Manaiakalani Film Festival Script

Zaria💗✨
Dear future Parliament,

Firstly to start this off on behalf of everyone, I would like to say thank you for all your hard work and everything you’re doing for our education and our furniture but there are some things us kids are unsure and concerned about, this is because we feel our voices aren’t really being heard and us children have questions and we’re reaching out in hope for answers. And as our prime minister it’s your responsibility to listen to our voices yet only kids at the age of 18 or over can vote, but what about us: 10-17 year olds. Because anything you do as our new leader will affect us growing up and our future. And not only us but the new generation and the one after that. As children a lot of times we are just misunderstood and our voices are covered, and we demand we are heard. I think that they should at least consider our opinions and hear our voices, because this affects us and the next generation more than our parents or grandparents. Just because our voices are small doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be heard. And I’m not trying to be rude but it’s something that should be taken under consideration.

Dear future leaders,

On behalf of everyone, Thank you for the amazing things you have done for us. We appreciate it, but there are some issues that are not being spoken of as much as they should. Our next generations are not looking good with all these horrible things that are happening to our planet, Climate change, global warming, like the fires in Hawaii, and the bushfires in Australia that happened a couple of years ago. animals going extinct, deadly diseases, pollution…! And somebody needs to be a voice for our future generations since they don’t yet have a voice and cannot be heard. We cannot be heard because we cannot vote in elections as we have to be 18 or older. And we know this might be for the best but you should still consider our ideas and opinions as it will affect us more in the future than you grown ups. Talking about earth… Our planet might not stay in a healthy living environment for long, the air is getting humid, and deadly diseases are becoming more popular, Covid 19 is just one example for these diseases. our leaders are the people who have the biggest say on these issues but are still the ones who make the little mistakes that have the big outcomes. Don’t get us wrong, we love what you do and all the time and effort you put into your job to make New Zealand a better place. But please think about the voices who cannot be heard before you make decisions.

Dear Government,

Thank you for all the hard work you do to educate us and for our future, but as a student and child growing up in this generation, I have some questions: Why is everything super super expensive? On behalf of us Kids, I would just like to talk about how important education is to all ages of people, that means from babies to the elderly. First I would just like to give you some suggestions, In my opinion School taxes should be lower so that families who aren’t doing well for their kids can afford it, also uniform Stationary should be provided at school only and should be sold for $10 or $20 dollars at least, Government, all im asking you to do is make school taxes and everything else cheap, I mean look at all the poor children struggling to learn

Dear Government,

On behalf of the children from this Generation, I would like to say thank you for what you have done. Now I’m not trying to blame anyone but I blame you! You are Making people feel bad because some of them can not afford things these days. Gas prices and food prices are going up and it is driving people crazy. Parents having to work extra hours for the bare minimum all to do what? Feed their children and make sure that they are okay. Now I’m not trying to say anything but I am just trying to prove a point! All of our lives are in your hands. You are the future leaders and you need to be making the right descion for not only us children but our families. Life is getting harder.

 

Task description: This week during Extension, we were working on our Manaiakalani film festival script because next term we are going to watch our films of the big screen at Sylvia Park. In my group it was me, Hailey, Kensi, Victoria and we were all working on one doc but we all wrote different paragraphs on one point we were trying to make. I talked about how our voices weren’t being heard and how we should have a say in the election. This script is all about the problems and issues that the future government should be concerned about which is coming from 11-13 year olds. As a group we talked about a lot of different things going on in society nowadays and to be honest even at school lately. The next thing were gonna work on is the lay out of our script.

KPMG is one of the four largest audit and accounting firms in the world along with Deloitte, EY and PwC. These firms are known collectively as the Big Four and reported a combined worldwide revenue of over 157 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. We learned about healthly eating and did some work sheets on it. But this trip to KPMG was a little different cause this time they had worked toegther with “Synergy Health”. They also sent us pedometers to see how much we walk in a day and I would love to thank them for that. Synergy Health help organisations improve the lives of people. They see that every organisation, person and business is unique and special in there own way and want to allow people to live well in a way that’s right for them.

The KPMG workers had been nice enough to offer our school a trip to the KPMG building. We spent a whole day with them and got a tour of the building and each of the levels of the block. As we learnt about matter and the three states of matter, we did different science experiments, such as growing crystals and making slime to show chemical changes and physical changes.

 

We learnt how there are three states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Which have different properties, thus can be explained by looking at the arrangement of their particles. This is the theoretical temperature at which particles have the least amount of energy and the slowest movement.

 

They had even worked hard to put together morning tea and lunch for us and we appreciated that very much. We loved our time there and hope to go back there soon and learn a bunch of new things with the amazing KPMG crew. The KPMG members got to volunteer to spend the day with us and so many of them did.
