Term 1 Week 3

This week we did visual language. Our visual language was a dream board. Our dream board is about what we want to do in the future. We had to find pictures on the internet that relate to what we would like to be or do in the future. We had to choose a piece of A3 backing paper to glue the pictures to. Once we had found all our photos and had glued them on, we had to write a paragraph about what we had done, and explain why we put certain photos on. Then we glued the writing on the back of the A3 sheet. After we had finished gluing all the photos and had glued the writing on, we had to laminate them. Then we were finished. I am proud of my work.

Term 1 Week 2

This week we had tech arts. We are doing design. We are making speakers. I am up to making the hole for the switch. I don't have much more to do to finish it. We have tech twice a week - Tuesday first block, and Friday middle block. We will also make a phone holder after we finish our speakers. The year 7's are doing fabric, and last week they made tennis balls.

Week 1 Term 1

Wow, it's the first week back for 2016! This week we welcomed the new year 7's into the school with a powhiri. There were lots of Maori speeches. As I am now a year 8 I had to sit on the stage while all the year 7's were welcomed into the hall. When we got back to class after the powhiri, we had to teach the year 7's about the rules. It is very weird without the year 8's from last year. It feels a bit weird being a year 8 and having to be a role model to the year 7's, but I think I will get used to it.
