iDrive PMI

Positives

I really liked to have the choice on what activity I could do and not having the teacher choosing an activity for all of the class. I liked Carpentry because I learned how to hammer a nail into a piece of wood. I liked lego because I got to make whatever I wanted and be part of a group working on a bigger creation.

Minuses

I didn't like hitting my thumb with the hammer because it really hurt. There's not really any Minuses.

Interesting

The Interesting thing was that I was playing and learning at the same time and getting to know my friends strengths and weaknesses. I mostly created with my friends so I think I should create with different people so I get to know other people too.

Labour Day

Labour day is on the fourth Monday of October. Labour day celebrates the eight hour day movement. Which meant eight hours of work, eight hours of recreation and eight hours of rest. A carpenter called Samuel Parnell fought for the eight hour working day. The first Labour day was celebrated in 1890. Labour day used to be on the second Wednesday in October but in 1910 it was moved to the fourth Monday of October.   

My holiday recount

Week one

On Monday in the first week of the school holidays my and my family and I went to the warehouse' and my mum and dad go me an early birthday present. It was a new bike!

When we got home we had some lunch and then me and my dad put the bike together. It was really easy because there were only five steps to follow.

When we finished putting it together I rode for about half an hour up and down our street before coming back home. It has seven gears and three cos.

Week two

On Wednesday in the second week of the school holidays my family and I went up to Auckland to see my auntie de.On the way to her house we stopped at New Lynn to get me a haircut.

That night after dinner my sister, cousin, mum and I hopped into my auntie’s spa. It was really warm.

The next day we went to a really cool playground. It had a really twirly slide. My sister, cousin and I played tag and I was in. (I went easy on them because there only five).

On friday we went to the zoo. When we got to the kiwi I spotted two roaming around in the middle of the enclosure.

That afternoon we started to pack our bags to head home. About five minutes later me said goodbye and started our journey back to ngatea.

iDrive

This week for iDrive I did Lego with Fraser, Cc's and Leon. Fraser made tankbot and a coast guard boat. Tankbot re-fuels cars, boats and plains. Cc's made fanbot. Fanbot cools down our radioactive plant. I made a police boat that can drive on land. Leon made a boat that caries electricity and water tanks. We all used creativity to create our peace's, and resilience because all of us made and demolished.
