Tech- Metal work

Today at tech was great. The year 8B were finishing off filing their designs, Yr 7's were doing woodwork with Mr Grundy and The yr 8A were doing Graphics/Art with Miss Ferguson. We hoped that will all learnt something from today. At Tech I was finishing off my handle. What I did was I filled the sides and edges to make it smooth. 

Kiwi Sport

In the first block, We had 15 minutes of read theory, This was a great time to work on answering the questions and looking back at the text. The first text that I read was More than just trash. It was an interesting story to read. This story was about how to make Items out of trash and all of these ingredients can be found in your house. This was based on making stuff out of cardboard. The most interesting part out of this article was how to make a Basket ball hoop from Cardboard. I really enjoyed reading this text, Something that I need to work on is reading the text carefully so that I can find the answer to the questions.

Metal work Tech

Today in Tech the year 8's were filing there designs at Metal work. What we  did was we filed the edges and sides to make it flat. The year 7's were creating there designs and year 8A were learning the basics of art. Everyone worked very hard to get there bottom piece done before doing the final design for this assessment. Many of us had to catch up with our filing piece. Everyone was actively listening to Mr Nika.

Thank you Mr Nika for helping us.

Kiwi Sport- Ki o Rahi

In Kiwi Sport today we played Ki o Rahi and traditional game with obstacles that we have to compete against. Today teams that played were ki o ma and Taniwha. In our obstacle course there were 7 pou poles, 10 pink cones representing the lake/ Te roto the green cones are the remote island and the obstacle in the middle of the cones is the key. In this game we have to try and get the other team out by labeling ourselves/ Ki o ma and Taniwha. One group has to surround the cons while the others run around the pou poles this game was a bit like golden child.

Thanks to Shanice
