Chocolate Muffins

For our last week of cooking we made chocolate muffins. The recipe was like the chocolate brownies but instead of using the brownie tray we used the muffin tray. My last partner for cooking was Limiteti. We each put in our own amount of the mix then added more if we had left overs. To tell the difference she used a different colored muffin cup. Limiteti's muffin cups were pink and orange and I had the green and purple muffin cups. On the left you                                                        have the steps and on the right is our finishing product.

Earthquakes Hit Whakaari

Whakaari also known as White Island has had a large number of earthquakes for the past few days. Whakaari is New Zealand's most active volcano at the moment.

There has been about 196 earthquakes around the area since Thursday. It has been said that as the earthquakes are getting stronger and it may cause Whakaari to collapse.

Twenty-two hours in the past twenty-four hours the size has lifted up to magnitude 3. The largest earthquake that hit has been measured to about 3.9. Some experts are are keeping watch of the island just encase another eruption happens again and the island actually does collapse.
 

Chicken Wraps

For the second to last week our cooking group made chicken wraps, and since barely anyone was there we each had our own stations to work in. We used varieties of vegetables, chicken, mayonnaise and added sweet chili sauce if we wanted to. It was kind of challenging to make it into a wrap but by the co-operation of Mrs Tuipulotu we were able to do it.

Cottage Pie

Last week for tech we made cottage pie. It was a very enjoyable meal and something I would cook at home. My opinion on this is it is very simple to make but taste even better.

 Participating in cooking class is exciting because every week we make something different but no matter difficult it is to make the taste is always delightful.

Potato Salad

At tech we made potato salad, the potato salad has been one of the effortless dishes I have made since my group started attending cooking class. I think that almost anybody can make potato salad because it is fast to prepare and can fill you up instantly.

Kiwi Can Week 1

Today our class had a lesson with Kiwi Can. Our class had a small introduction from the tutors, Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac and they  explained the rules to us.

First we discussed what the rules were and what the word integrity meant. Our topic for the next three weeks is honesty. So we will be focusing on telling the truth and not lying.

We then played three games: bang, changes and GKQ. GKQ is another way of saying General Knowledge Questions.

We ended with a small clap to say,  "Thank you." to the people who came and gave us a lesson.

Duffy Role Model Sam Verlinden

 Ruapotaka school had a Duffy role model visit our school. Since most of us couldn't pronounce Sam's last name he just recommended we call him Sammy V.

Sam displayed us one of his songs, JUMBLE.2. He was an excellent singer and has incredible vocals.

He is a solo artist and has traveled a lot around the world like to America, Canada and a few more countries because of how successful he has become. I think that more people can be given opportunities if the read everyday like Sam did.
