How we made healthy gummie bears

WALT: We are learning to follow a recipe.

Ingredients:

1 bag ice 

6-8 Lemons

3 tablespoons gelatin

Honey/sugar 

Method:

1 We put ice under the gummy moulds.

2 We cut the lemons in half.

3 We juiced the lemons.

4 We poured the juice into the heating pot

5 We added 3 tablespoons of gelatin.

6 We added 2 tablespoons of honey.

7 Next we stirred the gummy mix

8 We poured the mixture into the moulds.

Reflection:I think the easiest part was juicing the lemons because you didn't have to do much.I think the hardest part was pouring the mixture into the moulds because you had to be careful and make sure the mould didn't overflow.I enjoyed making gummies.

Question:What was your favourite part of my blog post?

 

Cross country

WALT : We are learning to set goals and how we can achieve them.

My pallet garden design

WALT: We are learning to follow the design process

Why I choose my design:
I designed my pallet garden the way I did because I thought that the gaps in my pallet garden where
I grew my plants would help because it would ensure that my plants got lots of sunlight and water.I also thought that my pallet garden design would be good because the plants would be safe and secure.

Equipment list:
(Estimate) X 5 pallets
X 40 nails
Lettuce seeds
X 4 wooden legs
Soil

Reflection:
My favourite part was building my prototype because you could make your ideas more clear. You could also be creative.And because it was a challenge.

What I found challenging:

I found it challenging to use the hot glue gun and not burn myself. Also, to make my design into a 3D prototype. It was also challenging to make my design neat and tidy.

What I could work on:
I think the things I could work on is making my prototype tidy and neat. Also next time adding more room to grow my plants. Another thing I could work on is giving my plants more shelter.
Question:

Have you ever made a pallet garden?/what was your favourite part?

Flowchart

 WALT:We are learning to order steps in the correct order.

' This is my first attempt at making a flowchart.

Reflection:The easiest part of making a flowchart on how to make kuitai/mussel fritters was probably using shapes and colours to make pictures that were topic specific.The hardest part was probably adding enough detail in my flowchart.

Question:Do you enjoy making kuitai/mussel fritters/why? 

Prototec

 WALT: We are learning to solve maths problems and set goals.

Goal: Next time I do a prototec math sheet my goal is to score 100% in less time.

 Reflection: I think the thing I did well was the equations that included thousands.I think the thing I could work on is completing the prototec math sheet in less time.I think it was hard to find the right answers for the equations that included thousands.I think it was easy to solve the questions where you add or subtract from 20 at the end.

Question:Do you enjoy prototec maths sheets? why or why not?

Question: 

If you have project energise sessions whats your favourite part? 

   

My Speech

WALT : We are learning to write a persuasive speech



Introduction

Kia ora my name is Liv and my speech is about whether pets deserve the same care as humans…...

I will be talking about pet cruelty, pet heroes, how we can change the way pets are treated and about how pets have feelings just like humans.




1 / Pet heroes

Pets are very loyal and save their owners’ lives all the time.There are many stories of pets saving lives that a lot of people aren’t aware of. Even my great auntie was saved by her dog when she was drowning at the bottom of her pool when she was 5 years old.




Other stories of pets saving lives include a story of a dog named Sky who gave her life to rescue her owner from 2 sharks by jumping into the water to rescue him, also one about a cockatiel named Dylan that saved his owner from a terrible house fire. These are just some stories of pets saving lives. Believe it or not, pets are saving lives all the time!



2 / Pet cruelty

Just stop and think, would you like to be on the streets drenched with no food or water? No, neither would I. Do you enjoy a warm home with everything you need? Well so do they.

Some pets don’t get enough amounts of food or water and a warm home, not to mention that they don’t get any exercise nor lots of attention.




Cruelty and abuse towards pets has to stop. Some pets are abandoned by their previous owners. Approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are euthanized every year because shelters are too full and there are not enough adoptive homes.Some pets are put into horrible factories where they are crammed into cages and treated terribly.




Estimated about 30 million dogs and 10 million cats are killed for the meat trade every year.There are even asian dog meat festivals. How would you feel if your pet ended up on someone's plate? People need to start making a difference and need to stop harming the harmless.




3 / Pets have Feelings too

Pets can make you happy, excited, nervous and sad and they feel all these feelings too. If you're upset, your pet will know and will try to make you happy. And if you're nervous, your pet can make you excited. You make your pets happy, excited, sad and nervous too.




When you haven’t seen your pet in a long time, it’s an exciting and happy moment for them too. You can hurt your pets feelings by not giving them enough attention or by not having enough time to care for them.So if they’re always there for us, why aren’t we there for them? We could be there for them by giving them the love and respect they deserve.


4 / Conclusion

I have a rabbit named Snowball, my sister has a guinea pig named Oreo and we also have a family dog named Bruce so I know that pets are a lot of work but it’s all worth it in the end. We could change how pets are treated! Learning how to treat pets could be part of the learning curriculum at schools worldwide. Or you could help by volunteering at a rescue center like the SPCA. Everyone can make a difference...Even if that means adopting a pet from a shelter or volunteering at a shelter... everything helps!!!

So back to my initial question: “Do you think pets deserve the same care as humans?I think they absolutely do!”



Thank you for listening to my speech.

Reflection:

I found it hard to complete a speech in 3 weeks because I didn't have much time. 

I found it easy to find facts to put in my speech because I researched my topic a lot. 

My favourite part was presenting my speech to my class because I got to share my learning with others.

Question:

What do you enjoy about writing persuasive speeches? 

My lock down

WALT: I am learning to use descriptive vocabulary in my writing.

Over the lock down we did so many different things. We baked, I played with my pet rabbit, but my

favourite activities were when we went surfing on ninety mile beach and hiking on the Puketi Nature trail.

In lock down my 2 favourite days were in level 2 first when we went surfing I was bursting with excitement and started to get ready. When I got in the ocean water sprayed in my face I froze for a few seconds then paddled out on my board.I waited a few minutes then finally saw a wave when it came closer I layed down on my board and started paddling towards shore when the wave came I paddled then stood up it felt amazing.After me Faye and Teo  caught a few waves we went home.


My next favourite day was when me, my Mum,Faye and Teo went for a hike on the Puketi Nature trail. I was very happy and started to pack I brought my camera so I could take photos of all the plants and native birds.The nature trail was 40 minutes away I sat in the car tired and waited till we got there.When we arrived I felt amazed when I walked down the trail and saw all the different plants, trees and birds. My favourite part of the hike was when I saw a colorful Tui in a tree.When we finished the hike I was exhausted but I’m still super excited for the next time I do this hike.


Even though we were in lock down, I had a great time with my whanau. As you can see I loved walking in the Puketi Forest and surfing, two of my favourite things to do.Those are the reasons why they were my two favourite days in lock down. I would recommend you did these activities too.

 

Reflection: I enjoyed writing about my lock down but I found it hard to find good descriptive vocab to add in.

What were your favourite days in lock down and why? 

Cupcakes

WALT : I am learning to follow a recipe while baking.

Ingredients:

150g Tararua Butter, softened
1 1/2 cups Chelsea Caster Sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla essence
2 1/2 cups Edmonds Self Raising Flour
1 1/4 cups Meadow Fresh Milk


*You can use Chelsea Icing Sugar + 2-3 drops vanilla essence as an alternative.

Recipe:
Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 190°C conventional or 170°C fan-forced. Beat Tararua Butter with an electric mixer until smooth, add Chelsea Caster Sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Add the sifted Edmond's Self Raising Flour, Meadow Fresh Milk and vanilla, beat until smooth. Place paper baking cases in a cupcake tin, spoon in mixture until they are about 2/3 full (don't overfill or they will form peaks). This recipe makes 24 cupcakes so you might need to do this in two batches. Bake for 20 minutes until golden or until they spring back when lightly pressed. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool while you prepare the cake tin i added blueberry's in my cupcakes and made a blueberry glaze.

I enjoyed making these cupcakes and will probably make them again.

I found it tricky learning a new recipe.

what do you think i should add next time i make these cupcakes?
