My Favourite Manaiakalani Film

[->Summary<-]

My Favourite movie from the manaiakalani film festival was called How to: Survive A Day At School. It was from Stonefields School Learning Hub 9. The clip was about how to “survive” at school. At first I thought it wouldn’t be funny but after a while it was! The funniest part of the movie is when the main person cheated for a test. His classmate saw him and then ripped up his answer sheet. Then sad music played while his answer sheet started to shred to bits and pieces.The actors in the film were Twiss, Samo, Jackson and Ben.

[->Opinion<-]

When I watched it I laughed the whole way through! But there was a good side to the movie as well. The movie told us how to succeed in a test. The steps were to study hard and get ready for it. There was another scene where a bully was bullying the main person. It also told us how to deal with bullies. You can watch the clip down below!

The Wish Fish

In my dreams I see… A Fish? I awoke from my sleep which seemed like a deep, deep slumber. I rose from my bed but my back kept pulling me down. It felt like I had been sleeping for 100 years. I yawned and had a big stretch..

I managed to get up. I hadn't felt this hungry in a long time. I asked Mum if there was anything for breakfast. She said that I could take some money and go to the shop and buy some food. So I walked to the store.As I walked passed the pond something caught my eye.

The pond had fish swarming around, and I smiled for the first time in months. There was one golden fish staring at me. It popped its head out and said “You… Will be very rich tomorrow. Covered in wealth.” Then he swam away. My mouth popped open and I walked back home. The next morning the fish was right. I woke up with money in my wardrobe, and my drawers were full of money as well. I was using money as a blanket!  I yelled out “WE’RE RICH!!!”

Bionic Arm That Senses!

Summary:

Somewhere in the US, Scientists have invented a new bionic arm. How it works is that the arm sends electrical signals to the nerves in the patients arm which allows the user to sense more again.

Opinion:

I think that this could be the solution for everybody with disabilities. I wish I could study mechanics so that I could build something amazing like that.

A Spooky Shattering

Summary:

At the Barnsley Auction Centre in South Yorkshire, people believe that there was a break-in but the only thing they found was glass everywhere. When the security checked he found something much scarier than what he had seen. The footage shows the moment when a glass cabinet door opens by itself before shattering into pieces without any explanation!

Opinion:

I think that this is pretty scary and creepy. I wonder if ghosts are really haunting us? Now I’m really scared of ghosts.
