Food Tech

Hi,
In Food Tech we baked muffin and it turned out really good, it was perfect and I really liked it. My group work was good and we were all working together and we finished baking on time. I will rate my group work 5 out of 5. The Muffin tasted so good and I don't know what it taste like but you can taste the meat and the beaten egg that is mixed. The texture of the Muffin was very good it was crunchie on the outside and soft in the inside. What I think I did best was cutting the bacon into pieces and the bacon was stretching but I still continued cutting it. Here is a photo of a Muffin that we have made.

Reading

In reading I have read about the lack of pigeons so I thought in the story it's about the lack of pigeons. But it was different it was a girl that is going to an audition and talking to stranger that is with here in the train. We also had to answer some questions about the book so here is what I did and I also did a drawing that is part of the story.

Hurumanu Drama

Hi,
In Hurumanu I have wrote a letter to the character from the story. In this activity we could choose what were doing we can either do filming or write a letter to the character. So I wrote a letter from a scene that is saying that I am sorry because the story scene is that the the kid almost drowned. Here is the letter that I have made.

Hi My name is Benny and I am sorry if your son nearly drowned in the beach.

I am asking for forgiveness. All I was trying to do was try to save your son but

not trying to drown him. His kayak got tipped over because of me.

I was pushing my friend to the water

to get more splash but I did it at the wrong timing. I am so sorry Mam for your

son. I hope you and your son are doing well now.

                                                                               To: Mam

Maori

Hi,
In Maori this is what I have done and I wrote about the whale rider that we have done here it is.

I thought that the whale rider would be like a person riding a whale and saving some person that is drowning. But it was different from what I thought it was like a culture from the early age that has been passed down to the generation today The little girl in the story has been chosen to be a leader but she just did not turn out to be leader easily. She dove under the water and got the whale's tooth that had been thrown under the water by his grandfather. Then she heard her grandfather trying to speak to the ancestor and their ancestor couldn’t hear her grandfather so she tried speaking to the ancestor and it worked. But it was a disaster the whales were running out of breath because they were on the shore of the beach. Then her grandfather called the whales and called the other people to help him move the whales back to the beach water but they couldn’t push back the whales because they were too tired to move. When her grandfather saw the whale leader they tried pushing the whale with all the other people. Then the little girl rode the whale and it moved by itself back to the little girl but the little girl drowned.

Maori

Hi,
In Maori we have to research about the Matariki stars. What I did is go on google and search to find information here is what I have done.

The Matariki stars begins to show up in late March or early June that is when the stars start to show up on the night sky. The names of Matariki stars are

• Alcyone the matariki eyes of Tawhirimatea
• Atlas Tupu-a-rangi, sky tohunga
• Electra Waipuna a rangi sky spring
• Taygeta waiti sweat water
• Pleione Tupu a nuku Earth tuhunga
• Merope Ururangi entry heavens 
• Mai Waita Sprinkle of water

So that is the 7 names of the Matariki. Maori people also use matariki to predict the weather they used the stars from a long long time ago. Matariki is a celebration that is about spending time with your family and Matariki is also a agricultural.

Moari also plants something before the Matariki and when the Matariki shows up it is there time to harvest the plant that they have planted. The Matariki stars are really important because it is the time to restart the maori calendar.

Philippines Independence Day

Magandang umaga

So in Wananga we have to blog about Philippines Independence day. So what I did is search up on google for some information about Philippines Independence day. What I found out was the Philippines Independence day was in June 12th 1998 if you don't know who was the first person to rise the Philippines flag it was Emilio Aguinaldo. The flag of the Philippines has a meaning like the blue and red colour of the flag means the state of war. Independence day means in the Philippines Araw-ng kaliyaan or in English day of freedom and the rest of the design was made by Emilio Aguinaldo.

In Independence day the filipinos go to a cultural plays and concerts during Independence day It is great to celebrate the day of the freedom. Philippines also does parades during the Independence day the parade in the Philippine the military and the police nation wide goes to the capital city Manila they do the parades.

Filipino cooks famous dish adobo they eat it during the araw ng kaliyaan or in english day of freedom here is what is the food looks like. Filipinos also does salo salo it means  eating together in one huge group and at the same time filipinos celebrate the Independence day.

In Hurumanu we did Hot seating so Hot seating is when one person seats in a chair and answer the questions. The other people watching is going to ask the person seating on a chair five questions. So in my group we have made a short video an example of Hot seating here is what we did.

Hi,

So here is another activity that we have done is drama. We started doing Picture Dictation, Picture Dictation is a part of a story that you draw in a piece of paper and put some words at the bottom of the paper. But first you have fold the piece of paper into 6 boxes and put the numbers then draw what happened first then what happened next and last. For example the story that the teacher readed to us is about  Benny and we have to listen carefully and draw the important parts of the paragraph here is the Picture Dictation that I have done.

We also did Role in the wall activity role in the wall. Roll in the wall is an activity that you draw a person's shape and put the emotions in the inside person's body shape. What you put is what the character's feeling and on the outside you put what the character is like. For example Benny is feeling angry annoyed on the outside the person knows that Benny is Big Fat to keep himself warm Here is what it looks like.

The lasting we did is Ice Berg. How did we do the Ice Berg we have a piece of paper and there is a water that is halfing the Ice Berg. So at the top of the water you have to write what the people knows about you. At the bottom of the Ice Berg you put what the people does not know about you here is what it looks like.
