Six-Sentences Story

Once Upon a Time there was a handsome boy named JayJay. He lived in a small cabin with the sight of a nearby river. He was a poor boy but he had the ability to heal anyone who was injured. The problem was, no one believed he was able to do this. He felt betrayed, but one day he saw a girl bleeding to death. He decided to heal the girl in front of the whole village, and that’s when the people made a celebration about this amazing save, and gave him the label, Chief.

Hangi In The Oven?

This is the 2nd to last week for cooking which is a bit sad but at least I'll get to cook these in the future. Today we made a Hangi, which is a traditional Maori food. It's where people cook food under the ground, and steam it up. I'm not quite sure how it actually works but the food somehow doesn't taste like dirt. Since we can't do it under the ground, we are going to be cooking it in the oven. If you would like to learn how to cook it, here is your instructions.

🍫Chocolate Cake🍫 (Gone Wrong)

Just a normal Tuesday, the Year 8's went to Tech/Tamaki College. Today we got to make Chocolate Cake but something went wrong. I accidentally put too much water in the batter mix, which made it watery. Surprisingly, I kept mixing it and it didn't turn out bad. It was a bit watery but the mix was still good so we still put it in the oven. My advice to all of those bakers and readers out there, don't be stupid like me and listen to your teacher/parent when cooking/baking. If you would like to know how to make this cake then here we go:

📀German Folk📀

This term we have been doing a rotation in team 5. This week, Room 3 is in Room 1 doing German Folk/D'hammerschmeids. The dance is new and creative, it's similar to hand games. All you do is grab a partner and start doing a hand game. If you've ever played Slime Yuck Yuck before, then it'll be really easy for you. This is one of the easiest dances I've learnt. Make sure to try this dance out because it's something new and fun. While we were doing this dance, Mrs Moala recorded us so if you would like to see what we did, here it is.

DNA - Proteins

Task Description -

Whaea Kelly hasn't been coming to school for the past few days since she is sick, but today we had Mrs Ilaoa. Our little project we had to do was doing some research about DNA.

This is some of the interesting things I found out about Proteins. I hope you learnt something new from my research.

🍅Vegetable and Bean Paddies🍅

Not much people like vegetables and that's a fact. It either taste weird or looks weird, but if you make these paddies, it'll be something different. These paddies aren't regular paddies you buy from pak n save or mad butchers, these paddies are one of a kind so let me tell you, they taste different but really good. At first, Calais and I thought it sounded a bit weird, but it turned out to be really nice. Don't judge something by what it looks like.

Ingredients -
Butter Beans
Zucchini
Red Pepper/Capsicum
Carrot
Red Onion
Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs

Step 1 - Mash the butter beans until it looks like mashed potato.
Step 2 - Grate the Zucchini, Red Pepper & Capsicum (but it might be hard to grate it).

Step 4 - Add all your vegetables to your bowl and mix.
Step 5 - Make your paddies and put some bread crumbs on it to stop the sticking.

Experiment With Onion Cells

Aim:

Finding a clear picture of onion cells?

Hypothesis:

The magnification I think we’ll be able to the onion cells is 40.

Equipment:

1 Onion

A Slide

A Cover Slip

Tweezers

A Blue Stain

Method:

Firstly, we peeled a thin layer of onion with the tweezers. We put the thin onion
layer on top of the slide Mrs Stone gave us, we put 2 drops of saline on top of onion to smooth it down. Next, we put 2-3 drops of blue stain on the slide. Mrs Stone gave us a cover slip to put on top of the onion/slide to cover it and then it was ready!

Observation:

For my point of view, It looked like wings but specific types of wings. It looked like
insect wings or fly wings. There’s lines everywhere that connect with each other
and little dots in between some of those gapes.
