I don’t think this task is impossible but I do think that it is going to be very itch and hard work. I also think that this task might be possible but there is a 50-50 chance of it being successful.

My Favourite Film For The Maniakalani Film Festival 2014

SUMMARY:

My favourite film from the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2014 is a film made from the people at Stonefield School by Learning Hub 9. The video is called Penguin Wars 2. It is a film about two penguin tribes that fight over a school.

OPINION

I think this is a very cool film. I really liked it because no other school had done this. It probably took a really long time to take all the photos and put them all together.

The Passageway and The Note

You find a lot of old stuff hidden in library books! It was an ordinary day and I was going to the Auckland Central Library. I lived a few blocks away from it so it was easy to get there. Obviously it was the most popular library and there were always a lot of people there. People normally fight for their book even me. I ran and got a book called “The Tunnel of Good”. Once I touched it someone else came and snatched it off me. We started pulling it when suddenly a note dropped out. I got the note . I ran to the bathroom immediately and read the note. It said “To understand this clue you must read the book it was in”. I finally realised that I had let go of the book the clue was in.The person that snatched the book off me was Sally Penningham. She is the fastest reader I know so I knew I would get all the information off her that I needed.The next day I went to Auckland Central Library again and got the information I needed. The story said “go to the entrance and they’ll be a little door”. “Go through it and you’ll find your way to the other side of the room”. So I did what it told me to do. When I did it, it took me to the bathroom. The Passageway was really useful especially when times I needed it!

I think that this is cool and surprising at the same time. The Bionic Arm would be really useful if I had a prosthetic limb and it probably is for Igor.
