Preparing for Culture Groups

This week, we've sorted out our culture groups for the end of the year. We have a Maori, Samoan, Tongan and Cook Island group. I'm in the Samoan group. 

We are a few steps ahead by, practicing now. I am so thrilled that I can take part in the Samoan group! I enjoy learning more about my culture by dancing and expressing myself. Mrs Folu, our Samoan teacher, has been teaching me for three years so I am very thankful for her help. 

I can't wait until next term. The real journey begins. My adrenaline is going to go through the roof! Here are the Samoan girls from last year. 

ToonDoo - Graphics with Mr Pineda

This week at Tech, I'm with a new teacher with a whole new style.

My new teacher for Tech is a man called, Mr Pineda. He does things based on drawing and designing. In other words, graphics. I am so stoked! Mr Pineda welcomed us into his classroom and introduced himself.

A few minutes of chatter and introductions later, we finally started our activities. We created an account on a wondous website called ToonDoo. Here is what I've created so far.

3, 2, 1... Pow! - Volleyball

Yesterday, the 4th of September was the last day for volleyball. My class had great fun playing against eachother.

Coach Renee had so much planned for us. We had a combination of games, elimination, a tournament and two rounds of boys vs girls. I had a lot of fun!

At the end of our session though, sadly, we had to say farewell to coach Renee. Right before we split our seperate ways we had a photo shoot. 24 photos later we finally said our last goodbye and thank you to coach Renee.
