Let's go shopping!

On the 18th of May, it was wet and cold. My mum, sister and I went to The Warehouse at Sylvia Park. We went in my mum's big silver car and I was very excited to buy some new things.

When we arrived at the shopping mall, we decided to stop at the new Whitcoulls store that was right next to The Warehouse. There were a lot of books and toys on sale for half price! It was so cheap!

Eventually, we made it to The Warehouse, we walked to the girls' clothes aisle. My sister picked out grey track-pants and two hoodies for herself, while I was wandering around looking at lots of cool things. I saw funny circle cushions with different types of emoji faces such as a happy, sad, angry and surprised faces. They were so adorable and I really wanted to buy them all.

As soon as my sister finished picking out her clothes, we walked quickly to the onesie aisle to look at different kinds of onesies they had on sale. There were animal onesies such as, lions, pandas, pelicans, penguins and cows. I decided to try the size 12 panda onesie because it looked so cute in the changing room and it was a perfect fit. The panda onesie had a cute hood that had small ears and kawaii eyes. My sister got a cow onesie and it looked very funny on her.

When we finished our shopping, we cleaned to go to Pak'nSave to buy some popcorn because we were starving! We bought the popcorn that you could heat up in the microwave. Finally we got home and cooked the delicious popcorn.

I had so much fun at The Warehouse and my favourite part was eating the delicious popcorn. Maybe next time we can watch a family movie together and eat some popcorn.

Have you watched our awesome 3 minute movie yet?

Learning intention: We are learning to write a description.Success criteria: I know this when I write a brainstorm and a script to describe the 2015 Manaiakalani film festival.

Script:On the 11th of November, Saint Patrick’s school went to Hoyts cinemas at Sylvia park in the bus. We went there because our school is part of the Manaiakalani cluster and we had a fantastic 3 minute movie to present to the other schools. We saw short movies from different schools like Glenbrae school, Glen Innes and Panmure bridge.

Wow! The movie Pan is amazing!

On the 10th of October my siblings, my dad and I went to the Hoyts cinema at Sylvia Park.

When we arrived at Sylvia park, we decided to buy some food at Pakn'save. We bought some hot dogs and drinks.

Next we went into the hoyts building and we bought two tickets for Pan and three tickets for Maze runner 2. I watched Pan with my brother because it was the only movie that was suitable for me. My sister, dad and other brother watched Maze Runner 2. We all bought some popcorn to eat. I was so excited and ready to the movie. I ran to the cinema swiftly and quietly.

The movie we watched was a preview of Pan. It was about a boy named Peter who tried to defeat Blackbeard in order to find out where his mum was.

They went on an amazing adventure with crocodiles, fairies and Mermaids. Unfortunately Peter Pan's mother was killed my Black-beard and even though Pan was sad, he still had the power to fly and defeat Blackbeard.


I enjoyed the movie that I watched and I hope that I would be able to watch it again. After the movie I walked slowly to the car because I felt tired and excited to go back home to have a rest.

I had so much fun at the movies and (I hope I can go to the movies again to watch another great movie like Pan.
