Tamaki Transition Day.

 It was the time of the year for our year 8’s to go to Tamaki College and look around some of the classes and school. The subjects we went to was Science, English and Music. The dean for the year 9’s Miss George split us up into 3 groups.Then some of the prefects of the school came and took us around the classes.

First we went to Music class. Our teacher was Mr Telefone, he told us to write a rap or song. In that class we got split up as well to write a song. Our group wasn't very successful, it was hard to write it because we didn’t have much ideas for lyrics. We had to include things about our community, school and ourselves. Once our group got up and performed it, we just stood there like we were idiots. Well but it was fun in a way.

After that we had something to eat and then off we went again to our next class English. To be honest it was pretty boring. We had to write a poem about a animal, I picked a leopard. I done anything because there was nothing else to do. After we finished writing our poem we had to record it.

Up next was Science. That was the best of all. We learnt how to make Hokey Pokey out of sugar, golden syrup and baking soda. First we put our bowl of sugar and golden syrup on the Bunsen burner. We had to keep stirring it until it started to boil, then we could add the baking sugar. Once the baking sugar was added it started to rise and change colour. We took it off the burner and ate it, it was burnt at the bottom and you could still taste the baking sugar. It tasted alright, but it tasted yuck as well.

The transition was over. We had to go back to school and do our normal things. But the transition was fun, can’t wait to go to a new school next year.
