Cooking - Term 2 - Week 7

 

This week's cooking recipe was mince with salad.

This weeks recipe was very delicious and fun, this recipe was not difficult at all in fact this was very easy and amusing. My favourite part about creating this dish is putting the mince into the pan and dicing the onion and carrots. Although the following images above is not the real picture, here is just a similar dish to what we've created today.

Recipe:

Ingredients: Mince, onion, carrots, stock cube, oil, lettuce, garlic and ginger

Dice the onions and carrots.

Set the frying pan halfway, check if its hot pour a good amount of oil. 

Then put your diced onions in the pan, let it set then add in the garlic and ginger.

Once the onions are nice and light add in the mince, stir and then leave it to cook.

(You will know when the mince is ready because there will be no pink parts, it will all be brown.)

Once it's nice and cooked add in the carrots, stir and then leave it to cook.

After that, add in your salad to your bowl,plate or container, turn down your stove and add your mince into your salad.

Finally, sit back, relax and enjoy :)

Technology Term 2

 This week back at technology has been hectic !

2 more weeks of Robotics with Mr Krishna and then we rotate, this week's subject or topic was different for us year 8s and year 7s because we normally do the same topics together but for this week Mr Krishna wanted us to have our own topic because we had already learnt and completed that task. So for our topic we had to used a site called Tinkercad, this site was a lot of fun and I also learnt some things while completing the tasks that were assigned on the site.

Our first task for this week wasn't really a task it was getting to know the site better so that we know how to use it because we usually use mblock, but then following with the first task we had to write hi,welcome or our name onto the micro-bit that activity was so cool and fun completing. Our second tasks which was the last task because we didn't have enough time to complete one of our other tasks. Our second task was called beating heart basically we had to watch a video of showing us how to make our micro-bit have its heart beating, this activity was pretty fun and cool whilst completing it with my friend.

What I learnt in Technology this term

What I learnt in robotics 2021 

This term is the last day of term 1 but we have 3 weeks left of our group then we rotate. 

I'm in the Robotics group and my teacher is Mr Krishna. These past few weeks my group and I have learnt about many amazing things for example, how to build the m-bot together and take them apart, how to put music and lights into the m-bot coding and last but not least how to move the m-bot using the following codes on the site. Most of the things I learnt was coding and learning how to play this game called the Binary Game was fun especially with my classmates, Binary Game as you can see is a game but helps me and my fellow classmates with their coding while starting the m-bot.

This week was quite busy and fun but luckily we made it through the week and had an awesome time in my robotics class. 

3 weeks left until we rotate, I had an amazing experience although I had done robotics last year it was good having a quick rewind back on what we learnt and also helping the year 7s who don't know how to code and put the coding into the m-bot.

The students in my tech group as well as me had a well served time with Mr Krishna, always playing Kahoot or Quizzes with my classmates at the end of our class, laughing and trying to beat each other to come first place and always giggling and there for each other when they need help will be a favourite memory of my second tech class of 2021.

First week back at Technology !

Kia ora Bloggers, 

Today room 6 and 7 went on their first technology together, it was great.  Before we got there Mrs Tuakoi (Room 7 teacher) assigned us to our tech groups, I'm in group D with Mr Krishna - Robotics. As you all know by my recent technology blog post I had robotics but didn't get the chance to do cooking because of our pandemic that recently happened. 

My group and I, played some coding games and had to complete on paper an who am I sheet, this tasks was mainly for our teacher Mr Krishna just so he can get to know us better. Before we got the sheet he introduced himself for example, name, how long he worked at tamaki for, and his favourite things. This was an awesome experience although I've already seen and met him last year it was a good seeing him this year and looking forward to amazing things I will be learning this term.

Don't forget to keep up with my blogs so you know what I and my group do in technology.                    Don't forget to leave a kind and thoughtful comment below :) 

Hard-Material

At Tamaki College we went to our Technology classes.
I continued doing my pewter casting and finally finished my pewter necklace and so I'm onto making a gift box just to present it to the person I am making this for. My experience during this amazing journey was lots of fun, my classmates and I loved it and hope to do it again.
I  learnt different and new skills to use in our future. 

My pewter Necklace Design 

Hard-Material

At Technology today, I continued with my pewter casting necklace. I had to finish off my first sandpaper which was 180 and now I am finally on 400. It was very hard work but I managed my way through to this stage. My design was a tik tok sign and was made for a friend of mine.  While I was making my design to look smooth, I also had to finish my report which I will show you next week. I am very proud of myself and I can't wait to see the finish product.

This is my design that I smoothed out today.
