Term 1!

In term 1 I had testing. In maths I got a stanine nine which is good because at the start of last year I only got a stanine seven. In reading a got  stanine seven and I can't remember my other results. In term 1 they choose the house captains and class counselors. I didn't go for them because I didn't want to do public speaking and I didn't want to be a leader and give up my lunch times. In soft materials tech arts I recapped on how to straight and zig zag stitch and I learnt how to make slippers, a beanie and a jersey. In science tech arts we've only made slime and soap, but we've been learning about atoms and molecules. last week we learnt how to separate salt water into salt and water. The next tech art we're doing is food tech arts I think. Food is my favorite tech arts. I don't really know what else to write about because I wrote about them in my other blog posts so yeah bye. I will leave you with a educational quote by Malcolm X 'Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare today'

week 9 Term 1! Camp!

On Monday, we went to Zealandia and learnt about birds especially endemic, introduced and native birds. Endemic means they live only in New Zealand, Introduced means they were never native or endemic to New Zealand they were brought here by other people and Native means they live here naturally and also live other places in the world naturally. The main point of Zealandia is to keep mammals away from the birds to create a safe place for the birds that's why they have meter high fences above the ground and a little below the ground with a roof on top. They also have a dam going through the middle of Zealandia. After Zealandia we went to the nation holocaust center to learn more about the holocaust and a survivor of the holocaust talked to us. After the holocaust we went to weta workshop to learn about intense make up. On Tuesday,  we went to a space place and learnt about space then went on a cable car. after we got of the cable car we went to parliament and learnt about that then went to learn about the waihene disaster.
