The Hunt for the WilderPeople film review

This is a film review for The hunt for the Wilderpeople. Firstly, this film was directed by one of the most infamous directors in New Zealand, Taika Waititi. He has worked with Marvel to make the movie Thor come to life. The movie has a great plot to it. There wasn't any time where I was confused about what's happening in the movie. The Hunt for the Wilderpeople was released on March 31, 2016. The Movie starred Julian Dennison as Ricky Baker, Sam Neill as Hec and Rima Te Wiata as Bella. 

The plot of the film is about a young boy being moved home from home because he is a foster child, he is also a very rebellious kid in the city that's why the social services decided to move him to the countryside with a couple, Bella and Hec. Bella ends up dying in the first 30 mins of the film, Ricky has to move to another family because there wasn't a motherly figure anymore but he didn't want to, resulting in him running away with Hec and causing an entire manhunt. By the end of the film he got to stay with a family he met along the way with Hec.

The emotions of the characters were carried out nicely, it was obvious what they were feeling because of how they act and not just their facial expression. I think the movie is good to watch with your family but be cautious because there is certain language that might not be suitable for a younger audience. I would give it a four out of five because the movie was great but not outstanding.

Anzac biscuits


 For our last cooking lesson this term we made Anzac biscuits, we were ten minutes early which doesn't always happen. There were small things that we didn't agree with but we still worked quite well. They were reasonably easy to make because there wasn't a lot of steps to follow and there weren't many ingredients. 

When it was baking in the oven it was a bit gooey and watery because we added too much water when the mixture was dry, that's why they make out quite flat and doesn't have much shape to it.  When the biscuits came out of the oven they smelt very sweet and coconutty. The edges are toasted and the texture was a little rough.

It was really easy to make that's why I recommend making some, I think it was slightly too sweet but they still tasted good, so overall we really like them.

ESOL Recount

today our teacher started to read without giving us any warning. She didn't tell us the title and what the novel is about. She gave us an option whether to continue ready or get on with our work but we chose to do our work.

It started off with him telling how his parents met. They met at the bakery where his Mum works. His Mum liked going to school but you can't say the same for his Dad. His name is Noah and he had 2 brothers and a Mum and Dad. His parents moved to Kenya, the went to Africa 5 times before they were born. Now they live In Sydney, Australia. 

I think the story is about him and his family living a perfect life in Australia but something bad might happen. He and his family could go back to Kenya or a family member might pass.#

SEXXXY paragraph three

This week our task was to create another paragraph because not all of us know how to make one and for those who know how to we can practice and get used to making a SEXXXY paragraph. This is different from our other one because we have to pick one out of two images to use as a topic for our paragraph. Here is the image that I picked and my paragraph. 

SEXXXY

This shot is a long shot because we can see what’s around them. We can see that it’s a long shot because we can the setting and not just their faces. The lighting gives off that it is dark and more of a serious scene. This is important because it’s when they are running away from the police and it gives them time to bond. The long shot and the lighting was paired nicely because if the lighting was really bright while their faces are serious it wouldn’t have looked as well as it could be if the lighting was darker. The scene was crafted to make it seem serious and they captured that really well by using the right techniques.
