Toady I hopped on the bus excited for Tech rotation. When we had arrived at Tech Mr Pineda was sadly absent but I was still happy because our teacher was Miss Kasipale. The task that was assigned to us was to draw our names and the width had to be approximately 60mm long which is equivalent to 6cm.
We were instructed to try and make each letter of our name different and unique. As I looked around at everyone else their drawings were nearly ready for coloring. Then I looked at mine and saw only three letters and some weird looking shapes. I felt really frustrated because I didn't know how to draw with detail so I remembered our mindfulness session. I stopped, took a deep breath then I carried on. At first I didn't think it was going to work but after I finished my drawing I actually had time to add some detail.
After the bell rang for first period a new reliever came in and took over Miss Kasipale. When I was adding my detail I was distracted by Mr Stag. I couldn't help laughing, he was just so hilarious. When I was about to color in my drawing the bell rang for the second period. We sadly had to go but I had fun for the first time in graphics.

Chocolate Cake
Today was the last day of Tech cooking for this year but we will be coming back next year.
We made chocolate cake with whip cream and Hershey's chocolate sauce.
First we began by mixing the dry and wet ingredients in one bowl then we mixed the batter until it was no longer dry. We had to put our cake batter into the cake tin and I was becoming anxious because I couldn't find it. But luckily Mrs Tuipulotu had some extras for us.
Afterwards, we put the cake tin in the oven to bake. I looked at the wooden spoon which had the cake batter - it smelt so delicious and I couldn't help myself, so I tasted the raw batter which was surprisingly not that bad.
Finally, I took the cake tin out of the oven. Mrs Tuipulotu added the toppings then I sliced it into segments before eating it.

Netball Practice!
Today after lunch the names of the students who were selected for netball had to go to the court to practice. Mrs Shortland had the list of names and their positions. The teams were years 7/8 against years 5/6. My position was reserve. As I was watching the teams play I noticed that even though the years 5/6 weren't the same height as some of the other team they managed to block the ball a few times.
When it was my turn to play I had to go as goal defense or GD for short. As I was playing my team managed to get 7 goals then I had to switch back to reserve. 5 minutes later I switched positions with the wing defense. It was only 1 minute and it was time to finish netball. It was a short time I still had fun.

Moana How Far I'll Go
Straight after interval all of the classrooms lined up at the multipurpose to get ready to perform their class item. As Room 6 entered the multipurpose room I was curious about what they selected to perform.
The first class to perform was Room 1 with a Samoan dance called the Sasa. Once their performance was finished the audience was kind enough to give them a round of applause. Next up was Room 5 performing Le Aute which is a Samoan song, I thought that they were all on time and on beat with the music.
Finally the performance that I was curious about was next and it was Room 6. When their teacher announced that they were going to model their Tongan and Samoan wear I was so excited because we've never had a catwalk before. At the end I looked at all the costumes and they were all beautiful. Up next was Room 7 with a dance routine to the song Picking Coconuts. I liked their dance because their song was catchy. My favourite was the dab. Room 9 sang a song called Little Birdy On A Tree the students both sang in English and Samoan.
They could have sang louder but apart from that they were awesome. Room 10 was next. They were singing E Otua acapella which I thought was great, but when they finished I was really nervous because we were next. When everyone started singing I managed to get rid of my nerves and just sang. I think we did a good job and I had lots of fun singing with all my classmates. I can't wait till we sing together again.
