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!
