The Lockdown Commotion - A Manaiakalani Film Festival Entry 2020

It's the Covid-19 lockdown.  Schools are closed.  But something is stirring in Room 7 - yes, there is a commotion in the class.  See what happens when school shuts down.
 

It's all about me!

What we now know about angles.

During our google hangouts today, the students shared on the padlet, what they have learnt about angles in the last two days.

Junior's Recount about his school holiday

A special day in my school holiday.

During the holiday my family and I went to Rainbows End to spend time

together and have fun.

When we arrived I was filled up with excitement that I sprinted straight

to the bumper karts and believe me the line was as long as the sky tower.

Finally, it was my turn and as soon as it started I was flying around the

place because I was getting hit from every direction.

 After that, I zoomed to the bumper boats and of course, the line was to

long. Thirty minutes later and I  was in front of the line and when it was my

turn I went for the yellow kart because it was my favourite colour. When I

hopped in, I couldn't control it at the beginning but luckily, I quickly figured

out how to control it like a pro. I kept on going for my brother because he

was getting cheeky and cocky so I bumped into him so hard that his stomach

hit the wheel extremely hard. 

Later on, we went on the roller coaster when I hopped on it started and halfway

I nearly threw up because it went in a circle that felt like you were gonna fall to

fall off the carriages but what scared me the most was when the track made

the roller coaster swirl in circles.

Minutes later we went on my favourite ride which was the INVADER! This time

I actually went to the toilet straight after the ride because I felt like a falcon

flying without feathers.

Hours flew by, there was only one ride we needed to go on and that was

the fear-fall because we saved the best of the best for last and as soon

as we were on the seats all I felt was goosebumps all over my body. It finally

went up and I looked down, butterflies were in my stomach when we at the

top it stopped and I thought it was broken then all of a sudden it went down.

It felt like a whole bunch of wind was blowing all at me at once.

Overall it was a really exciting day with my family and I will definitely not

forget this day for the rest of my life.
