If you didn't know, New Zealand is currently holds the unfortunate ranking as Number 1 from OCED countries. Despite not being there, My class participated in the event and represented Tamaki College in a good way.However, I did my part by talking about what White Ribbon is by putting up posters but also talking to students about its cause.

Food Tech, is currently our last rotation for Tech before we become(unofficially) Year 11 students. For our double period. We created Pizza. More specifically, a Hawaiian pizza. This was delicious as we substituted our flour dough for a pita bread base. It was delicious!

Maths

Since the beginning of term, we have been focusing on Linear applications. Linear applications are connected to graphs and patterns. To focus on this topic, we've been using Education Perfect as it is a more easier method of learning as it is fun. An exemplar of our work is an power point which explained the gradient answer ( y=mx + c)

Tamaki College Reading Programme

Food Tech

We are now in our final tech rotation of the year ( Obviously, this year has gone fast or I haven't posted in a minute), We  created Tuna salad. Now, it was fun creating it but eating it with onions is not really part of my appetite but neither less, it was fun eating it.

The effects of Tobacco to your Hauora

In health, we have been mainly focusing about how Tobacco effects your hauora( Physical,Spiritual,Mental/Emotional and Social Well-Being). Smoking damages our lungs and makes it temporarily damaged. Our lungs main function to breathe in and out oxygen but also provide oxygen to our muscles. It also helps filter out dust.

Accenture Trip

First official blogpost of 2018, so let's get right into it...

Today( Or the 7th of March whenever you are reading this), a group of Tamaki College students and teachers headed into the city to attend a special workshop led by the Accenture team. 

At first, I  was shocked by how caring everyone were but also how different everyone was. I was also intrigued because of Timoti( an employee at Accenture) because he was currently busy in Australia because of a conference, and he took time out of his day to dial in and video call us. 

I was stunned because of the technology used. I felt like I was at home during the entire trip. Reason being that everyone (The Accenture team and TC group) were engaged in the activities and also conversations. We played two games (which had their own level of difficulty), Counter hack and Code combat (I focused on Code Combat which to me, was an interesting game).

The main hub we stayed in for most of the time was the Atutahi and the VR area( Where we experimented with new stuff) was the Mclaren room. The Staff introduced an Idea of IT and what careers can be benefitting towards you. 

Overall, I would like to thank Karl, Mark, Dimple, Sid, Blea, Emma and Dan for a wonderful time.
