Technicraft at Tamaki College Term 2

 The students get to experience technology in Food, Control, Science and Hard materials at Tamaki College

The groups have rotated and the students get to join a new class. In Food tech the students get to make delicious food and practice their food preparation skills. Dicing, grating, frying and mashing skills on display when you enter. Working with food safely is a valuable skill everyone will need in their life. And of course the students enjoy their end products. Yum!

In Science, the students have been exploring what science looks like in different aspect. The science behind paper planes and inside a flower using their observation and measurement skills.

For hard materials, they are working with wood and using one piece of wood they need to measure and create a product. At the moment they are working on housing joints to secure their creations.

In control, they understand file and folder management on their chromebooks and are now looking at electrical components so far they have looked at resistor colour coding. 

Dance, dance, dance

 The school has been focusing on the Dance curriculum this term and we have a lovely team from Footsteps to come in and show us how its done. So far the students have learnt about the following dance elements: Shape, Body awareness and relationships. It is lots of fun, and for some it is coming out of our comfort zones.

Room 6/7 are Moviestars!

Room 6 and Room 7 have created an exciting movie for our Manaiakalani film festival. We are a team of year 3/4 and 7/8 students who usually buddy up for reading and thought this would be another great way to continue our learning together.

We had so much fun, learning how to hold a camera, take sequenced shots as well as looking forward and sideways towards the camera. We had a few challenges around sound and props, but loved making it anyway.

Its called "Breaking News Covid Level 3"
