Tamaki College Year 8 Day : Final Period : Period 6

For the last period , we were treated to some P.E by tamaki college's Physical education teacher . We had to walk there because the P.E centre was somewhere else . But it was still inside the school . We met our P.E teacher . I forgot his name though . Anyways , The game we played was apparently Samoan Softball . Just like softball but there's one thing . You don't use a bat because you use your hand to hit the ball but luckily , It wasn't an actual softball it was just rubber ball so it didn't hurt hitting it . We sat on the bench so some people could be given bibs . I was one of the people given bibs . Meanwhile , there was alot of people on the non-bib team . Either way , me and my team went their hardest to beat the non-bib team and it was a great game for everyone I bet . Though I wish EVERYONE had contributed . My team had a pretty good record for a small amount of people . Say about.... 6 or 7 people ?  maybe 8? even with help from one of the tamaki college students. Either way , we still won the game even though Vuni's team had more players , we beat them in both running and tagging people . The final score was 15 - 12

My Team Beat them by 15 .

Tamaki College Year 8 Day : Period 4 & 5

After Period 2 and 3 , Came our 4th period which was lunch time . In that time , We got to have subway for lunch time which for me , was a first because I've never had subway before . Until now . Even though it had vegetables I didn't really care unless it had meat so I ate it anyways with the vegetables . For lunch time , We either got to play basketball or rugby .Or stay inside . I stayed outside for a little with Vuni but then we both went outside to enjoy ourselves with the others by playing master which was a basketball game . We enjoyed ourselves for some time until lunch time ended and it was time for us to move onto our next period which was period 5 . For period 5 it was a subject we would probably learn about in college next year which was english . It wasn't a whole " write us a 5 page essay " thing it was just something to get us ready for what it was going to be like next year . But yet again , It was something that was sort of easy . We had to memorise words and write down as much was we remembered . I managed to remember all of them and finish along with 3 other people . Maybe 4 . The next task for these words , was to write down the visual meaning . Writing down what we think it means .It was because we had to prepare ourselves for a story we had to describe the words . At the End Kenneth had the better images to describe his story.

Tamaki College Year 8 Day Reflection : Period 2 & 3

Last Thursday , After Period 1 which was maths , We moved into the next classroom which was science . There was 6 periods so we were going to spend the whole day there and walk home from there . I forgot the teacher's name but he taught some things that we didn't know about science and how science was fun not so serious . He taught us what Safety In Science meant and how it goes around in Tamaki College . We were introduced to our teacher and his helper . While he was doing that , A short science experiment was made . One where something overflows and shoots out of its container but it didn't go all over the place because there wasn't much acid added into the container for it to be spraying all over the place . It only spilled a little over the container which was a giant test tube . We all started laughing because of that and then moved onto what we were going to be talking about . How science works . Our teacher described science as fun rather than being so serious . Before that , He gave us a small circle full of something that was like acid and we put in another type of acid that would help make something happen . In an amount of time that was . During that he brang up 2 nerf guns and explained how science works inside the two nerf guns  . I never really thought a nerf gun would have any science at all . Earlier , He brang up something that was like nerf gun but It shot air instead of foam bullets . It had a slingshot trigger to shoot the air . For one experiment , The teacher turned something on and we had to walk around the table . When we were doing that , The face that our teacher turned on was following us wherever we went around the table , It would follow us . Though that wasn't the key thing though . The key thing was that it was facing in and that it was an optical illusion . Period 3 was making slime in the science room .

Year 8 Day Tommorow!

Tomorrow , After technology , all of the year 8's are going to stay behind and experience what it is going to be like there for some students to see what it is like when they go there next year but for others , It is just going there to learn and see what students at Tamaki College/T.C  do when they are at school learning different things . I wonder what we could learn from both the students and the teachers tomorrow . The year 8's are going to be there for the entire day so we'll be dismissed from Tamaki College . Me , Vuni and Ricky plan to go to Tamaki College next year . So it is good time to experience what Tamaki College is like .
