3D Oblique Sketching

Today was our second session of Technology with Miss Ferguson doing Graphics.

We learnt how to draw 3D squares, triangles and cylinders. Some of us already knew how to draw 3D shapes.

We also learnt some new words like parallel, tone and oblique. I learnt that parallel means two lines that are the same distance apart.

A skill I learnt while at tech was drawing straight lines but, as you can see I'm still getting there. I also mastered drawing tones. Tones are when you draw lightly, a bit darker, and then straight dark.

As you can see in the photo above, I have drawn a goldish coloured cube that has a sort of white yellow line in the middle.

Hosting The School Assembly

Yesterday we had our first school wide assembly of 2019 hosted by students, Leanah, Jessica, Tristan and I. We were the chosen ones but only because our teacher knew that we were not shy.

After singing the national anthem, we sang our version of the New Zealand National Anthem we made during our inquiry research. After that, the adults said their notices. Mrs Hamilton was talking about how we are going to have a sausage sizzle on Friday. The other teachers were talking about sports equipment being broken and how a student was using his initiative and brought a child back to school when this parents weren't home.

I was a little bit nervous, but when we were singing the nerves went away.

The First Day Back At Technicraft

Today was the first session of Technicraft of 2019.

Before leaving the school grounds, our teacher sorted us into groups that we were in last year. There were new year 7 students that were sorted into different groups. When the groups were ready we waited until the time was quarter to eleven to leave.

When we arrived at Tamaki College we had to wait for the teachers to take us to their classes. The teacher we were with was Miss Ferguson and she was the graphics teacher. In her class we did 2D drawing, like squares and triangles, then we had to insert our names and emails into Miss Ferguson's slide sheet.

Me! - Technology Lesson 1

Today we created a google drawing and added things we liked e.g., movies, characters. I put a bunch of things on my google drawing such as my favourite characters, cars, food and etc.
