A Snake Mistaken For A Loom Band.

Summary:

Two waste removal men were putting a sofa into their van in Aberdeen, Scotland. The snake had slithered between the cushions. The two men thought he was just a loom band until he started moving. Mac the snake will be taken by rescue officers if his owner doesn't collect him.

Opinion:

I think this would be pretty scary if I found a snake in a sofa. I don’t think that I would think that the snake would be a loom band. I think that all the waste collectors should check the furniture before they put it in their van for safety reasons or they might even find someone's long lost treasure!

Fairy Tales Houses.

Summary

If you like fairy tales and watching Disney movies then you will love these houses. The cool looking houses are nearly as exact as the locations in the Disney movies. The first house was made in Germany.

Opinion

I think that these people are crazy because they would have to spend lots of money on their houses. I do like the idea of Disney inspired houses around the world. I think they should show off their houses and put them on display to the public.

Another Great Victory For The Kiwis

Opinion:

I think that this is great news that the kiwis have won another game. I think that their last game will be a great one too.

Moa Bones Being Sold In New Zealand.

Summary:

People have been selling bones on trade me. There have only been one or two moa bones sold but the New Zealand government are trying to stop this. You are allowed to sell bones but if they belong to the Department of Conservation Land then they aren't allowed to sell them.

Opinion

I think that whoever found these bones should sell them to the New Zealand museum so they can be displayed. I think that they will get a lot of money. Or they could just give them away.

Stonefields Film

SUMMARY:

My favourite Manaiakalani Film was created by kids at stonefields.  The video was called Kids React To..The film was about how some kids reacted to a bamboo stick. The producers asked the four kids questions about a bamboo stick then the kids answered them. One of them thought that it was awesome how teachers used to hit kids with bamboo sticks? Near the end of the film the kids were told to hit one of the producers how they thought teachers used to hit the kids back in the days.

OPINION:

I really liked the reactions of the kids when they got told what the bamboo stick was really used for. I thought that they had really good acting skills as well. I liked it when they were asked ‘what they thought it was used for. One kid thought it was a walking stick for an old man. It was very funny at the end because they started to hit people to see how they thought teachers whacked the students. This movie was my favourite movie out of the 100+ films from the Manaiakalani Film Festival.
