Today My Life Begins by Phontain

I recommend "Today My Life Begins" by Room13 from Pt England School, because I think it was very cool the way they sang today my life begins and they were dancing to the beat. It was interesting how they did a drawing about the song when they sang 'I will break these chain to bind me'. It was also funny how they wear wigs and dance.

Busted by Frankie

 I recommend this video as it is a good lesson. If you keep lying to someone they will eventually find you out. They don't want to trust you any more and when it comes to the time when it really matters they won't believe you. The story was told in an entertaining way with lots of humour and the actor playing the mother was a star.

'School is Cool' by Tricia

I recommend "School Is Cool" by Room 7 from Tamaki Primary because it was really great that they added songs to explain how school is cool. The song choices were very suitable to show that school is cool. They were very clear about what they wanted the movie to be. They all said their lines clearly and everyone understood what they are saying. They sang the song beautifully and they all knew the lyrics and sang in key.

You should definitively watch this movie.

Today My Life Begins, Room13 Pt England

I like this movie because it has a nice beat to it and it's funny! It's really catchy and it made me feel more confident about myself, in who I am and reminds me to not be afraid of who I am around others.
I like the lyrics that they used in the movie, 'I will break these chains that bind me' and 'Leave the past behind me'. I love these two lyrics the most because it means a lot.
I hope you watch the movie and enjoy!

Something New by Angelina

Today I will be telling you about a video called, 'Today my Life Begins' by Pt England Room13. I think that the boys did a really great job. I am sure that Pt England are really proud of them.What I like about this video is that it feels like they are bringing the past back. I know I always feel sad and then  happiness comes  back to me.When I first saw the video I realised that the song was by  Bruno Mars. He is so cool and he inspires me a lot with his song. They chose the right song  because it suited the movie.I think the actors were really great and I hope they make more movies next year

"Don't Lie" by David

I would like to recommend 'Busted' from Tamaki Primary because it is very funny. This is a clip about a boy that is dishonest and likes to lie to his mother. He uses his lunch money to buy lollies and then he lies to the teacher. Later on the mother finds out from the principal that he has been buying  lollies. This movie teaches us an important lesson about not lying and you will learn a lot from it if you watch it.

School Direction by Tevita

I recommend 'Azonto' by Tamaki College.

I think Azonto is really catchy because it is a cool background song. All of the dancers looked like professionals. While they were dancing all of them looked really enthusiastic. The purpose for this short video was to inspire people to dance more and it was to entertain people. All of the songs, places and dancers were wisely chosen by the film maker.

Something in the Water by Vitor

I recommend "Something In The Water" by the St Patrick's Year 7/8 classes. I loved the concept of the movie and the story line.

It has great humour and an interesting storyline which was very cool. The acting from the kids looked like it belonged in the big screen. Their costume was good made sense, like the swim teacher wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Everybody spoke with confidence which was really good. My rating 5/5. : )

'When I Grow Up' by Gabby

'When I grow up', a clip made by Tamaki Primary School was featured in the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

When I grow up' features a kid who wonders about his future after his teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up.

This clip have a variety of songs including:  Party Rock Anthem, Lmfao,  T- Pain, Turn all the lights off, Black or White, Michael Jackson, Lazy Song , Bruno Mars and more. The songs only  do not entertain but also fit in perfectly with its topic.

I also like this clip because most kids also go through the same thing wondering if they should join the army or be a hairdresser. It is very mind capturing to see kids like me pulling off awesome clips and could possibly have a future in acting.

I highly recommend this clip as past experiences on wondering what I wanted to 'When I Grow Up'

Have you ever wondered about your future? By Nikki

I recommend "When I grow up" by Room 4 from Tamaki Primary. I like this, because the boy dreams of what he wanted to become and it was really interesting. I liked the music and how they were dancing to it and it was really entertaining. You should definitely watch this movie.

A bit of a journey through Tamaki and time by Manase

The movie makers  take us on a  bit of a journey through Tamaki and time.We see local people dancing  at schools and at different places you might know. The music has a really good beat and is pumping. I liked  the song, because it was a good choice by the film makers.

Why School is Important by Yom

I would like to share this video "School is Cool" by Room 7 with everyone because it tells younger people that school is a good place to learn new things and build up your vocabulary. This video shows all the cool learning they do at school . The whole class, even the teacher, sang a song and finally  the boy who thought school was boring was persuaded to like school more.

Watch this and learn something
