Final Design

This week in woodwork I made a final decision of what I wanted to make. I would've made the M&M dispenser but because Mr Grundy told me that not many people have finished making the dispenser, I decided to go with something more easier and less advanced.  Since I have never made woodwork, I am going start off by making a box where I can hide my accessories and special things. I was going to make a box like this but mine has legs and not a flat bottom.

First Week In Woodwork

Our first day in woodwork with Mr Grundy was quite... interesting. He showed us some of the woodwork other students made while they were in his class and set a few simple rules, and not to forget he showed us how angry he gets when people interrupt him but it looked quite funny.

On a piece of paper we had to draw 8 different ideas we could make but had to pick only one. I really want to make the M&M Dispenser but it will take me a long time unless I work really hard each week.  This is an image of what I am trying to make, it will kind of look like this but more simple.

Netballl 2019!

Last week Wednesday some of the year 7 and 8 students went to the inter-school netball. It was held in the Auckland Netball Center.

Our first game was at 10:20 against St Pius. After that we then had some other games to play and a few short breaks. The position I played was Goal Keep but I played Goal Shoot once for the second half. Overall we ended up coming 13th out of 20 schools but we all played really well. We played 6 games, lost 3 drew 1 and won 2 games. My teammates were Nataaliyah, Madisyn, Kate, Konzay, Leaaepeni, Tristan, Leanah, Mary-Ruth and Kotipi.

Funding For Hamilton To Auckland Rail Service

A funding service has been given for the rail from Auckland to Hamilton. They will launch the funding next year but they have been approved $92 million for it.

The transporter minister announced this on Friday saying "most people like to travel between these two cities". Hamilton to Papakura will be where the train will run. Once reaching Papakura they will have to use the Auckland public transports.

The final mission is to get the train to go all the way to Britomart.

More Painting

This week at tech I had the chance to do more painting on my hearts. I had to apply another coat so the colour would pop out more. I spent about 15-20 minutes second coating and then I was finally done. This is how my hearts look but the red is lighter and the blue is more dark.

After my painting session Miss Ferguson made a wooden 35 x 35 square and then a platform for my shape to go in. I had to sand the wood so the sides would get smoother then I added some glue, stuck the platform and the part where the pieces go in together and left it to dry. You will see on the side is an example of how it looks. Next week I need to paint the platform and I'll be done.

New Sculpture In Wellington

Wellington has come out with a new sculpture. The sculpture has been made five meters tall.

The creation was made by the artist Ronnie van Hout. Quasi is what he decided to name the sculpture, the original piece was first on top of the Christchurch Art Gallery but has now been moved to Wellington's Gallery in the city.

Quite an amount of the people dislike it but some other people seem to like the new icon.

New Zealand's Fittest City

Wellington has been crowned for being the fittest city in all of New Zealand. They have been crowned because they don't use public transport as much as the other cities in the country.

Some researchers from Otago University looked at the cities in terms of the air pollution and how much public transport they have been using.

Smith says that all cities should begin walking and cycling more as vehicles are one of the main reasons why the air is polluting.

It is a much healthier choice for us all, as we can help save our planet but also be able to exercise and keep active at the same time.
