Food Tech - Meat Pie Fillings

Today for food tech we made meat pie fillings. In food tech we made our filling for our meat pie. I was working collaboratively with my group. We managed to complete this task successfully. It was a long process of steps but we finally made our fillings. I can't wait for next week as we finish off our makings of our pies. 

Futsal and Tennis

Today we headed down to the Marist club. Over there we played Futsal and Tennis. Our instructor Martin gave us an opportunity to play on the real grounds of Futsal. We also got taught how to play a game of Tennis. Our first rotation was Tennis. The instructor we had was Neville, he was a professional Tennis player. Something I learnt in tennis was to always look at the ball. We then had a game of Futsal. I was the captain of the black team. Martin was our referee. It was really fun and we won both of our rounds. For both games we scored 2 points. I would like to thank Martin and Neville for coaching these games. 

Photo Story of Camp

This photo story has pictures of us doing high ropes, making milo, archery, pools, orienteering and many more. I choose some scenes that happened during our days at camp. The most fun activities I did during the 4 days were the high ropes because they really challenged me and I got over my fear of heights. 

Photo Collage - Camp

This photo collage has pictures of my activity group doing some rotations at camp. We made this google drawing together and added many pictures of our days.  

The Bow and Arrow

After our camp trip we wrote a recount of our favourite camp activity. My favourite camp activity was probably archery, I found this fun because I have never tried this before and it would be fun experiencing something else. I used the structure " T.R.E.E" which is Title, Reveal , Events and Ending. 

Conserving water

Today we have been asked to make a DLO about Auckland conserving water. We are using our learning to help others understand how important it is to save Auckland water at the moment. 

Assembly Awards

Today at assembly, I received a certificate and my ' Manaikalani ' 2017 badge. The badge has our school logo and our name. The certificate was about this terms topic. I am extremely proud to receive these two awards. 

Neurons

 

 Today I was working with Affonso. We were learning about Neurons and made a DLO about them. Something I learnt about Neurons is that, we have millions of them in our brain. Learning about Neurons was really interesting.  

Maths - Puzzler

Today for maths, the game we played was Puzzler. This game helped me recall my ordering fractions. At first, this game challenged me but then it got easier. 

Food Tech - Large Quiche

Today for our food technology we were making large quiche. This was easy because last week we made mini quiches. I got to prepare the fillings with my group Nazella, Sakae, and Oh Hsen. The ingredients we used for our fillings were spinach, onions, cream cheese, tomatoes, and cheese. It was a long process but we finally made our quiche.

This is a task for my Silver Excellence CARE award. I have decided to complete my personal passion task. This is my task and it has some information about my personal passion. 

Greatest Common Factor

Today for maths we chose a game to play based on our choice. The game I chose was really fun and it was called greatest common factor, Sketch's World. You have to get 10 correct answers to play a key board game. You have to collect pencils and every keyboard game you play, you go onto a higher level. 

Omaru River

Our inquiry focus for today was the Omaru River. This river is located in East Auckland, Glen Innes. Jorja and I were talking about the positive side effect of the river and the negative side effects. To share our learning we made a DLO about the Omaru River. We added Images to back up our text. The blockage was caused by wet wiped flushed down the toilet. Blockages in the river can make the water stagnant and polluted.   

Different perspectives

Today our focus for reading was different point of views. Oh Hsen, Calvin, Mathias, Shakaia, Javeylor and I were working collaboratively to compete our work. The article we read was Christchurch police were told to remove 343 liters of alcohol tipped down the drain. Our challenge was to work together and and view both sides of the story. We chose one perspective which was most accurate.Together as a group we managed to complete the task. 

Ordering Fractions and Decimals

 I have played this game and I had to order decimals from lowest to highest. This game helped me recall my fractions and decimals. At first this game challenged me a bit but then it got easier the more I played it. To help you recall your ordering fractions and decimals here is the link to the game. 

Fruit Splat, Greatest Common Factor

Our focus today in maths was common factors. I played a game which was called Fruit Splat, Greatest common factor. This game helps your recall your greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is the greatest number that is a factor of each of two or more numbers (e.g the greatest common factor of 8 and 12 is 4 .) This game was easy, but it did challenge me.
