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!

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.

Graphics

On Tech day, the Yr 8 change Tech class. So we went to Mr Pineda to do Graphics. Once we got there we started to draw our own design about fruits that we can think of. When I had finish my design, Mr Pineda put them all up on the board. We also get points only if we behave, be reasonable and be respectful. Last year for Graphics I got the highest points in Mr Pineda class, but now I really don't know who got the highest points.
