On Thursdays we go to tech every morning. We go with some year 7 and 8 students from other classes, the classes we go with are class 4, class 2 of course and some of class 1. There are 3 things that we can do in tech. Like Food tech, Graphics and Hard Materials.
Mr Grundy does Hard Materials. Some times if you do not listen to the instructions, he gets a little angry because you might be chatting or mucking around. Because if you do not listen you will not get your product done. Our teacher has teached classes for other schools. He makes something into a bright and not cheap at all, its more like jewelry. He does his jewelry with pewter.
Pewter is a type of metal which is more like gold but it is sliver. First of all Mr Grundy shows us how to cut the MDF, how to sandpaper your product, how to file and how to polish the final design to finish it off. If you need help then he is always there if you need any help. Hard Materials can be a little hard sometimes but you need practice.
There are so many types of of metal like copper, lead, gold and other cool metals. Some metals can burn you like for example pewter. Pewter can burn your hand and it will stay there for long. Even if there is a small drop of pewter on your hand then it will get stuck onto your hand forever. And it will really hurt your skin.
Being in Hard Materials is really fun. Hard Materials entertains us and we can learn and create a lot of things. We can see new things and we can create new things. It is lovely to have the chance to be at Tamaki College to make things that we have not made before.

Hi Nikita
Thanks for sharing your learning. I enjoyed reading this post. Your writing is improving every time I read it. It is becoming shorter and more detailed, instead of being too long and repetitive. Well done.
HI Nikita,
That was a very detailed story. It might of been the best time of your life. I think that you are a talented writer and you are amazing. I was in the same group as you in tech. Have you learned anything about Hard Materials?. What can you do to improve your writing even better.
