Conjoined Twins Separated!

In the recent past, two conjoined twins, Eliza and Mary were just separated at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. They were joined on the chests and had survived a very difficult and hard 7 hour marathon surgery. Eliza and Mary are feeling better and are still recovering. It was the 21st case separating conjoined twins.

I feel really happy that they had survived a marathon surgery. If you wish to read more about their surgery, click on this link.

"My Experience Of Being a Manaiakalni Presenter!”

It was another time of fun laughter where I get to present at Sylvia Park for the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012. Naomi and I represented rm 19 yesterday and we had to stay at sylvia park the whole day. We presented for the first session and the fourth session.

I felt so excited to go. I saw a lot of different films from different schools. Room 19's movie was entitled, "From The Inside." Waiting and waiting for the fourth session, Vivienne, Shoal, Naomi and I felt vvveeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyry hungry.

It was nearly time for the the Pt England Intermediate, Tamaki College and Pamnure Bridge Intermediate lot to come and was also time when Naomi and I got ready to present.

Everyone came and finally settled down in the theatre.

Walking on to the stage, and into the bright light we went, I can barely see anybody in the theatre. "Hi my name is Naomi." She said. " And my name is Hosannah!" I said loud and proud. We said our speech and we walked off with a smile.

"What a cool day I had." I said. But my friends and I felt exhausted and had head-aches.

Narrative: Emma's Mum!

There was going to be a production at Emma’s school and they needed good actors to help them at their rehearsals. They were decorating  the school hall so it looks creative.  Mariana (new school girl) told Emma to bring her mother, (everyone knew that Emma’s mother was an actor.) Suddenly Alice (a student from her school) said, “If you weren’t new here, Mariana, you’d know that Emma’s mum never goes anywhere. Mum reckons she never leaves the house.”

Potiki Dance Crew!

A fantastic and talented group of kids, ages 12-16 years old are competing in The National Hip-hop Competition. They are called, “Potiki” Dance crew.  They were practising for the National Hip-Hop Competition and it is only one month away! Their coach is Mariabeth and most of them were Pacific Islanders. One day, I wish to be in a dance crew and become famous.

Meeting George!

This week, our task was to complete our “Daily No Exceptions.” The first step was to read an article and write a narrative of what happened before or after, so this is what I imagined.

Kevin and his friend, Tama grew older and became famous All Black Players. They were just like the old man George Nepia who taught them how to kick. Both boys had good couriers too.

Tama and Kevin became the two best kickers in their group. Both of them let everyone know their story when they met George in their young age.

My Favorite Film Festival Movie!

Yesterday was a very fun and loong day for Naomi and I. We stayed at Sylvia Park from 8:00am-3:30pm! We enjoyed the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012.

Lots of schools came and  presented. When the year 7&8’s came, it was my time to present. It was fun and cool.

We watched rm 18’s movie, “The Test!”It was my favourite movie of all. The funniest actors were Starford, Jephte and Raihan. What I loved about their movie is how they were really into acting and I like the camera shots. Room 18 ROCKS!
You can watch the movie, above! If you would like to visit Room 18's blog, you can click on this link.

Balloon Challenge!

On a bright morning Mr Harris decided to make it a fun morning. It was a 'Balloon Challenge!!' For our task, we were each handed with a balloon and a skewer.  Then we have to try and stick the skewer in balloon without it popping without the magic ingredients. I was the first person to pass it and Athena was the first person to POP IT!!

After everyone else finally passed the first task, we took turns trying to blow our balloon into a bottle.  It was so difficult that a lot of people turned purple. We all failed that task. I thought that my ideas will work.

We all thought it was impossible because we never made it through. But do you think you can make it through? Go to this site and follow the steps, GOOD LUCK!
