Beach Poem

Where i’m from as I lept off the rough sharp rock I felt like if I was Michael Jordan jumping like a kangaroo sending spray of water up in the air like a water fountain.

Where i’m from I can feel rough sand grinding between my toes feeling gritty like sand paper.

Where I’m from I see kids having fun splashing the water at each other having a war where who goes down first.

Where i’m from I smell

Where i’m from I hear the icecream truck ringing across the road as it comes closer.

Where i’m from I see my brother on my console as I hear the disk spinning round.
Where i’m from I see seagulls squawking on my front lawn as they seek for scraps.


Where i’m from I hear my next door neighbours playing loud music when i’m trying to sleep.

where i’m from I smell something burning from the oven as I hold my nose.

Protester (POV)

In 1981 we the protesters marched down the field ripping the netting off the fence we started chanting “1 2 3 4 we don’t want no racist tour.” As we started to make a human shield in a circle the police began to surround us. The rugby fans started to boo at us  as they threw empty cans and rubbish at us. But luckily we wore helmets and  used our signs made out of wood  as shields.

We were trying to protest the game because of the Springbok Tour. People around the world were  all  starting  to boycott South Africa.  Other countries were put pressure on South Africa to improve their civil  rights and abolish apartheid by  not  trading products  with them or not playing sports with them either. They tried to make South Africa have equal rights with the black people. Mr Muldoon ignored the racist tour and invited South Africa for a game of rugby.

The Hamilton game between New Zealand and South Africa was cancelled during this disaster.

Movie Reflection 2

The message about our movie is Martin Luther King. He was trying to make peace with the black’s and white’s. Our planning we did a animation for our movie because it takes too long to film. We made some changes along the way with our rap. We did not have any filming in our video.


Our graphics for our animation were good and it looked realistic because we traced. I did not think the movie flowed well because we were going back and forth with MLK’s history and it did not make sense

Our group worked ok with the movie and everyone contributed well. We kind of worked out our disagreements.

Movie Reflection 2

The message about Tevita, Frankie and Mateo’s movie was about love and taking care of each other but at the end Frankie got rejected for some reason in the movie but at least it was funny at some moments. There filming was a bit shaky at some bits but we could still see the video and that it is good about the video. There acting was quite good and It really showed like the music. The movie flowed well but at some point it got a bit mixed up and confusing and funny. They worked well like a team.

They need to work on their filming stability more recently because it was shaky at some scenes but we were able to look at the movie.

Movie Reflection

Our movie is about a word called love. Its not as good as others but at least we have created a movie. Our filming skills were pretty good we didn't have to use a tripod and that is how good we are at filming. Our kind of act is pretty good and funny at sometimes that we sometimes we make people laugh. We weren't able to draw any graphics or animations at the moment. We worked with our group like we were in a team and everyone contributed very well and managed our time on the deadline and it worked kind of perfect with the theme.

What we need to work our movie to try to be like a story but it was a bit hard for the for the movie to interact with the song so we made something else. Our movie did not flow quite well but at least something that we have made.
