Manaiakalani film festival 2015

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2015

On Wednesday the 11 of November, we had an annual film festival. We went by bus to the Sylvia park Hoyt. When we got inside the theatre there were students practising their script on the stage. Setaita and I were sitting down and waiting for the film festival to start. Our movie was last. After that the glenbrae students went up the stage and did their script really confident. And then it was me and Setaita turn to speak up in front of students, teachers and parents. They were cheering for us. Our movie was called let’s be friends. When we finished we sat down and watch the movie that our teacher Mrs Parker created with a music background. I was apart of the movie and I felt good being an actress with other 2 students Loto and Setaita. The movie was pretty cool.

The film festival was finished and Glenbrae went on the bus back to school. I felt proud because I had the opportunity to speak  in front of everyone at the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

Our stardome trip!

Last week Thursday the senior students went to stardome to learn about the solar system.  Two classes went to each bus and all we did was talk to our friends and had a rest.

When we got to stardome there was a playground for kids and inside stardome there was  planets in the solar system and a space room where we went to learn about the moon, sun and the planets in the solar system.  The sun gots a lot of hydrogen which means the sun has highly  flammable gas, it is colourless and odourless. After that we got to look at the interesting things about the planets even the planets were in the same order like in the solar system.

Next we had to line up quietly went to planetarium even the students saw the huge screen up on the ceiling. We sat on the chairs and waited until we were settled down. The owner for stardome Vanisa were talking to us about the sirius which is a star in the solar system and so the movie started. It was a girl who was creating a project about the seasons and  about the earth is tilted for school and then her little brother came and accidently broke earth and the earth tilt. And There was different seasons in winter, summer, spring and autumn. The little boy’s robot came to real life and it started talking to them.  They went into the rocket ship and talked about the solar system, And They came back and stop the seasons in her bedroom.  Finally the movie finished and then we went outside and got to play for and hour. We went back to school and we were so tired.

I felt happy because we got to learn about the solar system and got to watch a movie about the seasons and the earth’s tilt.

The problem with Pluto

The Problem with Pluto by David Hill

SJ Level 3 Feb 2012

WALT: Use a cline graphic organiser to order words with similar meanings

WALT: create an acrostic phrase

There are lots of different words that describe the comparative (to compare) size of an object.

Use this cline scale to find the words which indicate size and fit them along the scale (click to edit the image)

People used this acrostic phrase to remember the order of the planets: My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies. Now that Pluto is no longer an official planet create your own acrostic sentence to remember the order of the planets.

Letter	Planet	Original Phrase	Your Creation
M	Mercury	My	My
V	Venus	Very	very
E	Earth	Excellent	excellent
M	Mars	Mother	Mother
J	Jupiter	Just	Just
S	Saturn	Served	Saved
U	Uranus	Us	Us
N	Neptune	Nine	Ninety
P	Pluto	Pies	hhPies

3. Write a paragraph summary explaining if Pluto is a planet, and why/why not.

Pluto is a dwarf planet because a celestial body resembling a small planet but lacking certain technical criteria that are required for it to be classed as such. People loves Pluto and there love Pluto because it is alive and well.

Pluto the dwarf planet was adopted in 2006 as part of a three way categorization. A dwarf planet Pluto can orbits the sun like the other planets in the solar system.

What causes the seasons?

What causes the seasons?

Seasons change every 3 months. Each year is marked by different weather and hours of daylight.

In autumn there are light orange leaves falling from the tree top and coming down really slowly to the ground.

In winter there are white snow coming down from the sky and it is very chilly outside.

In spring it is really warm like the heat conditioner. Spring is like a little bit cold sometimes.

When summer is hot and if the sun is really hot you may get skin cancer from the sun.

We have these seasons because the earth is on a tilt as it makes it yearly journey around the sun. When we are on the left hand side we are pointed away from the sun and get less sunlight, but if we are on the right hand side we are pointed towards the sun to get more sunlight, so it is summer.
