We are learning to write a description
 I can do this when I write a brainstorm and a script to describe the 2015 Manaiakalani film festival. 

Transcript:
 On the 11th of November 2015, Glen Innes school, Glenbrae school, Panmure bridge and my school St Patrick's School went on individual bus to travel to Manaiakalani film festival. It was held at the one of the biggest malls in Auckland called Sylvia Park. We have this film festival once a year because we are part of the Manaiakalani cluster. Each class had to make a three minute movie and then it is presented to the other Manaiakalani schools on the big screen.

I am good at pretending to be a mannequin!

On Saturday 19th of September my family except for my mum went to Sylvia Park to buy uncle a suit for the St Peter's ball.

When we arrived at Sylvia park, we went to Hallestein Brothers to look for a suit. While we were at Hallestein I looked for hats. When I was there, I wondered if I should do a public prank. I thought about it and then I decided that i'm going  to follow through with the prank.

First I stood like a mannequin and then I waited for people to come past me. When people came past, I waited for them to look at me for a little while before I jump out at them as fast as I could then I watch their reaction. I scared about 20 people. After that we went to the food court for lunch.

At the food court my uncle and I went searching for something to eat. My uncle said, "let's go to the fish and chips shop. When we got to the fish and chips shop, my uncle ordered a John burger and I ordered a little John burger. Then we went home.

I had a fun time and I hope the people that I scared forgives me for scaring them.

What is your best soccer move?

On Friday 4th of September my favourite cousin came over for a sleep over again.

The first thing we did when he entered the house was played indoor soccer. I did the best soccer move ever in my life.I kicked the ball over my head from behind me then kicked it to the goal Bruce lee style. After that incredible maneuver my cousin got angry and went upstairs to play games instead.

Upstairs in my room was my cousin playing Minecraft. Minecraft is a game where you build and explore. You can also fight online gamer's and kill Zombies, Spiders, Skeletons and also a big blop of slime. My cousin was playing with Jacob, my friend from America. After that long game we went to watch a movie called Straight outta Compton.

Straight outta Compton is a very bad movie, it has foul language and inappropriate scenes. The movie was based on trues story about a crew called N.W.A. N.W.A was a famous rap crew in the 1980's. They were known as the most dangerous group. When the movie was over we all fell asleep like angels.

After all that madness everybody had a great time. Next time I should not show off my soccer skills too much so my cousin does not feel intimidated.

I miss my family overseas. Do you have any families overseas?

On the 5th of August my family auntie and I went to Tonga for two unveilngs.

On the plane, I watched a show called Good Luck Charlie. Good Luck Charlie is about a girl named Teddy Dunkin who makes video diaries for her younger sister to watch when she is older. At the end of the video diary, Teddy says her phrase, "Good Luck Charlie".

During Good Luck Charlie I felt a headache. My dad said it was air pressure as we were landing. After we arrived we went out of the airport and we went straight to Longoteme because we had to help with the grave stone 

After the grave stone was organised, I went to meet up with some old toko's. ( Toko means brother in Tongan). I met up with a couple of boys at their school and I played Rugby with them. I scored two tries and seven perfect tackles.

After that day, I asked myself, "Did I do a good job, did I work hard enough." I don't think I did. I will try harder next time and I might take some gum with me next time to help release the air pressure in my head when we are landing.

Did you have a good sleep over?

On Saturday 23rd of May, my cousin was dropped off at my house for a sleep over.

First we went on the computer to play some games. 5 minutes later we got bored so we watched TV. We watched Big Time Rush, Mr Young and icarly. Then my mum left to go to my aunt's house. After that the fun began.

We played indoor soccer and we used a cushion as a soccer ball. We played soccer in the living room. My cousin almost smashed the TV because he kicked the cushion and it went towards the TV like a speeding bullet. Lucky I was being a good goal keeper so I blocked the ball.

Next we moved on to a different activity, boxing. My cousin almost knocked me out because he swung faster than Many Pacquia's fist. However he missed and punched the vase instead. We were lucky that it was not smashed otherwise we would have got in deep trouble.

When my cousin punched the vase, he got scared and said "lets play karate". I kicked him so fast that my foot was like a bullet train. I punched faster than the Karate Kid. However my aim was off and I ended up hurting my cousin because kicking him in the tummy.

After my cousin was hurt we had to stop.  Before long we went on the computer and played a scary game called ask the spirit. I got so scared that I screamed like a 6 year old girl. Then we heard a noise. "Mum is here!", I shouted, so we cleaned up the house faster than Usain Bolt. Then we ran upstairs and played video games until 5 in the morning.

My cousin and I had a great time, I should go to bed early next time and use day time to play games so it doesn't affect my health.

While my family was cleaning I was inviting my closes cousins over. After that I went to my room and started practicing my amazing speech. Before my granddad came my mum bought the cake in a click of a finger because we live near the bakery. Then my cousins arrived.

My granddad opens the door the light were off then SURPRISE. We all had to meet him before we eat. When we were about to eat I said a prayer and said my speech. My speech brought tears to his eyes. Then I gave him his new watch, he loved it, he said "a ten dollar watch replaced by a gold $200 watch". Then we ate takeaways my aunty bought.

On the 10th of April my amazing dad, uncle, sisters and I went to the movies to watch a movie called Spongebob sponge out of water.

When we arrived at the movies we before going in we had to buy our yummy snacks and and tickets. While we were waiting for the movies to start ready we took photos of us at the Time out zone. After a while we asked the man when we could enter, he said, “Right now.” So we entered.

After we sat down the little kids behind us  were talking very loud! When the movie started, the kids were still really loud. I was so annoyed that I had to block my ears until they stopped talking. Every time there was a funny scene the kids behind were laughing like crazy. I was so annoyed.

After the movie, my family and I were waiting for my dad because my dad went to watch a different movie. He watched Fast and Furious 7. We waited for two hours at the Time out. We spent all our coins on the arcade games. After two hours, my dad came out of the theater.

I had a good time though I was annoyed. I got to eat, drink and play games. Next time I will if I meet them again ask them to keep quiet.

Try spending more time with your families!

In the holidays, my dad and my sister picked me up from my aunt's house to take me for a family barbeque.

When we arrived at One tree hill, the barbeque wasn't ready so I went to help my dad and his older brother with the cooking. We cooked meat patties, chicken pieces and sausages. I was bad at cooking because I burnt everything so I took my dads phone and watched some videos on YouTube. After that people started to arrive.

I got bored so I gave the phone to my little sister to play with and I went to play cricket with my cousins. I hit the ball so hard that it went flat. After that the food was ready and we ate some.

I ate a burger with a sausage and a patties. It tasted yum so I finished all my food. My cousin and I went off to the trees and played water fight. I got so wet because he had two bottles to attack me with

Do you want to get wet?

On Sunday my dad asked Patelesio, Lupe and I a big favor. Wash the car. Patelesio was so excited that he took off his T-shirt. First we had to fill a bucket full of water. Then Patelesio poured the bucket all over the car and I got the hose and gave him a big surprise. Patelesio got mad and chased me around the house with a water bottle.

 Then my sister came outside and wanted to join in on the fun so Patelesio squirted the water bottle at her when he was doing that, I gave both of them a big surprise with the hose. I snuck behind them and turned on the hose they said Revenge will be ours and they went around the backyard and filled the big bucket full of water and poured it all over me. I chased them both and trapped them in a corner. I said in a French accent "say hello to my little friend" I grabbed the hose from behind me and sprayed them both. 

After that we went back inside and we all took a long hot shower.
I had a lot of fun with my sister and my cousin, I hope we get to do it again soon.
