Tamaki College Year 8 Open Day

Last week on Thursday I went to Tamaki College to experience what we will learn at their school. Every year 8 got separated into separate groups. In the groups there were 4 different other schools in our groups we went to different classes. My first Class was Social Studies in Social Studies I had get into a group of four and we had to make a presentation on what our school would look like and how would we do ours one person in our group suggested that we can only wear converses for our shoes and we all agreed.



 



This  is what we got to do when we designed our dream school. The next class I went to was Science what we learnt in Science was what a Paramecium was and they are these little germs that wriggle really slowly. Then the Science teacher made us look through the scopes to look at three different things one was cheek dust and plant root and then last was the Paramecium. Then after we finished with learning about a Paramecium the Science teacher showed us this cool Science thing when he made a liquid turn a flame green.

After we did Science we went to Mathematics what we had to do in Mathematics is make a alien mask using the X and Y coordinates. First we drew the alien head and then we drew the eyes and the nose and mouth, after we drew it we cut it out then after we cut, it out we cut one hole on each side of the mask and tied a string to the sides. When I looked at my mask after I finished it, it looked small and if I tried to put it on it would have broken.

The next class I did was Graphics what we did is we learned  how to make a pop out card the teacher handed out the materials we needed and then he taught us how to make a pop out card. What we did was that we cut out the shape that showed on the the paper, and then we glued the shape to the middle and waited for it to dry. When the glue dried we opened our card up and saw that it looked like a crocodile face and then we drew a crocodile face on the card.

The last class I did was English what we did for English is that we had to read a story about how the world began. After we red the story we had to write a recount about the story and after we wrote our recount we had to share our work with the teacher. When we had finished we would have to wait for the others to finish but unfortunately I didn't get to finish my recount.
