Fresh and Smooth (Production ) =}

 

My Opinion About The Production. 

My opinion is that I enjoyed this production. There's Manaakitanga, Manawanuitanga, Kaitiakitanga and a lot of comedy. I find this production to be awesome and entertaining. I loved the characters, side characters, dances and songs. Owairaka did an amazing job, with the costumes, dances, scripts etc. This was fun to learn and practice, my classmates and I had a couple of laughs and we had fun. 19-21 classes performed in the production and we only had like 4-5 weeks to practice, and it came out awesome. The script speakers were amazing, even the Rimu team did great.

What it was like practicing with Room 23 

I think we started practicing in week 2 or 3?  

It was hard when our class had to restart the dance when someone messed up, to be honest it was exhausting!!! 

What song did we dance to?

We danced to Welcome home 

Children who had a speaking script in room 23.

Phillipa, Frances, Palak (Dayelle at the night performances), Aymen (Castiel ATNP), Tupou, and Bentley

Children who were featured in the short film video

Ashard, Palak, Dayelle, Navala, Yahya, and others (I forgot, sorry ) :{

What this production is about. 

So in the start we see two yogurt containers, One girl named fresh and a boy named smooth, they are siblings (Twins) and they lived in a family's fridge with alot of other foods like a carrot, milk, eggs, and many more. A mother took (I believe it was smooth) smooth out of her fridge and gave him to her daughter to eat, and put Fresh in her lunch box for school. Then smooth was put into a rubbish bin later disposed of to the ocean and as for fresh she ate her at school then threw her into the school drains, separating each other. (I believe Fresh went to Wellington and Smooth was floating in the ocean). Fresh went to wellington and smooth went floating around in the ocean, Fresh was in wellington for like 30 minutes and smooth was in the ocean for 3-5 hours. Fresh and Smooth went on many adventures to find each other. They went through rivers, oceans and forests. The ending is what my class performed, it's where fresh was found on the beach by Palak in a short film video in the starting. In that video its just about some children in Room 23 at Pt Chevalier and they were picking up plastic/rubbish scattered all around the beach and Palak (Student) found Fresh in a bunch of seaweed, then the teacher (Navala) called them all back, and then they went back to school. This is where Room 23s part was. First Phillipa said her line, then Frances, Palak (Dayelle), Aymen ( Castiel), and tupou. Room 23 went off stage then Fresh met Marmite (Bentley) and they talked and Marmite agreed to help Fresh find Smooth. After that, Smooth walked in then, that's how they found each other. That's the end. <3

The Lonely Man (What I see and my story) =)

 

What i see 

I see a man sitting on a broken tree, he has a green T-shirt, blue pants and black gumboots. The gorilla is small and chubby, it has black fur and long arms.

My story, 

Gently, the man sat down on the broken tree covering the passage way. Looking up he noticed the cold winter wind had brought with it some dark unpleasant clouds so sombre, it was like a big brick wall was covering the sun. It wasn't gonna rain according to the weather forecast,  but he believed it was gonna rain anyway. He knows nothing of the world other than the jungle, that's why he was so lonely. Desperate to have at least one friend he started talking to himself.  He sat there talking to himself and then he heard some leaves rustings, out came a gorilla. When they had an eye connection he felt something he had never felt before. It was as if the gorilla and him were meant for each other, the gorilla sat next to him and they both just looked down at the floor. 

The Lion and the Mouse

 

The Lion and the Mouse

Harry the brave lion was strong, mighty and brave and that's why the animal kingdom loved him and made him king. He has a thick shiny gingery orange mane, sharp teeth and claws, beautiful green glowing eyes, and soft skin. Harry made all the animals in the animal kingdom scared of him.

On the other hand the mouse was small and fragile, and squeaked every 10 seconds. Mouse would get scared of nearly everything he came across. Mouse has a small brown body with large yellow eyes.

Once the mouse got up the bumpy large rock lion slept on and tried to wake the lion up, he tried and tried but never succeed.Some animals nearby heard a squeaky trembling voice coming from the rock and were wondering what was going on. Mouse was still trying to wake the lion up, mouse yelled “Hey,King lion! Wake up!! You need to teach me how to roar!!”. After the mouse's non stop squeaky yelling stopped, the lion woke up. Lion screamed “Get off me!”, “Dont worry King lion, I'm friendly! I'm here to ask you if you can teach me how to roar”. After that they both learnt no matter your appearance we are the same all the same.

The Tunnel writing 2

 

Sharks have a very large nose, a shark's nose covers most of their face so if it was rushing towards you. For an example, you would see the shark's nose, eyes or its fin depending if you are in the water or you are on a boat, or something in the water, or near the shark's territory.

I personally think that these characters would be happy and excited. The advice I would give them is, If you get frightened easily maybe you should leave the shark alone and paddle away.

Catch Me If You Can!

 

Just swimming near the sand! 

I'm just looking for some pretty seashells, to make a beautiful necklace! 

Hopefully I find at least 12 seashells to make the necklace bigger!

I'm just gonna go a bit deeper, to explore.. And see if i find anything..

ooOo, What’s that? It looks like a shark tooth! 

I'm going to swim to it, to see what it is! 

Uhh, there's something behind it? Maybe i should go back now..

Hmm, Nevermind, I'm going to see what it is :)

Uh,this feels like jelly? Hmm..

Soaring through the sand I think there's something behind me?

Whoah, a shark? I think I woke it up when touching it?

wOah there buddy, 

Maybe I should swim away.. And hope it doesn't follow me…

Erm, I think something is following me?

Oh, it's just the shark, Maybe it wants to play a game? 

Hmm how about tag!

Aha! I touched the shark, and it started chasing me, so I guess he  knows how to play? 

We were soaring through the sand like a rocket ship launching into space!

Finally the shark got me! 

Maybe we can play later..

    

A school discovery! C:

Exhausted, the children disembarked the bus, and stood huddled together on the road. It was a cold , foggy day, and so the children , wrapped up in coats and scarves, shivered as they waited for their instructions. 

They walked up the mountain on each side and walked across it to find something new or special, They stopped when they stumbled near a giant skeleton. They took a lot of pictures and left it there… 😚😚⛰⛰

The Steep Slope!

Excited,the young man walked up the slope, The sun was burning hot, and the sky was dark blue, and the wind was blowing in his face. Time passed by and he was nowhere near the top of the slope. But he never gave up, he got encouraged by his friends to keep on walking…  About 24 minutes passed and he was only a quarter away from the top and already he was so tired, the sun was shining bright on him like he was a star, the wind helped a bit but not too much… The time was 3:36 pm when he started climbing and now it was about 4:53 pm. He was so tired, he walked every 5 minutes and took breaks….  FINALLY, he made it! He was tired and wanted rest, to realise he was the first person to climb up the slope and he has been watched...

Hanging on!

Carefully, the young possums held on to their loving mother possum as tightly as they an for their lives .Cruelly they demolished her straight to the bottom brunch nearly to their death. They got back up on mother possum and mother possum was too tired...

Soon they wretched in the middle of the brunch and the sunset was nearly set, when the morning came they were on the bott.om of the tree. Luckily they found food left over from some campers nearby that left last night. Afterwards, they had enough energy.

The Artist's Boat Ship

George worked hard to finish his art work. He put in hours into his drawing and all he needed was peace and quiet place, 2 pencils, and an eraser. He watched the sunset so he quickly finished the first part of his work. After that night, he only finished the two sheets of paper on the top, The next day he was shading and colouring it with his sharp pencils, As time passed by, he has drawn the outline of the ship, He shaded it with his pencil and it broke but he NEVER gave up. A few moments later, he did the details on the ship. He was tired so he went to sleep. The next day he worked on the last thing which was shading the sails. He was amazing and felt great and he wanted to keep it so when times passed by, he could see the differences, so he put it in his art box.
