Tamaki Tech:LAST DAY OF SCIENCE :(

The day that I don’t like at all in the week are the Mondays. The day when you feel the most tired,weary and well the day when you just don’t want to come back to school. But one thing that really makes me want to come to school on Mondays, is knowing that we have tech at Tamaki. The fact that we can learn about different things about technology every week is pretty cool right!

Sadly this was the last week that my group would be doing science for the year! Throughout the term we have participated in the coolest experiments ever. But the final experiment was also counted as an examination. This task was one of the easier experiments of the term. All we had to do was measure and record the temperature of the water every minute which is placed in a measuring cup, while being heated up by a Bunsen burner.

Though this sounds pretty easy we still enjoyed measuring and watching the temperature change over time. We still learnt a lot from it and were still into the activity. When we had to leave we were pretty sad that it was the last time we would be in science for the year. The teacher told us about how much he enjoyed teaching and talking to us about how cool science. I AM SERIOUS ABOUT TAKING SCIENCE AS A STUDY WHEN I GO TO COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technology Argument Part 1

I think that Technology is one of the big things that make mankind so amazing! I mean just think what would the world be like if we didn’t have technology? Technology is a huge help in life giving man easier lives.

One of the many things that have improved through time that are technological inventions which clearly show how technology is helpful is the mobile phone. The mobile phone is literally “Mobile”, it’s better, faster and stronger. Used mostly to send messages to others with phones or to ring them. It helps people in so many ways, rather than having to travel to tell them a message or mailing the message to them you can easily text them (If you have enough credit!).

Back in the medieval days people were sent to give messages to others around the country. Back in those days messengers were mostly sent to tell the other countries and villages about upcoming wars, new inventions and competitions.

Another reason why the mobile is well used by people is listening to songs and tunes as well as recording videos and taking pictures and snap shots. You are able to also share songs,videos and pictures with others with a thing called “Blue Tooth”.

Another way technology has helped us throughout time is through travel which leads to the invention of the car. Being able to travel at the speed limit of around 100 km per hour on the motorway is obviously a huge help! Vehicles are compulsory to use for travelling, going out and, well just for anything! Most cars around the world can carry the average of 5 people. The age that you have to be these days to drive a car is 16.

Explaining these technology creations just shows what a help technology is these days, cars,tvs,phones. Having technology around us plays a big part in our lives and especially saves us.

Tech Has Started

On the second week of school (just yesterday) we went to our very first tech lesson for the year. As some of you may know we walk down to Tamaki College for our Tech lessons and come back to school at interval. When the first week of school was almost done I learnt that I was taken Electronics as my first tech subject!!! I was excited yet wondering what electronics would be like............

The next week I was ready and eager to learn new things, we walked down to Tamaki and met the teachers, my teachers name was........HE DIDN'T TELL US HIS NAME!!!!!!! Most of the time he told us about what exciting things that we could create throughout the term, sound sensor lights,automatic window closers,fan hats, lazer alarms and way more awesome things.

Next week we are going to start our actual projects and I am looking to really get into it next week. TAMAKI TECH IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a

On the second week of school (just yesterday) we went to our very first tech lesson for the year. As some of you may know we walk down to Tamaki College for our Tech lessons and come back to school just in time for morning tea. Electronics is one awesome option for Tech at Tamaki. Looking forward to our next lesson. Maybe I'll get to make a transformer!

What I'm looking Forward to this year........

There are a lot of things to look forward to this year, camp,sports,our new netbooks!! And so much more..........

One of the many things that I have mentioned that I am really looking forward to using this year are our Netbooks!!! Last year my class had the chance to learn with these wonderful learning tools as part of our learning experience, it was certainly a excellent experience that I am looking forward to doing again.

Another thing that I am looking forward to this year is participating in as many sporting events as I can, I am slowly learning that Point England do some real damage in the sport this year with the new Year 6’s being the reigning champs of rugby and our new Year 8’s being the Rugby League Eastern Zone champs this could be a very big year for Point England Sport.............

Tech was also a fun experience for me, especially cooking, I loved cooking different things each week ,money bags,pizza,chocolate Fudge,combination chowmein, just some of the many delicious things we made last year!! It is also cool seeing that you can cook meals for your family and friends. Cooking has always been a thing that I would love to do as part of my learning.

All those things make this year very exciting, I just hope that it will be one awesome year!!!.................
