The Most Delicious Potato Bake I Have Ever Done

 On Tuesday the 18 of May the year 7ś and 8ś went to technology. 

The year 8's were doing woodwork, they were making a waka and the year 7ś were doing cooking class. We made potato bake with extra cheesy sauce and I made it with my buddy Jade. 

To make the cheese sauce for the potatoes  we used capsican, tomato, broccoli, spinach, bacon, corn, onion and garlic. The first thing we did was chop the potatoes. Then we had to make the cheese sauce, which was hard because we didn't know when to take it off or how long to cook it but we  got some help from another group. 

Have you made potato bake before?

Sharing My Knowledge Of Goldstripe Geckos

 For the past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been doing  a David Attenborough video because we wanted to teach other people about Animals and plants in the Ngahere . I have made a video about Goldstripe Gecko with my group Dezray and Amber, it took us a while but we still tried to get to the finish line and we are almost there. We had to find its scientific name which is Holodactylus Chrysosireticus. We also had to find where it lives or grows, what it eat or requires to grow, a physical description etc.

It was hard to find the information I needed because Google didn't have all of the information I was looking for. 

The easy part was to make a DLO about the other easy part was to pick what animal or plant to pick.

Have you made a David Attenborough video? 

The Best Drawing I have Ever Done

 This week in Te Ngahere we made a drawing of the marine life underwater using Google drawings we did this to help us learn more about Google drawings and how to use it.

 I made my underwater marine life using shapes and lines. I made my fish with circles and triangles I made my coral with lighting shapes, I  made jellyfish with stretched out circles and a chord the last thing I made was a turtle using a chord, a big  circle and lines. 

The hard thing was trying to find the right shapes to use because I wanted it to look really good with the correct shapes for example having a fish made out of a triangle.  The easy thing was finding the right colors. 

The other easy thing was making the coral because all I had to do was copy and paste the shape util it covers the bottom of the page.

Have you ever made a fish drawing before?

 

The Most Delicious Cooking I Have Ever Done !

 On Tuesday May the 5th the year 7’s and 8’s went to Technology. The year seven’s were doing cooking class and the year eights were doing woodworks. 

I was in cooking class with Whaea Dot because last term we were with Mr Edwards. We were sitting in pairs in our own units my pair was Tiana but we got to make are own pizza because there were only 9 of us.

 I thought it was easy because I listened to the instructions carefully. The other easy thing was measuring the flour, sugar and water. The hard thing was trying to keep everything tidy well cooking.

 Ebony and I both added all of the ingredients on our pizzas, I added capisican, onion, tomato, mushroom, pineapple, garlic, spinach, oregano bacon, cheese and tomato pasta sauce . We used flour, sugar, yeast, milk powder, water and olive oil  to make the dough. 

When my Pizza came out of the oven I tasted  some and it tasted so amazing and so did Tiana's because we would keep eating each others.

Have you made homemade pizza before and if you have what did you add?

This Is What Happens When You Don't Read Carefully

 This term in Te Waka Awhina/Te Ngahere  we started our day by doing a reading activity  about following directions. Our teacher Whaea Becks gave us a  sheet about  following directions carefully. The first instruction was to read the directions carefully before doing anything  but I didn’t listen and I didnt read the directions carefully,  I did the directions while I read them. I got up to direction  22 but when I read the 23rd direction I realized that it said to only do direction 1 and 2. The reason why we did this is to be able to read the directions carefully.

  I thought it was going to be easy but because I didn’t follow the 1st instruction I failed because I didn't read it carefully. It was still fun but when I reread the instruction 23 I realized that I made a mistake.

Have you ever done a reading test about following directions?
