Ketura- Technology

In the past few Monday's, we went to technology and we worked on making our charters for our juice boxes. The character that I made was a grape. It took time for me to make this because I had to glue the pieces together and wait till it dries.  Next, the I would like to do shirt printing.

Shanelle- Technology: Key Hangar

I created this key hanger in wood work at Tamaki College. I made this for my mum so that she can hang her keys or jewelry on it.

Andrea- Takeaway Box

During technology, my teacher (Mr. Pineda), taught us all about takeaway boxes. We've done so many activities to help create this masterpiece. I had plenty of fun creating this takeaway box.

At technology, I visited a site that had drawing tools and effects on it, which is Sumo Paint. It was really hard to draw my fruit from the paper to the internet. The easy part was knowing where all the tools were, because I've used this earlier this year.

Walt: draw a brand of a juice.

In technology I was drawing a fruit. I drew a peach as my juice. The name of my juice brand was Iced Tea Peach. I used the site called sumo paint to create my peach drink. I think this was a good drawing of my picture. I like how I used colours that are peachy colours.

Yasmin - Food Technology

Today at food tech we cooked fried rice. First we had to fry an egg and we had to scramble it up. Then we had to fry the vegetables with the meat. After that we had to add the rice and soy sauce. Then we are finished. It wasn’t that hard.I want to learn how to bake cupcakes next.

Hard materials is so exciting by Matthew

On most Mondays the year seven students from room 11 and room 12 go to technology after morning tea. We go on a bus. It is at Tamaki College. Our teacher is Mr Grundy. Mr Grundy handed out some paper to everyone We were in a workshop. We used a saw to cut the wood. A try square is what we used to make our joints straight. We used a bench vice  to clamp the wood in place before cutting it with a saw.  Four people sit at each bench. Firstly, we have to plan our housing joint. Secondly, choose your best joint and draw it big on a big piece of paper. Thirdly, make your joint.


Hard materials is so exciting. I am making a rubbish truck. The part that I enjoyed the most was designing the five ideas.

Accurate Measurements by Mary

This week in technology we are learning how to construct a joint. Every Monday mornings the year 7 students go to Tamaki College. We go by bus to Tamaki College.

The first process was planning. I found the planning very easy because all we had to do was think of what you are going to make. I drew my five ideas. All the measurements has to be accurate. If you make a mistake your project will be ruined.

The second process was to learn the safety rules. The first and most important rule is don’t fiddle because if you fiddle you’re not going to finish your work or pay attention to the teacher. The next rule was stools in. If your stool is not in Mr. Grundy will take the stool away from you and you would have to stand up for the whole lesson. The final rule is closed shoes. If you don’t have closed shoes you could get hurt when using tools and it won’t be Mr Grundy’s fault it would be your fault because you didn’t follow the rules. Following the rules is really important because if you don’t you're going to get yourself hurt.


I enjoy technology because we get to do lots of fun stuff and my classmates enjoy it, too. I think we should stay at hard materials because it just so much fun and the things we make we get to keep.
