This week, the year 7 & 8's moved into the new Kahui's. The classes together are, TS with SH, DS with AL & MT and TZ & BH. All three buildings had different names, Mohua, Riroriro and Tieke. TS & SH are Tieke. All of the buildings are named after native birds. It took two years including the Learning Commons and Learning Street for it all to be built. I wasn't here on Monday or Tuesday so I didn't get to explore much of the classroom.

When I walked into our new buildings I saw, bright orange walls, different bright colored tables, dark blue chairs, bright orange bookshelf to match the wall, white and grey walls complementing the orange. There was a large seating that looked like stairs, at the back of the seating was tables and plugs for students. There was also cubes on the sides of the seating with a table just big enough for two students. There was a large tall black table, it looked like it could only be comfortable for the tall people. There was a door leading out into the field, there was lots of classrooms in one building.
When I walked into our new buildings I thought, that it looked much bigger and had much more space then our other classrooms. I thought it was going to be smaller, but it looked much bigger to what I had imagined. I thought I was going to get lost in these new buildings because of how similar all buildings looked. I thought that the outside area was amazing, the seating with umbrellas covering the seats to block the sun, the hill of fake grass looked nice.
When I walked into our new buildings I felt, scared, anxious and excited. I felt scared and anxious because it was new buildings and I didn't know which one to go into. I had to ask a couple of friends to know which building I was in. At the same time I felt a sense of excitement, it was a new building and new area, feeling excited is a good feeling. There was also a new timetable that I had to get used to for next term.
