Additives
Room 1 students have been doing food work in topic. One of the things that they had to do was about additives.
We got given a big bag of full of food that was in packets. We had to find all the numbers in the ingredients list. When we had found all the numbers we had a sheet and it told us what all the numbers were.
Into a table we had to put the number, what it was and what the number was.

Kapa Haka
Room 1 and 2 students have chosen to do Kapa Haka this term to preform at the end of year prize giving.
We warm up before every lesson by the doing Kumara Kumara, we start off doing it in a quiet voice and we gradually get louder and louder until we hold it and then we go back down again.
We then start off by doing a song for everyone in the group and then a song for the girls and then the boys do the Haka, It is pretty much the same as the All Blacks but there are a few different words.

In the Footsteps of an Explorer!!!!
Room 1 students have been doing a series of projects to do with an explorer, this has been called “In the Footsteps of an Explorer”.
One of the projects we did was to combine information from a biography we wrote last term and information we found out about how we would do the same expedition today. Some ideas we got to write this essay were
• From NZ to the start of the expedition.
• Equipment: clothing, navigation, weapons, tools anything else…?
• Form of transport, compare speed, comfort…?
• How have the countries/ objective/destination changed…?
Other information.
Once we had found all the information we needed we set off writing. We had an open range of choices on how to write this essay as long as we had the basics…
Summary of the original expedition, mainly when, who and the objective.
Compare the form of transport, clothing and other equipment.
Lastly we had to have a conclusion.
Lots of people did more than this, like some people wrote them actually doing the expedition and saying the differences as they went through, other people wrote in the first person, writing that they were doing the expedition after their explorer had, after this they wrote titles like Countries or Terrain etc.. writing the expedition differences for each title.

Visual Representation
Late last term Room 1 started on a visual representation of an explorer that they choose, we worked on different activities through out the term to do with that explorer. We also did things like biographies and posters to advertise the explorer’s expedition. They had to be set in the time of the explorers expeditions and needed to be attractive so that they catch the readers attention, colourful and bright and have pictures of the explorer things like their boats and crew.
The visual representation was really fun, there were basically no rules, you could do it in whatever form of art you wanted, some people took a picture of where their explorer explored and recreated the picture by painting it in their own style, some people used different textures to create effect and some people made two different pictures, one of what everyone thought the place looked like and one of what it ended up actually looking like, there was a huge difference. Also, a lot of people made great models about what their explorer’s ship looked like, they were all really great and we all enjoyed doing it!

MANUAL !
At manual we are making some chopping boards.
These chopping boards are helping us to develop new skills and being able to use machines like the poker machine, saws, g clamps, squares, vertical sander, and lots more.
The g clamps are used for getting wood in to a position where it can’t move everywhere when you are sawing on it.
The type of wood that we are using is white pine. The type of wood that we are using is very soft and smooth. Sometimes I do mistakes and break stuff like the handsaw and other stuff.
