Tech Reflection

This year, the year 8's had an amazing experience at tech. Our first rotation was Cooking with Ms. Heka, we learned good skills, and recipes which were yummy, but easy. I really liked being able to use these recipes for deserts for my family. Our second rotation was Graphics with Ms. Ferguson. We made wooden clocks. Ms. Ferguson added mechanisms so that the clock would work. This was an interesting experience, I had never made a clock with MDF. My design was a watermelon. It was fun painting it with different colours. Our last rotation was Hard Materials with Mr. Grundy. We were making stained glass. My design was a sunset. It was hard finding designs that were straight to cut. I have learned a lot, and I am very proud with my outcomes. Thank you to Ms. Heka, Mr. Ferguson, and Mr Grundy for a fun experience at tech.

Clocks - Tech @ Tamaki College

Our clocks at tech have finally been put together. Today, we finished painting and glued the sides with the back of our design and the front of our design. It was hard gluing the two sides because there was paint stuck inside the holes. To solve this problem, I grabbed a safety knife and cut the dried paint out of the holes. Thank you to Ms. Ferguson for making the clocks and helping/supporting the year 8's throughout our clock journey. 

Different Types of Clocks - Tech @ Tamaki College

At tech we started our new rotations. The year 8's went to Ms Ferguson. In this rotation, we will be making clocks. Today we were looking at the different types of clocks such as the digital clocks and alarm clocks etc.
