Hamlin Hill

On the 26th of February room 7 and 1 went to Hamlin Hill but first we had a lesson with Frazier at school so we could learn more about what we have to do and what we shouldn't do like we have to stay on track and we can't go in front of Frazier and we also had to look after the binoculars that were given to us. We learnt about animals that were killing our native animals and killing our trees and plants, the type of pests that were killing native animals and killing our trees are possums, ferret, weasel, Mustela, which are in the Mustelidae family.

when we got there we had to clean our shoes because if we didn't we could kill our native trees and plants so what we did was spray our shoes then brush of any germs then we started our walk to the top.

Once we got to the top we had our lunch while Frazier told us stories about why they kill the pest and how we can take more care about our beautiful planet.

The day was fun but it had to end sometime so then we went back to the bus and we all went back to school with more knowledge.

My last tech

On the first day of cooking I was so excited to see what we were going to make because I knew every class we go to we are learning about something that well be common to our adult life and my favourite one would have to be cooking because we would cook what we eat and we always learn something else to make when we are adults and have our own kids so I it's great to have someone teach us what we could make, (name of teacher: Mrs Tuipulotu.)
we all learnt new skills and techniques to cut common food we would use when we are older like cutting a tomatoes, onions, and other things.


my favourite one out of all of them would have to be the British breakfast because there was so much elements on one plate and we got to see all the food British people eat.

We could have not learnt all these types of food without our teacher Mrs Tuipulotu and I would like to thank her because she has made my life easier for me so thank you!!!

Smart Media

What is media? Well it's basically a place where you can see stories or articles that are happening around the world.

places you can find news is on newspapers, mobile devices, T.V, and much more places but the one place everyone goes to see news maybe on their devices and how they do that is with internet. 

But the question that people should ask to them self is "is this true or not" because what if the news was fiction, what if it was all just a big lie. People  do do this and what we call it is scams, scams are when people do something online and persuade people to believe what they say or what they put on sale.

In conclusion some articles or stories are not true so to find out if it is true you have to look for more information instead of believing what people say.

Feels Great to be A Champion!!!

Every New Zealander in this world should be so proud of our New Zealand team the Silver Ferns.

because They played a great game against Australia, they were winning at first the score was 28-25 bu then luck got away in the final quarter when Australia winning three points.

It wasn't going to hold them back so when they were thought they were done their Captain gave them some inspiring words "It's all worth it when you have the belief nothing can stop you. I am so glad that I came back. It feel so good, I can't believe We've done it. It's not just for us it's for everyone in New Zealand!!! "       

Tech Time

At tech we all pick what we were going to make so I have chosen to make my favourite one that Mr Grundy has made and that is a dispenser for my sisters and I.

I think this is the best choice because my sister and I should get a treat for doing trials and working around the house.

It would get used for making the kids do more work or could be used to make my sisters and I work more harder at school.

For this projected I will have to consider making it useful so that my projected isn't just a piece of wood. 

Movie Time

My family and I got ready to go to Sylvia Park to see the new version of Lion King ( I still like the original movie better but who knows I might like the new version better.)

We were done watching the movie and my brother got my sisters and I some food and went back home to hold his baby named Raymond I had a great time at Sylvia Park.
