No More Cooking.🙁

Today the Year 7's change around. We do not do cooking anymore, instead we  now do graphics. We entered the graphics room and found out that  our first project was to draw our name. Not any standard writing, it had to be creative and stunning! Making patterns or design for your name. It could also be bold and block writing. Sketching or high lighting is a good way to make your model more satisfying. Afterwards our drawing was completed, I showed it to my instructor to see if he will like it or not. I was so thrilled about what I created. It looked like a masterpiece to me. I didn't get enough time to color it in because we had to go.

Making Muffins Again!

As usual, the year sevens went to Mrs Tuipolotu for cooking. I thought we were going to make new desserts but I was surprised. We were making muffins again! Banana muffins, the ingredients were three quarters of milk, a bowl of melted butter, one egg, one and a half cup of flour, three table spoons. Bake them in the oven for 15-30 minutes. 

Afterwards we recited our prayer and ate. Delicious!

Chicken Curry At Tech!

Every Wednesday we go to Tech to cook delicious food. The year sevens went to Mrs Tuipolotu's classroom to cook Chicken Curry! After she  showed us the ingredients, she told us to grab items from the cupboard. Chicken, Curry powder, black pepper, tomato paste, Indian tomato sauce, herbs spices,and brown sugar to make not so sour.

Afterwards we needed to grab our equipment: tongs, frying pan, a pot and a wooden spoon. First step was filling the pot with water and putting the chicken inside. Next,  we put the pot on the top of the stove to heat up. When the chicken was soft and cooked we put it in a frying pan, with the rest of the ingredients except brown sugar. Then we mixed all the ingredients together to make one big pile of tomato paste. We also put in brown sugar to not make it so sour and added the chicken to our tomato paste. Later we mixed it together and we're done. 

Our Chicken Curry was made!

100% Pure New Zealand Facts!

Three facts that I learnt about New Zealand.

1. New Zealand has a population of over 4.4 million people!

2.New Zealand is a small country, but same size to Great Britain or Japan.

3. Over three-quarters of the population in New Zealand live on the north side of the island, only one-third with the rest of the population live in Auckland.

Daily Hard Fitness

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

 

Working hard at fitness is really tough, but it is really good exercise when you wake up in the morning and come to school.

Everyday we get into class lines waiting for our teacher Mr Reid to let Room 9 go first. After Room 9 goes Room 10 follows by Rooms 11 and 12. We all run up the hill, then towards the staff room,  turn right ninety degrees to a lower pathway. Then, down a small bluff, turn clock wise and run down pass the toilets. Afterwards we pass the building and back on the concrete outside the classrooms. We carry that on until ten minutes further.

Having Fun At St Kent's!

On Thursday we went on a bus trip to St Kent's. While there we were separated into five groups with two or more St Kent's students. I was in group five and our first game was master, a game similar to basketball, where are part of the game is having a master.

You have to stand in one spot and shoot the ball into the hoop. If you do this you beat the master, but if you fail the master will grab the ball where it bounced. When, a St Kent's student blows a whistle we have to change position.  
 the people beside
The next game we played is called Bang, where we pretend we have one gun in each hand. If they call your name we have to duck down. The people beside us appear to shoot at us, but instead they are shooting the person next to us will try to shoot us. If you don't duck fast enough you are out. If the person to your left or right have their name said, you have to shoot them but instead you will shoot the person next to them. If you say, ''Bang!'' fast enough they will be shot first and you survive.

After we played a new game called capture the flag but instead the flag was a rugby ball and soccer ball.We have to grab the other teams ball in their territory. If you get tagged on their side you have to stand still for your teammate to tag you free. If you get their ball and run back to your base you win!

After they blew the whistle and we had to go. It was really fun St Kent Day!

National Milk Day!

 On June the first, it was milk day! National Milk Day is all about drinking milk. While Rooms 11 and 12 were drinking their milk, Meana took a few photos of  us.

We receive milk from Fonterra.
