Stardome Observatory

Today, the senior students of Glenbrae School got to go on a school trip to the Stardome Observatory. What we had to do first was sit down outside of the Observatory and have a 10 minute snack time. I sat down with a group of friends and my mum, she also came along on the trip.  Room 7 and Room 8 went inside of Stardome first while room 9 and 10 stayed outside until we were done. We went inside and saw all of the exhibits and presentations. Room 7 went inside of a room called the 'Space Room,'. Inside of the Space Room, there was a lady waiting in there for us, I forgot her name but she told us a lot of information.  We learned a lot about how the Solar System works, how the sun was formed and a lot more. I also learned that Venus is hotter than Mercury, even though Mercury is closer to the sun! After we had learned about the Solar System in the Space Room we went outside to the Room with all of the exhibits and got to look at everything and read a lot of facts. When we finished looking around, we got to go into another room but it was a different room. We all lined up and went into the room. There were a lot of seats and when I looked up there was a hole in the roof, but it wasn't really a hole, it was where we were going to watch the movie on. I went to the back and sat down, the seats are leaned back so that you can look into the sealing to watch the movie. We all took a seat while the show started. The lady told us some things about what we are going to watch. We all looked up as the movie started. The movie started with two children, one older sister and one smaller brother, the older sister was working on a project about the seasons and the little brother was playing with his toy robot. He bumped his robot into her project and crazy weathers and seasons were going on in her room, but most of it was just imagination. All of a sudden, her brother went to go get his toy space ship to go for an adventure into space to see how the seasons work. The trip to space was just using their imagination, but as they went into space they could see how the seasons work and she learned all about the Earth's axis. When they tried to go back home, they accidentally landed in Antarctica! They looked very cold, eventually they ended up getting home. When they did, she started to fix up her project and get it done. After that session we went outside while the other classes went inside for their turn. We had our lunch and play time. The classes were done, then finally it was time to go. I was very tired, so I fell asleep on my friends shoulder.

Going to the movies

It was a bright sunny Saturday afternoon. My friend and I had gone to watch a movie called Born to dance. It is an awesome movie about dancing.

It was a sunny afternoon and I got dropped off to my friends house, her name is Annalise. When we got there, we hopped in the car with her parents and they dropped us off to Sylvia Park. When we got to Sylvia Park, we went to the cinemas and booked our tickets for Born to dance. When we had finished booking our tickets, we went to pak'nsave to get some snacks to eat during the movie.

We walked back to the cinemas and waited for the movie to start. While we were waiting we played in the arcade, the game we played was Air Hockey. What we have to do is put a $2 coin in the machine and air comes out of the little holes in the table. When the air comes out of the table, we get given this disk and two handles. What we do with it is try to get it in the goal, but try to protect our own. I won the game, the score was 4-3.

The game had ended so we walked back to the waiting area and we could see our line forming. We went to our line to give our tickets so we could watch the movie. We got our snacks and made our way to cinema 4. The seats we had were all the way at the back so we went there, sat and waited for the movie to begin.

A few adds played then, finally, the movie started. We had enjoyed the whole movie, but we didn’t finish our snacks. When the movie finished, we came out of the cinema and went to the train station. Annalise took the stairs while I went on the elevator. I met her at the place where we get the tickets. I booked my train ticket and she booked hers, all we had to do was wait for the train afterwards.

When the train had got to where we needed to go, we needed to walk home. We walked to her house and waited for her dad to get home. When he got home, he dropped me off at my house.

I was very happy that I had finally watched Born to dance. I had waited for quite a while to watch it. I had a lot of fun too.

Pixels!

Yesterday, I went to the movies to watch a movie with a few friends, the name of the movie we watched is called Pixels.

First, me and my friends went to the supermarket to get a few snacks that we could eat during the movie. As we walked back to the cinemas' we waited for the movie to start. While we were waiting, we played in the arcade. I played a racing game and I versed one of my friends. When we had finished the face, I came 2nd, but it was worth the try.

When there was a huge queue and my friends and I had to line up and give our tickets one by one. As we rushed to find our seats, we all sat down and waited for the movie to start.

When the movie started and the lights turned off, I could already feel excited. The movie started and it was a very long movie that we had watched.

The movie was about the video games that used to be played in an arcade years ago (Donkey Kong, Pac Man and other) taking over the world and trying to destroy earth. Years ago, there was this boy that was the best video game player in the world.

The video games tried to destroy earth, but the Army people had made guns which could destroy all the pixels, the heroes used all the guns that were made. But if they wanted to destroy all of them, then had to float into the floating ship which was creating all the pixels.

When they got into the ship they had to complete this one task which was Donkey Kong. There was this one women that he liked, and her son was on the other side of Donkey Kong and he had to complete the game to save him.

This game was very challenging towards him because he wasn't very good at playing Donkey Kong, but he knew that he had to save the boy.

After he had destroyed Donkey Kong, he ran to get the boy and got out of the ship. When we had got back down to earth, all of the pixels flew back into the ship and went away.

It was a very interesting and entertaining movie. I felt very happy that I had watched that movie and that is my favourite movie.
