Last Week Of School!!!

Source: Last Week Of School

This week is the last week of school. I am very excited that it's close to the two weeks holiday. I think that you would be happy about this as well, I mean who wouldn't be? I'll be sure to read through the holidays so I'll be ready for next term. It's only a few more days until ANZAC! So I'm sure it's going to be a busy holiday for everyone else. School has been really good lately, I am learning to be a well behaved year 7. Next week on Tuesday I am going to Taranaki known as New Plymouth for the holidays.  

Commonwealth Games: Athletics

Last night was the Commonwealth Games
Athletics.

The track and field has been proven to be our country's most successful sport.

Our country has won 130 medals in the history of the Games, 35 of them being gold. Just by thinking of that, isn't our country working so hard to get so many medals?

Many of our memorable Commonwealth Games' moments have occurred in athletics from Yvette Williams, Peter Snell, Murray Halberg, Les Mills, Dick Taylor, John Walker and Anne Audain.

Making Hotcakes At Tamaki College Cookin Tech!!!

Today we made hotcakes with Mrs Tuipulotu and the year 8s made sponge cakes. It wasn't that hard to make apart from the time when my partner flipped the hotcakes. After we finished cooking we put  our hotcakes on two plates for me and my partner. Then we went to our teacher so that we could put on the chocolate sauce and take our picture.

Starting Off For A New Year

This year has been very exciting. Being in Room 12 is a bit  different from last year.  This year I feel new to the school. My teachers are Mrs Golder and Mr Reid. To me they're hard working and sometimes funny teachers. At our school we have six prefects and their names are Riiana, Jessica, Leanah, Pupuke, Saluselo and Katrina. Katrina is the head prefect of our school

Cybersmart learning!!

Between yesterday and today I have discovered how to be cybersmart in the digital world out there.
These are what I have learnt on the Maniakalani Cybersmart website:

1.Make smart decisions about who and how you communicate with online.

Reading all of these websites helped me and reminded me of being safe on the internet.

Making Tomato Soup

Today is our fourth day here at cooking tech. I really enjoyed cooking with my new partner Sia. When we finally finished cooking this tomato soup we cleaned our kitchen. Eventually we finished cleaning so we went to our table to try out our tomato soup. When I put the spoon of tomato soup and rice into my mouth I was proud of our tomato soup it was so delicious. The only issue we had about our soup was that it was to sour because we didn't add that much brown sugar.

Room 10 Syndicate Assembly

                            
Yesterday Room 10 presented to us a dance battle for their Syndicate Assembly. The contestants in Room 10 were Kymani and Alamone, and the contestants in Room 9 were Iosefo and Peter. I think that Iosefo was very hilarious while he was dancing but it was upsetting that his partner wasn't dancing with him. At the end Room 9 lost against Room 10. Then it was the final dance battle against my class, Room 12. Pupuke did a good job for us but Peni let our class down so we lost against Room 10, but I think that next time will be better.
