Manaiakalani Film Festival

On Wednesday 13th of November our whole school went to Sylvia Park because we were going to the movies to see our awesome videos that our school made.

First, we got into our houses and the big people chose the little people. Two houses got on one bus, I got paired up with Mikaela, my friend.

We got on a bus because it was a little bit far away.
It was very loud when we all got inside but also very warm.
We all had to go toilet before the movies and have a drink of water too.

The three schools who showed their movies in our screening were Panmure Bridge School, Tamaki Collage and Point England as well as our own school. We watched 23 movies altogether.  My favorite was Cave Man Rap and the Class site movie.

It was the best day ever! I loved all the 23 movies, they all made me laugh and smile.
