Tamaki Collage Working With Mr Grundy Technology!

For Technology the year 7 are in Mr Grundy's workshop and the year 8's have to go to the Kitchen because they are cooking. At Mr Grundy's workshop he was showing us his cool creations and telling us how he made them. He said that if we come out with a great creation that hes never seen he will give us high marks! When he was showing us his creations he was telling us that you have to always have to use housing joints so you can connect your  wood to the part of the creation that you just made. We are going to learn how to craft the creations that Mr Grundy made. or even craft our own creations.

Game Masters

3/3/17

Today this morning Me, Room 11 went to room 12 for the game theatre. When we got there we sat down waiting for the game master. When they got here they told us about this new game. They never told us the name. When they started to teach us the game they were acting. The names of the characters for the games are T the son,  Dave the dad, Maria the mum, Jack T's friend,Bryan Maria's boyfriend and Rebecca Bryan's daughter. When they acted we had to swipe on our hands for the game to start. After the game they gave us a badge and taught us a new hand shake. It was fun!

The Power Cut!

There was a power cut in the weekend but my TV, plugs and games were turned off. My nana said she herd a loud explosion sound when she was reading her bible. When we were waiting for the power to turn back on, I went over my neighbors house and ask them if there power was off, But Suddenly they "said no". They said "They were cleaning before it get night". Just as it was getting darker the power came back on, and then I felt safe but I wondered what had happened to the power.

Our Digital Art

Last week we had to make Tekoteko. First we had to draw a Tekoteko on a paper and when we finish we have to use a bigger one and color it in when we finish drawing it on the big paper.

When we finished our TekoTeko we have to do the same on  sumo-paint, on our Chromebook. It was fun we had to draw the body parts.
And That's How You Make A TekoTeko.

Duffy And Global girl

A week ago we went to assembly to watch the Duffy theater. When we sat down they asked us about if we know the Duffy song and we said yes so we sang then they got ready to act. It was fun they showed us how reading is cool and they were funny too  when they got near the end of the show. I really enjoyed the Duffy show. They showed me how reading is fun!
