My candy tower

WALT to make a really tall candy tower.
On Thursday, The last week of school, Me, the one in the back, and my friend made a candy tower. We had to try to use science to keep it up and it only just stayed up. We used raw spaghetti and poked the lollies through the spaghetti. It was annoying because the spaghetti kept snapping.  We used lollies and toothpicks to help keep it up by putting the toothpick in the lollies and the other side of the toothpick to keep the marshmallows up. I found it challenging to keep the tower up. I enjoyed eating it at the end. Next time to be BTB (Better Than Before) Lucy and I will not use spaghetti to keep it up... we'll use skewers.

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.
