Highlight Of Term 2
This term has been fantastic. My highlight of the term was actually finishing our project we were given. I was very pleased when Ms Tito said that it was completed. Our project was to design furniture for the street and make it a place we love and respect in our senior block. My other highlight of the term was playing netball and rugby for the school.
The Design Process
This term we have been working through the design process. The first step was to identify a need. Our need was to make the street a place we love and respect and by doing that we had to design furniture for it.
We got to choose what we could design. There were plenty of options but Vaha and I decided we would go with partitions/walls. We researched for some ideas using our netbooks so that we knew what it looked like. We made sure that it was safe, practical, creative, and innovative.
The following step was generating ideas. We had to modify it to make it our own. When we were generating ideas we had to make sure we were able to visualise and image and new ideas.
I really liked working through the design process and seeing how it works. Vaha and I enjoyed it so much. Hopefully we have time to finish it and get to build it. This is our finish product.

Rugby League Session.
Yesterday morning we were lucky to have a rugby league session with one of the members from the Vodafone junior warrior squad. His name was Sio Siua Taukeiaho. Once we got there we were put into 4 groups of 7 or 8.
The first drill we did was a in and out one. The first team that got to five were the winners. Team one won of course. The second drill we did was my favourite one because it was all about trying to score a try. It was also the first on to three. You had to zig zag in between the people and once you got to the end you had to sprint to the end and score a try.
The very last drill we did was Kick Tennis. The aim of the drill was to try and get the other team out. You had to kick the ball to the other team if they didn’t catch and it landed next to you then that player was out. If you kicked it below the waist then the person who kicked it was out. This drill was really fun and interesting especially the name of it.
It was really fun training with Siua . Hopefully we get to do it again another time.

Science Road Show
Last week on Thursday the senior classes went down to the road show. We had to pay $7 to get in to the show.
It was held at Tamaki College. We all walked down class by class. It is part of our topic Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger.
Before we left Ms Tito put us into groups of 4-6.I was one of the leaders for one group. In my group was me and 4 others ,Teari, Destiny, David and Ben. Ms Tito gave some digital cameras and flip cameras to some people to get some footage of the exhibit. Each group got given a work sheet to do but only I did it by myself the rest of my group were off goofing around the place.
My favourite exhibit was the theromen one. You put your hands over these metal plates and it would make a pitchy noise whether you put your hand close or far way. The one that I didn't like the most was the bubbling liquid because when I tried it, it didn't work.
