The whole Yr8s from Pt England and Glen Innes primary, Glen Brae, Tamaki primary, St pauls, Panmure Bridge Came to Tamaki College. To see what college was like, Once the the senior Intermediate came to tamaki college the Dp Principal was greeting us to come and set down on the chairs in the hall. After that she was talking to about what college is like, Then we had to grab a the tamaki card with a USB. Then On the cards it will say our names on it and it will show our groups. Theres was 4 groups Rata, Puriri, Kowhai, Totara.

Once we got into our groups we all done some school work and done some fitness. First my group puriri done graphics it was alright we made a paper crocodile after that we did science. It was fun we had to put ingredient in to the Cylinder. After that when we put in our last Ingredient and the whole ingredients turned into hot bubbles and the bubbles went everywhere lucky we were wearing safety gloves and safety glasses.

Then we done maths it was hard because the teachers talking way too fast and we had to answer them I was getting confused. After she was finished talking I was getting more confused because I did not hear anything that came out of her mouth. After we done math I was happy because we were doing P.E it was fun when Dorce put us in groups we played three games. We played touch, Hand soccer and basketball it was awesome. The last thing we done was english that was the hardest our teacher for english was Mrs Latu.

She was talking us about stuff and then she was handing out some prizes the prizes were a laptop bag and a 3d printer. After that all the schools around Glen Innes went back to their schools, it was so fun.

Anzacs And The WW1

In 1914 there was a war against Anzacs and Europe. It began on 28 July 1914. The was was for so long. There were bombs dropping from the sky and there were guns firing and there lots of lives taken and some people injured. There plans dropping out of the sky and zooming fast across the sky some people got a blown off arm or leg. But when they arrived there was no time to have a rest they all just started shooting there handguns and there rifles. But some people didn't even get to run because there were bullets going everywhere.

It was so violent. There were bodies everywhere,some people surrendered and some people just tried to hide but there were bad people everywhere. But we won WW1, there were thousands and thousands of people who died for us in the war against Anzacs and the European. When some of the war heroes arrived. Some of the dead peoples families were crying and some families were happy to see their sons and husbands.

Right now in 2015 some of the war heroes around New Zealand and Australia are still alive and some of the war heroes tell stories about themselves. Every year we have Anzac Day and Poppy day.  Anzac day is on the 25th of april and poppy day is on 24 of april. Anzac means Australia,New Zealand,Army,Corps.
