Last Day Of Tech

   On The last day of tech we finished adding our details on and coloring it in. When we finished cutting out our carton we had to stick it onto another carton format. When we finished sticking it on our second paper we were supposed to laminate it but unfortunately I didn't finish it in time. 

What I have achieved is designing useful things for our environment and community. 

                           What I have not achieved is working fast enough to get things done.                                                                                      

Tech

At tech we started designing our front cover of our juice carton. I haven't started on my good copy of my carton so I am designing on a test paper. One thing we need on our cover is how many ML. The title of my juice carton is Apple Bomb and the flavor is obviously apple. On my cover I have a little apple character saying try it love it its good and healthy for you.

Company Making Robots That Looks Like Human

A Russian manufacturing company has released a scheme to mass produce life like robots.
The design is called a Robo-C because they are designed to be used as a companion. The company that makes these robots is called Promobot. It plans to use the robots as personal assistance and companions and hopes they will be able to be used for educational purposes. The Robo-C has a neck and torso and can look like any person on this earth. Very soon people will be able to order a robot with any appearance for professional or personal use. The robot is not able to walk but is able to copy human expression, move its eyes, eyebrows and muscles. It can also hold a conversation. The robot has over 600 facial expressions and will be able to communicate and answer questions by studying the original.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins said about 20,000 students from nearly 200 schools would be sitting online exams this year, up from 6,700 students last year.

Tech

At tech today we started creating the cover of our juice carton. The name of my juice is Apple Bomb the flavor is apple and this is the font I used. Next we had to add our ML, bar code, ingredients and lastly nutrition. When we thought about those things we had to think about what is legal and why. We said that you need ingredients to show if you have any allergies to the juice. Next we had to think about what we can use that can be safe and not harming the sea animals. We came up with an idea instead of straws you can have a side where you can unfold a attached pouring hole.

Then we let them dry by using the sun or blowing it because unfortunately Mrs Ferguson lost the art rooms hair dryer.

(Tech) Completing Our 3d Work.

At tech we finished off by adding a second coat to our 3d pieces while we were painting some of us still needed to share our 3d pieces creation to our teacher Mrs Ferguson.  If we had already sent our creation to her then we wrote our name on the board and how big do we want our pieces. I wanted by pieces 35x35.

When my board piece was cut out I had to sand it with a sanding paper until it was smooth. When my board was smooth I then added some glue and glued the board together with a cut out square frame.

Rare Flag Given Back To Kingitanga.

A rare 160 year old flag has been returned to the Kingitanga by the Anglican Church. The flag dates back to the time of the first Maori King Potatau Te Wherowhero. The Anglican Church officially signed over ownership to the Kingitanga after forgetting they had it for almost 100 years. The current King Kingi Tuheitia's son Te Ariki Tamaroa Whatumoana, received the Taonga on behalf of Kingitanga at a ceremony at Auckland Cathedral. The origin of the flag is unclear, it may have been made as a kind of funeral pall at the time of Potatau's death. In 1929, it surfaced in England. It appears to have been taken there in 1865 by a member of the clergy who had served in Aotearoa. It was then returned to Aotearoa. Ross Bay the Anglican Bishop of Auckland, it is time for the Taonga to finally return home. The flay will be welcomed back to Turangawaewae Marae formally next week with Waikato Tainui now resuming their role as Kaitiaki of the Taonga.

Kayaking At Wero White Water Park

At Wero White Water Park we went kayaking. We put on our gear which was a wet suit, boots, helmet and a life jacket. Then our instructor told us to secure our legs in somewhere under our kayak. We lined up in boys and girls line from shortest to tallest. Each people at the front had to grab to kayaks and put it in the shallow. When everyone had put their kayak in the shallow. We were told that if your kayak has the titan logo on the left and nothing on the right then we were correct. We kayaked to one end on my way I either flipped over or sank. When we were at one end we then had to kayak to a different area to rest. When we were resting our instructor gave us a challenge to make it back to land without flipping over.
