Sky City Breaks Out Into Flames

A few days ago a major fire hit Auckland's Sky City.

Around 1 pm large flames started burning at the top of the convention centre. It caused the fire to spread from the seventh floor passing it down to the sixth. It has been very difficult for the firefighters to get inside the building and go all the way to the top.

St John has said that one person has been taken to Auckland City Hospital in a very serious condition. This has made all everybody evacuate the entire area making people leave the casino, hotels, restaurants and the offices.

Today at tech I was chizzling out my pieces. I also had to check to see if my piece would fit but it ended up being to small. Luckily Mr Grundy could fix it by trimming the side and making it a tiny bit larger. I now need to just saw and chizzle out the joint from the other piece of wood and get myself a lid.

Local Elections Take Place Around New Zealand

Different regions in New Zealand have completed voting for the Body Elections of 2019. This means the people of Aotearoa have to vote for their new mayor, city councillors and also the district health board.

The mayor for Auckland still is Phil Golf as he beat his challenger. Wellingtons mayor will be Andy Foster and Sir Tim Shadbolt Invercargill's mayor for the ninth time. Dunedin's mayor is 35 year old Aaron Hawkins and Fisher Wang was elected into Rotorua Lakes Council, as the youngest person to be ever voted into Government.

Sawing

This week I needed to saw my piece of wood and mark my joint. After sawing it in half I just straightened the sides out so they were even. I completed the two legs and the bottom piece of my box. Mr Grundy then made a mark for where my joint would be so again I had to saw it up to his mark and that is where my joint would go in. When I go back I will have to chisel it out carefully so that I don't make a big mistake. Sawing is quite challenging when you first try it but then you get used to it the more you do it over and over.

All Blacks Beat Canada
