Our New Rotaion

At tech we were rotated to another class which was wood work.The first thing Mr Grundy said before we went in the class was, "This is a dangerous class and we have to act two years older than we are."

We had to sit on a stool and listen to our teacher explain what we were dealing with. It was glass. So he showed us what to not do and what to do. The one thing you should not do is to glide your finger across the side of the glass that you have just cut a minute ago. You'll cut your hand and you  will start bleeding and there will be a big mess.

We  decorated twelve different designs on a piece of paper. We had to finish all the designs before moving on to making our glass project.

Orienteering

Yesterday was a terrific day for orienteering. Even though the weather didn't turn out as I expected I still enjoyed it anyway. Once I collected my piece of paper and map I set off looking for controls. It was so tiring for me because I was running from one control to another. As I was running I felt a slight bit of chill so that slowed me down. As soon as I finished I casually made my way to Mr Leon and waited for the rest of my class mates to finish their courses.

Our Pasifika Study Performance

Today at our special assembly every class performed an item based on Tonga and Samoa. Every class had different performances. Room 1 and 4 performed a traditional Samoan dance called a 'Sāsā'. Followed by Room 5 who presented a song called 'Le Aute'. The most interesting performance was Room 6's. They performed a Catwalk where the students were partnered with each other into girl with a boy. Some of the girls were wearing a puletaha(Tongan), some were wearing a puleetasi(Samoan). The boys were wearing a sote and a tupenu tide with a gafa. 

We sang a song called 'How Far I'll Go' from the movie Moana. I was so nerves that I started to stare at the floor throughout the whole song. I enjoyed every bit from the beginning to the end.
