Kokako infographic

For camp we went to the kokako lodge and now Im going to be showing you a infographic about the kokako bird. A infographic has four parts to it. Diet, habitat, predators, and appearance. Also I have put down three facts about the kokako bird. One fact is to protect their territories kokako birds sing. 

Mince and cheese filling

Today for tech we made mince and cheese filling for our pie. In order to make our filling we need these ingredients mince, soya sauce, water, corn flower, beef stock, onion, and oil. First you need to dice up you onion. Next you need to get 200ml of hot water and tip it into our half a cup of corn flour and mix it together. After that get another 200ml of hot water and get beef stock and mix it together in that you should add soya sauce. When you have mixed everything together get your pan and measure 1 tablespoon of oil into your pan. Place your diced up onions into your pan and fry them for a couple of seconds then add your mince into the pan. Now mix them all together now add little by little of your beef stock. Now there is only little bit of beef stock then you tip it all into the pan and carry on mixing it together. With you corn flour water add tiny spoons into your pan to make it more thicker. Now were done using the beef stock and the corn flour water. Turn the oven off and tip the filling into a container until you make your pastry for the pie. I can´t wait till next week.

Camp group collage

This week my group created a camp collage. This collage shows what my group have been doing. Working as a team make things much more easier.

Tennis and futsal

We were lucky enough to go down to Riverside sports to play tennis and futsal. We have been learning about futsal for quite a bit time but have never played tennis. Nevile was our instructor for tennis. He is very experienced because he has been teaching in America. We learnt to easy words. "Hit and bounce" In Futsal we just had a full on game. For futsal my group won both games. I was really happy but well done to everyone. Thank you Martin and Nevile.

Camp - Day one to four

Last week LS2 went to camp. These photos are about what I have been doing from day one to day four. Camp was really fun. Day one to day four is all on my DLO.

Scary flying kiwi...

As I sprinted up and down the slippery, rocky hill my heart beat faster than a cheetah. Aaaah! It’s my turn. I ran to the instructor, put on my harness and tightened it up. I checked my harness if it was stable more than 100 times.
"Kiwi are you ready?"
"YES I AM!"
I shut my eyes and prayed, that’s how frightened I was!

I was dragged up into the air like a plane taking off. I screamed at the top of my lungs. WOW! I was flying just like a bird. I did some bird positions. As Ms Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson came, they asked me to sing Rattlin Bog while I was up in the air. I started singing. I had two goes because they said I didn’t look that happy the first time. But on my second go I became more happy.

At the end of the day I was exhausted. I really had fun with the flying kiwi. I wanted to go for a sleep but we needed to do more things. Camp was really enjoyable. I honestly want to go back.

Last week the year 7's and 8's went on camp to Kokako Lodge. This recount is about the flying kiwi. The flying kiwi was really scary that is why my title is the scary flying kiwi. I hope you enjoyed reading my recount. This was a 5 minute recount about my favourite thing that I did.

Hunua Ranges (CAMP)

Today I was working on my map. On my map it shows Papakura wave pools, Hunua Ranges, My house, Panmure bridge school. These are places where we will be going during camp. Camp is at the Hunua Ranges. 

Decimal numbers

We had maths for the middle block. In Ms Kirkpatrick's group we were learning about decimals. We had eight questions to answer and if we got one wrong we had to stay on the mat and do another eight. After we had decimal questions with Ms Kirkpatrick we all played a decimal number game. This game is really fun. Maybe you should play it too. 

Agent of change

On the last slide of our DLO it shows what we were learning.  I was working with Magenta, Jorja, and Mishaan. We all worked collaboratively as a team.  

Tech

Today at Tamaki College, the year eights had their cooking lesson. I worked with Sylis again. Last week we made mini quiches so today we made bigger ones. The ingredients we needed were onions, cream, cheese, bacon, flour, egg and butter. We diced the bacon and butter. We mixed the egg and cream together and the flour and butter together. Once we finished that we got our trays and put all our ingredients in. We waited for around 15 to 20 minutes. When it came out it smelled delicious. Thank you Ms Heka.

Showcasing life at Pbs

Today, I have finished my Blog post on Showcasing life at PBS. Most of these photos were at the beginning of the year because of the delay of posting up my Care Awards. 

Eako

Today my main focus for eako was Place Value.  I had fun learning my place values on eako maths. Eako maths is fun to use. I really enjoyed it.

Omaru River

Our main inquiry focus today was about the Omaru River this river is located in East Auckland , Glen Innes. We were talking about the positive side affects and the negative side affects. To share our thinking we had to make a DLO about it and add some images to kind of back up our positives and negatives. The blockages in the river can make the water stagnant which can make the water dirty and polluted. Mishaan and I worked together.

Maths

Today I played fruit splat. Fruit splat is a game that shows you the greatest common factor. When I was playing this game I didn't know what to do because it was my first time. Fruit splat is a fun site. I really enjoyed playing this game about the greatest common factor. 

Eako

Today I did eako maths. Today I was learning about fractions. I had to drag these images to its right places. Using eako is much more fun because it is a digital learning site. I had fun using eako maths because I learn more and it is a online.

Tech

Today we had our second session with Ms Heka doing food tech. Today we mad chicken kebabs and  potatoe salad. Mishaan and I worked together to make our chicken kebabs and potatoe salad. First we had to grab out equipment. Mishaan and I shared our jobs. Mishaan had to go and get the bowl of potatoes and spring onion and one egg. After Mishaan went to get the bowl I went to grab the bowl of chicken. Then we went to get everything else. Now Mishaan was up to frying the bacon and I was up to cutting up the chicken into little squares. Mishaan and I now mixed the chicken and the sauce together. Now we were up to the part when you put the chicken through the skewers.  In the oven it goes. Its back out. I really enjoyed having tech.
