Post meeting with client

What do you like? - watching Iron Man films and eating chocolate (is this important for your design work?)

What do you not like? - the colour yellow and mushrooms (is this important for your design work?)

What is your favourite colours? - purple, green and blue

What theme are you interested in for the wall? - I would like you to combine the fact that food and graphics are taught in the building. The wall is opposite the creek so maybe using natural shapes and images could work too.

How big does the mural have to be? - it needs to fill most of the wall at the end of the T9 and T10 building

How much paint do we need for the mural? - I can’t answer that question. You will have to research that.

What activities go on in your classroom? - drawing, painting, making 3D models, 3D printing, laser cutting. Cooking, boiling, oven, rolling out, mixing, measuring, frying, baking.

Is there certain designs that you would prefer? - You could use all pictures or you could combine some words too. Make the words clear and readable. Not sentences, just words.

What patterns would you like us to use? - cultural patterns would look good with natural images.

Do we have to have to school name or logo / emblem on the design? - you can if you like but you don’t have to.

sounds - people digging the ground.

 light - fire. 

Experiencing a Auckland Eruption!

Experiencing a Eruption?

First I saw black smoke coming out of the eruption while the small pieces of ash and bombs and blocks coming straight out. While the magma was pushing through the crust While the lava oozing out into the water which creates smoke and ash and then becomes rock, which creates a new mountain or volcano.  

My name is Beyonce and I was visiting New Zealand when I noticed something unusual out in the water of Mission Bay. At first I saw black smoke coming out of the ground, and I thought to myself "I'm so scared." As I watched it coming out of the ground and the water, it was creating more smoke. 

Luckily I knew what was happening, because I learnt it in year nine science that under the ground magma was pushing through the crust then it comes out through the water and it ends in a Vertical Eruption. 

made in taiwan

The main purpose of Nathan and Oscar’s trip was how they both travelled from aotearoa, mahia, Cook island, Samoa then Vanuatu and taiwan.  

Some of the interesting discoveries that they came across on their journey were in?

• Cook Island spirits - They all galop before they leave into the underworld.
  
  Evidence that supports the theory that Polynesians originated from Asia?
• Taiwan traditional dance was similar to the NZ maori haka.
  
  From my point of view, I thought that Oscar and Nathan wasn’t going to archive their journey but they did .
• 
  

My personal thoughts on their journey is that I would not want to go for a long journey because it's just too much.

Science in the last 6 Weeks!

WALT: Describe the layers of the earth and how they were represented by our cake.

The first part on the outside was the crust. 

The second layer is the mantle.

Third layer is the outer core which is thick.

The last earth layer is the Inner core. 

Crust - is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet.

Mantle - is more than two thousand miles thick and accounts for more three-quarters of the volume of the earth.

Outer core - is a fluid layer about 2,400 km thick and composed of mostly iron and nickel that lies above earth's solid inner core.

Inner core - it is primarily a solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 kilometres, which is about 70% of the moon's radius.

Culture Groups!

So this year on term 4, we are now starting to practice our culture group. Which are Samoan, Tonga, Maori and Cook Islands. Around week 5 last term the Tongan culture groups started before all the other groups. But this term the Samoan and Maori culture groups are going to start around week 4 or 6. For culture groups mostly some of Rm 12 and 11 gets nervous and confused. So this year I hope it goes really well!  

Manaiakalani film fest.

Yesterday around 12:04 p.m. we were all lucky to take a bus to Sylvia park, to go and watch all the Manaiakalani school films at the Hoyts. Ones we arrived inside the cinema we all waited quietly for about 5 minutes for all the schools to arrive. Most of Manaiakalani films were interesting and really creative. I was completely nervous for our movie to begin. Overall I had a great time watching all the Manaiakalani movies!

      Enjoy watching our Movie!

Glass Work

Link

Today we went to tech and once we arrived there I knew that we were about to do a new technology. Which was making stuff out of glass, in Mr Grundy work shop. We were about to make our objects, before that Mr Grundy showed all of us an video of how to start off drawing our designs. Before we were about to start, Mr Grundy warned all of us lots of rules before we start. 

First Day of Tech Term 4

On the first day of tech, we went to Mr Grundy work shop to finish off our glass that we made last term. Once we arrived, Mr Grundy welcome us all into his work shop. We all went to grab our glass board which had our work on top. So all of us had to go to Mr Grundy's work table, because Mr Grundy is about to show us all the steps. We had a fun time back at tech.

Practicing Cross Country.

This week we started practicing Cross Country on Monday to Friday every week for our daily fitness in the morning. Every morning we have to run two laps around the streets, but for the Yr 8 and Yr 7 finals we have to run about three to four laps around. Today was our first time running which we did really well for the first day, but it was tiring. I hope we get better than before. 
 

Orienteering

Yesterday after morning tea,  was exited to go orienteering to do a fun activity with the whole room 12. After 20 minutes of play it was time to do orienteering, everyone line up to be given each a clip card and a map. When it was time for me to start I looked confused so I had to tell Meana to help me. When I was done with the first course which was course 2, I moved on to the next course until it finished. It was tiring but fun!!
     

Paper Mache

Yesterday between morning tea, we went to tech. after 3 mins, we arrive to Tamaki collage then we all head to graphics. Then we started to get the equipment all ready. Mr Pineda gave us all a balloon each to make our Mache. Once we left our Mache to get dry for about one week an a half.  We came back to technology to check if our Mache was dry. Most of our Mache was dry and wasn't, so I decided to add more layers of glue and paper. So I had to leave my Mache for another week to dry.    

Pasifika performance

Today after morning tea we went to the multipurpose to perform our song from the movie Moana How Far I'll Go. Every class had to come up with an item to perform which relates to our Pasifika Study. Most of the performances were the classes singing, for room 6's performance they chose to do a cat walk as they showcased their Tongan and Samoan wear. Once there performance were done the audience gave them a clap. I really enjoyed watching every classes performances.
