My home ect work

 Today I have to make a blog post about the work we have been doing in home economics we had to create a product that we made for someone. We had to think of a person that we made the food for, My stakeholder for our product was whaea raewyn. We also made a shopping list of all the ingredients that we used. We made a time management plan of how much time it took to do each thing. My group added up the amount of food in each pack and the price then we find the amount of each ingredients we needed. We got the pricing from the countdown website.

Caramel Cookies 

½ cup butter softened

½ brown sugar

2 tb3s golden syrup

1 cup self raising flour

Method

1} Cream butter and sugar.

2}Add the golden syrup to the bowl with the creamed butter and sugar and beat until fluffy.

3}Mix in the flour to the creamed sugar until the texture is suitable to roll into balls.

4} Place on a paper-lined baking tray. allowing room for biscuits to spread.

5} Press biscuits gently with a fork and at 180C for 15 min.

The feedback from our stakeholder:

Thank you so much for the delicious Caramel cookies, I really enjoyed them.

 

The cookies had a crispy crunch to them which is my favorite texture in that type of biscuit. 

The shape, size, and thickness was even just right.

They also had a delicious caramel flavor - it was perfect. 

They were a tiny bit oily which can sometimes happen if the butter boils, this was a minor issue though.

 

Keep up the great work, I'm happy to be your taste tester anytime!

Self-evaluation: I think my group worked well but next time I think we could change ourselves a bit more.

Chinese New Year

 For the last two weeks to celebrate the Chinese new year we made a slide about their traditions what food they eat and the Myths that they believe. 

Here is the slide. 

Lucky things for Rats Colors: blue, gold, green Numbers: 2, 3 Flowers: lily, African violet, valley lily Directions of auspiciousness: southeast, northeast Directions of wealth: southeast, east Directions of love: west. Chinese new year has 12 animals 1 for every year and every 12 years it restarts. I was born on the year of the rat.

Unlucky things Colors: yellow, brown Numbers: 5, 9.

Careers Fit for Rats Because of their independence and imagination, they are suitable for creative jobs. These include authors, editors, and artists. However, if they join a team, their creative outlet may be blocked. Rats also pay attention to fine detail. They are fit for technical work, such as engineering and architecture.

ADREANLINE FOREST

 Last week on Thursday we went to the adrenaline forest. When we got there we did the safety brief and learned how to connect our harness to each obstacle. There were six-levels one was the easy and six was the hardest. 

After the safety briefing me and my friend Jacob went to level 3 and it was a fun and tricky level after that I did level 3/ 1

I use my car values by respecting the teachers and the staff.

Here is some photos.

Protests

Welcome back to my blog this week we learned about protests I learned about two protests. The first one I did was about the Vietnam war protest, did you know that there were more than 300 protests in 5 years and only a hand full were violent protests.

The second protest I learned about was the Women's suffrage did you know that women's suffragee' means? The term has nothing to do with suffering but instead derives from the Latin word “suffragism,” meaning the right or privilege to vote.

monloge

 hello welcome back to my book I'm going to show you the monologue that I am doing.

9.Pirate: Can I talk like a pirate?  Ay, matie!  Avast! Ahoy!  Aye-aye, I can!   Shiver me timbers! I can talk like a pirate better than any lily-livered, jelly-legged sea-goer that ever there once was!  I says whatever I’ve got to say in a pirate way and if any bilge-sucking buccaneer says I don’t, I’ll cleave him to the brisket!  I swear on Davy Jones’ Locker, to be a true blue pirate you’ve got to be able to load a cannon and fire it- but most important you’ve got to talk like a pirate!

Fortnite

In-class we have been doing speeches my speech is about fortnite and how you should try and play fortnite because you might like it.

In July 2012 a game was made it is called fortnite, I chose this topic because I think fortnite is a really big company and people should give it more thought on how good it is.

The game fortnite originally only had one game mode it was called save the world has players work together to defend themselves against waves of zombies. Save the world was designed to force players to scavenge for weapons and gather materials to build a base against the flood of enemies. 

After save the world they added battle royale. The concept of battle royale is similar to previous games of the genre: 100 players skydive onto an island and scavenge for gear to defend themselves from other players. Players can fight alone (Solo), with one additional player (Duos), or with a group of up to three others (Squads). As the match progresses, the playable area within the island gradually constricts, giving the players less and less room to work with. The last player or team alive wins the match.

Even you know it is free to play you can send money to make yourself look better. You can send money on vbucks the vbucks can be used to buy skins back blings, gliders, gun raps, dances, battle pass and save the world.

I think you should try fortnite because if you play it a lot you can get really good and you can earn money and make money from the game.

This is my speech about fortnite hope you liked it.

lockdown

Over the past few weeks, it has been hard because of the COVID 19. It has been hard because it is very boring and there is nothing to do.

 Some of the things that I do when I'm bored is watch a movie or a tv series on Netflix's, One other thing that I like to do when I'm bored is to go outside and run around the a few times.
