Money, Money, Money

Malo e Leiei

Today we had KPMG come to Edmund Hillary school, they came to room 1 and 2, their names were Tanner, Ellie, Martha and Poppy. There were four of them in each class. They came to teach us about finances, saving money and also how to use money. They also gave us a booklet to write on. They all helped us when doing the quizs and learning what are the difference between Wants and Needs. Wants are like things you want but don’t need, for an example loilles, snacks, devices are wants but not needs. Needs are like things you really need like food, shelter just thing you need to survive. We did a quiz about what they teached us to see who was listening then we had to stand were we think the answer is, there were ten questions all together, if we got a question right we got a loille, everyone got one at the end so no one was left out. After every thing two students came and gave a speech to the KPMG for ever thing they did for us all these years. We made them cards that we signed before they came to our class. They were really happy about the cards.

Week 8 Tech | Edible, Sherbet powder.

Kia ora,

On Monday, we had to check on our plants for both hydroponic and traditional soil planting. After that we write our observations on the two plants, my hydroponic wasn’t really growing and I still haven’t figured out why. Besides that we had to something edible and interesting.

You know when drinks fizz? yes that’s what we’re trying to recreate, the fizz, the sourness and sweetness; like the lollies that pop inside your tongue when its untouched with saliva? we made it like that, but more different. Something like gunpowder and finger dipping.

Firstly we got given a paper on which recipe we wanted to do; either citric acid or baking soda. I chose citric acid because I didn’t really know what baking soda was gonna be? We also had to wrote a hypothesis and get three cups. About the recipe, there was three.

Recipe A: control 1:1 (  same amount of citric acid and baking soda, sweet and sour )

Recipe B: High bass ( more citric acid than baking soda )

Recipe C: High Sugar ( more amount of sugar combined with both citric acid and baking soda )

For my own opinion, recipe C uses e

xtra sugar for sweet, nostalgic candy powder, especially for A.  I didn’t really like B because it was sour and tasted a little bitter.

Mixing citric acid and baking soda creates that fizz because it’s an acid-base reaction that releases carbon dioxide when it touches moisture or saliva.

Lastly, It was yum because it tasted like Raro but lime flavored. I’m hoping to recreate it next time when I can. Thank you!

should the year 7&8 with the year 5&6 have a separaent pg

Percy/9/9.26


Yes we should have a separate pg to our the year 7&8 pg and we can play with other friend and to make new friend and and tell them what you like and what you like to do and play with the new size and we can be the one to play on the pg we need one because we can go on it everyday but if there is no one on the pg we can be the one on thee pg if the year&6 is not on it we can go on the page but there is one thing the ye&6  Is not allowed is the zip line is not for the ye&6 it is for the y&8 but the pg is for the ye&8 will like a pg for our school but it is the ye&8 and the ye&6.

 

Why do we need a pg to our sauce?

Because we need move people to play and move thing for the ye&8 because they need move pg in our school for the little people to play and they need Space in the playground is the thing we need because we need one to play and make new friends and we can do move thing like play on the pg and basketball if they like o play i have this one friend he name is just and he like playing basketball but all the time

Tech – Steam ( Week 8 )

Greetings & Salutation viewers, today in this blog I will be discussing my experience at Tech today. So come with me on this experience of summarizing my experience at Tech today.

In the afternoon, as usual room 9 and 10 lined up in separate groups representing the tech crew. And when we stood up we started to march over to Papakura intermediate. Now this was an every-Monday sort of programme that we do every Monday at least once a week. So we walked past the aromatic bakeries and made our towards the school. Once we arrived we went into our separate lines once again & stood there waiting patiently for our Tech teachers. So for about 5 minutes, our teacher ” Erika ” finally came to our group and trailed us towards our usual classroom.

Then once the door was opened we rushed inside and put our bags towards the end of the wall, and immediately went to check our potted plants. My plant for hydroponics was only growing 3 little sad sprouts, but for traditional soil planting, my plant was growing successfully into about a 5 centimeter estimated plant. So we sat down and were ready to start off our session. My focus went to the whiteboard instantly and saw the creative letter ” Steam ” wrote out in different ecosystems, if you know what I mean. But I snapped myself back into focus, and started to listen to the seperate topics.

So we got a random paper-sheet full of questions and descriptions, but as I was reading it, our teacher started to talk about what we needed to do, and how we had to do this worksheet. Now I could obviously tell that it was a comparison towards the fizz measurements of every cup. So we saw the ingredients right behind us, and we started getting excited. So we grabbed three cups and wrote the measurements of each ingredients in the front base of the cup. So we made our way towards the ingredients and followed the measurements. And once we were finished I had no idea what to do next, so I predicted that we had to add water, because our ingredients were really dry. But surprisingly we were allowed to eat it raw, because it was supposed to be like that, otherwise known as “sherbert”

So we gathered more of our cups and filled them with different measurements and started to write our observations in our worksheets. Our cups were marked with letters A. B. & C. So in conclusion, my favorite well-balanced powdery sherbert was letter c, not because of the sweetness, but because of the satisfying fizz. So in STEAM we did an edible science adventure, and I hope that we get to do this in the future. Inclusive, I loved today’s session.

Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.

Scones – Food Tech!

On Monday, Year 7 and 8 headed over to technology. There was an extra buzz of excitement in the air for my group because it was our turn in the Food Technology room. We walked in to the familiar smells of the kitchen, ready to cook, but we quickly found out that today’s lesson was going to test our skills in a whole new way. Instead of a step-by-step demonstration at the front of the room, our teacher, Matua Ben, handed out the recipe sheets and gave us our mission: we had to make a batch of classic scones completely independently.
Matua Ben went over the essential kitchen safety and hygiene rules reminding us to wash our hands, tie our hair back, and put on our aprons, but once the briefing was done, he stepped back. It was entirely up to us to read the instructions, manage our time, and work together as a team to get the baking done from scratch.
At first, the kitchen was a bit chaotic as we set up our stations. Working independently meant we had to figure out our own workflow, gather the correct measuring tools, and accurately weigh out our ingredients. The recipe called for precision. We had to carefully sift the flour, cube the cold butter, and use our fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture looked like fine breadcrumbs. Matua Ben watched from a distance as we poured in the liquid, quickly mixing it with a knife to ensure we didn’t overwork the dough and end up with heavy, dense scones. After flouring our benches, we shaped the dough, cut it into perfect rounds, and arranged them closely together on the baking trays. A quick brush of milk on top, and they were ready for the roaring hot oven.
The hardest part was definitely the waiting. As the minutes ticked by, an amazing, warm aroma filled the entire Food Tech room, making everyone’s mouths water. When the timer finally buzzed, we pulled out a tray of beautifully risen, fluffy, golden-brown scones. Taking that first bite of a warm scone that we made entirely on our own was incredibly rewarding. Working without a teacher guiding our every move was a big challenge, but it proved to us how much we’ve learned.

26. Steam Father’s Day

26. Steam Happy Father’s Day

On Monday, we celebrated Father’s Day with our dads, mums, papas, or other loved ones. My dad said he loved what I made for him, and my mum was so proud of me. It was amazing to see my dad so happy! It was so awesome to connect our Father’s Day celebration with our learning about hydroponics and soil! I learned so much about how plants grow differently in nutrient-rich water compared to natural soil, and sharing all these cool new ideas with my family made the day even more special and memorable.

Afterward, we took notes on page 2 for our hydroponics and soil topic. We learned that hydroponics is a method of growing plants in water enriched with minerals, which can help them grow faster, while soil is a complex, living mixture of minerals, organic matter, air, and water. We are excited to continue tracking our seed experiment on the windowsill, where the sunlight will hopefully help them thrive over the coming weeks.

On behalf of Rooms 9 and 10, we would like to thank you for spending time with us and for appreciating our work.

We have also been learning about the suffix Anti.

Anti means against or opposite.

We made a drawing about the prefix with words and the first three words have the meaning with them.

Here is the drawing:

Can you think of any other words with the prefix Anti?

Perimeters and Length

Malo e lelei readers,

Lately, we have been learning about perimeters and lengths.
We recently took a test about different types of perimeters and their units.
We learned that a perimeter is the edge of a shape or area.
We learned that to find the whole perimeters that we had to measure two sides of a shape.
Let me give you an example:
A rectangle has two of the same sides.
Imagine one of the sides is nine centimeters and the other is four centimeters.
A you have to do is this:
Nine times two equals eighteen.
Four times two equals eight.
Then plus eighteen and eight together to get the whole perimeter.
So the whole perimeters would be twenty – six.
The test was really fun and I took a screenshot when I finished.
Here is a screenshot of the test:
Can you solve the test?
Comment below to see if your answers are correct.
I hope you enjoy the test.
I hope to hear from you in the comments.
Bye bye readers see you soon.
