Tech (Technology)

This whole year was so amazing because we did technology (tech). We take tech (technology) at Tamaki College. Tamaki College is a school/college in G.I (Glen Innes). It is the only college in our cluster.

The days my school goes to tech are Tuesdays and Thursdays. All the year 7’s from my school goes on Tuesdays and the year 8’s go on Thursdays.

The subjects at tech are Cooking, Graphics, and Hard Materials. The teachers for the subjects are Mrs Heka (Cooking), Mr Pineda (Graphics), and Mr Grundy (Hard Materials). All the subjects at tech are fun and cool because you get to make stuff in all 3 subjects.

My first subject at tech was Graphics, then Hard Materials and lucky last was COOKING! I saved the best for last because cooking is like my favourite home thing to do.

In Graphics, Mr Pineda taught us how to draw, how to be artistic, how to colour properly, and what lines are like and how to draw lines properly.

Hard Materials was pretty hard because we had to do a lot of adult stuff. In Hard Materials, we got to make aluminium stuff. The stuff was actually necklaces for somebody special. We had to saw, sandpaper, cut, measure and more. It was pretty hard but it was worth it because at the end we made a Taonga (Gift).

Cooking is so cool. Why? Because we got to COOK! What you do in cooking is cook, make mixture, and more. It is so fun because the teacher (Mrs Heka) is funny and chill.

My favourite subject at tech is Cooking because at cooking me and my friends (Keis), were her best and favourite students. Why? Because we do stuff that she doesn’t tell us to do, we sweep the floor better because we sweep the whole room plus the little rooms, we listen so much…

Tbh (To Be Honest), but I will miss doing Tech because i will miss the teachers and the fun stuff we get to do. I can’t wait until next year because we get to do it again. YAY!

Science Road Show

The Science Road Show

O.M.G (Oh My Gosh).... It was awesome at the Science Road Show!!! It had lots of fun projects to play with and there were some explosion things too.

What is a Science Road Show?? 

Well a Science Road Show is when you look at scientific things and projects. There are cool things and awesome things. In the Science Road Show, they tell you about things and they do explosive stuff. It is crazy cool. 

What did we do??

Once we got there, a man came and his name is Shane. He told us to come in the hall and sit down on the seats... (By the way, It happened at Tamaki College.) When we sat down, there were 2 presenters standing there. There names were Ted and Anna...

What were they talking about??
On the first show, they were talking about our body's, oxygen explosions and science stuff. Ted and Anna showed us what happens to our food when it is in our body and what it turns into when it comes out of our body.... They also told us about a plants life and how they grow and more.

Another thing they were talking about was how our muscles work and our heights. Afterwards, we started looking around, looking at the projects, how they made it and how it works. There was a quiz thing that some of us tried.... It was tasting the 5 different Honey's and guess which one it is. I got all of the Honey guess's right.

There is another activity that people were playing... It was the big piano that you can play with your feet and your hands. Meanwhile people were playing that, other people were stamping letters onto these plastic things and they were also playing with the other projects and things.

After looking at all the projects, we had to go and sit down. When we went to sit down, we saw another school.... It was Glen Taylor Intermediate. They were the school after us at the Science Road Show.

On the second show, they were talking about flame, air and that. They blew up 2 balloons. The first once was loud and you can feel the ground shake, and the second one was powerfully loud and you could feel the air hit you when it popped.
That was my favourite part of the Show!!!....

Sadly after all that awesome, crazy and mad stuff, we had to go back to school.

THE END
