Passion project

A couple of weeks ago I finished my passion project. I think it went really well. I love playing it and I wouldn’t do anything differently.


In my passion project I showed persistence, curiosity and hard work.


I would like to thank my Dad for all his time and hard work to help me achieve my foosball table.

Here is a photo of my passion project.

Passion Project

This term Kahikatea learnt about passion projects and watched a video about a boy named Caine and he made an arcade out of boxes. After we watched that video we went away and thought about our passions and also thought about what we might create for our passion project. It took a lot of thinking but I came up with an idea.



My idea was creating a foosball table because soccer is my passion and I also wanted to try something new. I have beeen working very hard and I have only a few more steps to go.

The reason I chose foosball over a chairity match was because I wanted to be able to play it all the time.

For you guys who don't now what foosball is, foosball is a game of football and you have little men connected to sticks and you swing the sticks back and forth and try and score a goal.





I will show you my passion project when it's finished.

Graffit Art

At the start of term 3 Kahikatea got the choice of doing graffiti art or portrait art I decided to go with graffiti art. I chose to do graffiti art because it was something that I had never tried before and I was willing to try it. My first attempt of graffiti art wasn't very good but I was determent to get it right. At the end of week 4 the teachers wanted a graffiti name plate either of your first name,your initials or your nickname. What I liked about graffiti art was I got to learn how to try a different art style


This is my first attempt














This is my second attempt

How much sugar is in food

Are you aware of how much sugar is in foods and how much sugar you eat per day. You may like junk food but if you don’t know junk food can cause terrible things.

Unhealthy food:

A king sized snickers bar has 54 grams of sugar in it.

A packet of skittles 1 bag has 47 grams of sugar in it.

A packet of starbursts has 34 grams of sugar in it.

Healthy food:

A banana has only has 14 grams of sugar in it.

A apple only has 10 grams of sugar in it.

A orange only has 9 grams of sugar in it.

What sugar can cause:

Your liver. An abundance of added sugar may cause your liver to become resistant to insulin, an important hormone that helps turn sugar in your bloodstream into energy. This means your body isn't able to control your blood sugar levels as well, which can lead to type 2 diabetes. Which isn't good.

Stay healthy

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may help reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers. Vitamins & Minerals. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that help you feel healthy and energized If you stay healthy.

fruit has less sugar than junk food. I want you to stay healthy and only have about two pieces of candy a day. And eat lots of fruit and vegetables and healthy food

Girls Coding Challenge

The girls coding tech challenge is a challenge where students can get in pairs of 3 or 4 and make an app that can help people from around the world.


Our group is called the L.E.L.S (Laughing,Educational,Learning,Superheros).

In my group there is Lila,Lucia,Georgia and I.


We are making an app called feed me but this is how it's spelt in our way F33d M3. Our app is age appropriate for people 15 to 85. Our app is for people that can't drive,don't have much money or have disabilities. We connect with restaurants and supermarkets that have leftover food or food that they don't need any more. We can hire some people to make all the food into freezer meals and the customers  can come and get their food or get it delivered to their home.


Here are our strengths,weaknesses,opportunities and threats in the girls coding tech challenge.

STRENGTHS looking at apps that are similar to ours. sharing ideas with each other. good ideas.	WEAKNESSES agreeing on an idea. having fights.
OPPORTUNITIES To help others. make people happy. to make a difference.	THREATS Competitors. Game Hackers
