My Fantastic Hangi Experience !

On a rainy Wednesday 9TGN were preparing a Hangi for our class. Straight after assembly we got chaged and went to the Wharekai to where we would preparing the Hangi. When we got there we put 4 potato pieces,2 pieces of kumara pieces, 2 pieces of carrot in the foil containers. The containers already had one chunky piece of beef and one drumstick, so we were finished. Before wrapping a group of boys, Mr Dunn and the kaumatuas left to start up the fire. Quickly, we wrapped the hangi we stacked it in a box and walked in the rain over to Z block to the fire. The Hangi would be cooked by the heat of the fire on top of it to cook. We left the boxes of Hangi with the men and then we left back to the Wharekai to get changed and wait for the bell to ring. We heard the sound of the bell ring and we were dismissed. The outcome of the meal was delicious. Making a Hangi is fun.    

French Toast

On Thursday at food tech, we made french toast. For French Toast we needed bread,eggs and milk. I found cooking easy. The turn out of my meal was very good because it was golden and brown, and that was the colour we had to aim for. 

What & how I learnt the science behind my traits

In my Perry the pear investigation, Meafou, Henrietta and I took bill bob banana and mashed him to get his DNA to see if it matches the DNA that the killer left on Perry the pear. We then poured it in to a test tube then we added 3 drops of detergent and some salt and mixed it in a beaker. We then added everything into a test tube. We then placed the test tube in the incubator. It turns out that Billy Bob Banana didn't murder Perry the pear, it was Bob the blue berry. RIP (Gone but, never Forgotten).   2001 - 2018 Sunrise to sunset. Perry the pear.

DNA is found in any type of cell. 3 Traits that I have are Wavy hair,chubby fingers and black hair. To figure out a trait that you inherit from your parents are to see if you have dimples or if you have a bum chin then go to your parents and see if they have it or can do it.

I inherit from my mother is her black wavy hair and little bit of brown. This is caused by chunks of DNA that have instructions for my hair, or it can be cause by the protein that I eat.

My First Exam Exam Experience

Going into exams I felt hungry, because I wanted to eat some more lunch. The exam tips I used going into exams were getting a good night sleep, rewatching Our Small World video and staying hydrated. During exams I felt great because I wasn't expecting the questions to be easy, I guess? I was just thinking that there was going to be a challenging question for example, Do you think it was easy for Hegalo to leave Tokelau and Do you think Tolise will ever find a husband. The one tip I used during the exams was breathing. After exams I felt happy because that was my 3rd exam down and one more to go. After we were dismissed I treated myself with some sweet thai chili doritos and watched my favourite show, Rupaul's Drag Race. Rupaul's Drag Race is a reality, competition and fashion tv show, where a group of drag queens compete for the crown of America’s Next Drag Superstar and winning 100,000 dollars. In my next exam I would do nothing different.

Tonga

The counntry I chose to look at is Tonga. I chose Tonga because I know more about that country and I think it would be cool if I was the only one to do it because everyone else is choosing forien countries.

AUCKLAND'S NEW VOLCANO

WALT" Write an interesting and informative story about experiencing a fake Auckland  eruption.

I was outside gardening when I saw this very enormous black demonic cloud in the air,  down near the beach. I shouted to my family "come on we need to get out of here!" We got in the car and drove off, but as soon as we left I saw pyroclastic surge at the speed of lighting running across the beach coming on to land. My family thought that this was the worlds ending but I said no it's just the magma beneath the crust was melting the crust too much it caused it to burst out that's why this is happening. We got to the top of Mt wellington and watched as the pyroclastic surge cover the land like a black blanket . Time went past and the blanket started to fade, the land was covered in black ashes like a bunch of lice on a sofa. As we stood we saw a new island form not to far away from the beach but just enough for us to see. The new island was made of cooled lava and it was black. The city was ruined and as we stood from the moutain hearing a lot of sirens and a lot of crying.

THE JOURNEY!?

The main purpose of Nathan and Oscar’s trip was to find out where they are from,
visit the places where the ancestors once stood on .

Some of the interesting discoveries that they came across on their journey
were in Rarotonga they went to where the Takitimu stood before it took of to sea.
From my point of view i think that it was cool to learn about those islands but I
did wish that one of them were from Tonga.

Tectonic plates

WALT: Describe a recent earthquake, it's effects and cause

Today we did a group reading about the Christchurch earthquake and my group learnt that it was a 6.3 magnitude earthquake and 185 people died. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movements. We used sandwiches to model the plates and we spreaded jam under the bread to model as the mantel. I learnt when the tectonic plates rub against each other it starts a earthquake and the mantel rise in between and forms a new rock.
