The Most Exciting Tech Project

Today for tech we started the main project. Mr Niah told us that to choose our favourite cartoon character and write a paragraph why we chose it.


When we finished it he gave us two pieces of wood one larger than the other. Mr Niah said to draw the cartoon character on the small piece for practice before the big piece. My cartoon character was tricky since the claws was hard to cut. I started to use the file to file my one down and use sandpaper to make it smooth. Mr Niah said to fold the sandpaper to make the claws a bit sharp.


Once I finished I went to the poker work machine which burns the wood to make my drawing outline stand out. We ran out of time and I was a bit disappointed because I was just half way and it was so exciting.


I can’t wait for next Thursday and continue my cartoon character and finish it.

My Easter Holiday


On Easter Sunday my family and I did something different this year, instead of going for trip around New Zealand like we usually do we instead went to St Patrick and St Joseph's Cathedral for mass.


After the readings the priest talked about what happens at Easter and what it means to us and how it affects our way of thinking of God. We prayed and sang hymns and when we finished we were 30 minutes earlier than usual.


Since all the shops was closed we went to the beach. We had a little dip in the water and bought food and we thanked God for sending Jesus to save us and for the food. We had lots of fun at the beach and then it was time to go home.


We were tired by the time we reached home. I hope we do something more special next year.
