GOING RAFTING!!

Last week on Friday we had the chance to experience rafting at Wero Whitewater Park. Before going on the trip, everyone had a notice taken home consisted of the things we needed for rafting. 

Rafting was difficult as you would have to paddle your raft backwards. I didn't understand how to do it. Thank you to my instructor (Jay) for giving us a moment to pause. Besides that, the most appealing part for me was going down the bumps while standing up. I had a superior and fun time!

The Start To Making 3D Games! -Graphics

This week for graphics we drew four designs that had 3D things to make it. First we were given a large paper and with that paper, we had to fold twice and start designing our 3D games.

Out of all the designs I drew today, my favourite design would probably be the chess board game. The chess board game would be my favourite because each chess piece are animal emojis. I was inspired by Miss Ferguson's emoji chess board game drawn on the whiteboard because she changed her pawns into poo emojis.

Goodbye Rippa Rugby!

It has come to the end of rippa rugby. I was incredibly curious about what was going to happen next. Rippa rugby was a fun event to participate in and made everyone work as a team and interact more.

During rippa rugby I learnt some things like remembering to hold the ball with two hands instead of one. I had an extremely superior time and I thank Coach Corey for his time and effort for introducing us to rippa rugby! Thank you. next

The Beginning of Graphics!

Today was the start to a new class at Tech since cooking class for my group is finished. Now for Tech we have Miss Ferguson and she will be teaching us graphics.

Our first session for graphics was to create a google drawing and import all of our favourite things as "png images". It was fascinating because looking at my friends google drawings, you could already tell which is their favourite.

Through the process I had a super great time learning graphics and I can't wait for today.

Teachers Go On Strike!

Yesterday primary and secondary teachers go on strike for a better pay and the conditions of teaching. 50,000 teachers went on strike and some failed to turn up to school. Around 750,000 students weren't being taught while strike was happening.

A number of teachers protested through the main cities, regarding a better deal of their payment from the government. The government offered teachers a 3 percent pay rise for the next three years. Teachers across the country believe that is not enough.

In my opinion teachers going on strike is important because in the next five or six years there might not be anymore teachers available. Without teachers there would be no one to teach the students about education.

New Zealand Teachers Are Going On Strike?

Tomorrow primary and secondary teachers across New Zealand are going on strike. They will all be combined and will have a "MEGA strike" held on 29th May.

The joint strike will be the largest business action taken in New Zealand. Involving 50,000 teachers from primary and secondary. Both groups have been unable to agree with the government for her new deal for payment.

What are your opinions on the mega strike tomorrow?

Goodbye Cooking Class!☹️

Today was our last day with Mrs Tuipolotu for cooking class. I was extremely sad because I learnt so many things during cooking class and now, finally I can cook for my family. For our last day at cooking class we cooked chocolate muffins.

The instructions were clear and simple which made me not as anxious that much. The hardest part in the process was folding the ingredients but not mixing it. Agueer taught me out to fold all of the ingredients inside the bowl. Now I know how to fold.

Finishing results amazed me because they turned out DELICIOUS! In the picture the green and purple cupcake liners are Agueer's cupcakes and the pink and yellow liners are mine. To top our beautiful muffins, we had the chance to whip whip cream on one of our muffins.

As soon as I tasted the chocolate muffin it was the best thing I've tasted at cooking class. It was the perfect meal to end off cooking class.
