Statement	Do you agree or Disagree	Explain why you agree or disagree
There is no need for Fisheries officers, people should be able to get how ever much Kaimona they need.	Disagree	Because if there aren’t anyone looking out for people taking to much than the ocean would have no more kaimoana.
No one should be allowed to catch their own Kaimona. People should only be able to get them from the shops.	Disagree	Because if everyone just keeps on going to the shop to buy seafood than the shop would have no more and the people who get the stuff from the ocean to put in the shop would have to stop working because there will be no more Kaimoana if they just keep going back to the ocean and getting a lot more fish.

Movie Makers

Kids from Tamaki have the opportunity to create movies to show in the Film Festival at Sylvia Park Hoyts Cinemas, Xtreme Screen.

There are 12 of schools from Tamaki that have joined the Film Festival. That doesn't mean that there are that many films. In fact all the classes from each school submit movies and they are all shown on the extreme screen.

Kids have been asking why do they have a Film Festival. We have Mrs Burt, who is hosting the Manaiakalani Film Festival, from Pt England school to tell you why, “ We hold the Film Festival so that our children have the opportunity to see their work on the biggest screen in the southern hemisphere, We also have it because I want everyone to see how awesome and fabulous our kids are, I am very proud of our kids.”

What do people think about the film festival? Brooklyn’s here from Pt England School to tell you what she thinks about the Film Festival, “ I think it is really fun for all the kids to see what their movies are about and see what creativity they have.” Now lets talk to Lucy from the same school, “It’s cool because the kids can make their own movies with a little help from their teacher”

All the kids are excited for the next Film Festival which is next year. If you want to see previous movies, type this link in your computer and it will come up with all the movies that have shown on the screen, be warned there are a lot of movies. https://sites.google.com/a/ptengland.school.nz/film-festival-2011/home

Story Line Reflection

Last week year 5, 6, 7, 8 went down to the Vodafone event center to see 4 special authors. The names were   Juliette Mclver, Cath Mayo, Jill MacGregor, Paula Green. (You can click on the names to see the sites) My favourite author would have to be Paula green. I liked her because she is really good at rhyming (Sorry to the others) but she wasn't the only one, there was also Juliette Mclver who was my second favourite. I guess I like them because I am just interested in the beat and the rhyms.

If I were on the stage having to present what kinds of books I have and what I have been studding I would have froze or even forget what to say. I think I would have like to have more time to learn about them and understand why they were doing all of these things.

f one of the authors are reading this right know all I would want to say is thank you for giving up your time to share the things that you have been doing to us and it would be great if you left me a comment.
