Tech

Tech at Tamaki College was great. Mrs Ferguson group have starred planing some Design Ideas for there digital clocks. What we did first was we looked up some design so we could sketch it.  I was making this clock for my dad. After we sketch it we needed to Colour it with either Felt tips,Chalk pastels,Oil pastels and Colour Pencils. For my first design I did a Samoan clock with normal numbers and I was coloring it with Chalk pastels. For my second design I did an Homer with blocked numbers and I used felt tips to colour it. For my third design I did a Mickey mouse and I used Roman Numbers I colour it with Oil pastel. For my last design I had not enough time and it was supposed colored with colour pencils. This was really fun as it had same Art Lesson

Types of Clock

This week was our first Lesson for clocks with Mrs Ferguson. I have made a DLO that shows different clocks. We did so we can learn about the different clock and pick which design for the clock that I was making. I am making an Character Clock. The design is Mickey Mouse. We have also created a google doc with some question to help us think about the design we are going to make and how we are going to make it. I am making mine for my dad as he is a hard worker.

Design Models

This week for tech we made Design Models. This was a plan for our Phone stand that we are going to make. The design I have made supports my phone because the design is thick and strong.
