My Last Day in Room 17 : (

This morning I woke up early to get ready for another busy day of school. As I was brushing my teeth I realised that I had finished teaching a Pt. England School last week! Miss Ouano is back to being Kimberley Ouano for a while!

Room 17, Miss Garden and I had a shared lunch on Friday for my last day in room 17. I had been cooking all afternoon and all night on thursday to prepare for the shared lunch. Before we ate Makerita said a beautiful karakia to bless our wonderful food. We had pizza, sausage rolls, fish fingers, popcorn and cupcakes. Looking at the photos it looks like everyone enjoyed it!

I will miss teaching Room 17, I have had a lot of laughs and fun! However, I will still be around Pt. England, so it is not the last you have seen of me!

Oktapodi Movie Reviews and Creative Writing

Room 17 have been writing movie reviews and creative writing for the short film Oktapodi. The movie was produced by a French univeristy student.
Here is an example of Room 17's amazing reviews:

Oktapodi Movie Review
The movie we watched in order for us to do our writing, was called Oktapodi. The movie was set in a small Greek village, where two octopus were in love. As you would know it would be a female and a male. The main action in the film, is I would think, fighting for their soul mates.

I think that the moral of the story was to never interfere with a strong relationship. I would recommend this movie to people who are madly in love. It can help them to pick up their feet, and help each other if they are in need of help. 

Students were also given the task to write the sequel to Oktapodi. Here is an example of their very creative work:

Oktapodi Part 2 

Oktapodi is a short animation that you can watch on youtube. This is the second and third scene for oktapodi.

Pinky, (that’s what I named the pink octopus) shoots from the the slingshot over the seagull. She notices that she has got too much strength while she was flying. So she turned around and splattered ink into the seagulls face and lands into a pond. The seagull drops Orangey, (the orange octopus) and he lands onto the dangerous road. Pinky cries but...

She doesn't give up. Trying to reach out when...The chef grabbed Pinky and takes off. Stuck out in the open, Orangey climbs onto the nearest car and tries to catch up with the chef. The chef stops at his restaurant and goes into the kitchen. Orangey jumps off his ride and goes into the kitchen. Strapped up, Pinky sees Orangey and tries to get out, but she can’t. Orangey gets a knife and cuts the straps. They jump out the window and into the reef and live Happily Ever After.

I Hope you have enjoyed reading room 17's amazing writing! If you would like to watch this short film click here!
