Cars have changed a lot over the past 100 years because they are bigger, better, stronger and faster.

Some of the cars during the 1880’s had three wheels, 2.5 horsepower, no roof and it looked more like a horse carriage.

Nowadays, cars are faster because their engine has more power than older cars and the style of cars has also changed a lot. For instance, they used to have three wheels but now they have four wheels.

The thing that stands out for me inside cars in the present, are how much technology they’ve fitted inside them, there are things like GPS’s (a device that tells you where to go), T.V’s and loads more.

My Highlights About Term 1

LOOKING BACK-LOOKING FORWARD
One of my high lights during last term was the year 7 and 8 camp because we all had a blast and we really enjoyed it. My favourite part of camp was when my group (Thinkerz) won because of our outstanding performance during swimming sports, we managed to score over 2000 points from just swimming.

Another high light for me was technology at Tamaki College because we were learning about graphics and art is one of my favourite things to do at school. We learnt how to shade things and make them look 3-D. Our task was to create our own cartoon character a title and a something to hold our food in.

I choose the ice cream on a cone because I thought that is will be the easiest thing to make. My title for the ice cream was ‘Creamylicous’ and my character was a ice cream on a cone.

I really enjoyed last term and I wonder how this term will top it.

Bin It

This is a short animation about the korero Bin It. We had to make a DLO (digital,learning,object) about one of the korero's here at Pt England School and I chose the korero Bin It. I hope you enjoy my very first animation for this year.

My Letter Home

Dear Nana,
How are you? Hope you are well. I really enjoy school because in my class are most of my friends. I especially like it now since we are have our own netbooks.

The thing that has got my interest in class mostly is how we can use our netbooks instead of our exercise books. I think that it makes my work look better and more interesting, it also helps me learn better because I am having fun as I am learning.

The First Day At Camp

Before camp. 7/03/11
We are having a team 5 camp next week and all of us are really feeling excited and looking forward to this. This is the first time in Pt England history that there is going to be a year seven and eight camp. Yesterday we all got put into our groups, Racheal and I are the captains of the wonderful group, ‘The Thinkerz ‘. I hope that I get along really well with my team mates during this experience at camp and I know that there going to be some hard times but I know that we’ll do really well about any situation.

At the end of camp Ms Tito and Mrs Nua announced the winners for camp and they said that our group, the Thinkerz had won because most of our people went swimming to get points for our team.

After camp. 16/03/11
I think that this years camp was amazing and I hope that we can do another camp like that again. I really enjoyed camp because the team that I was working with didn’t really work together that much in the beginning and during the last bit of camp we were working really well because we knew each other better.

The first day of the year at Tamaki College.

The second Monday of this year was the day what most students like myself was waiting for, Technology. As Mrs Nua told us what she expected us to do when we go, I wasn’t sure witch group I was in so I was starting to panic because everyone was moving and I was the only one that didn't have anywhere to go. Luckully Charm saw my name on the same group what he was in and told me to get in line. So walking on the foot path with relieve I was telling Charm does he know what group we are going to and he answered no we'll get told when we arrive at Tamaki.

At Tamaki the area of learning that I am doing this term is 'graphics'. I was really excited when I heard that we were in amazing class of graphics with Ms furgusson because one of my favourite subjects is art and graphic is got to do with art. The first part of our session was quite grumpy with our teacher because we were to noisy but as the time grew longer we started to get along and had a great time.

I really enjoyed my time at Tamaki College as the second year that we went and I hope that we learn a lot from this experience at Tamaki college.
