Technology


8GMc were hard at work in the technology room today making products to sell at the upcoming Market Day. They will be selling their products to keen year 5/6/7 pupils who will each get $25 Southwell money to spend. Some products are coming along nicely - others will hopefully get there in the end. Stay tuned as we are currently looking into advertising and I will be sharing their adverts/posters as they are completed.

Penny Stoves


Last year the students of 8GMc made penny stoves in technology. With the theme of camp at the moment they had the opportunity to try them out in a controlled environment. Sausages and bacon were on the menu which turned out pretty tasty. No one got burnt so a great session all round! Looking forward to camp next week - it is going to be amazing!

Making Damper



On Friday in technology we learnt how to use the camp cookers and make damper. This is something we will make in the Waipakahi Valley. All of 8GMc managed to make something edible - although some took a little longer than others. In a weeks time we will be able to put our skills to the test on camp - can't wait!!!

Toasting Tech

Today in tech the students in 8GMc had the task of designing a simple toaster to make toast over a gas burner. After initial designs the students constructed a variety of different toasters. Some worked, some didn't but the students who did not succeed the first time altered their designs and everyone got to have a piece of toast by the end of the session.
