End of Year Post

Today is my last day as a Year 7. Below are some memories of this year. 

Camp Experience 2k18

TEAM PLAYER

Last week, from Wednesday to Friday, my class went out to camp in Ferndale. We were put into groups and were assigned activities like, Stream Science, Outdoor Cooking, Archery, Air Rifles, Problem Solving and Blast of the Past. In this photo, we were doing an activity from Blast from the Past. We were basically playing Hockey but with a tennis ball and newspaper. 

I wanted to share this photo because it showcases the value of teamwork. Annalisa and I worked together as a team to try and get a goal. Even though the other team won, it didn't matter because we worked together!

Welcome to Term 4!!

Welcome to Term 4!! - Holiday Writing

On October the third, during the first week of the holidays, I went to ‘West Wave’ with my family (cousins, nieces/nephews, siblings). The day was pretty hot and humid so it great that we were at the pools. I packed an extra set of warm clothes (since it would be pretty late when we would come out of the building) and some snacks since we would be swimming around for a long time.

I walked cautiously into the slippery changing room and got changed into my swimwear. The biggest swimming pool, which is the most used one was not very packed, so I decided to get into the water as quickly as possibly (with a few of my cousins) and enjoy it while I can. The water was warm and it felt very calm for some time ... until the waves came in. I was in the deep side (which was a little too deep for me) and whenever a wave would form, it would crash over my head and I would be sent underwater, so I quickly swam to the depth which suited me the most.

I swam around the main pool, spending time with my cousins and playing pool games. After a while, a bit later into the afternoon, I got bored and decided to look after my nieces and nephews for a while in the kiddy pool. They were only small but they had a lot of energy in them, like a battery. I played with them in the very warm water for a while until they had to go home. When they left, I decided it was time to have a shower and get changed since it was getting colder.

I finally finished changing and came out to a table to have some chips. I finished eating the salty snack and we all left to go back home.

Technology @ Tamaki - Cooking Mince Gravy

Wednesday 17 October

Cooking w/ Fiapo

Step 1: Dice some onion and then fry it in a cooking pan with oil, making sure it doesn't go brown. When the onion is soft, put some mince in.

Step 2: While it is frying, pour warm water into a cup and then add some vegetable oax, a tablespoon of cornstarch and beef flavoured seasoning.

Step 3: Once the mince is cooked, you can put in the stock and then stir for 3 more minutes or until it looks cooked.

Step 4: Serve with rice or any other side dish.

ENJOY!!
