Touch Session

Today we had our second touch session. First of all we had a warm up game. Shortly after we went into our first activity. It was an interesting activity. Our couch told us we had to learn all of the basics before you play actual touch. He taught us a unique technique called "Two man settle". After that we continued on developing the skill. Then our coach told us to have a quick round of a game touch. But there was a downside, we had no time due to our new reliever and us students not listening. Then we headed back to class.

Carrie's Cubes

           Carries Cubes

Here is the problem we worked on today on our Math lesson. If you want to solve it or give it a try then go for it. We found making a model with cubes actually helped us with our lesson.

Carrie has glued some cubes together to make a large solid cube with nine small cubes showing on a face.

She paints the large cube red.

How many of the original small cubes have:

1. three faces painted red

2. two faces painted red

3. one face painted red

4. no faces painted red

Glenbrae Kids

This morning after Reciprocal Reading we headed down to Glenbrae Kids for a little visit. Once we got there, we all had to pick a partner that we would cooperate with during our visit there. Shortly after we selected our partners we had to read a book to them. After we read a book to them and also playing toys with them we had to say our goodbyes. It was a great experience with the little kids their at Glenbrae Kids. Then later on we came back to our classroom.

 A funny thing that happened was that a bird came into our senior corridor and threatened us (lol) .

Happy Birthday SAM!

This goes out to my day one friend Sam. Happy Birthday Sam I hope you have a blast today. Thank you for being a caring friend. From your mate Moses. God Bless

• What are some themes from their artwork?

Some of his themes are Hunting and more

• Where did abstract art start from?

From 1909 to 1913 many experimental works in the search for this 'pure art' had been created: Francis Picabia painted Caoutchouc, 1909, The Spring, 1912, Dances at the Spring and The Procession, Seville, 1912; Wassily Kandinsky painted Untitled (First Abstract Watercolor), 1910, Improvisation 21A, the Impression series ...

Tech Session(Cooking)

Today we had our first tech session for Term 4. Unfortunately Miss Heka wasn't available today because she had to be apart of the Hangi cause today was Tamaki College 25 anniversary. So we went with Mrs Tuipolotu. First off all we assembled at the back of the School cause that's where the 2nd cooking class is held. Once we got in we had to Wash our hands and sit down our chairs. After that Mrs Tuipolotu told us that we were going to make Choc Chip Cookies. We were very excited. Later on we had to put all of the ingredients inside a Bowl. Then we had to make our cookies and put them in the Oven. Once it was cooked we had to clean up everything that was dirty or misplaced. Then the 2nd period Bell went and we had to go back to school.

Most of our cookies were alright but some not so much.

Kiwi Can Session

Today we had a Kiwi Can Session as usual. First of all we had to line up outside of our classroom and had to be silent so we could go to Room 11, (Where Kiwi Can is Held). Once we entered Room 11, we had to greet Ms Tuia and Mr Numia. After that we had to talk about our new Topic and Theme. I forgot what the Topic was but the theme was (Respect). Next we went outside to play a game called Cone Plays. It was a fun game but it ended very quickly. When we came back to the Room 11 we had to talk about what is Respect and Values, Later on we went straight onto our activity. Our activity was Role Plays. We were split into 5 groups and had to come up with a role play about the subject they gave us. After our activity we had a quick round of GKQ(General Knowledge Questions). Then we said thank you for the session and headed back to Class.
