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 :)

DLO about Coconuts

 

Today, my class and I was set to complete an activity about coconuts. 

Although I knew what a coconut is I didn't know much behind it like the way they use the coconut, what each part of the coconut tree is used for, how old a coconut tree is and lots more. I had an awesome time completing this tasks with my class and I also had an amazing time learning about the coconut and lots of things its used for while writing my DLO.

Please feel free to read my DLO above.

Chameleon - Word Art

 

Today, I've created a word art that describes me and what makes me proud of my culture.

This activity was a fun and very interesting activity as we had to write down all the things that we are proud of and things that make us who we are today.

Creating a word-art is very simple, once you click on the site you will be able to add any word you would like, your favourite sports, things, cultural subjects and more. 

As you can see my picture is a chameleon, chameleon is a colour changing lizard.

This week we made fritters with salad :

Ingredients: 1 egg, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/3 flour - ( whisk ) 1 zucchini - courgette - (graze and peel )

1. Add the courgette into the egg,milk and flour and whisk.

2. Put a good amount of oil into a pan, then once whisked add into the pan any shape you want and amount you want on the pan.

3. watch carefully on your food & keep checking on it just so it doesn't burn.

This dish that we made was very delicious and nice especially with the dipping sauce (sweet chilli),  I definitely enjoyed this dish Milika & I created and absolutely had fun creating this dish with her and my class members, this was a successful day and can't wait to cook and update you again next week.

New Zealand Fern Quiz

 

Today room 6 and I, learnt about different types of native plants.

My teacher (Mrs Petersen) had us to pick a native tree that isn't the same as the others, I chose New Zealand fern. I chose this native tree because I always see this on New Zealand sport teams like rugby, netball, volleyball and more so this seemed very interesting for me.

Here is a quiz above that gives you some information about ferns, this quiz doesn't tell you everything about ferns but a little push for you to learn about ferns.

If you are interested you can always search facts and information about New Zealand ferns.

Please give my quiz above a try :)

Technology Rotation - Cooking

This week is week 4 and we've started a new rotation today. The group I'm in until we switch or rotate is cooking with Mrs Hamer, It was a fun and calm first day of cooking, I've always wanted to do cooking with Mrs Hamer especially because we didn't have her last year. Although we didn't have her last year, this year we have her and believe me it's a good feeling going into the kitchen and start cooking.

Today we didn't make much because it was our first day so Mrs Hamer just wanted to give us a little experience of how it felt like being in the kitchen and start cooking.

For today's cooking we made a smoothie :                                                                            

Ingredients: 2 tbsp yogurt, 1 cup of milk, 1 banana- peeled and sliced, 1 apple - peeled and sliced and a handful of spinach. Mrs Hamer also asked us if we wanted to add some honey/syrup into our smoothies even though it wasn't meant to be apart of our smoothie she wanted to give us a little treat to add in our smoothies, so my partner and I, Milika decided to add some syrup into our smoothie and blended it. Next thing you know it tasted amazing and the syrup went well with the smoothie.

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.
