Innovative Cars

The past has changed and the future has arrived! Modern cars have changed over the past century, from an old, three-wheel car, into a flash four- wheel car.

The first petrol engine car to ever have been driven on land was driven by Karl Benz. (Karl Friedrich Benz, engine designer and car engineer.)

Henry Ford, the person who started the Ford Motor Company, had an idea of creating an assembly line. An assembly line is a way of creating new products, a safe and quick way of making products. Using this assembly line the Ford Motor Company has been successful by innovating in motor vehichles to be sold all around the world.

Highlights, Lowlights and What I'm Looking Forward to!

One of my highlights from last term was becoming a prefect, it was a privilege becoming one of 8 outstanding role models of this school. One of my favourite parts of being a prefect highlights of last term, was getting to greet visitors to our school and also thank special people.

One of my low lights from last term was coming 7th in our Auckland Softball Tournament. We were struggling having to play the top softball players in Auckland, so that tournament was like another nightmare.

What I’m looking forward to do this term is my rugby, I have been training for weeks now and started focusing on more skills of becoming a better, stronger and a faster player. I am very hyped for the Walter Dickson trials and the Bill Mclaren trials. I really hope I make it in to one these two Auckland rep teams.

Adverbs!

Every school morning during literacy, We basically learn about different kinds of Nouns, Pro-nouns, Verbs, Adverbs and Adjectives. An example for an adverb would be, it will always usually end with a -ly and it describes where, when and how it's taking place.
Five different adverbs that describe this photo are:
1. Aggressively.

My Post To My My Mum In Aussie

Dear Mum and Dad in Aussie,

I’m typing this post to let you know how I’m doing here inside school and outside school.

Camp was amazing, My favourite camp activity was Kayaking with Mr Burt. It was spectacular getting to drive Mr Molloy’s speed boat, and getting to kayak on the two-seater canoes which was called the ‘The Malibu Two.’

My group ‘THE RESPECTABLZ’ were the '2011 CAMP TAKE CHARGE CONCERT WINNERS’ we received 300 points and got awarded chocolates and a mixture of goodies.

That’s all I have to say from now on, I will keep giving you updates and highlights of how I’m working outside and inside of school.

Thank you for your time,

Yours sincerely Feki Taukafa.

My Thoughts Before Camp

Yay,
next week is going to be three days full of fun and excitement!
YEAR 7/8 have been dieing to know what group they were in! I felt ecstatic becoming a camp leader for my third year running.
My group is called the 'RESPECTABLES'. I have no doubt that we are going to be the 2011 'Camp Take Charge' winners, that's if we receive the most points!
We are going to have a great time at camp having back 'Rock Up', swimming at Swimarama and finally having a heap of fun playing indigenous games with Mr Harris and play hard thinking games with Mr Barks.

My Waitangi Day Outing!!

It was a hot and steamy Waitangi afternoon, It was Bob Marley’s birthday. My cousin, My aunt and I were cruising on a 20min drive to Okahu Bay. Their was an annual “Waitangi Day Summer Festival”. My favourite two reggae bands Katchafire and 1814 were both performing at the festival, I felt ecstatic! getting to meet them sing live!

As I arrived, I was buzzing out with excitement listening to 1814 sing their hit song “My Dear Friend”. My cousin and I zoomed off to buy a heap of “Tribal Roots” clothes, My favourite two words.We headed straight towards the magnificent huge stage. The huge roaring crowd, danced and sang along with Katchafire singing Bob Marley’s ‘Exodus’ single “Three Little Birds”.

We had fun playing arcade games, Hitting each other with plastic hammers and enjoyed experiencing our first ever Waitangi day outing!!.

We cruised our way to the famous Mission Bay and had Great Tongs, and headed our way back home. So I thought to myself, I can’t wait to go back next year!!
