Space Probe Runs Out Of Battery

Summary:

Remember the probe that landed on a distant comet recently? Well it has run out of battery power.

The Philae lander sent data back to earth but it run out of battery power and went to standby mode. It lost power because of the lack of light. It is pressed up against a cliff covered in shadows so it can not get enough light on it’s solar panels to recharge.  Researchers hope that the probe can recharge soon and continue it’s work on the comet.

Opinion:

I think that this must be frustrating for the researchers and I also hope that it can continue with its work. It would be cool if the probe recharges and sent more data back to earth.

Favourite Film From The Manaiakalani Film Festival

Summary:

My favourite movie from the Manaiakalani film festival was from Stonefield School and it was called I am waiting. I am waiting was based around people getting bullied. Her aspect was to speak for those who could not speak for themselves and to empower others to find their voice and speak out against bullying.

Opinion:

I really enjoyed watching all of the movies but this one was my favourite because it was talking about bullying and encouraging people to stand up for themselves. I really liked her poem and I think it was very well written.
