Technology

Last week on Wednesday, the year 7&8’s went to Morewa School to do technology. The year 7’s did woodwork with Mr E. He told us all about the tools and super tools. We also had to do a test about what the tool’s names were and what they do. When we got into it we only practice on a little bit of wood. Rikki, Dalton and I were trying to make a Maui hook and whack each other with it. Then the bell rang . Fonz-o and I went to go get something to eat at the tuck shop. When we went to play there was this little crazy boy that was running around. When we went back to the class we carried on with our project. After a bit we had to clean up and get ready to go and then we went on the bus back to school.  

catapult's

In Te Ngahere last week we made marshmallow catapults. Our goal was to make a catapults out of marshmallows, skewers and tape. We also had to make sure it would shoot marshmallows, Fonz-o and I made a man car that could shoot a marshmallow 3.2 m. I really like doing this because we got to eat some of the marshmallows, I really hope we do something like this again.

Kindness

Yesterday in Te Ngahere we were learning about kindness. Before lunch our teacher, Whaea Chrissy, gave us a challenge. The challenge was to count how many people would smile and wave back, when we smiled and waved to them. I worked with my friend Fonz-o. Fonz-o and myself made over a hundred people feel happy and safe. We also helped two kids in the playground who had hurt themselves. This activity made me very happy and feel good about myself. I really hope we do something like this again.
