Experiencing Tamaki College

Today the year 8’s of Pt England school went to visit Tamaki College for the whole day. If you are thinking why we stayed at Tamaki College for the whole day then keep reading and you will find out. The reason why the year 8’s went to Tamaki College was to experience the life of being in College. I enjoyed my day at Tamaki College because now I know that College isn’t that hard and boring because I know exactly what to do and i’m almost prepared for college. The year 8’s got spilt into 3 groups and were off to our classes. The first class my group went to was Te Reo Maori which was pretty cool because they gave me and my group some tips with learning Te Reo Maori and some tips of what to say  when we do our Mihi. Next up was Maths with Mrs Tuitupou. I found Mrs Tuitupou’s  class interesting  because she taught us things we already knew but in a interesting way and a better way to solve our problems and equations. Mrs Tuitupou’s class gave me some tips on maths and I liked her because she didn’t go soft on us because we are year 8’s she treated us like how she treats everyone and that just made me get prepared for College. Maths was over but luckily it was time for morning tea and we got to go around the whole school and me and Liz U just stucked together and went around the whole school like going to the field going up stairs while everyone was just staying in one place. Morning tea was over and it was time for us to get into our Tech classes which was pretty cool because i’m in cooking and we got to make burgers which was delicious. My partner was Finau and we were delayed and we rushed everything but in the end our burgers were the best and they were so taster and massive. The lunch bell rang and we had to head off back into the hall and get our lunch which was water, Subway, bars and the fruit watches. Again me and Liz U went roaming around the whole school again and caught up with some people who used to come to PES and went upstairs to start eating which was so cool because some other girls came and we stuck together the whole time. Just sitting upstairs eating our lunch was pretty embarrassing because some teachers saw us with our subway and our burgers and asking us how our day has been even though our mouth was full. After roaming around the school after we’ve eaten it was time for us to head to English. I enjoyed English because the teacher we had was Mrs George who let us play kahoot which was fun and cool because I came 6th and that game just gave me some tips about english and some tips for my learning in literacy here at Pt England. Mrs George is cool because she told us to work but most of us were just talking including me but in the end we all got some work done. I like Mrs George because out of all the teachers she’s the one who talks to us the most and she is the most fun one and she also gave my group some tips about College like if we wear our uniform incorrectly or come late to class or wag class you get detention, and if you also talk back to the teacher and give them attitude then you get detention. Once our classes were over it was finally P.E time which was our fitness for the day. But anyway after all the classes I have been to they have all prepared me for College next year and to be good so I don’t end up in detention. I just wanted to thank Tamaki College for the best day and experience ever I enjoyed it so much and can’t wait for College next year
