Ki O Rahi Tournament

To end Matariki we had our Ki O Rahi tournament.  Four Teams faced off in a round robin tournament with the two finalists being the teams with the most accrued points.

Team Red; Talia, Ashleigh, Nikita, Patrick, Te Aute and Vaea played Team Blue; Hugo, Mrdina, Ethan, Jess, Fergus, Jeremiah and Alison in a hard fought and exctiting final.

At the end of full time the scores were tied at 2 all.

We played an extra minute each way to come up with a winner, in the last 30 seconds Team Blue scored the deciding point. Team Red were gracious in defeat and played a great game.

The 3D Printer Comes To Room7

3D PRINTER

Dear Mrs Hahn

 

Room 7 should get a 3d printer. The reason why is so we can make toys for the fair, one of the pumps feet is missing then we can make one the perfect size we can also make different tools or even nuts and bolts, you can even make models of your face, trees e.t.c. and you can make the objects by taking a picture and send the picture to the 3D printer and comes out in plastic form.

The 3D printer is basically a printer which makes anything out of plastic that you take pictures of. The 3D printer is a helpful printer which can change anybody's life with tools, hands, balls, toys and it can make their lives better.

The 3D printer works with a material known as PLA. The PLA is in a tube that melts, the PLA falls into a small box then processes to make the object you took and wanted it to print. The reason why the melted PLA doesn’t just slide away because when the PLA goes on the platform and dries quickly so the PLA won’t spread.

3D printers were actually made to change and help people’s lives. The 3D printer changed people’s lives when they were bored or sad that everyone has things that they don’t, they could be tired that they were teased by others so 3D printers could make that thing that the person wanted to make the person’s life better.

Now let’s sum this up, the 3D printer can print anything you can take a picture of, the 3D printer uses PLA, and it can help others lives  so now you now know why we urgently  want a 3D printer.            

 P.S we will give you time to think about it.

This boy didn’t have a hand so they used the 3D printer to make him one and now he enjoys his life with his new hand.

We had some visitors that showed us the 3d printer, their names were Roly Smoldon and Alan Jennings they showed us what you can make out of the 3D printer this what we saw.
