Tamaki College Overdrive

Today LS2 have been reading books on the Tamaki College Overdrive. There have been lots of new books that have been added on. I decided to read a book about U.S. Presidents. The Tamaki College Overdrive is useful and really easy to use.

A Day At Tamaki College

Today the year eights from Panmure Bridge School stayed at Tamaki College for a day to experience what it would be like if we decide to go there. First we had technology as normal. We were doing stained glass windows with Mr Grundy. After that we had morning tea. Tamaki College was really kind and provided morning tea and lunch for us. Our first class was Maths and our teacher was Mr Jones. We played a game called Battleships. After that we headed off to Science where we did some cool experiments using static electricity. Our teachers were Mr Stoddard and Mr Singh. Then it was lunch time. We had Subway for lunch. Four of our students who showed the Tamaki College values got a $5 dollar tuck shop voucher. I got a voucher for showing Responsibility. Our next class was English and our teacher was Mr Stevenson. Their we had to look at some words carefully and memorise them. We then had to write them down on a document and find images of the words. Our last class was P.E. Our teacher was Mr Moyes. We played a game of Turbo Touch. I had a really fun day and I would like to give a really big thank you to everyone who looked after us at our time there.

Tech

Today at tech the year seven and eights had their new rotations. My new rotation is now Graphics with Ms Ferguson. We had to create to google drawings. The first one was all about you. We had to create a collage using image that describes you. The second drawing was all about clocks. We had to put images of all the clocks we know on that drawing.

Tech

Today the year seven and eights went for their tech sessions at Tamaki College. The year eights had cooking with Mrs Heka. We were making chicken kebabs with potato salad. The ingredients for the potato salad were egg, potato, bacon, spring onions and salad dressing. For the kebabs I used chicken and I used soy sauce. When I mixed the chicken and the soy sauce together, put the chicken on the kebab sticks and gave it to Mrs Heka so she could put it in the oven. When it was cooked it tasted it. It tasted really nice.

Rockets At Tamaki College

Today after out tech classes, the year seven and eights from Panmure Bridge School went on worked on our rockets with Mr Dunn and Miss Ferguson. At the start we were just finishing designing our rockets. I worked with Lyndon, Harry and Daniel. After everyone finished we went to the field to shoot our rockets up. Our rocket was called UFA (Unidentified Flying Object). Some rockets landed in other areas and some of them backfired and twirled in the air. Everyone had fun time at Tamaki College. Thank you Miss Ferguson and Mr Dunn for taking the time work on our rockets with us.
