My RWC Image

Hey all!
Today for Manaiakalani we did some editing to images to make us look like a Rugby player with items of clothing we made previously, and I think I executed it well i added shading to make it pop put small details on the clothing and think it turned out great!
So here it is.

Rugby World Cup Logo

For the Manaiakalani RWC activity we made a new Logo for the country we were given, me being in Ireland paired up with my buddy Maxwell and got to work!
We had many drafts and re-do's and things didn't go 100% to plan but we tried to make things work.
So we now have our final product and we are proud with the result and here it is!
(Note: There is a error in the drawing.)

What Did We Do In Cooking Tech.

Cooking

(and what we did)

At Gis Int We do something called a Tech Cycle where we are selected into a group and get to learn certain aspects of life like Horticulture, Health, Art, S.T.E.M and My favorite Cooking!

Cooking is great because I love food! Who doesn't it teaches kids how to make great meals and snack, how to work in a group and how to work around the kitchen.

Practice makes perfect and that's is one thing we learnt in cooking

you can't improve if you don't try. I'm Pretty sure everyone can agree Cooking Is AWESOME!

We made so much good food like Brownies, Potato Savouries, Stir Fry, Pigs In A Blanket, Quick Apple Crumble, Waffle, Rice Risotto, Smoothies And More!

Doesn't That sound Delicious to you?

Those Are Some Reasons why I loved Cooking and also give you some insight on Cooking In Gis int.
--Thanks For Reading, Enjoy Your Day!

Waka Orientation Video

Hi! This Video will describe my waka orientation trip. that i took last week. It's short but to the point on some of the key elements of the waka and how to work/maintain it.
hope you all enjoy this short video!   

Moment In History Captain Cook's Arrival

As I slowly strut across the land, I feel sharp, shivers of cold, icy air run down my spine,
like hundreds upon thousands of knives. Slowly but surely I slither my way through the
ice cold mud.

The birds sweet song, bushes sharp rattles and the thundering bangs of the ocean waves sing
with the wind. Leaf by leaf the wind blows until…

BANG! My eardrums howl with pain, as they ring aggressively I fell to the muddy dirt,
I covered my ears with my hands but nothing helped, I thought I was going to die.

But, a few minutes later it was gone… Shaking in shock I stood “where did it come from?” I had to
find out.

Traveling through the bush I noticed, no sweet songs no chirps or cheeps,
just silence COLD. DEAD. SILENCE.

As I arrive to the loud crash by the sea I could make out somewhat of a wooden vessel.

“The priest! He was Right! How is this possible? White beings, it had to be!”
I rushed to the sea as fast as a lightning bolt. I had to greet them, with a haka.

My heart races, I’m scared and nervous anything can happen.

*inhale* “TUR!-” BANG! Everything went black  i was dead

There i lie upon the sand

My Fridge Magnet

All about me!
