Term 2 highlights

My Term 2 highlight was the Tamaki Science Road Show. What I liked about the Tamaki Science Road Show is that we got to go and see experiments that were on the tables. The one that most people went to was the one that people had to lift up the pole that was attached to a bowling ball. You had to let it go and it will go up a tube that had a little ball. It would go on the ground or some one must of caught it. I think that I learnt so much things when I was at the Tamaki Science Road Show.

The other thing that I liked was Taoga Time. My teachers name is Ms Va’afusuaga. When it’s raining we have to go in the green room with our netbooks and we have to go on rugger land. It is a rugby game but it also has maths games on it, that is why I like going on rugger land. The game that I like to go on is rugger maths. You have to register before you go on.

Tamaki Tech

I enjoy going to Wood work (hard materials) because it is fun. We go to Tamaki college so we can learn good skills from the class that we are in.
We go with the year 8s and the year7s to Tamaki College. It is fun when we are in our classes that we were put in.

The class that I am in at Tamaki College is wood tech and the teacher’s name is Mr Grundy. The thing that I made was a chair. It can not have sharp edges on the chair. That is why we use the sandpaper to smoothen the edges so that you can give it to your little sister or brother to play with.

I am looking forward to bringing it home and I am glad to have made a chair but I was also going to make a pool table as well.

Tamaki Science Roadshow

On Thursday Room 18,19,21 went to Tamaki College for the Science road show. When we got there we had to sit down. When we all sat down in the hall we saw other school in there. We had to wait before we went in to our groups that we were put in.

After you had done that you had to go to a teacher and get a clip on the card. Our group looked at all the experiments that were on the tables. The one that most people went to was the one that people had to lift up the pole that was attached to a bowling ball.

We had a great time at our Tamaki Science Road Show that we went to. We had a good day when we went to Tamaki college.

Cellphones


CellphonesCellphones weren't out when our teacher was young back in the days. After about 15 years ago phones were out but you had to carry it around with you. But now you can put it in your pocket. There are heaps types of phones that are now in the world. What people use phones for are texts, music, Youtube, Internet, Bebo, games, alarm, Calling, and recording. There are groups of people who have cellphones like adults, workers and some young people.

Immersion Rotation

This term we have been doing immersion about ‘Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Its our topic for the term. We all have 5 immersion classes that we have to do. We have just 2 more to do and we have done 3 for now.

The first immersion station that we did as a class was imagination with our teacher. What we had to do is that we got in groups and sat around a table and had a piece of paper on our table. Each piece of paper had a question about imagination and what it means.We had to brainstorm our ideas. Then we had to make an imaginary pet. We could do what we liked with our imaginary pet and we had to give him or her a name. My pet was called King Boy.

The other Immersion that we also went to was with Ms Tito. We had to create our own name in what ever writing that we know how to do. What I did to create my name was with bubble worm writing. I did my name like that because I thought that it was a good idea to do it that way. Our class was not allowed to copy what her class did to create their names.


Room 21 went to Mr Barks for our next immersion. What we were learning with him was practicality. What Mr Barks had in his hand was a leaf blower in his hand. He turned it on and blew it at us. It smelt like petrol.
Immersion was cool. I learnt heaps of things. It was a good experience.

David Tua


David Tua was born on the 21st of November. The 38 year old Samoan professional boxer is also known as Tuaman and the Tuamanator. He represented New Zealand in the 1992 Summer Olympics and won bronze. David Tua is well-known for his has a devastating left hook and for his ability to end fights early. In 2003 Tua was named the 48th greatest puncher of all times by Ring Magazine. Tua trained hard to achieve success in boxing. In his early career he trained at least 3 days a week in his Mangere gym. I think we can all learn a lesson from Tua and that is, to be great at something you have to train hard and give it your best!

Zinger Pinger

My pet is the best pet in the world because he can get you what you want when you call him. His name is King Boy. He will get you what you need. Why I like my pet is that he is fun to play with and he has spikes that can keep you safe. He also has laser eyes that can see through things. He can also wear clothes and plays video games. He can also play on an Xbox 360.
