Another term of tech

This term the year 7s are now doing wood tech. 

Since it's the first lesson of the term our teacher is showing us around by giving us a treasure hunt.

Our classroom is full of tools and great wood carvings. This term we will be using tools like a spinning lathe  and other hand tools like tenon saws , coping saws, squares and rulers. We are going to make boxes, we will cut shapes,  make signs and whistles.

Tech - Soft Materials

Last week we finished our soft toys. We are now making pencil cases. They are a little bit easier than the soft toys so they will only take two days to get finished. Today we are also packing up since  it is the last week of term.

We will be allowed to have free time after we have gotten our pencil cases and toys marked off, if they haven't already. We are going to have a big pack up because it is the last sesion of the term and everything needs to be clean.

Everyone enjoyed tech this term and everyone is looking forward to it next term.

Hockey and Soccer Practice Begins

It's a new Term and a new beginning for Winter sports. This part of the Term we are playing Hockey and Soccer so we all have a vote on what we want to do, most of us voted for soccer and only a few  of us voted,for hockey so we all had to do the hockey try outs. 

Some people didn't want to do hockey, After the try outs they thought they would like it more than soccer after all.
Some people tried out for soccer and got into the hockey team, because there might be to many people in the soccer team or there actually better at hockey than they thought.

So stay up to date with the blog to see what sport your child got into.

2014 camp

The yr 7,8 camp has just finished and everybody is tired. Our camp was at wainui, some of the activities we did we're raft building, coasteering, snorkelling, kayaking and more.
We played games such as animal survival all about the way of life, sardines a night game including the teacher, and kings and queens where we had challenge the king or queen and if you have the highest card you win the game.

We had a chef named Marg. She is a great cook and did a great job every night. We all had chore 
Groups witch had to do the dishes and other cleaning on the nights.

We had a common room where me we're allowd to go on the I pads and play quiet games it was
Also our meeting area where we get told our next activity. Most of our activitys were water based
Like kiaking and snorkelling but we did other activitys like search and rescue were good as we'll 
Because we didn't need to get in and out of our togs or wetsuit. 

My favourite activity was kiaking because you get your own kiak and the boats go fast if you want
them to and the instructors thought of really good games to play.

We also had a camp fire Whitch was really fun, we sang songs that everybody enjoyed and did really 
Fun games.

On the first day we did a hike to get to camp. It takes three to four hours so but we did it in two.
In was still a hard walk most of it was up hill but from the half way point it was easyer.

They also had grass skies with for me was the best part of the camp. They ar like big roller skates
Without a built in shoe. There was a small but steep hill witch we were allowed to use. Some people 
Sat on them first and then stood up afterwards I did the same but the second time I fell off and rolled down the hill. i crept on trying but never manged to do it I saw some people using crates on the grass
Skis. I tried doing it with one ski and I got to the bottom really fast.
