Our Movie Poster by Tre

For the first time ever we made a movie  call G.I Boot Camp. This year we get to go to the Manaiakalani Film Festival and Hoyts. We will see our movie and others from Manaiakalani Schools on the big screen. Each school will make a poster which is displayed at the cinema. Here is our poster.

G.I. Bootcamp by Chloe

Wow, I can't believe that it's the first time ever, our school has made a Manaiakalani movie. Also a movie showing at the film festival from Glen Innes School. Having netbook's is one of the best thing that has happened to our school. Without it we probably wouldn't be having this wonderful opportunity that I am experiencing now.

Making every part of this movie has built our brains but mostly laughter. It was just like an ordinary school day. We worked during the holidays trying to finish it off before the big day. Our school disco was my main topic in the movie sharing how much fun we had there.  

Our movie contains activities, learning and shows students that have developed good values during this fantastic year. I had a awesome time making our movie.  I bet you will have fun watching it.

Earthquake Drills - Its not like the movies by Sameera

Our first movie for the Manaiakalani Film Festival shares lots of fun activities and learning at our school.  Watch out for the earthquake drill. If you practise these three easy steps it could help you in a real life earthquake. 

• Drop 
• Cover
• Hold.

These are very important to learn because you never know what is going to  be happening next. Glen Innes School has already learnt how to do these three important drills. We also talk about earthquakes happening around the world. We thought it was important to show other schools what we have been learning in our school.

Manaiakalani Film Festival by Auariki

Wow! This is my first time taking part in the Manaiakalani Film Festival. I will also be presenting our film at the film festival.

Glen Innes (G.I.) students wanted to share how we use our knowledge and the different ways we learn.
Our net-books have been fun to use. Going back through my other years I have always used paper and pencils, it was tiring and slow. But with the net-books its been so much faster than before. G.I are so proud of our net-books.

Our movie is about a boy who comes home from school and his mother asks him what he done in school today. He replies "Nothing mum".
He expects his mother to believe him, but does she?
That is why his mother should go to the Manaiakalani Film Festival and see for her self.

5+ a Day by Autymn

Today we made delicious sandwiches with lots of healthy vegetables, ham and tuna. Our healthy vegetables were lettuce, carrot and cucumber. The last ingredient was cheese. In my sandwich were all the ingredients.

My first vegetable was lettuce, then Mrs. Barry had put some tuna on my other piece of bread. The second vegetable I put in my sandwich was the cheese, thirdly was the carrot and cucumber. Lastly Mrs. Ramkolowan had handed out ham to my table, I had put the ham in my sandwich and finally put the other piece on my sandwich. It looked really nice, and BIG.

After I put my sandwich together I had took a bite, it was delicious but really BIG. When I took a bite I could see all the 5 + a day colours, it looked amazing. I hope that we do sandwich making every day and get healthier.

Remember when you eat; eat healthy and try all the 5 + a day colours as they are really delicious.  

Free Sandwich by Jelsma

Today our school went to the hall and we made a sandwich for free. The ingredients were ham, cheese, lettuce, cucumber and carrot. The teacher gave out the food, all the children were noisy.

The food was donated by Pak'n'Save Glen Innes. The sandwich was  good and my friends were acting weird especially Lasalosi.  After that the little kids went back to their class but as for us we had to tidy up, and then Mr Naidoo said, we are going to do a healthy lunch again. 
I can't wait for next week to make a healthy lunch.

Proud of Chloe

We have been learning to write and present our speeches. We had to persuade the audience to think our way. The Olympics was our theme.
The criteria we had to use to write and present our speech included, an introduction, delivery, content and our conclusion.

1)We love doing our speech like the Olympics and our problem and introductions for our speech.
2) We do a lot of work for our speech and lots of our amazing work we have done about speeches.
3) I have been trying hard with my speech. 

I think that I did an amazing job for my speech because I persevered and was true to myself when I said my speech.This is some of the facts I included.
Did you know that in the olden days people called soccer football. How many gold medals that New Zealand won. They won five golden medals.The Olympics can keep us fit. I also added my speech ideas and problems in my speech. I was talking clearly and I think that I did a nice job. 
On Friday we all  went to our school hall to listen to the speeches. Chloe came second and Room 12 was so proud of Chloe and the others that gave speeches.
