Rockets - TC Tech

 Today was fun.

Year 7s were making paper rockets with Mr. Dunn and Miss. Ferguson. We were split into 5 groups. Before we started creating we watched a video from Rocket Lab and Space Ex. They were all fun videos and mostly interesting.

In my group was Pitara, Chase, Ms. Atuahiva and I. I started off with the body of the rocket and Chase created the tip of the rocket and the parachute. Chase and I put all of the pieces together and BAM! we created a masterpiece.

After all the beautiful creations were done, we gave the rockets to Mr. Dunn so he can place the fire proof tissues in and the engine of the rockets. Soon after that we found ourselves outside shooting our rockets high up in the sky. My groups rocket went up the highest. Our hard work payed off well. The name for our rocket was Little Lia.

Thank you Mr. Dunn and Miss. Ferguson. We enjoyed it so much.

Sina and the Eel

 Once upon a time, way back in the days on an island named Savai´i, lived a beautiful young girl named Sina. On the island, Sina befriended and eel. Every evening, under the moonlight, they would swim and talk. He told Sina of how he was once a prince. He grew larger and more demanding over Sina´s love. At this time Sina was frightened by him. So she ran to relatives in a nearby village.

She would make excuses just to get away but that wouldn't keep him away from Sina, sometimes he would follow her or come up to appear at the surface of the water. She eventually told her uncle and cousin. Soon her cousin was sent to kill the eel. He sliced and sliced his head off his body. R.I.P Prince Eel.

Sina cried and with his last breath, he asked Sina to bury his head for remembrance. Soon after, his head will sprout a tree that would bear fruit with refreshing nectar. The eels face will be on the fruit, 2 eyes 1 mouth. Each time Sina drinks from the fruit she would be in fact kissing the eel.

And that's the story of Sina and the Eel.

The End.

Poem - Body Love/Shame

Your are body image bully,

A corrupt cop without a bandage

Who enjoys policing curvy women's bodies.

Your are quick to falsely accuse

Curvy women of being obese

Because they match your description of unhealthy

Who gave you the right

To shame others for their image

Not knowing what they're going through

I´ve witness the way you´ve tease

Full-figured women

With your words,

And attempt to hand-cuffed their self-esteem

You should be convicted

Of body image abuse

Curves are not a crime,

Being full-figured is not a felony,

And self love is not against the law.

Love yourself and be who you are.

Don´t be too quick to judge.

Ready Sets Grow!

 

Here are two vegetables.

And here are ways to grow them.

Sweetcorn and lettuce.

Arabic discussion with Mrs. Ayub

 Today Mrs. Ayub taught us about her religion. Mrs. Ayub is Kiwi-Paki but she is most with her Paki side.

We learnt a lot of things like; How they pray, Who and what they believe in. (As-Salam-Alaikum).

Learning about her religion was so interesting. They believe in God which they call Allah. 
They also believe in Heaven and Hell.
They have different ways praying.

I also learnt about the Arabic Alphabet. We had a lot of discussions with Mrs. Ayub.
Thank you Mrs. Ayub for teaching us about your religion.
