Technology

Last week on Wednesday, the year 7&8’s went to Moerewa for technology. The year 8’s did cooking (making lasagne) and the year 7’s did woodwork (testing and getting a feel of the machines). We were learning to get used into the old habits of the work place and making sure we made our lasagne healthy. I think I did well following instructions from the teacher but I think I should work on looking at the recipe more.

Our Kindness project

Yesterday, the year 7&8’s (the year 6’s were at Waitangi) where we spent most of the day experimenting. The main idea was to make people smile and having self care. Whaea Chrissy gave us a challenge, we had to smile and wave at people and then record how many people smile and wave back. We tried to make the teina in our school feel a sense of safety when they come up to us (before this experiment some of the little kids were intimidated by us). We scientifically proved that smiles are contagious. Try this experiment!
