The Rocks


There were huge rocks just standing there on the top of the hill. They were formed in a circle waiting as the sun arose. Mist creeped around the rocks. The sun was hidden behind some clouds, the rocks were tall and all were different shapes and sizes.

WILL.I.am


Today we had a secret visitor at assembly. The whole school lined up and headed to the hall. I wondered who was coming. Our class entered the hall and I saw two big signs on each side of the stage with a Hallenstein brothers logo and I.AM Angel logo on both signs. There was big camera Tripods standing stiff in a row at the back of the hall  I wondered what both sign had to do with the visitor and I couldn't come up with up with anything.

Then Mr Burt came up and told us Will.I.am was the visitor we were surprised.  We practised what we had to because he was running late. We practised our school song again then we heard he was coming. Heaps of heads turned around trying to find him then, Will.I.am walked in with the Pt England prefects and some men in black tuxedos. He sat down on some chairs next to some other guys he came with. Our school said a big welcome to Will.I.am

We had Patrick and Vivienne start it off with some prayers. Then the Kapa Haka performed then followed the senior Hip Hop group both performances were very cool. Then Mr Burt went up and started talking about things. We also had some students from eight other Manaiakalani schools come and represent their school. Pat Snedden also had a talk then he passed the microphone over to Will.I.am. Will.I.am gifted the Manaiakalni schools $100.000.

He started to talk about he was brought up. He was born and raised in housing projects in a poor neighbourhood. His mother raised his brothers sisters and him all by herself. He had a dream to help his mother and music has helped him with that dream. He said to pick the right friends which will help you out. He said friends are the reason why he is where he is. TV crews were filming everything. He said that the world is advancing and the children in inner cities are left behind and are not given the tools to even compete with the future we are walking into.   I think that Will.I.am is very generous man donating money to the Manaiakalni schools in Auckland.

Holidays


One day in the holidays me and my brother went to the movies. We watched The Croods, it was a pretty cool movie. My brother and I took a bus to Sylvia Park when we reached there we decided what movie we were going to watch and we decided to watch the Croods. I wanted to watch Iron Man 3 but he wanted to watch The Croods so I just went with him. We had 20 dollars each to buy something to eat. We headed to the food courts he went straight to McDonald but I didn't feel hungry. My brother ended buying sushi.

We went to the movies to see when the Croods was coming on, lucky for us it was scheduled to play in 20 minutes we bought some drinks and we went to the game area for a little while. My brother spent the rest of his money there.

I checked the time and it was nearly time for the movie to screen. I told my brother and we straight to the counter and gave our tickets to the man and he told it was cinema 4. We went and entered the theatre he sat down on a random seat and I told him we should go to our seats just in case we were in someone elses seat. Then a few minutes later some people came and told us that this was their seat so we went to our proper seats.

The lights dimmed then the usual ads started after that the lights turned of. Then the movie began. Then the movie finished, we left the theatre and I went outside and left. I reckon the Croods is a cool movie and also pretty funny.
