The Last Day Of Tech

Wednesday, 28th of November was the last day of Tech. When we arrived I started on my box, but I had to wait for 30 minutes in order to let the glue dry. As soon as the glue dried the teacher brought out a box full of different colours to choose from. I chose dark blue. My box isn't any kind of box, it's different to other boxes just wait until you see it. 

At the moment "the necklace and the box" is currently with Mr Grundy being marked. I wanted to bring it back, but it wasn't checked or ready, so I couldn't.

Luckily, Mr Grundy said that he'd deliver it to Ruapotaka School after it's been checked and marked. 

Christmas Crossover

This week we've started Christmas Crossover. We were split into different groups. In each group there was a student from St Kents. When all the groups were sorted the St Kent students were given a room to go to, then we all went to our classes. In my group were some juniors and a bunch of seniors.

Our group had a chance to either colour or make something. Most of the group were colouring, but all the juniors were making something.

It was fun having Christmas Crossover, but I wonder if I'll have more fun in the other classes.

The Necklace And The Box

(I've made the cross for my aunty)

Today at Tech, I finished my necklace. My last step was to polish the necklace with some Brasso.

I started something new, something better, a box. It's not just any kind of box, it's a box to put my necklace in. I haven't finished yet, but I will be done by next week, Wednesday.

The Big Crash

Sophia Floersch, the German racer, had a horrible accident and is now going through surgery.

This accident occurred because she was going 280 kilometres an hour. While she was speeding down the road she crashed into the car in front of her, lifting the vehicle in the air and into a being-built building.

Here is a video.
 

The Duffy Play

On Tuesday there was a Duffy Play hosted by people from around New Zealand. The play was called "Duffy And The Cloak Bay Bully."

In the play Duffy is best friends with Ashley, but what he doesn't know is that she is a bully. He hasn't found out that she was a bully until he met Melony, a victim of Ashley's bullying. When he saw Ashley he confronted her for bullying Melony.

In the end the book Duffy lent Melony was offered to Ashley from Melony so she could read it and be calm. Duffy was aware of this and allowed it.

The End.

Armistice Day

On Tuesday Room 12 started started learning about Armistice Day and what it was commemorated for. My group and I created a slide presentation full of information about Armistice Day, if you don't know, it's on Sunday the 11th of November on the 11th hour.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

Today all the Rooms went by bus to the Sylvia Park cinemas. Every class created a movie which were all related to hooked onto learning. The Y8 students created a movie called "Journey To Success," and it was about where their grandparents were from and why they came to New Zealand.

There were more schools that also had awesome movies like Pt England, when the boys were told by Samantha that girls don't fart. The boys went off on the hunt for girls that would fart in order to prove Samantha wrong.
