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.

Year 7's Assembly

Yesterday the year 7's in Room 12 led the senior syndicate throughout the assembly.

My job was working with Jamayne and Nurul, and we were responsible for hosting an activity. The activity we chose was to play Pictionary.

The songs we sang were "Over The Rainbow" by Israel and "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars. In my own opinion "Count On Me" was the most outstanding because the meaning had value.

Sweet And Sour Pork

Sweet and sour pork was on the menu for today.

This week Faye and I collaborated and prepared a small  but delicious dish. It was a very vibrant mix of vegetables and some juicy pork. 

The sauce  had some soy sauce to golden the colour and pineapple to sweeten it up a bit more.

Overall I think this dish was one of my favorites that we have made in cooking class. 

Chop Suey

Today my partner, Limiteti, and the other year 7's and year 8's made chop suey. It contained vegetables, meat and vermicelli.

First we sliced up the ingredients and the meat and boiled the vermicelli. After that we combined the ingredients and mixed  them all together to make the chop suey.

Overall it was a very yummy dish and would recommend for dinner or lunch.

Room 9's Assembly

On Monday Room 9 entertained the senior syndicate assembly. They prepared games and two songs for everyone to sing.

We sang "Don't Give It Up" by Six60 and "Lean On Me". My favorite was "Don't Give It Up."

Later on four people from each class went up to play maths bang. Maths bang is just like the original game bang but you have to answer a maths question then say, "Bang!"

The champion was our head prefect Jessica.

Fritata With Kumara

Today Sione and I made Fritata with kumara. We used eggs, kumara that we shredded, milk and onions. First we fried our onions in some oil, added it all into a small baking tray then we baked it in the sizzling oven and left it to cook until it turned into a rich golden brown colour. Once it was time to eat Sione started demolishing in and to me it was fine but it wasn't outstanding. I am looking forward to next week and what we will be cooking.
