New Van Sheds

 In the building academy I have been learning about how to build a basic standard van shed. Being able to start from planning to actually building the shed. As we first found the area where to put the shed we had to make sure the concrete slab was level with each other. We then started on the planning and are almost finished with the designs. We are heading over to ITM Bay Of Islands in Haruru on Friday to order all the timber we need as well as the materials. Once we have this all sorted and ordered we will make a start.

Soft skills

I am good at adapting to anything that is given to me, whether it's a job with hands on or whether it's about a writing task. I am able to adapt and get the work done. Well as an adaptor, I am a flexible person by having the will of being able to work anywhere with anyone. The main thing that tops me off is being a great communicator. I believe I am a good communicator because I am able to communicate with everyone and anyone and break things down so people would understand on their level.

CAD

Churr, today I will be talking about CAD, I am looking forward to this class because I will be receiving 6 credits as I finish an assessment. The assessment was creating 5 drawings, 4 component drawings and 1 assemble drawing well as adding every single detail that was on the drawing to yours. Now that was only the practical part of it,  the theory/paper work to this was describing what tools you used to create/finish these drawings, the names of the drawings, getting it double checked by 2 others or the teacher to see if it is all correct and describing why these tools were used. 

I will show you my drawings and give you more details about my assessment another time.

Van Shed

 Kia Ora, for the past few weeks the year 13 students and I have been creating a plan of the van shed that we are making. We are designing our van shed out of the steel frame of a shipping container. We have just finished drawing the plans which includes, what size wood we need, how many nogs/studs we need and what extra parts we need to add to the roof. We have then finished our cutting list and order form so we can send that off to ITM Bay of Islands in Haruru and receive the materials we need.

Here is my Order Form  &  Cutting List 

Science - Micro organisms

 At the end of last term we had learnt about micro organisms (fungi, bacteria and virus's). We had learnt that fungi is produced by a thing called spores. They do not breath, chew or drink but yet they are still able to reproduce. Bacteria produce's by connecting the host, mutating and then spreads. Virus produces by adapting to the host, taking over and then multiplying and soon later waiting to produce and connect to other people. 

MRS GREN - MRS GREN has a meaning behind each letter. 

M = Movement

R = Respiration

S = Sensitive

G = Growth

R = Reproduction

E = Excretion

N = Nutrition

All of MRS GREN was what helped us pass out assessment, it showed us how fungal, bacteria and virus moves, it taught us how they respire. Literally the whole of MRS GREN is how and why we passed and got out credits.

Immune system.

Our immune system is what keeps us healthy and alive because if we had been taken over by bacteria we would be dead in every way. It keeps us healthy by keeping all the bad bacteria away as much as possible and it helps us by flow of the immune in our body hydrated. As it may seem not many know they have an immune system that keeps them alive. As they figure it out it is sometimes to late because they have eaten something they shouldn't have but here they are almost dying because they didn't look after themselves.

Electricity

Today we learnt about electricity and what it is.
Here is a photo of what we have learnt today.

Engine Parts Learning

Today we have learnt how to name some parts of the engine and we learnt how it works?
