😀Tech With Mr Grundy😀

At Tamaiki College we had Tech, I was with Mr Grundy or Sir. We were going to make a necklace, I was passionate to know how to make it. 

The best part is that I get to keep it for our selves or to give it to the person we made it for.  It was hard making it and tiring, too because I had to use four different sandpapers to make it nice and smooth. 

Finally, I am done with making it and I just need to work on my pewter workbook on my document. 

I am so proud of myself that I made it. It was a cross necklace that I created with the help of Mr Grundy.  

Cultural Groups

These past few weeks the seniors and I have been practicing our cultural dances for prize giving coming up very soon. There are Tongan, Samoan, Cook Island, and Maori dances, I am in the Tongan group. 

It is my first time dancing and I am getting the hang of it, but it is very difficult because you have to bend your legs, be graceful with your hands, and memorize the dance. 

Which I'm not good at doing.

Duffy Show

This week on Tuesday we had a Duffy Show. It was based on bullying, and how we should treat others the way we expect to be treated, and how reading can relax your mind when you're angry or being bullied. 


It also makes us realize that bullies can be everywhere you go like at school and at home. 

Armistice Day

This week it is going to be Armistice Day, it is on November 11th on Sunday. My group and I where searching and finding out new things that we didn't even know on our presentation. 

I talked and explain about  Where Did People Celebrate Armistice Day? and What happened On Armistice Day?

Manaiakalani Film Festival

 Today Ruapotaka School are going to the Manaiakalani Film Festival at Sylvia Park so we'll be able to watch the other schools' film and ours too.  The where rooms 12, 10, 9, 5 and 1 who did the films in school. 

I was so excited to go because there are going to be many films for us to watch.We'll also be able to sit back and relax, while watching. 

It was pleasure to be watching other schools films for example Pt England, Tamaki Primary, Tamaki College and many more.  I think my school's one was the best because it had a meaning to it. 

Tennis

Last week, we had Tennis with our coach  Pete. He taught us how to use the rackets when hitting the tennis ball. It wasn't that hard for some of our classmates because they all played it at morning tea. Others were good at controlling the rackets while others weren't good. 

My first  partner was Julianne for the warm up. Then Leanah was my partner  when we were playing tennis.

I really enjoyed and had fun playing with our classmates. 

Start Of Term 4

It's the start of Term 4. I was enthusiastic to be back at school and learn more and more things. 

When I came to school we had to focus really hard, especially for the year 8's who will be going to college next year. There will be tests that we will have attend because it will be much more harder when you're away.  

Hopefully, I'll do better than before.
