This is some states of matter work I have been working on.

Film Festival Blog Commenting

 In Room Two we have been learning about writing quality blog comments. Quality blog comments need to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. We have watched previous Manaiakalani Film Festival entries and we made notes about them and turned them into quality blog comments so that we could get better at making them.

We made a DLO which had comments about different aspects of the films that we watched. You can read those comments on the slide that is embedded below. The slide below is the comments we made on peoples Manaiakalani Film Festival entries.

And Then It Went Dark

And Then It Went Dark

Hello my name is Jazz and I’m going to be telling you about my 16th birthday. It all started on the 17th of April last year I woke up to the birds chirping and my Dad singing happy birthday. My Dad's real name is Simon. I don't have a Mum. She died in a car crash when I was three so it's just me and my Dad and my Dad’s boss Will who is also his best friend and lives at our house. My Dad bought me some breakfast in bed which was some delicious pancakes. Once I finished eating my Dad left the room so he could get ready for work and so I could get ready for school since it was Wednesday. I started walking to school. I felt like someone was following me and watching my every move. And then it went dark…


There was a hand over my eyes. I started screaming and yelling “leave me alone, what do you want, let me go.” I got put in the boot of a car, the car sped off and I could hear sirens and they sounded like they were following us. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. My wrists were tied together with rope and so were my ankles. The kidnapper had put a piece of tape over my mouth but I was able to get the tape of my mouth. After about 30 minutes of driving we finally stopped. I couldn't hear anything except people whispering. Someone opened the boot and there were four people standing there wearing dinosaur masks. There were three older looking men and what looked like a boy around my age. They were wearing all black.


One of the older men put a blindfold on me and picked me up and lifted me over his shoulder. He started walking. I was screaming and kicking and trying to get out of the guy's grip but he was not gonna let me go. After about 20 minutes of walking I got put in a chair I still had my blindfold on so I don't know what was happening. The boy around my age took off my blindfold. I looked around and I was in an abandoned warehouse. It was dark except all three of the older men were holding a candle. We have come to get you, we promise we will not hurt you. The boy my age pulled off his mask “of course it is you Billy.” I thought that me and Billy were getting to know each other and I thought he was nice but now I'm not so sure.


After about two hours of sitting in the dark scary warehouse alone Billy comes in and gives me a plate of food and then leaves. It went dark again. I started screaming and I could hear people moving around. The next minute the lights turned on and all my friends from school and all my family were standing there. Billy came over to me and untied my wrists and my ankles. I gave him a big hug and I thanked him then I ran over to all my friends and family and gave them all a big hug. We celebrated my birthday with food and partying.
