Food Tech 🍳

This year the year 7 and 8's have been going to Tamaki College every Wednesday for Technicraft. The subjects the college have are Wood and Cooking. The teacher for Wood is Mr Grundy and for Cooking is Mrs Tuipolotu. I have recently been cooking and we've been making a lot of creative foods. My favourite recipe so far would have to be the quiche because it came out how I wanted it to be and it tasted really good. 

Surrounded By Pests 🐞

All the schools in Manaiakalani Cluster except for us is studying about the waterways. Before we started investigating and researching about pests, we wrote down all our prior knowledge on the KWL Chart. This is actually everything I knew. Not a lot of knowledge.



Now after all the exploring and researching, my knowledge about pests has grown.

Where's Mrs Golder🤔

I came to school, only to see that Mrs Golder wasn't here today. Where is she? Why didn't she come to school? Why was there another teacher here? Many questions were going through my head. Then that's when I possibly knew, Mrs Golder was probably sick today. I have to be honest I really wanted her to come to school! Now we can't take our Chromebook's home! Aarrgghh I really hope she comes tomorrow.

Tests 😓

Last week we started another test! It was really complicated. I wasn't really ready but I knew our teacher had prepared us for our test. So I didn't have anything to worry about. We already sat our Vocabulary, Reading and Writing tests. I think I did well. Next to come is Maths. Something that I'm alright at. But fingers crossed that I pass.

The Duffy Play 📑

On Tuesday we had our first ever Duffy Play! I've always loved the Duffy Play because they always inspire us to become better readers in the future. The play was about Millicent a superhero from another planet called Zyndax helping Duffy to save global warming. My favourite actor was Duffy because he was really inspirational throughout the whole show. But I have to say I really enjoyed the show!

First Ever Tabloids 🎉

Yesterday, we spent our whole afternoon doing tabloids. Although tabloids wasn't the same, as it use to be with our normal groups instead we were split into our houses. My whole school was separated into their houses, then we started our tabloids. Although the activities were weird without our normal groups it was fun as well...

It's Time To Start Thinking🤔

On Wednesday we started school again for 2017!! It was really nice seeing all my friends and even the teachers. Once the bell rang everyone ran in front of Room 1 waiting for Mrs Vickers to arrive. It was surprising to see only half of the students at school. Once Mrs Vickers came she had a quick talk to us about the holidays and looking after our school. Afterwards we slowly made our way back to class to start our learning.
