Manaus

 Manaus, on the banks of the Negro River in northwestern Brazil, is the capital of the vast state of Amazonas. It's a major departure point for the surrounding Amazon Rainforest. Just east of the city, the dark Negro River converges with the brown, muddy Solimões River resulting in a striking visual phenomenon called the “Meeting of the Waters.” The combined tributaries form the Amazon River.



Sugarloaf Mountain

 Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 m above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar.

This week we are having High School week which we have to move to different classrooms from different times. For Literacy I am in Room 8 with Mr Sok and for our activities we had to research and write 5 interesting facts about what country we want to visit one day. The country I picked was Brazil and the reasons why I wanna go there is to visit the stunning Iguazu Water falls and to try out delicious meals.

Our steps we had to follow to make a biography was to write their childhood,early life, adult life, pathway to fame, nationality/country and facts. While doing this biography I found interesting things about Liam Neeson. Hope you enjoy!

 Here are some photo's of us that our teachers took at Sylvia Park. Schools that were there was Glen Brae, Point England, Tamaki College, Tamaki Primary,Stonefileds, St Patricks, Glen Innes & St Pius. Watching films from other schools was amazing and also some of them were funny. But most of the films I watched was about Covid-19 Lockdown.

My team's film was picked and it is called " A Message From Glen Taylor" The film was made by Faiana,Wint,Tracey,SYC & Paris. I just want to say thank you to all the girls for making this film.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

 Yesterday was a full on day for me because I had to present to different schools in different cinemas. We went to Sylvia Park Hotys and it was fun. I was a bit nervous when I went up on stage but when I had faith and also the confidence I just act like nobody was there and that I'm just talking to a ghost. I was so excited to cast my film that my friends and I made. The film is called "A Message From Glen Taylor School".


Here is what I said:

Hi Everyone,


A message from Glen Taylor School is a film created by Room 11 students. It is filled with inspirational quotes and words of wisdom to help you realise that you are special.


We hope that when you leave today, you are inspired and motivated to embrace your uniqueness and strive to succeed! Don’t let anyone stand in your way!


Go forth and conquer!
