Manaiakalani Film Festival

“Yay we’re going to the movies.”

On Wednesday 13th November 2013 we went to the cinemas in Sylvia Park, to watch the Manaiakalani film festival which was made by all the 13 schools in the whole cluster.

We hopped into the bus and sat down then we set off. When we got there we could see lots of other schools. We saw St Patricks, Glen Innes Primary, Panmure Bridge, St Pius X School and Pt England.

We got inside the theater and all we could see was a gigantic screen and lots and lots of chairs. The chairs were so comfortable, we sat down then suddenly the lights turned off.

We started watching lots and lots of films. My class was first, our movie was about Success. We had four things happening in one movie, we all got split up into four groups. There was Tokilupe’s group, Patrick’s group, Alecia’s group, and Roserine’s group. There were main characters in all four groups, the main character in Tokilupe’s group was Seauti, Alecia’s was Rosalina, Patrick’s was his whole group, and Roserine’s was Victoria.  

After our movie it was Glen Innes Primary School, their movie was about no more chocolate in the world. At the end two girls made chocolate that was called the Wonka chocolate.

We saw 17 movies but altogether there were 62 movies made in the cluster. My favourite movie was ‘No Chocolate in the World’ by Glen Innes Primary because at the end they made a chocolate that looked so yummy.

There was a lot of awesome and funny movies. We also saw Room 6 and Room 7’s movie from our school. Room 7 was singing their song that they made this year with a video clip, room 6 movie was about Lockdown, when a bad person came and had their basketball, it turned out to be Mr Slade Room 6’s teacher pretending to be the bad guy until he took off his hoodie.

That was the 1 of the best days of my life.
