Kakapo Hits Record High

 New Zealand kakapo has hit record high. Latest records show that the bird has officially reached a record high around 213 adults. This is tremendous news for conservationists who had worked  hard to preserve the endangered native species. In 1995 there was just 51 kakapo, alive. Last year there was 148. Experts believe that there are more kakapo alive, then the last 70 years. Kakapo has increased past the 70 years. The population of kakapo has expanded by 70% in the last 3.5 years, due to bumper breeding seasons. Despite the population has increased the native birds are still endangered species.

Tech Blog - Wood Works

1. I did pretty good completing everything that was needed for my project.

2. The 8 design ideas I thought about or chose or drew were truck, box, race car, train,  jeep, helicopter,  Monster truck and finally piano.

3. The working drawing was a train.

4. I then marked out were the joints were.

5.When I finished marking my joint I then grabbed a backed saw and a bench hook and put my piece of wood on the bench hook, then I sawed it.

6. After I sawed it with the backed saw.

7.  I then use a wood chisel to make a joint.When I finished chisling it, I then got told by Mr Grundee to change to plan B and plan B was to change my project into a truck.

8. So then Mr Grundee cut out a piece of wood then he gave me a block, to draw the same shape as the head of the truck. Then he got to long pieces of wood that have the exact measurements. Then he glued them together. Then he grabbed a little piece of wood he stuck it on the back of the truck. When he stuck all of the pieces together I waited 30 minutes to let the glue dry, when it was dry he took it and made 4 holes on the edge of my truck and he got 4 long pieces of wood that were skinny and shaped like cylinders, and 4 wheels and then he stuck the 4 wheels and 4 skinny cylinders together.

9. I have produced a good truck.

10. It also fully works.

11.It looks good.

12.I would change the sawing that I did it looks a bit off.

13. I rather picking a easy project so you can finish faster.

Step 1: I drew my design on paper and used a pencil to make a full size working drawing of my project (locomotive) because if I didn't, I wouldn't know how to make it properly.

Step 2: I used a ruler to copy the measurements on to paper to my piece of wood.

Step 3: I marked a square line (at 90 degrees) across and using a try square to
 measure if it's correct.

Step 4: I cut off the first piece of wood using, a saw and also a bench hook to hold the wood in place.

Step 5: I then marked  out the joint using a bench hook, saw, chizzle and a hammer.

Step 6: After I chizzled it, I then use sand paper and try to smooth in it.

Step 7: When I finished smoothing it, I get my other piece of wood and try to fit it in to make sure it fits.

( So I changed my choice and went to a truck because we only had two weeks left.)
(Also i´m trying to work on the body of my truck. )

Step 8. I then try to make other things that are inportant for my truck.

She had us go on our Chromebooks and make a new google drawing folder and just name it ME. I was confused "Who would name their google drawing me" She explained us put anything that you like,Food,Cars and Video Games.

Back To School In Intermediate.



I'm back to school. Finally in intermediate. The work in Room 12 is not hard so far. I'm getting used to this difficult work. It's really amazing seeing the work that people do on their Chromebooks like seeing them type fast and have written two paragraphs in two minutes. 

Next week we're going to Tamaki College to do Techno craft.

 We have new teachers, Mr Botha and Mrs Honore, and our new principal Mrs Hamilton.

School is not hard if you get used to it. 

Technology Lesson 1

We did the me activity it was good because it explains viewer that I like that and many more like my favourite cars,foods and other stuff. The class we were in had pictures scatters everywhere like on the roof on the wall the pictures like fruits and some other drawings.(Also these are the stuff I love)
