Christopher Columbus.

In the 1400s Christopher Columbus sailed west to get to India. Columbus asked all the Kings of Europe if he could have a crew, money and a boat to travel around the world to India. He called the people in the west Indians because he thought he had reached India, but he hadn't, he had reached South America. Christopher Columbus was the first european to sail across to the Americas and return back to Europe.

Sailing on the Ted Ashby

It was a windy day, a cold and gale force wind was biting my warm face on the Ted Ashby. When we were on the sail boat we went towards the Harbour bridge with the wind blowing against our clothes. The wind moved the boom left to right. The icy wind was blowing heavily and strongly.

Pulling and heaving with all my might the sails were slowly going up. I struggled as I heaved, pulling the sheet fast with the wind blowing on the sails. I was wondering if the sailors thought it was a hard job, because for me it was.

Warriors vs Tigers

The Tigers kicked off and the warriors chased the ball. They caught the ball in the air and bumped people off. The reff called 1! The Warriors played the ball and Steve Price chipped it to Vatuvei, he dove for the line - It was a try! The crowd went wild and jumped up and down.

Warriors kicked off and Kevin Locke jumped up, caught the ball and stepped Bengi Marshall but Locke got tackled after he had side stepped. The ball was played and got passed to our prop. He took the run and nearly got through the Tigers ruck. The ball was played again and passed it out to the wingers, but they got driven back and lost the ball. Kevin Locke picked it up and got the best runaway try ever. The Ref blew the whistle and it was full time.

He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata

We made this movie as part of a competition for the Auckland Museum. Lots of schools from all over Auckland entered the competition. We were delighted to find out that we had made the finals. We got to go to the awards ceremony at the museum too. Keisha Castle-Hughes even gave out the prizes!

The idea of our movie is that even though technology has changed throughout the years, people are still the most important thing in our lives.

All of us enjoyed making the movie. We were so excited to find out that we had won the most Creative Storytelling category. We think our movie is just AWESOME - What do you think?
