Tongan Pride

For the past few weeks, we have been told to make a Rugby World Cup presentation. My group and I (Pallas, Akanesi, Heilala and Aydrian) worked together to accomplish our work. Once we were done, Mr Reid told us to make a slide of our own and put in a country we would want to talk about. The reason why I chose Tonga is because it's my homeland and from the day I was born til now it has been a pleasure to be part of a country that is well-known. Go the Mighty Tongans!

My Masterpiece

For the past few weeks or so, I’ve been making a shed in woodtech at Tamaki College. To make our grades high, we had to have joints, nothing loose but tight and a useful tool. I thought it would take FOREVER for this to finish because I didn’t believe in myself but I took a step forward and finished my shed all by myself. I’m proud of myself for accomplishing my work. This is the going to be the best selling masterpiece ever.

He has completed one race in Mexico and has been rewarded with a silver medal. His fastest bike ride is 110 kph. But before he rides, he puts on his gear which is his skin suit, helmet and shoes. After talking about reading, some people from each class received a duffy book.

Jill McDonald's Masterpiece

Jill McDonald was born in Wellington 1927. She drew a lot of illustrations for children’s books and school journal using crayons, stencils, inks, paints and dyes. Jill died in 1982, and some of her pictures weren't coloured in like the book ‘Number One’. All her pictures and illustrations were transferred to her mum in England. Let’s hope someone carries on drawing like her one day.
