Six-Sentences Story

Once Upon a Time there was a handsome boy named JayJay. He lived in a small cabin with the sight of a nearby river. He was a poor boy but he had the ability to heal anyone who was injured. The problem was, no one believed he was able to do this. He felt betrayed, but one day he saw a girl bleeding to death. He decided to heal the girl in front of the whole village, and that’s when the people made a celebration about this amazing save, and gave him the label, Chief.

My teams name was Combat and how the game works, Mrs Stone gives us some paper that has some resources on it. Coffee, Electronics, Lumber, Oil and Gold.

This work was for week 3-4, since most of us didn't finish on week 3. Just as usually, Whaea Kelly gives us a school journal and picks a page so we can read about it, then answer the questions she has made for us. This article wasn't too bad, it wasn't easy or hard but I was able to finish it.

Kawau Island/ Yr 6 Camp!

Walt: write a recount about a personal experience. Organise our ideas into a series of paragraphs.

On the 21st of November the year 6’s went to Kawau Island. Some parents came and helped organise camp. It was HILARIOUS and also FUN! My group was call Bentzon.

The first activity that my group did was Sailing and it was sooooo fun. Junior, Petesa, Grace and I went on a Sailboat alone and the others went together in doubles. Mr Goodwin called me “Captain Trendy”, the other activities that we did was Concorse, Burma, Abseiling. Those activities were FANTASTIC!

On our arrival at Kawau Island the first thing that we did was the boys did a little Haka. Then we got off the ferry and we took all the luggage on to the deck at Kawau Island. Then we grabbed our day bag and started to walk up the Killer Hill. We were all exhausted from doing the hike.

The 3 activities that we did last was Kayaking, Bivouac and Rafting. Bivouac was my favourite activity on that day but my actual favourite activity was Sailing because I was not only the best sailor but when I pulled the rope it made the boat go faster.

I would really like to thank all the helper’s and also to my aunty and uncle, the bus drivers, the ferry driver, Mr Burt and Peter & Erin. I would really like to thank Peter & Erin because they let Pt England go to Kawau Island.

I really enjoyed playing Spotlight because when we played Spotlight my uncle got Justice and then he heard me (i was up in a tree) but he never caught me and I couldn’t go to the deck in time because he was being very sneaky. I learnt that Abseiling isn’t that scary, all you have to do is relax because Jayden the guy that was holding you isn’t gonna let you go.

Task Description: We went to Kawau Island and had lots of fun. we came back and had to write about camp so when we grow older we will think about camp and we would wanna read about how fun camp was.

Manaiakalani Film Festival :)

Walt: Write with a specific audience in mind.

Dear all the organizers and helpers that came to the Manaiakalani Film Festival, I would like to thank all of you guys for helping set up the movie’s so we could watch it at the cinemas. I would really like to thank every helper that helped.

The Manaiakalani was Fantastic because I got to see some movies that were hilarious, cool and all kind of other stuff. We even got to see some from St Patrick's School, their movie’s were mostly about earth. We went to the cinemas to watch most of the movies, it was big and dark.

My favourite part was watching the movies because it was really entertaining to watch movies from our school and other schools. Everyone made a movie that had to do with something but my favourite out of all the movies is “Journey To Awesomeness” because my brother and cousin’s were in it.  

Next year I have a plan on what to do for the movie, I was thinking maybe we could do a “Reverse” movie. That would be satisfying. Watching people pick up something off the ground without touching it, it looks like they have “Superpowers” but they actually don’t but it would look really cool if we did do a movie about Reverse stuff.

I really enjoyed watching movies and I also learnt that earth is more important than anything in the world so look after earth because if there was no earth we wouldn’t even be here. Also Thank you so much to the helper’s and organizer's for setting up this amazing event.

Task Description: We wrote about the Manaiakalani film festival, and it was great fun when we got there. we got to see a lot of movies and they were FABULOUS!
