Tamaki Tech

Walking down to Tamaki College in the hot sun every Thursday morning. Room 20, 21 and half of room 22 gather in the street. We lined up into our tech group of Food technology, Hard materials and Graphics.

Mr Pineda is the graphics teacher, Mr Grundy is the hard materials teacher and Ms Heka is the food tech teacher. Last year our rotation were Food, Hard materials, and Science.

This term I’m in Mr Pineda’s class which is graphics.  He teaches us the art of drawing. He showed us a book that he had drawn some pictures in. We all looked and I was amazed at what I saw.

The first week we went to tech. Our first activity was to draw our first  and last name. The next week we had to create a poster about  New zealand’s culture.

I am looking forward to my time at tech. Tech is great it shows you what I could join when I go to College. I really enjoy drawing and I can’t wait for the other rotations.  Thursdays are my favorite days of the week!

FiaFia Assembly

Teachers greeted with lei’s from Osanna. While all the kids sat down. Thinking to myself  “Why didn’t I get one” but then I thought then everyone else would want one.


Far out  when Uili,Henry and Hosannah started singing, Man they were good. They could be stars one day. Like Justin Timberlake or Flo Rida. Ms M came out and told the kids to click their fingers while they were still singing but we clapped, I don’t know why but we did.


It all went quiet and then out of nowhere Kingston came out with a conch shell. He took a  big breath and blowed into the conch shell. He tried but it was quiet and  so some people laughed. Blowing the conch multiple times it turned out the same.


Gabriel came out all dressed up in a piupiu, holding a taiaha .Then Rita came out in a traditional ie tonga, which is a tongan mat. While she was dancing, like a mythical creature the dragon came out walking around the stage.


Fiafia is sure to be fun. Watching those acts was marvelous. I’m not sure what I should join but I’m sure I’ll find something.
