The Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012

On Wednesday the 15 of November 2012, the year 7's & 8's went to the Manaiakalani film festival at Sylvia Park. As we all got to the theatre, lots of children from other schools came to the theatre as well. I thought we were not going to fit in the theatre because there wasn't enough seats . The lights were off and people started to cheer and clap. The movie's from other schools were exciting and interesting, one of them were very funny like room 18's. It came to the end for the year 7 & 8's to leave. We had to leave the theatre as soon as possible for Tamaki college because they had 2 more movie's left to watch. I really had fun watching everybody's movie from other schools.

The Firework Accident

Once upon a time a 7 year old boy named Timmy, was walking home after a tiring day at school. It was getting dark until a big loud bang, happened in the city. He wanted to go see what was going on so he sneaked outside for a closer look. As he got outside he saw fireworks blasting 1 by 1. He was shocked, seeing all the colours made him still like a statue. He sneaked back inside quietly because he was suppose to go to bed for tomorrow’s athletics.

On the next day, Timmy came home after a tiring day coming 3rd place in the 100m sprint. His mum was home bringing a big box inside the house and Timmy wanted to see what was in it. He opened it with his eyes closed, and there were fireworks inside. Timmy was so excited to see them at night. After a few hours later, His mum was lighting up the fireworks and ‘BANG’ 1 by 1 the fireworks blasted until the fireworks fell and blasted on him.

Timmy’s arm was burning and he dropped and roll, on the grass to get the fire out. His mum called the ambulance and they came as soon as possible. They took him on a stretcher in the ambulance truck and off they went. “He could not move his left arm for 8 months” said the doctor. After 1 year later, Timmy was running against the grand champions and won by one second and his mum was happy so they lived Happily ever after.

Volcano Eruption In Guatemala

I am going to talk about how a volcano erupts. The magma will make its way through the rocks and ashes. The pressure of the magma will make the plates move in the crust. As the magma pushes all the rocks and ashes through the main vent of the volcano. It will blast all the rocks and ashes and make a massive ash cloud in the air. Lava can cool down while making its way the water.

In Guatemala a volcano had erupted near the capitol of Mexico. 10,000 villagers had to evacuate there homes immediately. Fuego is one of the most worlds active volcano. Villagers were seen escaping the capitol, Guatemala city 31 miles away. All air travels were cancelled after a big ash cloud spread for miles and miles around Guatemala. By Friday morning lava had blasted over four miles away from Fuego's crater.

In the North island of New Zealand, Mt Tongariro had erupted last month. The eruption caused a big ash cloud in the sky. Lava was spewing out of the volcano.

The Roller Coaster Ride

Once upon a time there were two girls named Carly and Natalya, and they were going to face their fear by going on the biggest roller coaster ever.

They were arriving at the carnival As they were walking to the roller coaster. Carly and Natalya were shaking in fear because it looked so high they were thinking that they would fall off. They got in front of the line and they were up next to go on. As they got on, the safety protection came down and they were scared. The roller coaster was rolling as they were holding hands. As they went up to the big hill on the roller coaster it went down super fast. Carly and Natalya was screaming “AH!”

Then as the loop was coming up they were upside down then part of the Roller Coaster came off and they were falling. Suddenly Superman came to save all of them at once at the speed of light. They were still screaming because Part of the roller coaster was about to fall on them but Superman save there lives again by putting it down softly. Carly and Natalya was Shocked in fear as Ca rly fainted on the ground.

She woke up in bed and thought it was all a dream, But it never happened or did it?

The Haunted House and Slender Man Forest

Chapter 1:  
Billy , Max , Silas and me heard a rumour about a haunted house in the middle of nowhere. Silas reckons we should go but Max and Billy said it looks scary.  We convinced them that they should go so we all went.

At the house, Silas opened the door and the door creaked we all went in Then the door shut closed really hard with a bang Then we got all scared. We heard a crack sound in the kitchen we all jumped “AH!” Max wanted to get out of this house but the door was locked. Billy tried to calm Max down. I told Max, Silas and Billy to wait at the door as I went into the kitchen.

I saw a plate cracked in pieces but I didn’t want to picked up the plate shard. As I got back to the front door Max , Silas and Billy was gone, I was wondering where they went. I walked into the hallway and opened a door and there was a library so I went in. I found a key on the table under a letter and something was in this room too. I peaked around the shelves and a monster came chasing after me. I was running for my life up the stairs into the bedroom.

I lost the monster and found Silas hiding in the closet but he was shocked. I told him where Billy and Max was but he kept shaking So I looked around the house to find Max and Billy. I found Billy and Max in the basement tied up. I untied them and told Silas to come out of the closet. We all ran out to the front door and saw the keys to open it. But suddenly the monster came back and chased us. As We all ran out into the public the monster was gone.

SMOKING KILLS

Smoking is one Dangerous thing in the world. They say that smoking can affect your life and you can possibly die from it.  

There is a chance of getting a heart disease and a stroke. You can die faster smoking at the age of 13. 1% of the world die every year from a second hand smoke ¼ of the smokers in the United States tried to quit smoking at least once but smoking was in there lives.

There are people the age of 16 smoking tobacco, that is the restricted age to smoke. children that have parents smoking may let the child smoke when they get older
What I have learned about smoking is to never smoke when I grow up that's why smoking is not our future.

Not So Bad After All

Cross Country was the day that everybody has to run. Getting a sticker with your name and age. I was supporting Te Arawa. When it was the 12 year old boys turn to run I had butterflies in my body thinking I am going to come last.

Clap! Everybody started running off as a Bullet as my legs get muddy. Running on the Pt England Reserve Seeing my shoes covered in mud. It was hard to run because there are deep holes in the grass. Finally making it up to the concrete feeling a little bit exhausted. There were puddles right in front me, running through it made me get wet.

There were more and more puddles until the the course had smaller space in the bush walk. Slipping over forwards and backwards trying to get a grip on the path. having trouble to get up the steep muddy hill. Feeling scared to run down a small spaced muddy path. making the last 50m coming 4th to last.

My legs had mud up to my knees. I was feeling that this day was not so bad after all.
