Tamaki Science Roadshow

Tamaki Science Roadshow                              31/05/2016

Room 7 & Room 5 went to the Science Roadshow at Tamaki College. We were provided transport from our parents. My sister Rita came and she dropped off Albert, Patrick, and I to the Roadshow at Tamaki.

My favourite thing at the Roadshow was this Sugar Test. This was my favourite because it showed how many sugar is in sugared drinks. The drink I tested how much sugar was in, was a energy drink. I found out their was 29.3 teaspoons of sugar in a energy drink.

I think this was a really good trip to Tamaki College because we got go to a Science Roadshow for the 1st time.

Spark Headquarters

Spark Headquarters                              23/05/2016

Yesterday, Sunday 22 May, some of the Room 7 and Room 5 students went to the Spark Headquarters.  We went by bus.  It felt funny going on a school trip on a Sunday but was excited to go.  

We participated in different activities.  My favourite activity was 3D printer.

This was my favourite activity because we got to design what we wanted to create with the 3D printer. Sadly, my creations were not going to be printed because it will just take to long. I created a car using a program called Tinkcad.  I was very creative with my online construction.  I was disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to print, however, I now know how to access this program.  I realised how some toys are made, like the little toys at McDonald.  I might look for job like that in the future.
