Visiting My Nana

On Sunday afternoon around 1.00 pm my dad, sister and I headed to visit my nana at Auckland hospital as she was very sick.

When we arrived up at the hospital we parked the car then made our way to my nana's ward. Finally we made it and stayed a little while with her. We talked mostly about school and the rugby world cup. Eventually we got something to eat then said goodbye because it was getting late.

Shake Out Drill!

“Ding, Ding, Ding” three bells rang meaning stop, cover and hold.

At 9:15 this morning we had our first shake out drill to practice in case there was an actual earthquake. So everybody ducked under their desks and stayed there until we were allowed out next.

While we were under our desk some of us couldn't wait till we got out because it was so cramped. But then soon after we were allowed back out and everyone was very relieved.

Testing To Be Better Than Before

This term there are a lot of things to look forward to such as being tested. I know being tested doesn't sound the best but for me it is. Being tested has given me the help I need to be better than before. Although sometimes I may not have achieved what I wanted there is always next time for me to improve.

Record Breaking Roller Coaster

Record Breaking Roller Coaster

Created on September 21, 2015

Ohio’s Cedar Point amusement park is set to open the Valravn Birdseye roller coaster which will break 10 world records!

Scheduled to open in 2016, the Valravn Birdseye will be the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster.

Cedar Point amusement park has released a mock experience of what it will be like to ride the Valravn and it certainly isn’t a ride for the faint hearted!

Polar Bears

For the past few weeks my group including Tiperia and Suliasi created a report about polar bears. Here is just a little bit of information we learnt.

Polar bears only live in places they can hunt for food. Although they are very fussy about there food as they only love to eat ringed seals. It is also very rare for a polar bear to live until 30 years of age unless they live in a marine park. It is rare as most polar bears pass away before they can even reach the age of 25.

But if polar bears aren't raised in a marine park its best to stay away as some polar bears will attack. So be aware every time you may come across a polar bear especially if its not friendly!

My Wood Tech Project

Today I received my little drawer that I made in wood tech at Tamaki College.

It took a few weeks to make and a lot of measuring as well as sawing but I finished it in the end. The first thing I had to do was plan out what I wanted to do and got given a piece of wood to start off with. I then measured it out so that I could saw it and make my first cut. Soon I was getting the hang of it and was taught how all the tools worked including how to chisel which was quite fun. A few weeks later I had completed my little drawer and was allowed to take it home.
