Thank You Soldiers, May You Rest In Peace.

This is not ANZAC day, It's Armistice Day, its the day when The Germans and The Allies ended WW1. My group made a slide of what Armistice Day is about.

I would also like to thank all those soldiers who sacrificed their lives just to let all of us live in this world. So thank you again.

Phones Off, Eyes On! The 11th Festival Is About To Begin!

There was lots of laughter, positive emotions like cheering for the presenters, and just even more laughter.

In total 13 schools were involved (Including Ruapotaka) in the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Every school made movies so it took a big chomp of our school time! The juniors in our school were so overjoyed in the movie so that some of them couldn't sit still!

I'd say all of the 13 schools tried their best to not entertain us, but to tell us countless important messages.

Here is my class film.

Technicraft #2 (Food Technology)

Fish Pie, there are two alternative versions, with hard boiled eggs, or mashed potatoes. Today we made it with:

• Mashed Potatoes (inside a baking tin)
• Tuna, mayonnaise and mushroom cream mixed together.
• And some grated cheese.

So we put the mashed potatoes at the bottom of baking tin, we then scooped the tuna, mayo and mushroom cream and put it on top of the potatoes with an addition of grated cheese.

The Manaiakalani Film Festival. This event happens every years around November, so to every school who has a Chromebook, did you know that every school in NZ that have Chromebooks for their Student is a part of the Manaiakalani Film Festival?

We hope to see a lot of schools and creative movies ahead of us at the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

Please Remain Silent, Tests Are About To Commence.....

Tests, one of the most anxiety breaking things in school. Sure it might give us a better future but, it's so time consuming! I mean, 45 mins per STAR and PAT tests, seriously.

It does give us peace and quiet that you've been thirsty for but, its like your in a library except your working.

It's still great how they give us tests which will exercise our brain. Not only does it show us that we should be better than before, it shows you that with practice comes perfection.

Welcome Everyone, To Term 4!

We all had a great two weeks but unfortunately, we have School again! Boo. Oh, was I supposed to be happy? Oh okay.

This term we're going to have multiple assessments, also with some special events that happen twice a year in the Manakalani community, with an addition of heart-breaking moment at the end of the year.

So to all of those year 8's that only have one more term before they go to college, be BTB! And make most of your time with your friends, teachers or anyone else! Because it might be the last time you talk to them.

Happiness Is The Last Day Of School... Just Being Honest.

As you can see by the title, I am relieved  to no longer be in school. Though it will be very depressing that I won't be hanging out with my friends. Instead I will be able to catch up on some fantasy writing that I've missed out since the weekend.

I will see you next term! Cheerio!
