Hi from all of at in Room 8 2014.  We are the seniors in our school and we are looking forward to the challenges and responsibilities we will meet across the year.

One of the key responsibilities we take on early in the year is being Road Patrol  Monitors.
The role of keeping the students in our school safe when crossing the road is very important.

I was absolutely amazed by the determination of the key character 'Henry' right from the outset of the novel, I became very aware of this.  Being able to confidently talk with a adult and not backing down but remaining polite the whole time and not loosing you cool, that really says something about a person. Henry wants to be a 'Warrior' - not the ones you read about in adventure books, but a genuine team player of the Warriors NRL team!
 I guess many boys who are 12 like Henry  might have that as their goal for the future  however, Henry doesn't have any intention of waiting till he's older.... He wants to be a 'Warrior' now!
While I can understand his enthusiasm, I think that going to see their coach  is a pretty big thing to do.  Henry thinks he's got what it takes and more a special something.  At this stage I predict that Frank (the coach) is going to give him a pep talk something like come back in a few years and then show him the door.

Manaiakalani Film Festival - Frankenburger

For our second year being part of the Manaiakalani Film Festival we wanted our movie to be bigger and better. We also wanted it to be different so we based our film entry on changes of matter. Our plot inspiration came from this article about a group of scientists making meat patties from cow cells. They named their meat patties 'Frankenburger' and we used this as the title of our movie.

The film crew consisted of Angela B, Aaron, Williefred and Naanise. Before we started filming we had to plan and create a storyboard which took a couple of weeks since we were still deciding on the ending of the film. As part of the film crew we were in charge of making the movie for our class. We wanted this movie to be bigger and better than any other movie at The Manaiakalani Film Festival.

When we created this movie we asked the question... if cow cells could be turned into patties, what would be the outcome if the cells from other animals were used to make food instead of what we normally eat today? If you were to think about eating food created from cow cells, would you? This type of question, as our teacher would say, is 'food for the brain'! What would be the consequences from eating chicken burger made from cells of a chicken? Would you still eat it?

Special thanks to Ms Bullôt for providing the resources and equipment needed to create this movie and we also thank her for her support and encouragement across the journey of this movie.
