At Technocraft Today We Did

Today the year 7 and 8's went to Tamaki College for the first time in 2019. My group went to Mr Grundy's class. We're doing hard materials.

Mr Grundy was teaching us how to make wooden toys. Before we started making toys he handed out pieces of paper and pencils to all of us, then we were asked to draw our own designs. I  sketched a train and a box. For the box I designed a lid to open it for a secret compartment. 

Making Charity Box

On Wednesday, my class and I went to Tamaki College by bus. My group and I were making charity boxes. My charity box that I made was a 3D triangle. The equipment I had to use was sellotape, scissors, cardboard and art paper after that Mr Pineda told us to go onto a site called Toondoo. Toondoo is a site that you can make your own comedy and cartoon stuff.

Volleyball

Yesterday my class and I had volleyball with Coach Renee. We learnt all the things about volleyball.

We learnt how to spike, dig, underarm serve and overarm serve. The three activities we did were, boys against girls, elimination round and we also had a tournament. 

My team came second in the elimination round. When we played boys against girls, the girls team won because they had more players 

in their team.

Kahurangi

On Wednesday we had special visitors come to our school talking about the Maori Legends and they were funny and entertaining. The two hosting the show were Lucky and Tute and their group's name was Kahurangi. The part that I liked was when they were telling us how Lucky got married and then the cousins didn't believe them. My second favourite part is when the Maori lady tried to get onto the other side of the river. So then she tried to jump across the river but that idea did not work. Afterwards she then came up with another one which was to try to fly across the river.

On Monday Room 9 hosted their syndicate assemble. The song that we all sang was called Happy and Aotearo. The game that they hosted was played by Isabella, Kate, Sefo, Pupuke and Jacob, so we each had a turn and then each person would get three felt pens and, you would chuck it up then try and catch it with one hand,  then you would move on to 6 pens. Then if you complete that lot, you will have to try and catch nine. In the end Room nine had won. 

Asb Get Wise

Yesterday in Class this man from Asb came to out school and told us about how we could save or money when we grow up then we could save our money  for shopping clothes and other stuff then he did this thing where we all have to put our hands together with our thumbs on top of each other then he said who evers thumb is on top of the left thumb then they are not good with saving there money it was a trick that he did to our money. Because if we are not good at spending our money then. If we won't something we won't but we can't afford it then you could save up for that
