L.A. Movie


This is a last minute movie that my friend and I made for extension. We have been working on this task for 5 weeks now, but my friend and I made this movie this week. This movie is about the Point England way and what we do here at Point England school. ENJOY!!!

We have to give credit to the three girls (Cameo, Venetia and Yvonne) who didn't do anything in this movie which is why you cannot see them.

Lucy and I made this movie in a week!

Mr. Corny strolled through the forest late in the afternoon. Mr. Corny was searching high and low for a new love interest to grow old with, as he was a lonely manacorn. (Male unicorn)

Mr.Corny’s hooves were becoming brittle after walking all over the island’s forests jagged rocky ancient foot paths. In the near distance he could see a bright orange bob hairstyle sitting on a pink piano bench. He gallopped over as fast as  Usain Bolt would sprint. Mr. Corny had a delightful view of an adorable young girl, slowly swiveling gazing behind her to see Mr. Corny.

Mr. Corny’s jaw dropped to the ground as he puked rainbows. While he puked rainbows, next to him was a mocking human using the puking rainbow filter on Snapchat mocking Mr. Corny. Mr. Corny didn’t find it very humorous, he shot him an evil look before he picked the tourist up by the back of his collar flying across the forest like a George of the jungle smack BANG! Right into an old Kauri tree.

Mr. Corny took a big breath as he slowly stumbled towards the young girl. Her eyes twinkled at Mr. Corny he gazed at her while she laid her fingers upon the piano keys... Mr. Corny was prepared for a song from an angel from high above... He stood for a moment waiting for her song of love and affection towards him. Her mouth slowly opened then…

AAAAHHH!

That was no angel! She was obliterating all of the lovely wildlife! Mr. Corny was mortified at the sound of a Tasmanian Devil affection song! Mr. Corny hurried out of that forest as faster than a cheetah. Not knowing that the little Tasmanian Devil was hot on his tail. She pounced up on to his back. He managed to buck the Devil of his back.

She suddenly made Mr. Corny’s world transform into a nightmare. Ginormous AMPS came rising fast out of the ground! He was surrounded with no way to escape. He turned in circles, there were no gaps. Mr. Corny scanned around him to see if he could spot the little girl, he looked up onto the mountain high speakers to see her with a D.J. mixing kit and a microphone. A bit of rainbow puke dribbled from his mouth.

AAAAHHH!

It was even worse! Along with her horrifying voice she added dubstep dance music to it. Mr. Corny’s brain was being filled with dark rain clouds and evil clowns he was overheating, Mr. Corny was ferocious... MR. CORNY HAD ENOUGH! He used all of his unicorn sparkles within him and flew to the top of the AMP. Mr. Corny gave the D.J. kit a hard kick! The little girl’s drink tipped onto the console. With raspberry soda pop all over the D.J. console the whole entire circle of speakers blew up high into the sky!

Dust flowing through the air around them. Mr. Corny shook the layer of dust off his back. He searched around for the girl to find her laying by a broken speaker. He galloped quickly to lay by her side. She awoken from the explosion.

“Why did you do that for? Those were my grandmothers.” Cried the young girl, making Mr. Corny feel ashamed and embarrassed. “My name is Andrea, I just wanted to sing you a song.” Poor little Andrea trudged along heading back to Candyland.

Mr. Corny felt extremely sorry. So he crept off... He caught back up to Andrea, he gave her a wink and a huge grin. He had found ear plugs to stop her ‘singing’ rattling his brain. She suddenly had the biggest smile that could light up a whole town. Andrea leaped like a frog up on to Mr. Corny’s fury dusty back. She sang her song of affection towards Mr.Corny once again, although this time Mr. Corny did not have a problem with her Tasmanian Devil voice. He loved her more than life.

For the past two years little Andrea started taking Ms. Suzy’s soulful singing classes. At first Andrea almost made Ms. Suzy deaf, Ms. Suzy then had a coffee and hay with Mr. Corny. He then exchanged the number of his guy that supplies him with his ear plugs. Andrea then became the best singer in the whole of

Measurement W6


This week in maths we have been doing measurement. We have been focusing on conversing states. We also learnt about length, distance and weight. Something that I enjoyed most was, getting to measure my desk and convert the measurements into centimeters, millimeters and meters.

Into The Woods and Into the Future


Into The Woods and Into the Future

Daisy has been missing for ten years now. Well to her parents she had been
She went missing the day of her tenth birthday.

Daisy had been playing outside with her older brother Carlos. They both frolicked in the long wavy green grass in the meadow, everything was perfect. To Daisy, a day with not a cloud in the sky meant that day was going to be a good day. But all of her happiness was about to make a bad turn.

Her and Carlos were playing hide and seek. Daisy ran away from her brother and came across two old steel doors in the grass, she unfastened the latch, dropped her self in the bunker, she jumped and caught on the handle and pulled it down.

She suddenly felt very cold, she could hear the wind blowing above the doors. She had been in the bunker for a few minutes now.
She opened the door back up and yelled.

“Carlos I’m over here!” She yelled out climbing out the doors. “I guess you’re not the hide and seek master after all!” Daisy looked around she was no longer in the green wavy grass of the meadow. She appeared to be in a dark forest. Daisy didn’t know what to do, she just freaked out! Screaming out for help she her saw a light at the end of the forest.

Daisy was scared she leaped out of the bunker and sprinted towards the light at the end of the forest. She gazed around just three story houses, factories and malls all around. Daisy didn’t have a clue what a mall was. No one did back in her time. Daisy strolled around the town everyone was looking at her, she felt weird. Everyone was wearing designer clothes with sparkles and large spikey shoulder pads. She stuck out like a sore thumb wearing her bright yellow frilly collar dress with flowers around it. Daisy didn’t realise…

SHE TIME TRAVELLED TEN YEARS AHEAD!!!

Daisy sat at the nearest bench she took a minute to take it all in. She could see in the distance a girl who looked vaguely familiar. She marched towards her and asked.

“Excuse me! What year am I in?” Daisy asked a girl walking by.

“Hi my name is Lily. Don’t you know?” She asked. “You’re in the year 2000”

Daisy didn’t know what to say how to react, she went into a state of, well everything. Screaming like something was possessing her, Lily helped her and took her back to her home to cool down.

Later on that afternoon Lily and Daisy got chatting, Daisy became comfortable around Lily and opened up to her of how she thinks she got to Lily’s world.

“Actually Daisy, I have to tell you something” Daisy was nervous she was worried about what she would say next. “I am also from the year 1990, and I know you, and you know me.” Daisy knew it from the minute she saw her. Lily was the girl that she used to play with when she was nine. Lily is a year older than her so Lily played with Daisy when she was ten.

Daisy would wake up early in the morning and run over to Lily's to play with her. One day when Daisy went over to play, but Lily’s house was empty her family had just got up and left. Daisy was never thought much about it, even though she lost her only best friend.

Daisy was so happy to finally see her friend again. After a long talk, argument, discussion fight, it turns out that Lily and Daisy’s family got to the two thousands the same way Daisy did. Well actually Lily arrived in the year 1999. Lily then told her story to Daisy.It all started a day when there was not a cloud in the sky…

Lily, her mum Rose and her dad Rob were going to the pools down the road. Lily tripped on two rock hard steel doors in the ground. Rob was a researcher of back in the olden days, he was keen to open those doors and look around. Rose was keen as well she laid her belongings on the ground and climbed into the bunker with Rob and Lily. All of a sudden the doors above them slammed shut! They all freaked out. Rob pushed the doors back open to discover that they were in a dark forest. Her family did not have an explanation for it, they just learnt how to survive in this new year.  

“Wow that’s an amazing story Lily!” Went on Daisy. Daisy then asked a tough question. “I know you started a new life here, but did you ever want to come back?”

“Of course… I thought about it… But I love the life here!” Lily shouted “There are so many amazing things here! Like this awesome show about crime, called CSI! These really cool electronics branded Apple!” Lily could have gone on forever!

Daisy loved the sound of that and straight away wanted to stay in Lily’s world, but knew that in another world, her parents were waiting for her. Daisy didn’t want to leave Lily, but then again she didn’t want her parents to go through so much grief. Then a she had a lightbulb!

“Well since we’re in the future, wouldn’t my parents be here?” Exclaimed Daisy.

“Awesome idea! We’ll search the web to see if they’re doing anything”
“What’s the web?” Asked a confused Daisy
“I’ll explain later!” Rushed.

After an hour of searching the web for Mr and Mrs Dylan. Until they found a couple that matched their profile… Wait a minute. JUST IN THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR! They ran next door ready to see what Daisy’s parents looked like in the future. Daisy was nervous even though she hadn’t seen them in a few hours, but for her parents in this year, they hadn’t seen her in 10 years. Not knowing what would have changed for her family in ten years.

She walked briskly up to the front door and gave the doorbell a light tap. Her lip quivered, the door opened slowly a her mum opened the door. Her mother Rosalina shot her a big smile. She flung the door opened and whisked Daisy off her feet. Tears streaming from both their eyes Rosalina had tears of joy. She knew that it was her daughter and it wasn’t like any of those movies when the kid comes back and is an alien. She just knew that her daughter was back in her life.

“DAISY”S HOME!” She screeched across the hallway to her husband Naldo (Daisy’s dad) Her dad looked unwell. He ran down the hallway and realized that his little girl has returned home after ten years.

“My baby you’ve returned!” Yelled Naldo. They all had tears streaming down their eyes. Screaming and shouting with joy. The only thing that shocked them was that, well, Daisy looked the exact same way she did the day she went missing.

“Where have you been? What happened were you taken?” Asked Rosalina. Daisy sat with them for hours. Just explaining the way she got ten years ahead. Naldo believed her one hundred percent.

“I’ve heard of cases like this in some of my researches. I’ve even heard of cases when people have travelled back in time.”

“That stuff doesn’t matter now, all that matters is that we have our lovely daughter back and she has to meet her baby brother and sister!” Exclaimed Rosalina. That’s right, not so long ago Rosalina and Naldo had twins. Although another question that was banging around her mind was.

“Mum, dad… Where’s Carlos?” As another tear ran down Rosalina’s eye and her head bowed down, Daisy’s legs turned into jelly. Daisy dropped to her knees, her and Carlos were extremely close and finding out that she lost her brother, was just mind blowing. Daisy didn’t want to find out what happened just yet. She just wanted to meet her new brother and sister.

The family was once again complete sure they didn’t have Carlos but at least they had their dear Daisy back. Rosalina and Naldo always had hope that one day their daughter would walk up to their door step and come back home. Their family was once again complete.

(The way that Carlos passed)

Carlos was out one night with his friends. They were speeding around the cliffs of Waterview Lake until, one of Carlos’ friends who didn’t have his licence got behind the wheel with Carlos in the car. He stomped his foot hard down on the gas, and went clean of the cliff deep down into the lake below. No one in the car survived. They got the car back and had a service in memory of Carlos and Daisy.
