Our Cardboard Expedition

Have you ever experienced the brand new cardboard expedition before? Well just recently we had two wonderful gentlemen come to our school to show us what cool things we can do with it. The way they made it was obviously just get the box and transform it into a box that can be turned into a 3D box, and then pop in your smartphone and hop on the site and began the fun. “Mr Clark” did a show and tell about what we should do with it, just to keep it clean and make sure it doesn’t break and restarts.

But as soon as you look into the cardboard expedition, they put 3D goggles inside so that it would look realistic and way more exciting. So before we got to begin the excitement we had to listen to “Mrs Tele'a, and “Mr Clark” about the rules and how to hold it once the teachers pause the screen. And when we finish watching the 3D screen it will say “paused by teacher” and then they will ask us 3 interesting questions about who was in their? What kinds of creatures and animals were in the picture? And where were we (what country, city, or island) exactly?

We put the 3D cardboard on and explored the wonderful things around the world. The first place that we explored was the rain forest and it was so cool because it actually felt like I was there but I wasn’t if only the people, animals, and sky was able to move on the screen. This was my favorite place out of the other 10 places we visited because it felt calm, secured, and most of all the animals, insects and creatures in the rain forest we’re enjoying the quietness.

Oh I forgot! Once we visit the place that is on the screen we have to try and find an animal in the screen, guess which place we are and what season we are in. So as soon as we finish visiting that place they asked all of us those questions and I didn't actually guess I already knew that it was the rain forest because it was the look and the feel that told me it was the rain forest. But I didn’t quite know what season we were in and where the insect was.

I really hope we get to do this again because I really enjoyed and know that everyone else did. Because visiting places like that especially when it feels realistic can be very nice. Like Seeing people who have never seen before, spotting different things in the world that we have never noticed before, locating the places. And the cold blooded motions the change every 2 seconds maybe more. This was the best experience for the week!

Manaiakalani Story

MANAIAKALANI

Are you a part of the Manaiakalani family? Well Manaiakalani is a place where people enjoy watching movies and experiencing what other schools do compared to the school you go to. Usually every year my school “Pt England” go with “Tamaki College” but this year we are going with a school that has never been to one of these before. Which is “Ruapotaka primary and intermediate school”.

Some schools usually just make 10-15 movies but our school makes over 20 movies because it is based on each class room. So every year their school principals or teachers pick 2 people from their school to present in front of everyone to show and tell what their movie will be about. And my class presenters were me and one of my best friends Quasia. Manaiakalani has always been held in one place which is in “Sylvia Park at the cinemas”.

As we all sat on the mat in the street with our bags at 12.30pm, and our teachers trying to tell us how we need to act normal and do the right thing by striving to succeed in the cinemas. We all made our way to the buses that were waiting outside for us and we made our way to Sylvia Park to watch amazing and creative movies.

As we made our way there everyone besides the presenters had to sit in the front to get ready to present and show off our movie that we created as a class. Halfway through the movie this Tamaki College girl named “Gloria” presented a short film that shows everyone who is a year 8 and is going to Tamaki college can get a scholarship. When we finished watching all the movies after about an hour and a half I honestly think that room 2 had an awesome movie based on how you need to keep clean and always wash your germs away before touching someone or something.

As soon as we finished going to Manaiakalani we made our way back to the buses to go back to school. And as we went back to school we started doing our practice for the year 8 prize giving performance. I honestly think that this year was the best year ever but I would like to be a presenter for College again because it was so much fun this year especially facing my fair.
