Erebus Disaster Remembered

A special ceremony for families who lost people. Jacinda Ardern issued a wholehearted and wide reaching apology. Neither the government nor Air New Zealand had made a full apology before. 257 people have lost their lives, I hope it doesn't happen again.

Our Last Tech Session At Tamaki College

This Week Wednesday, it was our last week at Tech.  I was in wood work and I made a mirror. I loved it in wood work we receive M&M's when we help out, or clean or beat him in a matchstick game. Sir Grundy was very strict with his rules, we weren't allowed to sit on the stools because a lot of us kept leaning on it. (Whether we fall, hit our head and probably get injured.) I had finished making my mirror but i had to leave it for six hours for the glue to set.

Diwali Festival!

Diwali Festival or Light Festival was officially celebrated. It was a free event down in queens street, this free event was celebrated by the members of Hindu, Jain and Sikh Faiths. Families would light candles and would bring a lot of food. 

Fire Breaks Out In Sky City!

A major fire has caused a lot of toxic pollution in Auckland City.  Please make sure you have a gas mask or a cloth with you so that you can cover your nose and mouth from the toxic air. I believe this is majorly sad and scary, it depends on who was there in the cause of the fire. Please take care of yourselves when you are going to the Sky City.

Tech 2019

At tech we were with Sir Grundy. We had to finish off with our 320 piece of wood. A lot of the girls were making a mirror but the boys loved to make toys like trains, helicopters and many more toys. I personally love Wood Work, we have to be on task and focus so that we can get good reports.

A Little Penguin

So a 12 year old penguin was titled as "New Zealand's penguin of the year". He had such a horrible past, this little penguins name is Draco, not much penguins are named but this little penguin is a very fast swimmer. He/She is now known as New Zealand's penguin of the year.

Penguin Swims From NZ To Australia

A baby penguin has swam 2500km from NZ to Australia. Penguins can't fly but they are the most fastest swimmers in the world. It was found struggling against the rocks near Melbourne, It was taken away to the Melbourne zoo to get it nursed. The Melbourne zoo has released the penguin into the wild, A lot of people were hoping for it to make his way safely back to NZ.

Wood Work With Sir Grundy

Today we had an awesome day with Sir Grundy. We had to draw what we wanted to make, we mostly had to focus on the joints. Wood work was really fun, we had the chance to choose eight or more of the things we wanted to make, we used a ruler so that we could know our measurements.

Measles Are Spreading!!

Measles are highly known as a contagious disease that would spread to children younger than five or 15 and between 29 years old. So if you feel like you have measles then please go to the doctors and get it checked. When you get measles, you get sick like headaches, runny nose and dry coughs.

New Zealand's Friendliest Place

Christchurch

After all the earthquakes and disasters that have been happening in Christchurch, it is now known that Christchurch is the most friendliest place in New Zealand. Do you agree? 

it awkwardly depends on how people act and what people say. Remember to be kind to each other and always remember that no one can let you down.
