Tech Reflection

Hello again people of the world and welcome back to another post on my blog! Today I'll be talking to you about how I've been doing at tech which, by the way, is really fun!

Since I'm a year 7 this was my first time at tech. The group I was in was sewing, which we just finished this week. During our lessons we learnt where things are around the classroom, how to thread our sewing machines, how to make small beanbags and our main project, a big bag with a little pocket at the front. The process of making our bags was; designing and drawing your own pocket, chose a fabric to sew it on, printed our own ideas onto a fabric, sew the two main pieces of fabric together, then add handles to it. It probably sounds really easy but there are lots of really small things you have to do to do it properly like' ironing something to make a crease and pinning lots of things together.

Sewing was probably the activity I was most excited of. I don't know why it's the thing I was most excited for but... yeah. (I was probably excited because it's pretty easy even though it's not. Yeah I know that it sounds confusing but that's the only way I can explain it.)

How I think I can make the most out of my lessons is staying focused  and follow instructions more instead of messing around a lot.

So that's about it for this post so I'll see you later!!

EOTC WEEK!

Hello People of the world and welcome to another post on my blog! Today I'll be talking to you about the fun I had with my friends during EOTC week.


I was expecting lots of challenging but fun things last week and there were few that were challenging and a few that were easy. One of the things I found hard was climbing Mt Kaukau because it was my first time to do it. Lots of people were surprised when they realized that I've never climbed up Mt Kaukau but everyone knew I could still do it well. When I reached the top I was really sad because I heard there was a really good view at the top but it was really cloudy. Luckily it was all good when everyone else reached the top as the clouds start blowing away and view was clear.

This is how to do art

Something I found easy was the drawing at Pataka. I know that I don't like art a lot but when I heard that the thing that we were drawing was supposed to look like a mess I was happy about what I drew even though others had better drawings.

My proudest moment was when I got to the top of Mt Kaukau because (like I've already said before) it was my first time and I felt really like I achieved something hard and I was also quicker than people who have already climbed it.


My Favourite moment was at the Police Museum when we were figuring out the painting mystery because it was really challenging and you had to think of it a lot.




Overall the whole week was fun and I had great time getting to know my friends better and trusting them more. And that's about it this week for my blog and I'll see you another time!

Light and Colour topic

Hello people of the world and welcome to my blog! This time I'm talking about our science topic "Light and Colour"

I like science in general but I'm not a try-hard at it. I've learnt a couple of things like how light can make something appear smaller or bigger, but I already knew things like the meaning of opaque, translucent and transparent. 

The science experiments we do at school are sometimes fun and sometimes boring. The ones that are fun are usually interesting but the ones that are boring usually means I already know about it. We've done lots of experiments but the ones that have helped me learn are the ones with the glass lenses. It's not like I didn't know that glass makes things look bigger and smaller it's because I didn't think why. 

So far I don't have any questions for the visiting scientist now (mostly because at the time of making this post our class hasn't talked about it) but I might think of some later. 

That's about it for this post but I'll see you later!!!!





FOR EPILEPSY SCROLL DOWN 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

Swimming lessons

Hello people and welcome back to my blog! This post is about the swimming lessons we have on Thursdays.

This year I don't think I've really improved on many things, it's more like going over things I've already learnt. I'm not much of a fan in swimming (mostly because I'm very bad at it) but I think it's good to have school lessons on it because it's an important life skill for people need to know to survive.

So that's about it for this post and I'll see you later!!!!!!!

TERM 1 2017!

Hello people of the world and welcome to my first post! This post is about how the beginning of the year has gone and about the transition from being a year 6 to becoming year 7.

Being in the Kauri syndicate is fun but challenging. On the fun side you play a lot of cool things such as; dodge ball, fitness on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and cooperating with friends. On the challenging side you have a lot of tasks and need to work a lot, as well as managing your time well but it's all worth it at the end as you play dodge ball. I have met new friends like T.J and Joshua and I've gotten to know more about the year 8's in my class. 

So that's about it for this post and I'll see you another time bye!!!!
