LAST DAY COOKING AT TECH !!! 😢

Wednesday was our last day cooking with Mrs Tuipulotu. Our tech group made sausages with cheese and chips, my partner was Liza. She's an amazing cook!

Step 1 - The first thing we had to do was slice the 4 sausages in half.

Step 2 - After that we put cheese and tomatoes on the sliced sausages. If it wasn't enough we had to top up the cheese and tomatoes.

Step 3 - Bake for ten minutes with the chips in the oven as well.

Step 4 - Serve with tomato sauce and enjoy.

The Duffy Show

Duffy Show!!!

The Duffy Show came to our school on Tuesday, after the long weekends. They had a show for our school in the multi purpose room. Firstly the show was really amazing! They were teaching us how to sing the duffy song in New Zealand Sign Language, Which was a learning experience.

The show was about how people take bullying as a joke. Duffy meets a girl named Ashley crying in the bathroom. Duffy asks Ashley why she was crying, Ashley says she's hungry and continues to sob. Duffy asks what happened to her lunch, and she explains about the bully.

She said that it all started when her grandma died, She started worrying about her dad dying or her mum. She started having nightmares and couldn't get any sleep, that was A BIG PROBLEM! She went to school late and, VERY EXHAUSTED! Ashleys teacher always had a problem with her coming late. She was really sleepy in class, she accidently fell asleep.

That's when the bullying started. She started mocking ashley and stole her lunch. Ashley never did anything because she was intimidated by the bully. Duffy felt sorry and gave her a book to relieve her stress, because that always helps him.

Ashley read that book that night, It actually helped her get to sleep. She had a nice sleep that night, and got early to school. The bully was trying to intimidate Ashley, but the book gave her the courage to stand up to the bully. The bully left furiously, Ashley Gave her the book to calm her down.

The bully read the book and finally understood that she was bullying Ashley. The bully thought of it as some jokes. Now she finally understood what she has been doing. She apologized and asked Ashley if she wanted to play soccer with her and Duffy.
