I am going to camp because it is going to be a fun time and I am going to learn new things. What skills, strengths, qualities, powers do you possess that will help you have a really successful camp experience? When I go on camp I will use the learning power Being Me I will use that Learning Power because I will just be my self and make my own choices. What will you do if you have a problem at camp?

Being A Mechanic

Image
When you are a mechanic you are always busy if you run a 24hr mechanic business you can be up really late and leaving really early,in the middle of the night you get calls saying that a drivers truck has broke down it is now your job to go and fix the vehicle. Sometimes when trucks breakdown you can't fix them on the spot so you might have to call a tow truck it is really annoying because it costs heaps of money. Usually a mechanic will have their own workshop somewhere close to their house at their workshop that is where they keep cars sheltered and comfortable so the can work on them. After you have fixed the vehicle you call up the customer to tell them it's ready then the tell you when they will pick their vehicle up and then you make sure it is ready for pick up.

Recently I have learnt about the impact around the trucks and there transport I have learnt about who built the first truck here is what I wrote about my findings. This Research has told me the first ever truck was made by a german automotive named Gottlieb Daimler,The truck he made had four horse power it had to forward speeds and one reverse speed. Gottlieb Daimler also invented the first motorcycle in 1885 and invented the first taxi in 1897.

How Have Your First few Weeks Been?

My first few weeks at school this year have not been so great I dont really like having the same teachers because last year I didn't really make the right choices so this year, so they think I am the same as what I was last year so I want different teachers for a better start. There has been a couple of good things about this year like sitting on seats in assembly,I have also enjoyed being a year 8 with more year 7 friends. I have also not liked the tuakana thing we have in our class because if your not tuakana you cant listen to music and music helps me learn so when I dont listen to music I get distracted.

Wednesday Weather

Today is Wednesday February the 9th 2017 the weather is really bad with really heavy down poor.This rain is so bad that their is flooding everywhere. There is one teacher that is trapped at her home in Thames cause of the flooding, There is another teacher that had to go home because her house was far away and she would rather go home before she gets trapped in Ngatea from the flooding. This morning when woke up I looked out the window and saw that there was heaps of flooding outside over the fence.I went to the kitchen and saw that there was even more floods at our other neighbours. We had lots of water all along the fence line it all came out onto the driveway aswell this is the biggest flood I have remembered at our house before.
