How many blog posts I do a year

The chart above explains how many blog posts I've done a year. The yellow is 2017, the red is 2018 and the blue is 2019. I only did 5 blog posts in 2017!!!! Next year I am going to change by blogging a LOT more!!!! Maybe to improve I will remind myself to do one blog post a day. To be BTB (Better Than Before) I will start doing quality blog posts so more people can look and comment on my blog.

Garden Boxes with our Teina

Lately, we have been building garden boxes. We finished about 2 weeks ago and have been filling them with soil and fruits and veggies. The top photo is me, my friend and our buddies working on the garden boxes. The bottom photo is my garden box done!!! We had to use lots of different tools and it took quite a while. I really enjoyed hammering all the nails in and having fun. I also found it challenging to hammer the nails in as the wood was really hard!!

This is our finished garden box!! I'm the girl in the back and I felt very proud.

Making ready salted chips

P.S We don't have any photos of the process
W.A.L.T To determine what method makes the crispiest and tastiest chips.
Last week we teamed up with another group and we made some ready salted chips. Our group did the microwave chips while the group that we teamed up with did the oven chips.

Food Tech

W.A.L.T Explain the science behind making Hokey Pokey.

Lately, we have been making and baking food while the year 7's in our class have gone to high school to do fun things like baking, technology, sewing and more. This term we get to do baking and we made Hokey pokey. To make it we needed 3 simple ingredients, Golden syrup, White sugar, and baking soda. I really enjoyed when we were making it because it smelled amazing!!!! I found it challenging to get the Hokey pokey onto the tray on time. The way that the science works is that the golden syrup gives the hokey pokey the flavor while the baking soda releases air into the mixture allowing it to rise. One thing that would make it BTB (Better than Before) is by taking it out of the pan a wee bit faster so it doesn't burn.

Bella and Georgia's shot techniques

WALT To show people different shots. We found it challenging to get some of the shots. We enjoyed being on camera and having so much fun. Today our teacher set us a task to get 6 shots and blog them and we were up to the challenge. We decided we would take turns of taking the photo. Some of the photos were really fun and some were really hard and challenging. We hope you learned something out of this.

Transformation using grids

 The other day our Toki pounamu teacher came in and decided that we are going to be doing a project that contains one tool on Google Drive. We used a 5x5 grid and had to use the line button to make a replica of the little picture on the left. This is how mine turned out. I found it hard to get the right shape of the boxes. I enjoyed when something worked perfectly. Have you ever tried this? If yes how did it work out?

How To Play Go Fish

 How To Play Go Fish

Equipment: Stack of cards, 2 or more people

Goal: To get as many pairs as you can.

How to play: So first you and your opponent need to have 5 cards each and a pile of the remaining cards in the middle… But don't show anyone your cards. Then you're going to need to check if you have any pairs. If you don't then don't do anything but if you do you put the pairs down (By the way, if you ever have one card left then pick up another card from the pile.) Now the oldest can start and it will go anti-clockwise from there. The oldest says to the person on their left “Do you have a King (or any card).” So then the person to your left says either “ Yes.” and gives you the card or says go fish. Go Fish means they don’t have that card and you need to pick up and then the person you just asked asks the person on their left. If the card you pick up is one of the cards you need to make a pair with you get those two cards and put them to the side. If they say yes you need to match them up and put them to the side with the other cards. I hope you enjoy playing Go Fish!!
