Tech Wood Works

I have chosen to make a phone holder for myself. I think this is the best option for me because when I watch videos on my phone, I have no where to stand it up.

It will be used to hold my phone and to stand my phone up while it charges or while I'm watching videos.

For this project I will have to consider making it useful for me.

Hump Ridge Walks Wins Great Walk Title

The new walk won a special contest to select New Zealand's next great walk.

The 61km track in Southland will now be upgraded, transforming it from a two night to three nights experience. We think it will officially become a great walk in 2022.

The Department of Conservation began the hunt in 2017. They made this walk because it's to get people moving and to get fit. Would you go on this walk?

Sliver Ferns Netball Team Wins World Championships

Yesterday the Silver Ferns won a thrilling game to Australia, 52-51. Australia were the hot favourites going into the competition. They've had the World Champion since 2003. That means New Zealand now has won the title 5 times.

Australia fought back hard but New Zealand did enough to hang on and won both matches, England and Australia.

It was a really great, exciting and tough game, finally after along time New Zealand won the World Championships. Hopefully they can hold the Championships. What do you think?
   

Cleaning Up Tamiki Estuary

Yesterday my whole school and I went to Tamiki Estuary with Frazier and his team Hazel and Ashley. They worked at the zoo. They wanted us to clean our local river, Tamiki Estuary.

When we arrived there my friend Limiteti and I partnered up with a room 7, we partnered up with Lolo. We had a bucket to put rubbish in. We found plastic bags, chip bags and mostly shattered class every where.

When we finished picking up the rubbish we could found we washed our hands and had lunch, and played on the park. It was a fun afternoon and if you see rubbish flying around please pick it up and put it in the bin.
     

Wero Whitewater Park

On Friday my whole class and I went to the Wero Whitewater Park in Manukau. I was excited to go but nervous at the same time.

When we arrived there the Receptionist took us into a room to watch two films of Wero Whitewater Park. One about why they made the wate
r park and the last about safety. Then we put the wet suits and shoes on. Everyone was struggling to put them on. When we finished putting them on we put life jackets on and a helmets.

We met our instructors Ethan, Chris and Jaja. We had to get into three groups. First we had to get use to the water and the strong currents before going on the boats. We went on the boats and we could stand up so we did. My favourite bit of the trip was jumping in to the strong currents and swimming.

After all it was a really fun day and I hope we could go next year.

Wood Works

Today I went to tech and I did Wood work.

First we had to draw eight designs of what you wanted to do with at least one or two joints in it. I drew my eight designs and then I picked the design I wanted to do. I picked a phone holder.

It was fun at tech today. Next week I will get started and finish it.

Super Rugby

Last week some terms had one last chance to get into the playoffs. First it started off between the Bulls and the Highlanders coming in as a draw, 24-24.

Then it was the Blues and the Reds. The Blues lost by one point, 29-28. After that it was the Crusaders and the Reds. Crusaders taking out the Reds with a thrilling score to 66-0.

There's a lot more teams but who do you think will make the top eight?
