The Creation Story

Reflection: We had to retell the creation story in our own words it took us a whole week but I thought it was fun to retell the story using slides. I worked collaborative with Eva. 

First Day At Tech Recount

WALT: Use correct sentence punctuation in our blog posts and comments.

On our first day of tech we took a bus ride to Kataia Intermediate, all the year 8's went to cooking class and the year 7's got split up. Half of them went to wood-work and the rest went to technology. I was one of those of those people who went to technology and our teacher was Mr. Russel we were going to make this specific type of block where you can put your pencils in because the holes where pencil-shaped. And there's also a gap where you can fit your phone in because the gap is specifically designed for your phone but we haven't finished.

Book Review: The Titans Curse

Lately, I’ve been reading a book called ‘The Titans Curse’ my friend recommended me to read it. So far, Percy, Annabeth and Thalia have been dropped off at a boarding school. A centaur called Grover has found 2 half-bloods in the school, a brother and a sister. He also has found a monster which turns out to be the vice-principal, Dr Thorn. A half-blood is half-mortal, half-god, finding 1 half-blood is very rare so finding 2 or more is extremely rare.

Team Building 3

WALT: To work together as a team

On Wednesday we did our 3rd team building challenge and In my opinion, this one was the hardest. We had a bunch of water balloons and the task was to throw it to each member of the team in a circle, but we had to take a step back each time someone caught it. In my team was Ella, Eva, Aneika, Lyric and me. We weren't very successful as we dropped the balloon heaps of times, but I thought it was fun and funny when we dropped the balloon.

Team Building 2

WALT: To work together as a team


Yesterday on Tuesday we did another team-building activity in groups of 4 or 5. This task was to make the tallest and strongest tower of marshmallows and skewers. We only had 20 minutes to make the tower. In the team I was in there was Ella, Eva, Manaia, Imogen and me. We decided to do a cube tower but it fell apart, so we tried a different approach and because it kept falling apart so it ended up looking like a really weird shape. But when the timer hit 1 everyone's tower either collapsed or wasn't finished ours only collapsed a little and so we won.

Team Building

WALT: Work together as a team

Reflection: Yesterday we had to do a task in a team, to show that we can actually finish that task by working in a team. There were 5 stacks of cups. Each stack of cups had twenty in them. The task was to make a 20 cup tower but we couldn't use any of our body parts. The only materials we could use were a long piece of string and a rubber band. And we only had 10 minutes to make it. In the next round, we needed to make the longest 20 cup tower and in the final round a 6-storey tower.
