Wood Tech


Wondering what my new technology experience would be like, I was not only beginning a new tech class, but also a new term. My break was officially over, and I was into my first day back at school. My talented teacher for wood work is Mr Grundy. He can make so many cool things, such as trains, plane’s, trucks, and he can even make them for dolls. Mr Grundy gave us a folder to work in. We followed the dotted lines in the book, ending up with the same things but in a different way. Mr Grundy was showing us how to use a saw, I said," what is that black thing at the end?" He said, "It is a thing that stops it from chopping your toes off if your holding it the wrong way." “OH” After a while, Mr Grundy showed us his sledge hammer he made. It was pretty impressive! He also showed us a sharp thing called a chisel which is so sharp, that if you slide it across a piece of paper it can slice it in half, depending on which way you hold it. You hold the handle and bang it with your other hand. Hope you liked my writing, look out for some more new posts!

The one an only terrifying earthquake in Christchurch?


While I was screaming during the Earthquake suddenly thinking I’m going to die, I was seeing every single house in the district collapsing. I was so terrified that the building, was going to collapse. So I slid under a steel table waiting for it to happen. Suddenly I heard every thing is ok, as I came out from under the table “BANG” “BANG” “BANG”I screamed my lung out still waiting for it to stop, but unfortunately it did’nt until 1 minute and 25 seconds. I thought it was only me seeing dead people landing right in front of me,I started cry wondering about my family and all the people that were dead. I wished that this was not happening, just as I was climbing out, I was trying to help a man. He was stuck under a heavy piece of wood. It was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me, in my life and I hope it never happens again.

2011 Polyfest

This is the Tamaki College Kapa haka group. This photo was taken at the 2011 Polyfest. Their performance took it out, I know that because I was there and they came first in the whole thing. If you click on this link it will take you to the website and thats where I got this picture.
The last girl on the left is my cousin and she is also the Kaia of the group along with Lorenz.
As they started sing and doing the actions the crowed started cheering as the group got louder and louder the crowed could barley think, I know that because I was in the crowed. It was the best performance I had ever seen.

Cool Kiwis


Would you call a Kiwi beautiful? I know I wouldn’t. Its plumage is dark and dull and stiff like dog hair. The Kiwi feathers is not like other birds. The most ridiculous thing about it is it’s bill, it can grow up to 20cm long.


Did you know Kiwi’s are fast? They have really strong, powerful leg, that can out run a human. They use their legs to fight other predators like weasels, stoats, cats, rats, ferrets and also dogs.

Kiwis use their strong leg to dig up a burrow, which is used to lay their eggs in. Some times they build it in a log or under the roots of a big tree. Each of the burrows are about three metres long.


And there you have it how can you possibly resit a flightless,

ridiculous, wrinkled winged, chicken sized, burrow building species.

Cross Country Race


Oh my gosh I cant believe it, Cross Country is on today. I have been hoping this day wouldn't come but here it is, I keep saying to myself why, why does it have to be today.

Oh no, standing there while biting my nails I stepped up to the start line. I hate to say it but I feel like screaming and spewing all at the same time. "BANG" everyone ran, this is my worst nightmare ever because I'm to afraid I will come last.

Oh no, this isn't good I think I'm going to be sick and to make it worse there's a big muddy patch ahead. As I make my way past Ms Glaze trying to take a breath, I suddenly felt gooey mud between my toes. I didn't care I just kept running.

I finally make my way to the finish line, WOW! I can't believe it,I did it, I actually ran that big long race with no stich at all, I am so proud of myself.

Even though I have a aching back, sore legs, and a felling of a broken ankle I feel like I came first.
