A celebration of culture

Polyfest is a festival that celebrates every culture. The ASB Polyfest features traditional music, dance, and speech. Around Auckland, students come compete on five stages, Maori, cook island, Niue, Samoan and Tongan. There is an another stage call diversity stage, it's for other cultures that are not included in Polynesian.

The first activities was AUT, some of the people from AUT university came and explain how important our school is and they ask some us questions. I learnt a lot of things from polyfest. One of them are, when there's a fire going on going in your kitchen you don't use water to settle the fire because water and fire don't go together. So you grab a kitchen cloth and wet it and put it over the pot.

We had lots of fun, we thank you to the teachers and the parent helpers who helped us go there.

Slow Mo

For this year's Manaikalani Film Festival Room 1 shot a bunch of scenes in slow motion. We had so much fun making this movie. There was a lot of laughter and a few tears when the water balloons failed to burst on impact...whoops! We hope you have as much fun watching this as we did making it.

Girls Don't Fart Okay

This is Room 1's Manaiakalani film festival entry for 2018. We read and loved Lisa Regan's book Girls don't fart okay so decided to turn it into a movie. It was a challenge to condense the whole book into a 3 minute movie but with using a bit of creativity and artistic license we got there in the end. Do girls really fart? Watch and see?
