Rugby League Session ;
On Wednesday at 10past10 our class went out to the courts to have a Rugby League session with Sio Siua Taukeiaho that plays in the 2011 Vodafone Junior Warriors Squad. He came to teach us some skills just like we did some skills at netball.
Sio Siua taught us a skill that we have to run in and out of the cones with a football. It was funny because we were versing other teams and I was in team 2 we got ONLY 2points because all the boys in the other team were coming first. When it was my turn to run I nearly tripped up on one of the little cones that was on the ground. And the teams that lost would have to do press ups. It was funny because I was in one of the teams.
The next thing we did was each person in the teams had to line up along all the cones that were in front of them. And the person in the front was the first one to run inside and out of the people that was standing by the cones and the person that was at the back had to run. When I ran and came back to the front I had to run again because everyone that versed me had a shot ball. It was a little bit scary because I thought the people that was running were going to stand on my foot.
The game we played was kicking tennis. Where we had to kick shoulder length and we had to try keep the ball inside of the square. When the other team kicked the ball some of the people in my team were running away from the ball and they got out because if the ball touched the ground the nearest person standing next to the ball is out. But the rest were catching the ball so they could make the other team lose. And we won the first game but the last game the other team won.
My favourite part of the game was when we had to run in and out of the people. And I am really glad that I participated in the game because usually I wouldn’t do anything but doing league skills is fun.

Science Roadshow
Thursday 9th the senior block walked down to the Science Roadshow down the road at Tamaki College to help us with our topic. All the seniors didn't just go at once, we all went at different times because Tamaki students were visiting it as well.
When we got to Tamaki College we were greeted by two people into the auditorium and were seated. The first performance we saw was about the flame. A lotto ticket was wet, a tall man dipped the lotto ticket into a chemical and then used the blow touch to dry it and it was all dry it was like it wasn't even wet.
After the performance our groups went and visited all the stations. My group split up and went in different directions. We didn't stay together, only Julie, Raven, Charm and I stayed together.
We looked at a display that when the light was off there was nothing there and when you switched the light on a skeleton appeared. My favourite display was this thing where you put your hands underneath it and it plays music.

Swimming ;
Every second term, year 7 & 8 go down to the Y.M.C.A pools for swimming lesson. All the seniors go down to the pools everyday for 30minutes. But the 2weeks that we had swimming I didn't attend any swimming lessons for the whole 2weeks as I didn’t feel like swimming. Every After lunch times we all head down to the pools altogether ready and lined up.
When we got to the pools all the swimmers had to get changed and jumped into the showers before getting into the pool. What I had to do was read a book because brought a note that had a good reason why I couldn’t go swimming and if I didn’t I would have to do lines like my friend Julie. When I finished reading my book I just chatted with all my friends that hadn’t gone swimming.
When everyone had finished swimming we all lined up and walked back to school. And worked on our topic.

Design process ;
In our class we are going through the design process to design a sign that all students can understand from New Entrance all the way up to Seniors. So we have been going through this process to help us. There are 6 steps in the design process Identify a need , Research , Generate Ideas , Find Solutions , Reflect , and Evaluate.
In our class we have been trying to identify a need and one of them were about littering. Because down by the field the there is always loads of rubbish. This is a problem because many students take their food and eat down there. Because we have lots of visitors its important to keep our school clean.
The next step to the design process is research. When we had researched we found images on google of signs of rubbish. The images that I found gave me some really good ideas for my sign.
Generating ideas for a sign is important because......
it part of the design process , and it can help you get heaps of creative and different ideas.
I think that its important because its important you get your message clear for all students form age 5 and up.
