STAKEHOLDERS
The Stakeholders are the people who have an effect on the production of your product
The Primary Stakeholder is your client ie. the person or community of people that your sign is going to be created for. eg. ….
| Wider Community Stakeholders: | Key Stakeholders: | Primary Stakeholder: |
| parents Teachers | kids at school | me |
ATTRIBUTES: These describe the physical (what it is like) and functional (what it will do) characteristics of a product. These characteristics are key or essential for the successful function of a product and should be re- evaluated at each stage of the design process.
With your sign in mind, complete the following attributes table:
Attribute | Method of Measurement | Specification |
eg. Eye catching | sign will appeal (be noticed) by stakeholders | Sign must be clear, stand out and be creative |
Size | A medium sign | Must be neat to read |
Colour | Green because it stands out and it might catch there eyes | So the colour can stand out |
Create awareness (e.g. clear message) | No littering | |
Durable/ Weather resistant | cave it | |
Ideal location (in the right area) |
My report
Yesterday I just got my report from my teacher. At 12:30 we finished early because of parent interviews. When me and my mum were waiting I was scared because I didn’t know if it was going to be a good interview. When my teacher called my mum to come in I was sitting nicely outside waiting for her.
When the interview with my teacher finished my mum didn’t want to tell me about my report so she went to go to my sisters class. My sister was also nervous about her report and interview.
After when all our interviews were finished my sister stayed at school and me and my mum went back home. I asked if I could look at my report but she wouldn't let me, so she put it away for my dad. When my dad came back from work my mum showed him the report. My dad looked kind of disappointed about my report because I didn’t do well.
My goal next term is to work on my writing and reading during the holidays so I can have a higher grade when I come back to school.

My term 2 high lights
In term 2 my interesting high lights is when we went to Taoga time. In Taoga time we do different thing in different classes like Miss Tito. We had to look up on Google for our letter that in our name. When I saw a block letter that started with my first letter I thought I would use it for my name. After when I found all my my letter I send it to Miss Tito.
The other thing I like about Taoga time was playing sports with my taoga group and playing on Rugger land. The sports we done was Basket ball and some other sports. Miss Va’ afusuaga teaches us how to play basket ball and more things that we don’t know. I learnt lots of things about basket ball
The best taoga time class is Miss Tito and Miss Va’afusuaga because it really fun and you learn things from it.

Graphics at Tamaki Tech
Tamaki Technology
On Mondays we always have tech in the morning block. The Yr 7 and 8 students walk down to Tamaki College and then they walk to their tech class. I'm in Graphics with some of my friends. Ms Ferguson is our teacher.
What we did in Graphics today is we made cards and drew some pictures. The card I did was a Valentines card for fun. For my card I put a love heart in the front of my card. After that our tech teacher said we had to make something like a pop out, but instead I cut out the eyes and got a piece of card board and drew some eyes on it.
I think Graphics class is fun and cool because you get to make some cards and draw some pictures of fruit with funny faces on it.

My cousin from Australia
On Tuesday night I went to my Nana's house to wait for my Nana to come back from the hospital because my auntie had passed away on Wednesday night. While I was waiting, my mum and brother went to go and get some dinner for us. She took a long time so I asked my cousin if she can text my mum to hurry up.
One hour later she came with my cousin from Australia, that’s why she took for ever. I was so surprised because when my cousin from Ozzie came in I, haven’t seen him since I was 11. When we were eating my cousin brought us some clothes and shoe’s for me and my brother. Down the road from my Nana’s house my brother and my cousin and I went to go see him.
My brother and I went to open the door and he was on his laptop. My cousin was hiding behind the door then he walked in and said hi to him. He was so shocked because he thought that he was dreaming.
Then we told my cousin what had happened to my aunty. He was sad so we went to go and visit her in hospital because her body was still there. After when we finished visiting her we went back to my nan’s and watched TV. My Nana came back and she had good news for us. She said that her sisters and brothers were coming over from Australia and Niue on Friday night to new Zealand for the funeral. It was getting late so I went back home and went to sleep.
