Yesterday morning was a wet soggy day, The skies were grey just like the clouds. 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.

When English was over we all headed back the Tamaki College School hall it was fun seeing what college was like. When we were in the hall the same teacher from the start when we came in to the school. 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.

2015 Polyfest

Yesterday the whole senior block of Pt England school went to poly fest. In the morning we went to get ready to go to poly fest. First we sat in our classes for our teachers to call our names out on the roll. After our teachers called our names out we went to go on the bus to poly fest in Manukau. After 20 minutes drive on the bus we got off on the side of poly fest.

We sat down until the other buses arrived then we went into poly fest. When we got in these security guards were checking our bags. They were checking too see if we had any illegal stuff on us but none of us had anything. When they were finished we went to go sit down on the wet cold grass. We saw lots and lots of different schools there.

There was a lady talking to us about something, and then, John Key, the prime minister came. That was the first time I had seen John Key. After that we all went to go do some activites in our own different groups. The first activity we did was fire wise. A fire mans was talking to us about fire safety. Then he showed us some stuff about what fire can do and how fast it could spread.

After a couple hours we went to go see the performance of bollywood. That was awesome watching a different culture. Then our team teacher  brought us some donuts. They were delicious. After that we went to sit down in the sun waiting for our buses to go back to school. When we went to get our bus there were no buses and my team had to wait. It was hot when our bus came. We jumped on the bus and went back to school. When we got back to school we all said thank you to the bus driver and went back to class.
