Technology

On Wednesday last week the year 7’s and 8’s went to technology at Morewa
School. I was doing woodwork. The time before we had made the molds for our
necklaces but this time we melted the Puter (some sort of metal) and made it
look nice and shiny. Most people had to restart because it was too big, mine
was the first to be done because mine was quite small. It took quite a long time
to make it look nice, we had to do about 4 things but they took about an hour
each to do (It actually ended up looking really shiny). Next time we go to
technology we are going to make the holes on the necklaces, put the string on
and start our new project. What I could do better next time is when something
doesn't work i could ask for help.

Terrific Tips To Help Your Learning!

In Te Ngahere we made something called a Digital Dig. We had to explain how
to use chromebooks, what the keyboard shortcuts are & other things that relate
to that topic. I found this Digital Dig quite fun & a little bit challenging to do.
When I needed help I didn’t ask so it took a while to get it  finished. Next time I
do something like this if I don’t know what to do I will ask someone for help
instead of doing nothing. What I learnt from doing this Digital Dig was a new
keyboard shortcut, which was how to see all keyboard shortcuts, you do it by
pressing Ctrl + Alt + / (Forward Slash).

Have you ever done a Digital Dig before?

Walk in the bush!

On Tuesday Te Ngahere left the school to go for a walk in the bush. We went to
the bush to get inspiration for designing our class to look the Ngahere. In the
bush we saw and heard heaps of cool things like a tui and we saw trees
growing on other trees. We had to look for plants to make for our class
designing in our groups. Grace and I found heaps of different types of ferns
and vines, we took some back to class so we can remember what they looked
like. When we got back to class we had to put the plants in a safe place so that
they didn’t get wrecked, so we put in is my pencil case. Next we are going to
use those plants so we can make them and design our class using them.
