This week Monday to Thursday pwc - price water house cooper coach's came to Glenbrae school and people came and tech us about financial literacy. At  financial literacy we learn about how to save money, how to reduce expense, borrowing money and paying that person back, and also how to hide identity theft they helped us how to not buy things we don't need like, lollies, chocolate, fizzy and stuff.

I really liked them coming to our class they tough us a lot like saving money, keeping our identity safe and more I forgot. It was a pleasure to have them and hope to meet them in the tuture

Going to the Museum!!!

At 9:05 we all went to the hall, to get ready to go to the museum in Auckland,we went to the hall so we can count how many kids are coming to the trip, after about 4 - 5 minutes we went on 2 buses, as we were going to the museum I was thinking of, what are the things I am going to see there, Dinosaur   bones of course, but how about the moa's bones, I am pretty sure the museum has that, 30 minutes later we arrived at the museum, I was really big but we had to go in our setting place were we eat, drink, and plan. Then a man came and told us the rules what to do in the museum and what not to do in the museum, as he was speaking I can remember him saying, no running, "no touching things that say DON'T TOUCH, don't go across the yellow line and definitely don't push". After the rules were sent we went in the museum.

It was really cool a lot of carvings that were made, we saw a maori house which is called a marai, were the maori's eat, sleep and pray, we went in and we saw a sign saying, no photos or shoes in the marai. We went in and it felt peaceful, not if other kids that didn't belong to us didn't have to run, but I felt peaceful, I was just imaging how peaceful it would have been inside this sacred marai, we then went out and saw this big canoe very big, big enough to fit more then 50 to 70 people. Then we went to see things in the glass which were  spears, axes, stones, Shields, and many more I can't explain, we then saw a display of a tribe being attacked and the other more advance and more combat, then we saw trees, and men mining stone, I saw something odd and no one saw a man, trying to catch a bird and then my friend saw then that was it of my little secret then we moved on.

When we went to different places the museum was full of different things, till we had to go, I felt really sad for the elephant that got killed and was used for mainsails and killed you also for food, they took the elephants trunk and I felt sad, but it was still fun.

Technology Wood

I chose to make a mirror frame made with wood and a mirror, and itś for me,
this is the best choice because you don't need to go in your bathroom and
look in the mirror there, when you can look at your own mirror for yourself
and others.

This will be used in the lounge were it will sit on top of the t.v table, were it
is seen and were it is safe so my younger sisters, and brothers won't be
able to, to touch or eat it. This will also be used for our hair so we can look,
and were my mum can do her makeup when she goes out.

I will need to consider putting the mirror in a high place, like I said so my brothers
and sisters don't touch it, or eat it, and also make sure that it doesn't fall, and make it
attractive.

The process.

Step 1. I used a pencil to make a full size working drawing of my mirror so when
my instructor comes he knows what I am doing.

Step 2.  I used a steel ruler to measure what I am going to make, and get the
measurement so I know what to do next, onto my piece of wood.

Step 3. I marked a square line at 90% across my wood piece using the tir-square ruler,
then gave it to the instructor so he knows that the measurements are right.

Step 4. I cut the first piece of wood using a backed saw to make the joint and to
make sure that the piece I am using goes together with the other pieces.

Step 5. I then marked out the lines to cut with a marking gauge, so I can make the
joint, then when I did that I had to use a wood chisel to make the joint were my other
piece of wood I cut out, then stick it in the joint when I am done.

Step 6. Then the instructor came to me and told me that I and to cut out two wood
pieces so it can be stable, and I did then he went to his station and cut out my
wood pieces into curves, then he told me to find the center of the wood piece
by using the steel ruler and a tri-square.

Step 7. When I found the center of the wood he curved and cut out he went to
his station again and he cut out the center of the wood and then gave me a big
square rectangular shape wood for me to find the center on the sides, and have
to admit also that it took me for ages, then the time of class ran out.

Step 8. I found the center of the big square rectangular shape wood then he cut
the wood right were I made the center of the wood, as he was cutting he gave me
two long cylinder type nut in a shape wood, were I can put it into my wood piece
together with my curved pieces of wood.

Step. 9 when he did that, I had to wait for our instructor to help others before he can
help me. I needed help with the next part of my project, which was putting in the two cylinder shape of wood inside of my project were the whole, is drilled.

Step. 10 he put both cylinder shape wood type into my wood together with the big
piece of wood, he was looking in the whole trying to line it up so he can hit it down
with the hammer so it is strong.

Step. 11 when the cylinder piece was in place he went into the back
into his room and came out with a mirror, I said “ isn’t that a pit to big
for mine, and he said “ yeah that’s why I am gonna use a mirror cutter,
and cut it out with a paper, when he did that he cut it perfectly and it was done.

Step. 12 when that was he gotta type of glue, very strong glue, and then mixed
it together and I got to admit again it looked like gum, gum that you can eat, then
he place the glue at the back of the mirror and told me to leave there till next week.

Step. 13 when my mirror was attached with the other wood piece he told me to finish
off my project which I am doing now, and now I am finished
