Water Safety - Wga

 

Wednesday Fun Run!!!

This week our school held a fun run in Kyle Park! This event occurred in Wednesday on our 4th period. We all changed in our white or different coloured shirts so the colour would pop more and so our uniform wouldn't get dirty. In the fun run we ran around the field while getting sprayed with water guns or getting colours thrown at us. I got some colour in my ear and basically everywhere, It was so fun I wanted to do it again! Also me and my friends decided to go with our teacher to get wet by a bucket, He spilled so much water on us! After everyone got a turn we finally got to go again and we got more colour! It was really fun and I would love to go again.

Today I interviewed someone I didn't know very well in my Wga class. We've also been thinking about questions that help us know someone, not including their gender. It was a bit hard talking to someone that I didn't know to well and was a bit awkward but other then that it was fun. Here are the results ( I will not be putting the persons name because of respectful reasons.)

Here are the questions that I asked that person. -

Where do you like togo on holiday? Beach or city? Beach	What makes you laugh? Dark Humour / Jokes
What would you like to learn more about? WW2	What are some of your favourite foods? Fries
What makes you cry? Life in general	Do you like to teach other people or be taught? Teach
What kind of stories are your favourite? Fictional Adventure  / Horror	Would you prefer to live in the city or country?  City
Add your own question here: What do you like to do in your freetime?  Cosplaying / Arts	Add your own question here: What helps you relax? Music & Reading

Your Body - Wga

 This week we have been learning about the human body and peoples opinions on it. We've been looking in on how people see appearances and how it is to them, And does it really matter that much?

In our research, Yes, Apparently to a lot of people this does matter to them. The reason to this is mostly because of what they think other people may see them as or they might be scared of people laughing at them.

Another thing we've been looking on is plastic surgery, Healthy or Unhealthy? In my opinion it really depends on the person that's getting it. Plastic surgery can be useful but sometimes not, For example this can be useful for people who've had a bad past and maybe gotten into an accident, they could use plastic surgery to help this, but for those that didn’t I still think it’s personally their choice but I don't think they should, But it depends on their situation.

All of us in our class room have come to the conclusion that we shouldn't worry about our body because our body is just the cove of our real one, The soul.

That't It for today, Cya on my next blog post!

What do you think of plastic surgery?

Happy Healthy Minds ~ Wga

 These past few weeks we have been studying about bullying and why people bully, Some of the information we have found are ☺ -

Some people who bully are sometimes problem-ed, this may cause them to act differently. Some may Verbally or physically bully maybe because they are frightened of something. most bullies attack other people by their fears. Some bully's may do the things they do because they might be going through something and don't know how to take it. Bully's may have went though something in their past that causes them to act up.

Me and my class also talked about how maybe some bullies bully because they like you or want to be friends with you, Some bullies may just be afraid of you not liking them back. Something you may not see is what're some bullies hiding, some maybe hiding fears or personal problems. It is important to keep in mind that bullies are humans to and you can stand up to them and maybe even ask them what's going on and why they behave so badly?

Why do you think people bully? Let me know in the comment below! 💬

That's it for today, Bye! 👐

Wga - Labour Day Post

Hey Readers! This is just a brief blog about labour day.

Labour day was actually made for people who struggle an eight hour working day. 

This was also made for people who do a lot of work for our country and contribute a lot.

Peter J. McGuire was the one of the people who created Labour day.

We have the holiday to celebrate workers that contribute to our country.

In labour day me and my family will most likely just spend time together and maybe spend tome with friends. Labour day will be good for our Well-Being because it will give us a rest and time to take a break.

I hope you enjoyed my brief post! What will you be doing for Labour day? 

B & E

On Wednesday, September 23 me and my team were working on our stand and out finishing touches. This included carrying our things to the right spot, Building our stand, Taping balloons to our backboard and of course trying to get customers. Our business is balloon popping, We thought of this idea because we had some inspiration on the last group that did this last year. After we were done building our stand and blowing up all the balloons it was time to wait. After a few minutes of waiting Mr Scott told everyone to meet up in our green space, After everyone had come he announced that Market day had started! Everyone started exploring around the place and exchanging their money for coins, At first their wasn't and customers coming to our stall this made me think that out business was gonna be a fail but turns out it was a success! More people started to come and some of them brought their friends along which definitely helped our business. Lots of customers came in and there was this really nice  customer that came to our stall 3 times (He was also a very good shot). Soon enough our stall sold out and we made a profit of $52.50 our profit loss was only $17. I definitely think that our business was success but I think next time if we do this again I would change the layout of our game and make it more interesting looking, Other then that I really liked how it turned out. The other stalls were also very great and there was a lot of yummy food and some great inventions!

Day Light Saving Research

In homeroom, we have been researching Daylight Saving. This is what I found out:

1. When does Daylight Saving happen each year in New Zealand? It happens in last Sunday of September
2. What year did Daylight Saving start in New Zealand? New Zealand first introduced day light saving in 1927.
3. Why was Daylight Saving started? Thomas Sidey was the one who declared day light savings. This was so people could get 1 extra hour of day light. I think day light savings should continue because it gives people sometime after work, the 1974 revival of the daylight saving was for the farmers who had to milk their cows in the dark. I also think it should stay because you wouldn't have to pay as much for light because of the extra 1 hour.
4. Do all the states in Australia have Daylight Saving? Who does and who doesn’t? Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia all have daylight saving, while Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia do not.
5. Write 3 tips to help others adjust to Daylight Saving this weekend.

• Start getting used to the time and improvise with it.
• Sleeping somewhere comfortable.
• Not putting your phone beside your bed because it might tempt you.

PE - Last Day Reflection

 PE - Last day Reflection 

These past 12 weeks we have been doing PE, Today is our last day. In these weeks we have spent them on trying to improve our physical health and physical skills. Some of the progress I made during this experience were, getting better at certain sports and learning a lot about teamwork. We've also been playing a lot of games which also helped us practice and warm up for upcoming events like the beep test or Friday sports. Although we may be doing a lot of physical things we also have been doing a little bit of maths and learned about measurements. A game I really enjoyed was long ball, It taught you throwing skills, Running, dodging skills and timing. We got pushed to our hardest and we all noticed improvements throughout these weeks. I definitely enjoyed PE!

Solar Oven

Last week in science we made SOLAR OVENS!!!

Solar ovens are used to cook or melt things with only using solar power, Solar power is energy form the sun being used and turned into energy by some sort of device. In this case we made our own D.I.Y Solar oven, This oven consists of a box, foil, tape and one stick. It was very easy to make so i'm gonna teach you how! Grab a box and make a sort of contraption to trap the heat in, After that tape everything together and put foil all around in the inside. Go outside and look for a good sunny spot to put you solar oven at. If it takes too long you can try use a magnifine glass to help it heat up. We made some yummy smores with this oven! I hope you learned how to make your own solar oven!

Here is an example of mine that me and my team made!

Tongan Language week - Hur1

Today we will be talking about Tongan Language week, And also some facts about it!

Tonga is a place located in New Zealand it is also a part of the pacific ocean, Rugby is the most famous sport in Tonga. Tonga was first discovered in 1616, It was founded by Abel Janszoon Tasman.

Tonga is also know as the "Friendly Islands". Tonga mostly consists of flats islands with limestone bedrock. Tonga's population was only 103,197 in 2018 and now at 2020 it only went u by 2000+. If you love animals you'll be excited to know that Humpback whales often travel to Tonga waters to give birth or breed so it is common to see Humpback whales in Tonga. If you visit Tonga make sure not to swim or do anything on Sundays as it is illegal, Sundays in Tonga as seen as rest days and should not be spent by working.

Gravity

By - Faye

Is gravity the same on all planets? 

Gravity is what holds our world together, But it isn't the same everywhere on earth. Gravity can be slightly stronger over places with more mass underground then places with less mass.

How is gravity related to mass?

Gravity is the attractive pull between to objects that have mass. The strength of gravity depends on how much mass is in that object.

Calculate your weight on the other planets in our system (If you're not sure what your mass is, use a 30kg Labrador retriever).

If you are 30kgs your weight will be 4.98kgs on the moon but on the sun you will weigh 812.16kgs, This will not change your weight but it will just make you feel that you weigh this much because of the gravity and your mass.

How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with higher gravity? With lower gravity?

If we were to live on a planet with lower gravity the air would change as well, The air would decrease compared to the air we are breathing now and it would make it hard to breathe. Yes we may be able to live in a place that has higher gravity, As long as it is not too different from what we have here on earth. Although we may have increasing join problems and would probably face fatal injuries from falling. We may only be able to adapt to this if you develop muscles. 

Inclusiveness post - Wga

 Today we are going to be talking about inclusiveness.

How has this made you feel?

To me inclusiveness means not judging based off of what you see, Including other people even if they are different form you. What does inclusiveness mean to you?

Whenever I see certain people on social media get shamed based off of how they look or what country they are from. I feel bad because there is nothing I can do about it, I felt that they did not deserve the treatment that is being given to them just because of their ethnicity.

Are you or someone you know being judgemental? Do you think that this is an issue in relationships of any kind?

it may hurt the other persons feelings. I also think we judge people based off of what other people

tell us or what we see on social media.

Avoiding judgement of others is very important because...

It could lead into an argument, We also do not know what is going on in the other persons life. Although it may be hard we should really try to get to know someone before judging them.

Have your thoughts changed during this lesson on inclusion?

Yes my thoughts have changed and I have realised how much other people suffer because oh their ethnicity and how people generalise them.

How will you respond now in situations if you were faced with them again?

I would definitely try not to judge them or if they are being judged try to stick up for them.

Video Games

 Video games are a form of electric entertainment that allows a person to play on a device such as computers, Consoles or mobile devices. The first video game was developed in the 1940s. By 2019, the video game industry had grown to a multi billion dollar business. Despite all of the success some people criticise it for the violence or the fact that video games may lead to addiction or obesity. It is crazy how much the video game community has grown, from simple and basic dots and lines to beautiful, colourful and detailed games that looks as if it were real life. There are now many many video games out there, Like online or multiplayer, Video games are fun to play with friends.

Growth Mindset

Today we will be talking about having a growth mindset, Fixed mindset and having resilience.

Turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts

for example  - Instead of giving up think of trying new things to solve the problem and keep trying.

Keep trying until you succeed and try your best!

Having a growth mindset means not giving up and trying harder, being able to recover quickly from something difficult.
Getting back into the same state of mind in a small amount of time and thinking in a more positive perspective.

Having a fixed mindset means you tend to give up on things easily and look at things in a more negative way.

Here is an Image of what it may be like.

Design Tech Phone Stand

These past few weeks we have been trying to make our own phone stands.
While trying to make this I have learned new tools to use and how to use them.
I have learnt how to use Tinker Cad, Tinker Cad is an app used to make items that you can print out.
I have also learned how to use laser cut V8 it is another tool used to make an item and print it out.
Using laser cut V8 we managed to make a phone stand. When the phone stand was printed out of the laser cutter it was time to fold, Of course we had  to heat it so it wouldn't break once we tried folding it.
Once everything was folded and ready the phone sand was done! For my design I picked someone with planets coming out of their head, I know it sounds weird but it looked really nice to look at so I decided to pick it, The colour of our phone stand is bright pink and its also see through.
Overall I really love how the phone stand came out!

Here is the design I picked -

Comic

Today we will be talking about my arts kete journey!
Some of my favourite parts of this arts kete was being able to  draw my own characters and making my own story. I felt like I was successful in my " Hero's Journey" because I was able to complete my comics strip in the estimated time although I wished I could have done more.
Something I would change for next time is the story plan and I would probably make it fictional. I showed my CARR values by being prepared for our arts kete sessions and bring the right gear. This is my finished comics strip.

What are the parts of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy space?

Comics Strip

Today we are going to be talking about our arts kete, These past few weeks we have been working on our comics strips and trying to complete them every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

My comic is non fiction and is about a guy who is mistreated but works hard to help others deal with the same problem he is having, Soon enough he goes viral on the internet. He has a dog and a mom, My main characters name is Ed, The dogs name is Rex and I just made the moms name simple and just called her mom. Here is some of the drawings ive done (incomplete).



Story -

Ed was a boy who was mistreated by other people because of how he acts and looks, He managed to keep going even with all the hate because of his Grandma and pet dog which was his best pal. As he managed through the years he decided to change and help other people with the same problems he had. Soon enough he went viral on the internet and was hired to become an actress in a movie about his inspiring life story. As he got famous he helped a lot of people and people got inspired by him, People started getting motivated and changing themselves for the better because of Ed.  Ed was teaching people that you could be a hero without wearing a cape or having super powers, Soon enough he started his own business about well-being and applications came running in.

I hope you enjoy the slides and learn something new!

Early Encounters in Aotearoa

Abel Tasman was the first European to arrived at Aotearoa, He arrive there at 1642.

At first he named the country Nouvea Zealandia but soon changed it to Aotearoa. James Cook was the 2nd explorer to find Aotearoa, He arrived at 1769. Tupaia was the name of the chief navigator helping the explorers. The Europeans brought ship rats, pigs, diseases and potatoes. Muskets are guns they used for battles. T hey ended their battles in the late 1830's. 

Sugar

The maximum amount of sugar recommended for us is 6 teaspoons of sugar, It is recommended by the national world health organisation.

It is healthier to eat an orange instead of orange juice because in orange juice contains a lot of sugar but an orange contains less and it has a lot of fibres in it.

Three ways to avoid eating sugars are, drinking water, Checking how much sugars are in food and not drinking too much soda's.

Three things that might happen to our bodies if we eat too much sugar are, Heart and liver disease and also type 2 diabetes. 

Design Tech

This week on design tech we have been trying to learn how to make a key chain, We have also been making our designs for the key chain. Next time we go here we might be lazering our prints. I made my key chain with my name on it and put some designs on the side I chose the colour to be clear so I could see through it. So far I like my design for my key chain and I hope that it turns out good after the lazering. I might be posting the end results soon.

Here is a picture of my design, I hope you like it!

The Present

The Present 

Reflection - 

I am reflecting on a film called “The Present” here is my reflection of what happened and why I think he liked the dog at the end.

The boy didn’t like the dog because it was like him, And he wanted to play his games in the dark so he neglected the dog but the dog wanted to play. The dog was very playful and he was also curious and a bit clumsy. The dog kept on pushing and pushing the boy to play with him but the boy kept on ignoring him. As he started looking more at the dog he started liking the dog because of its qualities and it was alright that the dog looked like him, he stood up and got his crutches and walked outside, The dog finally managed to get the boy outside. I think the boy liked the dog because the dog had fun even though he had a leg missing, So I think that the dog made him realise that it was okay to have fun and go outside even if you have any difficulties and its okay to be different. 

Reading Activity

The title of the text was called Dive, The author of the story is Gina Cole. It is a book about a girl having a vacation and accidentally dropped her phone in the water, After she dropped it she realised that she can do without her phone. There are other  events that happened. I really like the story because it had a lot of events happening. 

Mars Quiz

We are stars

Hi Today we are going to be talking about "We Are Stars" it is an animation talking about how us humans were created.

Some things that I learnt from watching the animation were that we are made of stars, We were made from the dust of stars.

Also the first couple that existed were Hydrogen and Helium, They formed together and made the first atom.

Most molecules use planets as their safe place, They can also create more molecules in planets.

The Great Realisation - Working From Home

Today we are going to be talking about The Great Realisation by Tomos Roberts.
Here is the link if you haven't watched it yet!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw5KQMXDiM4&feature=emb_title

It is about Covid 19 and it talks about how humans have changed since the virus.
Before the virus hit us we didn't realise how much time apart we spent with our families, We didn't get to spend time with each other because of work and our devices. The oceans filled with garbage and air with pollution. We drove in cars but barely walked, But then a virus hit and we had no choice but to stay inside. We all started talking with our families and enjoying runs around the field or street. The beaches started to clear and and so did the air, The earth could finally take a break. As bad things happened people didn't notice all the good things. But once we found the cure and we could finally go outside we changed. We realised that we were the virus to our earth.

I really enjoyed watching The Great Realisation you should go and check it out!

Ends Meat Weekly Menu - Working From Home

This week I've been doing our Making Ends Meet challenge, I made a weekly menu and priced the items in my menu,I then added the prices up and added the total. The weekly menu is for ideas on what you could have for breakfast, lunch or dinner and how much you may spend on a meal.

Covid-19 level 2 lock down NZ - Working from home

- People will not be allowed to make contact with strangers only.

- When we will be moving to level they will try to get as much people back to work.

- Wearing the right equipment when outside.

- Washing you hands after going outside and cleaning yourself.

- Trying not to touch as much stuff or not letting other people your stuff.

- You will be allowed to go to family and friends house but just in small amounts of people.

- If schools are planning to open they must open the following week of when they have announced it.

- Stores may start to open.

I like that you will now be able to visit family and friends I also like the fact that stores may be opening again so people who need certain things can buy they're needs . School may be opening again and I like that they are doing it the following week of the announcement instead of just immediately to make sure nothing would happen if the school started. The only downside about level 2 lock down is that there may be a lot of people going out to malls and meeting they're family members and friends.

Story -

One eery night 3 friends Julie, Rae & Zack decided to go camping in a forest in the middle of nowhere. After hours and hours of driving to their location they decided to take a break at the side of the road merely away from the forest, as they were falling asleep Julie heard a whisper coming from outside of the car, She thought to herself that it was probably just her from all the hours of driving she must’ve just been hearing things, right?Morning struck and they were on the road again. As they were jamming to some music from the radio Julie remembered the whisper she heard last night, she quickly got it out of her head thinking she was just hallucinating last night. After an hour of driving they finally arrived to the forest. They decided to set up the camp, After hours and hours of setting up camp they were drained. As soon as the tents were set up they slept immediately until morning came. They woke up to the sun beaming into their eyes blinding them, Julie put her hat on and went outside to go and wake up her friends. After they were all awake they had some breakfast, But Julie heard the whisper again, this time coming from deep inside the woods, She quickly looked behind her, No one was there. Rae called her name repeatedly but Julie seemed to not hear her shouting her name, Rae tapped Julie's shoulder and it gave Julie quite a fright. As the hours passed night came and it was time to go to bed, As they were about to sleep Zack came to Julie and Rae’s tent. He woke them up and asked if they wanted to go with him and look around the forest, They both said yes. As they walked inside the forest Julie felt a chilling feeling, She looked at Zack and Rae and they also seemed to get the same feeling. They walked deeper and deeper…. Suddenly they heard a rustling in the forest, 3 of them came closer together and they felt as if someone was watching their every move. As they looked around Julie saw something from the corner of her eye, It was terrifying, It had a black foggy body and It had red beady eyes that looked as if you looked at it, it would stare straight into your soul. We desperately ran barely breathing, We screamed at the top of our lungs but it was no use, we were in the middle of nowhere not knowing where to go. As I looked to the left 1 of my friends had disappeared, I had no choice but to keep running. Julie stopped and hid behind a nearby rock and gasped for air. Julie looked to the right and saw Zack running past her, Julie couldn't help him because the creature was right behind him… The creature grabbed Zack and he suddenly disappeared, Julie covered her mouth to keep her from making any noise. While the creature was busy Julie took her chance and ran for her life, She saw smoke coming from the distance, It must be our campfire!  Julie ran and ran, she finally made it back, she felt relieved when she got out of the forest but didn't stop, instead grabbed her phone to call emergency services, As she waited for them to pick up she locked herself in the car. They finally picked up, she reported what happened, good thing the police station was only an hour away. She looked back to the forest and saw the creature looking straight at her, But the creature seemed to not be able to pass the forest. She sighed in relief and took a rest in her car. She woke up to sirens coming, She ran out of her car, It seemed like nobody noticed her, She shouted and shouted but no one heard her. She walked in front of someone but the person walked right into her, She started to panic and looked at her reflection in the side mirror of a car, But she couldn't see her reflection, It was then that she realised she was dead.
I hope you enjoyed my story! Feel free to leave feedback for me. :)Thanks for reading!

Wolves DLO - Working from home

DLO - Wolves

By: Faye

Wolves are very cute but they can also be dangerous. How can they be dangerous? Well there are a lot of reasons why they are dangerous. Here are some interesting facts I learnt while researching about wolves.

There are a lot of wolf breeds, some extinct, but the most dangerous type of wolf are gray wolves. Gray wolves can weigh from 75 lbs - 200 lbs, they’re length can be from 105-160 cm and they’re body height can go from 80-85 cm. Wolves are carnivores, they eat meat as they’re food source. Wolves can run as fast as 50 - 60 km/h.Wolves howl to assemble they’re pack, they usually howl before or after hunts. Wolves also have 200 million cent cells and they can smell something 1.75 miles away from them.

Sneaglegator - Working from home

This week for one of my tasks I decided to draw a sneaglegator. Now you might be wondering what a sneaglegator is,Sneaglegator are similar to snakes, eagles and alligators. They are the size of a cat and are covered with slimy scales and thick feathers. Adult sneaglegators are usually dark green they can use they're colour to camouflage in with greenery. Young sneaglegators are born with a blue tinge to their scales with no feathers. They are usually found in rain forests and they make nests high up in the trees. They hunt during the night making it hard for humans to spot them. Most rain forest animals usually adapt to the rain but sneaglegators hide under trees to keep they're feather dry. Sneaglegators usually don't need water because they get the moisture from they're prey. Sneaglegators are carnivores but they love eating bananas. Even though sneaglegators have big wings they cannot fly instead they jump from tree to tree. Very few humans have seen the sneaglegator but scientists believe that sneaglegators are harmless to humans. Due to their similarities to animals they are mistaken for another animal that people hunt.
Here are two of my drawings of what I think a sneaglegator might look like.

Creative Writing - Working from home

Lost In The Forest.

Made by : Faye 

(This week for my task from working from home I decided to do creative writing, I  chose this picture to make a story out of.) Me and my friend were on our way to visit one of our relatives that lives in a different city. We figured that we would just take our car to go to our relatives house. As we were driving we turned on the radio to listen to some tunes, We parked by the side or the road to take a rest, since we’ve been driving for a couple of ours now. A few hours went by… I suddenly woke up to a honking sound, I looked if anyone was behind us, sure enough there was a car coming right at us, I passed out due to the impact of the car hitting us. A few minutes passed…. I woke up to a high pitched buzzing sound in my ear, It took me a second to realise that we had crashed in the forest, I didn't know where and how far we were from the road. I woke up my friend as fast as I could, Thankfully she woke up and we checked if the man in the car that crashed into us was okay, but he was a goner, We sprinted as fast as we could to get away from the crashed cars because it looked as if they were going to explode any time soon. We finally found a place to rest for the night and decided to solve things tomorrow. Morning hit with the bright sun beaming into my eyes, I noticed the bruises and cuts on my body but at that point it didn't matter anymore, I was focused on getting out of the forest. My friend finally woke up and we tried to think of a plan on how to get out. As the hours passed by we we’re getting hungry our tummy hurt from the starvation, we tried to fight it but we couldn't, we desperately looked for food, after a few minutes of looking, we found some berry bushes and started eating them. It was the next day and we had finally thought of a plan, Our plan was that we would gather small stones and split up, we would then use the stones as a path to lead us back if we got lost, We used our shirts as a bag to carry the tiny stones with us. We both went in our own paths, it took me a while to find it but eventually I found it, I sprinted back and told my friend that I finally found the road, We sprinted back in a hurry to the road. Night approached as we waited for a car to pass by. I was about to fall asleep when I heard something coming from a distance, It was a car! Me and my friend waved the car down and he stopped to pick us up. We told him to call emergency services and asked if we could stay here until they came. As we waited the man gave us food to eat, As we were eating we heard sirens coming from the road, We waved it down and they came to us. They put me and my friend in the cabin of the ambulance van, we were so happy to finally be able to get home. After a few days our bruises and scratches were finally gone. We were lucky to have been able to survive the incident.

Mexican Quesadillas - Food tech (February)

This week on food tech we had Mexican week,
we cooked quesadillas and nacho mince but to day we are going to be talking about the quesadillas.
We went to food tech early so we could get started. First we prepared the fillings  to put in side the quesadillas, After we prepared the filling we started heating up the pan with oil to cook the quesadillas,
Once it was all heated up we yup the quesadilla in and started spreading the quesadilla with the oil, one we left it in for 1 minute the we put the filling in then we carefully spread the cheese in the middle of the quesadilla  and put the other side of the quesadilla on top of the filling. We checked if the quesadilla was golden brown and flipped it, we check if the other side was done and it was!
We repeated what we did with the other quesadilla, I couldn't wait to have a bite of it. Once we were all done we me and my team finally got to taste the quesadillas, They tasted  very delicious, I would recommend making them since they are very easy to make and very delicious, I would definitely make them in the near future.

Working from home - What are my thoughts on the new kahui space?

My thoughts about our new kahui space -

I love our new kahui space because.....

It is very spacious and there are a lot of rooms for classes. There is also a bunch of new things inside that are very useful for the students and teachers. I also love sitting on our teared seating seats so we don't have to sit on the floor all the time when our teachers gather us.I also like how they put the three of the kahui's together so we don't have to walk far for some of the subjects we have.Overall I really liked how the kahui's turned out.

Working from home - book mark

During the lock down I created a book mark that can be given in the library at our school.

Rice Ball - Food Tech

On Friday we had food tech,
Me and my team tried doing a rice ball without instructions from the teacher, except we had instructions on a paper sheet.
At first it was a bit difficult to make the rice ball but me and my team managed to make the rice balls.
Once it was all set and made we had a competition on who had the best rice ball, we ended up being 2th place.
After food tech was over it was time to eat the rice ball!
Me and my friends took it out of our lunch box and started eating it, it tasted delightful
there was just the right amount of vegetables and meat in the rice ball, the rice tasted very lovely because we put the right amount of vinegar in.
Overall I really loved the rice ball and I could tell my friends loved it as much as I did.
You should definitely try this at home, it is very easy but very delicious.
