Don't Forget The Cherry On Top! (Technicraft #4)

The final dish, was, unique...

I mean the dish was sausages, cut into halves, while topping some cheese with side-cut tomatoes to finish it off, oh and it doesn't stop there. We baked some fries as the sides of this "unique" dish that Mrs Tuipolotu told us to cook.

So it was "interesting" to make this dish, our final one. 

Thank You Soldiers, May You Rest In Peace.

This is not ANZAC day, It's Armistice Day, its the day when The Germans and The Allies ended WW1. My group made a slide of what Armistice Day is about.

I would also like to thank all those soldiers who sacrificed their lives just to let all of us live in this world. So thank you again.

Phones Off, Eyes On! The 11th Festival Is About To Begin!

There was lots of laughter, positive emotions like cheering for the presenters, and just even more laughter.

In total 13 schools were involved (Including Ruapotaka) in the Manaiakalani Film Festival. Every school made movies so it took a big chomp of our school time! The juniors in our school were so overjoyed in the movie so that some of them couldn't sit still!

I'd say all of the 13 schools tried their best to not entertain us, but to tell us countless important messages.

Here is my class film.

Technicraft #2 (Food Technology)

Fish Pie, there are two alternative versions, with hard boiled eggs, or mashed potatoes. Today we made it with:

• Mashed Potatoes (inside a baking tin)
• Tuna, mayonnaise and mushroom cream mixed together.
• And some grated cheese.

So we put the mashed potatoes at the bottom of baking tin, we then scooped the tuna, mayo and mushroom cream and put it on top of the potatoes with an addition of grated cheese. 

Please Remain Silent, Tests Are About To Commence.....

Tests, one of the most anxiety breaking things in school. Sure it might give us a better future but, it's so time consuming! I mean, 45 mins per STAR and PAT tests, seriously.

It does give us peace and quiet that you've been thirsty for but, its like your in a library except your working.

It's still great how they give us tests which will exercise our brain. Not only does it show us that we should be better than before, it shows you that with practice comes perfection.

Welcome Everyone, To Term 4!

We all had a great two weeks but unfortunately, we have School again! Boo. Oh, was I supposed to be happy? Oh okay.

This term we're going to have multiple assessments, also with some special events that happen twice a year in the Manakalani community, with an addition of heart-breaking moment at the end of the year.

So to all of those year 8's that only have one more term before they go to college, be BTB! And make most of your time with your friends, teachers or anyone else! Because it might be the last time you talk to them.

Happiness Is The Last Day Of School... Just Being Honest.

As you can see by the title, I am relieved  to no longer be in school. Though it will be very depressing that I won't be hanging out with my friends. Instead I will be able to catch up on some fantasy writing that I've missed out since the weekend.

I will see you next term! Cheerio!  

I Really Wonder Why Mrs Tuipolotu Doesn't Have A Job As A Cook....

Even though you only taught us two times, I'd like to thank you for saving our lives. I mean how else are we going to survive without food and water...

When we were making our Quiche I kept on getting distracted by my mates so much that I forgot that I was on "Oven duty." Yes! 

It took me 3 whole minutes to try and eat it. It was bitter when I ate it. I was so irresponsible like how I didn't listen to Mrs Tuipolotu that I didn't even do anything properly! I feel sorry for my buddy, Leanah.  

They Grow Up So Fast!

All of those year 8's might be thinking, "College must be fun!" Fun fact! It ain't. Sorry to let you all down but sometimes you have to know the dreadful, consequential, truth. Though it was still fun, but it was very tiresome. So if you all have lots of Preschool years to go, finish well! Now there goes my teacher self. The reason why you might be seeing lots of college students tired is because they have, countless classes to go and lots of P.E. Okay, looks like I'm done standing up for the tired College students,

Congrats! And Good Luck! *You're Going To Need It For Speeches😈*

To my parents who might be reading this, please don't be disappointed. I mean, I get it. I need to try harder next time, but in this School we are learning to be BTB (Better than before). Anyways, as you can see by the title of this blog post, We are all congratulating those students who made it to the poetry finals. *Whole school claps.* Yes, Yes, keep clapping for m- oh wait, I forgot..... I didn't make it to the finals.

But serio
usly, congrats again to those students who made it! In my opinion I liked most of the juniors who recited their poems, the reason why I said most was because some of the juniors who recited their poem I said in my head, "Do you know how to speak english?" Jokes, the only time I would make fun of people would be myself *Henry sheds some tears*

BUT, to be honest, I thought all of them did a good job and I wish all of you good luck towards the speech finals.
