Do you want to have some fun?

Have you been to Rainbow’s End before?
Well, on Saturday night  I was jumping for joy because I heard  that my aunt and I were going to go to Rainbow’s End. I was so excited because I wanted to go on all those rides like the Gold rush or the Invader. It was 6:00 pm and we were still at home  However 20 minutes later, my aunt called me and told me to get ready and that we were going to Rainbow’s End.  

As soon as we arrived at Rainbow’s End, I ran straight to the entrance. My aunt paid for us and I ran straight to the Fear fall. I was not one bit scared of the Fear Fall. I wanted to see all the lights and the cars. When we were going up, my aunt started freaking out. When we got to the top,  we had to wait for a bit for a sudden drop. My aunt screamed like it was the end of the world because she was so scared aunt was screaming like nothing. She was so scared.

The next ride that I went on was the Power surge. I was flipping around like I was crazy. I was getting so dizzy. When I finished the ride I fell down because that's how dizzy I was. The next ride that I went on was the Log Flume. The part that I really liked during the ride was the water. I also liked the drop at the end because I almost got wet.

The rides got better and better. The last ride that I went on was better and better and the last ride I went on was the Stratosphere. This ride was so much fun. It was the best ride that I went on that night. But then it was time to go home.

That was the most fun I have had for a while. The next time I go to Rainbow’s End, I want to go on all of the rides.

Have you ever been to the Manaiakalani film festival before?

Have you ever been to the movies before?
Well, last , Wednesday the whole of St Patrick’s School went to Sylvia Park to go and watch our films at Hoyts at Sylvia Park. Firstly, we lined up with a partner to get ready for the bus. My partner was Lasike. After that, we went on the bus. As soon as we jumped off the bus, everyone was excited that we were actually going to watch our movie for the first time on big screen.

I was a little bit nervous because  I thought Kevin or Gabby might make a mistake with the introduction. After we went into the cinema,  Mrs Twomey told us to go up to the couches at the very top as there weren’t any more seats left along the rows assigned to us, Lasike and I were so happy that we could go go and sit on the couches. We were so comfortable. Then this man introduced the schools that were there, like Glen Innes, Glenbrae and many more.

The first movie was wonderful, I liked the back ground that they had in their in their movie and also their costumes. The next movie was so different to the first movie. It was called ‘Judge GI’. She had resolve situations for some fairy tale characters, like snow white. . Many more movie followed and then it was time for our film to play on the big screens . I was scared. Our presenters did a great job standing in front of such a big audience.  After that, we enjoyed lots more movies and then headed back to school.

Wow, what a great film festival! I think the next film festival will be even better because we’ll be making more amazing movies.
