A day out with my friends

Guess what? Poly fest started this week. I was so excited that we were going with our friends and with our teachers. The year 7 and 8's had a opportunity to go to Parakai pools if we behaved well at the Poly fest, Mrs Tele'a was talking about how we have to behave when we are at Poly fest. I was wanting to go on the first day but we couldn't .

The student's from different schools and our year 7 and 8's were so lucky, because got to meet John key. He had a lot of photographers wanting to take a photo of him but his securities kept on telling them to go but I was excited.

Different activities all around Poly fest. Our first activity was to play squash the point of the game was to try and get the fastest serve, the fastest girl's serve was 111 and the fastest speed of the day was 124 and that was my score. My favorite activity of the day was squash, because I had a lot of fun and it had high scores the fastest in the world was 263. and at the end we got to watch some performances and walked around the stadium twice.

I hope I could go to Poly fest with the year 7 and 8's, because I had a lot of fun with my friends and all the parents that came.

Te tuhi art gallery

     

                                          Te tuhi art gallery

On monday we went on a trip to the Te tuhi art gallery, It was my first going to the art gallery because I've never been there before. I was wondering what to ask about how they made this gallery and how many years has it been functioning for 34 years that is amazing I was looking forward to go to Te tuhi art place because I love art sometimes when I am bored I like to draw.

We finally arrived to the Te tuhi art gallery It looked so small but as we went inside it was quite big, We met our instructor and his name was Jeremy he was really kind to us we learned different type of tapa names. Like the masi which is an fijian name, the ngatu which is from tonga and also the siapo which is from samoa, we made our own tapa on a piece of the first thing we had to do was scrunch the paper and use dye so it looks real then we used a brown pastel and a pencil to finish it off.

Then Jeremy took us for a look around the place and it was fun because we got to see how other cultures like to draw. after Jeremy took us into this room where we have to see how they use to film in the olden days and how they film in the new days.

It  was an good experience for me because It was my first seeing different kind of art mixed with there cultures, I would want to go there in the holidays because It was fun to see a lot of people there enjoying art    

Technology

                                               Technology

Every Tuesday mornings some of the year 7 and 8 students walk down to Tamaki college for technology (Tech). at technology we have three different classes we have graphics, food  and hard materials. It’s good that we go to tech because we experience good things

It was fun at our first activities because we got to make chocolate brownies, the equipment we needed was cocoa,eggs,milk and we added a little bit of coconut crumbs. we had to mix the eggs with the milk so that it would have some taste in it then we put it in the oven, as I took a bite It filled my taste buds with joy.

In Graphics it is quite fun because we got to make 3D boxes. And its good to work with my friends because we get to make food and put it in the burger box, our teachers name was Ms heka she was the best because we  made a lot of different food.

Sometimes I feel like going to technology everyday because we get to experience good things. I like having good food teachers because we get to make anything like pasta or biscuits and other things on the last day.

Tangle Pattern

At the start of the term our teachers decided to make a class tangle pattern, to make a class pattern we had to listen to Ms Pagets instructions because we didn’t know what to do. It seemed really fun because we got to draw things that relate to your culture.

The first thing our whole class had to do was to search on google for some patterns because we were creating a class tangle. I was searching for some island design because it related to my culture, I was also looking at some maori design because it looks very interesting.

As the rest of the class was still planning there tangle patterns I had already started on my design, Ms paget had drew to  dots at the end of the tangle patterns so that were to finish our patterns. In my art I drew some lines and koru patterns

It was an very good experience, because we got to draw some really cool patterns and we could make it look very interesting. As soon as you finished you had to write a 4 paragraphs about what you just did.

Taniela's soccer

                           How to play Soccer

Every Monday mornings class 5 goes to the court to learn how to play soccer sometimes we have it on the field. Then our instructor introduced her self to us her name was Sofiya, she was a very kind instructor

We all had to go the yellow the first game we played was stuck in the mud, it was an very hard game because a lot of people got in the middle and we had to run away from them. It was fun because I kept on getting to the other side

Then Sofiya took us in to some real drills they were pretty easy because we just had to dribble the all around the cone and come back to our team. If we were good at doing our drills Sofiya would let us play a game of soccer

Sofiya put us all into equal teams in the other team they had a lot of experienced people in the other team. But when we played we were playing as a team but at the end of the game we beat them by a lot of points.

I was so happy that we ended up playing a Fifa world cup tournament because it was fun. Sofiya was a good instructor because she was teaching us how to play soccer
