Event Cinemas!

I was lying on my bed gazing at videos on YouTube, so close to falling asleep despite it being my 10th time sleeping that day.


It was such a dull and plain Friday evening and we were filled with an unexplainable amount of boredom. No matter how many times I tried, there still seemed to be nothing to do that day. However my fabulous parents decided that we should go to the movies. I was excited but the fact that I was still in bed and already relaxed it made me have the intention of not getting up to get ready but my parents did have that intention so obviously I had to get up.

They were talking about what movie to watch. I was standing there thinking, Just pick a movie, it can't be that hard! I walked to the computer where they were checking the online website of the movie cinema and surprisingly making the decision about which movie to watch turned out to be more of a challenge but eventually, my mum, sister, brother and I made the final decision to watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and for my dad and my other brother to watch the Fate of The Furious.


We had to make good use of every second of the day because no time to waste so we instantly left the house and got into our car. As we were driving to the Movies we picked up our brother from the Auckland University as it wasn't too far from the Cinemas. The amount of cars and people in the city was uncanny, there were so many cars driving. So my dad dropped us off on the side of the road while the cars were barely progressing in the flow of the speed. We crossed the road and I was running thinking, "I'm dead" several times in my head. I was terrified...


Meanwhile my Dad was finding a space for our car to be parked in, so my mum, brothers and I went into the Movie building to buy the tickets and food, in my opinion the greatest part about the movies. We bought 4 large popcorn buckets to share between the six of us and six large drinks. My parents could probably tell by the look of our faces that we were screaming, "MOOORREE" in our heads but it would never happen. When we were all set to watch the movie we headed off to the cinema full of excitement.


The movie we were watching was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and it was hilarious and a very adventurous movie. I loved the movie and the plot. I really do recommend it for families and kids over 10 years of age. The movie was so cool I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. My favourite character from the movie was probably Baby Groot because he was adorable.


When the movie finished and we left the Cinemas our parents asked us if we wanted to eat Burger King. We answered sounding innocent saying, "Well yeah, if you want" but inside we were dying to eat Burger King and besides our mum was too tired to cook something for us. I ate a BK chicken burger with Medium Fries and Medium Coke. I was so satisfied with what I ate. When we all finished eating we drove back home, all feeling tired as if we went around the world without getting any sleep.  

Despite the fact that the aftermath was my whole family being extremely exhausted, I had an awesome day at the Movies and I am glad that I did at least one fun thing in the holidays.

I can't wait to work on my new wood project!

It was a really cold and windy day when the Year 7 students from Room 8 went to Mr. Nair's class.
Feeling very anxious and nervous I walked into the room and immediately I could smell wood and craftworks. The room was filled with tables that looked as if they were splattered with paint. I chose to sit at the back with my loyal friend, Mana.

It was nerve-wracking for me and I felt only a tiny bit of confidence. The first question he asked was, "What is Technology?" Everyone was stone-faced and very quiet. We answered and said the Technology involves Laptops, Computers, and Electricity.


Afterward, we started a discussion about what we were going to work on for the next 9 weeks of Technicraft. Mr. Nair said that we were going to make wood cartoon characters of our choice but we will be adding screws to it so that it is able to move around. I was so excited and couldn't think about which cartoon character to choose, there were so many characters in my head, Batman, Sponge Bob, Wonder Woman and so much more.

Finally, it was time to go back to school. I enjoyed my time at Technicraft and I am really looking forward to my next Materials Tech.
WALHT: recall my day at Technicraft ensuring I add detail to my main ideas and use a range of topic and sophisticated vocabulary to maintain audience interest.
