This term for Tech my group have been in woodwork. Our goal by the end of the term was to make a box that can hold our treasures in it but before we started to make them we made some other objects first. At the start of the term we made letter out of wood and made them into a key chain for mine it was of course going to be the letter A. Next we made a notebook holder it was kind of like  box but a bit different and at the end of one side it had holes drilled on the top of it so it could also be a pencil holder.  Now after all that it was time to make the box first we had to draw a 3D image in our books and mark how long and how wide each side was. than we would mark out the measurements on the wood and cut it out. that is where I am up too. Have you ever been in woodwork's?

On the 15th of August the primary teachers went on strike which means we have a day off while the teachers protest for more school time and less paperwork. My opinion on the teachers strike are mixed because it isn't fear that teachers have more paperwork and less time with students but the paperwork can also be important. Teachers work non stop and never really have a day off only if they are sick and even than as soon as they get better the start work straight away. Let's hope they get what they protested for. What are your thoughts on the primary teachers strike?

This term my class have been working on speeches my speech is about impacting peoples lives. Intro Would you rather make an impact on other people's lives or people making an impact on your life. In reality we are doing both, we are impacted by the people we love such as our family, and friends or even strangers. We learn from these people. Some people don’t realize that when we are communicating with others we are already affecting their lives in either a good or bad way. Everyone in my hub has presented their speech and I am one of a few people that made it to the next round on speeches. Have you presented a speech this year if so what was your topic?

On Monday my class went to the New Zealand book awards it was held in Saint Margret school. My class got divied up into two groups. I went in the first group so the writers that I saw was  Fleur Beale, Joanna Grochowicz, and Suzanne  they explained what their books were about and how they came up with the idea. Two classmates from my class got one of their books signed by them. Have you ever been to book awards?

Welcome back in school my group an I are reading a book called Oracle it is a great book. Why did you choose this book? I chose this book because it captured my interest in how the characters act and what they do in the description Summarise what you have read so far? There is a boy called Nikko and he saves his baby sister Thetis form his dad because his dad did not want Thetis so he was going to feed her to the wolfs. When they were older they went to visit an old hag at that point Thetis could not speak so the hag healed Thetis and she could speak but she could only speak the truth. As the years passed by one of the workers Orkestres of the high king was sent to get the children for the children were amazing at acrobatics and the king wanted them for amusement. Has the book started off how you thought? Why/why not? This book has started off how I thought it would because by the description and cover it gave great detail. I could tell where the book was heading.
