the link to watch different movies from other school.

Hooray It Was MARKET DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Walt: write a interesting and detailed recount
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the past few weeks we have been going to our Trade and Enterprise groups. Making orders and selling products. Our year 5 and 6 block had their market day on Friday. So many visitors came over to our space and bought  products what students had made. Visitors had come  from christchurch  to see and buy our products.

We had lots of groups that students attended to make their products. The reason why we are having market day it’s so that we can raise money in our bank accounts. This market day is about raising money for students in their bank accounts and selling their products. The groups students had attended are custom stationery, Kitchen, Home ware, Jewels and Accessories, Musical Instruments and also toys.

Teachers was setting up during morning tea. We had to move chairs, desks and tables. Chairs, desks and tables were moved everywhere. It was moved outside the porch, inside the classrooms and furniture  lying around.    

Lots of people and kids were buying and selling products. In each groups they have been making candles, soaps, drums, flutes, squishy balls, chocolate fudge, hot chips, slime and final last loom bands. Not that much people had byed products they just byed what the like and wanted. The products people sold was heaps of products they had sold.    

So my group is homeware and we sell our products by packaging them. We were splitted into little groups and our product was making candles. We pack our candles by putting it into a jar and selling them to customers. My group and I didn't wrap the candles so we just put them into a jar so that you can light the candle inside.

My experience about market day is when I sell products to customers talking to them and how customers like to buy our products. My feelings about market day is when I was so excited to sell my group's products  to customers and that they give money to us.

Trade Fair/Market coming Up

Walt: use language that paints a picture in the mind of our reader

This term’s topic it is called Trade and Enterprise. Trade and Enterprise is about trading products and selling products to people introducing what you are doing and presenting. In our classes team 4 has been splitted into 6 little groups and we earn money called PTs also we have our own Bank Accounts but different to adults.

The whole point of this was to gain more interest. The meaning of that is to get more customers than everyone else. At trade fair everyone was hustling people to come and buy their things. In my group it was me, Rima, Danielle, Hethet we made 21 orders. Trade fair is a fair when bunch of students (people) presenting and introducing their products to people, showing what work they have been doing and working on from the past few weeks. I had lots of fun presenting my groups product.

A part of Trade Fair was our groups there is Home Ware, Custom Stationery, Toys, Jewelry and Accessories, Music and finaly Kitchen. I’m in Miss Lavakula’s group. In our group we sell homeware products. Like soaps, candles, carved soaps, carved candles, making air fresheners and other cool products that we have made. We had to split into little groups so that we can figure out what product we are making. In our little group there is Danielle Rima Htett Htett and Christian. In my little group we are making orange and skull candles.

My experience at the trade fair was really fun and cool looking at other students products. But some of them were are little bit boring but it was still cool looking at them. I ordered maybe lots of products. I ordered some custom bookmarks, made instruments, and loom bands. What I love was the other products but I didn’t by them because it cost a lot of money.

It was a lot of fun hustling to people and getting them interested into our products. There is a market coming up on week 8 so we got our orders and counted them to see how many we got. It was a lot of orders, so we had to make their candles ready to sell at week 8.

For this task we had to write a recount about our past trade fair. We had to use language that paints a picture in the mind our reader. We also had to add specific vocab into our writing.     

My Immersion Assembly Recount

Walt: use different types of sentences to improve writing

Has your teacher ever fed you healthy food during assembly? They gave out healthy food like cream picalets, little pancakes, sandwiches, carrots and celery such as sandwiches with different fillings in it. But the cream piculets and little pancakes were from Mr Burt, Mrs Nua and Mrs Garden. The topic for this term is called Tinkering tools and toys.

Classes seven, six and 8 were lining up in their lines to go to assembly. When we got to the hall we sat down. We saw a weird flying drone helicopter flying in a spot and controlled by a touch phone isn’t that cool?  The assembly started so Mr burt gave the microphone to Ana so we can say the karakia. After that Mr Burt was talking about the korero.

Finally Mr Burt was finished so Team One did there item. Miss George came up and talked about healthy food, healthy playground and that there will not be a dental clinic anymore. Team One showed us a long video about sandwiches that's large and small, fruits thats doing facials and funny stuff. After that Team One was finished so it was team 2.

Team 2’s item was a bit boring but there were teachers dressed as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore. Miss Berry was Eeyore and Eeyore was sad that he can’t do his own house. So his friends Piglet, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh helped Eeyore build his house. And Christopher Robin (Mr Barks) came and helped too. As soon as Eeyore’s house was finished Team 2’s item was finished.

Team 3’s one is when Miss King came up and talked about rainy days and that they have nothing to do when its rainy day. So Team 3 showed us a bit long video when its raining and then they activities and other games. Team 3’s item was finished so it was team 4 (my team). Team 4 showed us another video about what to do when its a rainy day. So another video came up and it was my teacher Mr Somerville, pretending to be in a video game and defeating enemies.

That was finished so it was team 5. Finally team 5 was finished and then Mr Barks came and talked about a hovercraft. He built it and he asked Mr Somerville to come and be and have a try on it because it can float in the ground. I felt excited to go and see it but some were a bit boring. Team 5 was the best item i’ve seen because they were dressed up as armies. I hope you Enjoy My Writing.
