Tech

Today at tech we finished off our me drawing, carton research and design brief. Next we drew the cover of our fruit carton. My cover is a passion fruit and the title of my carton is Dark Night. When we finished we all submitted our work to Miss Ferguson.

Silver Fern Beat Aussie

The Silver Ferns have beaten Australia 54-53. The result means the New Zealand side takes a 2-1 lead in the four-match Constellation Cup series. The Silver Fern trailed by six goals earlier on. However the world champions fought their way back in front of 13,497 fans at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday. Ameliaranne Ekenasio made the shot with 20 seconds remaining after both teams made some errors in a pressure-packed final five minutes. The Silver Ferns can win their second Constellation Cup series if they win the final match in Perth on Sunday.

Finish Up For Rotation

At tech we started painting our board for our 3d games. I painted my board black because I thought it matched my pieces.  I added three thin coats lairs of black to my board and then in the square holes I added two thin coats of lairs. Then we let them dry by using the sun or blowing it because unfortunately Mrs Ferguson lost the art rooms hair dryer.

Funding For Hamilton To Auckland Rail Service

              

     Funding has been given for a rail service from Hamilton to Auckland. Around $92 million in                 funding has been approved for the service, Which will launch next year. Transport Minister Phil             Twyford announced the funding on Friday, saying that more and more people are travelling                   between the two cities. The train will run from Hamilton to Papakura, Where passengers will have   to transfer to the Auckland public transport system. The final aim is to get the train all the way to           Britomart which is in Auckland's city.

(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.
