Today we made elephant toothpaste, we watched the instructions before we could start the next period. 

Aim:- To Make Elephant Toothpaste 

Equipment:- Hydrogen Peroxide / H 020   | Food Color | Dish Washing Liquid, Dry Yeast, Hot & Cold Water.

Method:-

1. Add Hot Water Clear Cup
2. Add 2 Tablespoons of Yeast
3. Mix It Well
4. Inside a water bottle fill it with Hydrogen Peroxide & Dish Washing Liquid
5. Put Water Bottle into a tray
6. Pour Both liquids into the bottle
7. WATCH AS THE TOOTHPASTE EMERGES FROM THE BOTTLE!!!!

Result / Outcome:-

The Outcome was that the toothpaste burst out of the bottle and spread all over the tray.

Today we learnt about earthworms and how it helps us or our land. I have made a poster telling us what worms do.

Technology: Science

Today at science our second topic was plastic, which is been a major problem in the world.

We learnt that single plastic is only used once. But with reusable plastic, you can use it more than once and it is easy to recycle it.

We also cut out and glued the positive, negative and neutral facts about plastic. 

POSITIVE = A GOOD THING

NEGATIVE = NOT SAFE OR HEALTHY

NEUTRAL = THE FACT HAS BOTH A POSITIVE SIDE AND A NEGATIVE SIDE

 

POSITIVE	NEUTRAL	NEGATIVE
Biodegradable refers to the ability of materials to break down and return to nature. For packaging products or materials to qualify as biodegradable, they must completely break down and decompose into natural elements. The decomposing process must take a short time after disposal - typically a year or less.	The first synthetic plastic was made in 1907 by a Belgian name Leo Baekeland. He invented Bakelite in a lab in New York. Bakelite was known as ‘The material of 1,000 uses’. It has been used to make phones, radios, jewellery, chess sets and so much more	The durability and long-lasting life of plastics are the things that cause problems in the environment. It will take decades… centuries before plastics that are now on earth begin to break down.
Plastics are produced from by-products of crude oil. Because of this, they can be broken back down again into a usable product.		Since the 1950s, one billion tons of plastic has been thrown away around the world. Microplastics - minute particles of plastics have been found in the deepest oceans we can explore, on the highest mountains we can climb, and in the most remote areas of the world.
Plastic is lightweight, strong and easy to create. It has been used in endless ways… and it’s so cheap to make and buy. Other more expensive natural materials, such as wood, metals, silks and animal skin have been replaced by plastics.		Great and rare sea birds like albatrosses get tangled up in old fishing nets and die. Around 400,00 marine mammals die every year due to plastic pollution in oceans.
		Polythene bags - the ones gave out or sold in the shop and used for some packaging, are easily carried by the wind, something that makes them almost impossible to collect for recycling.
		A big source of microplastics is wastewater from washing machines. Washing synthetic clothes in rivers and lakes do the same thing.
		Sea creatures, like worms, molluscs and crustaceans, are at the bottom of the food chain - that is, are eaten by other larger animals. They often end up ingesting microplastics… which then pass up the food chain. Other animals, and humans, end up with microplastics in their bodies… and get sick or die.
		Many marine animals mistake some types of plastic for food and them. Turtles often die because the plastic they eat blocks their digestive system, so they starve. Marine animals (like dolphins) often get trapped by plastic nets or ropes and either drown or starve to death.
		Plastics generally have a short life compared to metals, This short life cycle results in pile-ups of unwanted garbage in the homes, streets, towns, villages, waterways and waste yards. In some cities in the world creek and river, waters don’t flow because of the plastics build-up.
		Some plastic products are highly flammable - for example, polystyrene, acrylics, polyethene are commonly used in packaging, home and office appliances. This makes them a fire hazard.

We had so much fun and we all couldn't wait to go back and learn another topic about something else that the world knows.

THIS IS WHAT I LIKE

THINGS I PUT ON MY POSTER
Naruto, Tongan flag, Fortnite, Zombs Royale, Oranges, Lamborghini, Thor, Youtube, Guitar, Marist rugby, Ice cream and a burger.


SKILLS I LEARNT TODAY:

- How to get a picture transparent

- How to use a GIF

I COULD USE THESE SKILLS WHEN I:

- I am told to create a DLO

- When I want to use transparent pictures with see-through backgrounds

- When I want to use a GIF

I REALLY LIKED HOW

- We now know what our graphics teacher would say if we were disrespectful

- We all worked and discussed things together

Technology - Chicken Wraps

Today my partner (Frank) and I have learned how to make Chicken wraps. Here are the steps that we used to create these Chicken wraps.


Step 1:  Dice the Lettuce and Tomatoes.


Step 2:  Grab a tortilla and spread mayo on half it.


Step 3:  Get some cheese and chicken.


Step 4: Fill the tortillas in this order
1. Lettuce
2. Tomatoes
3. Chicken
4. Cheese

Step 5: 
Roll the side with the fillings on it up to halfway, make sure the fillings are not falling. Then roll the other half and put the wrap onto a plate.


Step 5: Present the wrap on the plate and enjoy!!!

Today my partner Jerome and I have learned how to make Kumara Fritter. I will write the steps that we had to complete in order to create this delicious dish.

Step 1-  Peel kumara and crate it ( Cheese Crater).

 

Step 2 - Whisk 4 eggs with 1 cup of milk.

Step 3 - Mix with Kumara and pour into the baking tin.

           - bake 180 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes.

           - Clean

           - Take a photo

FOOD TECH - Today we made spaghetti, Jerome and I worked really hard and managed to satisfy ourselves in the end. Here are the steps to making the spaghetti. I can't wait to see what we are going to make next time, I hope its something a little bit sweet.

Steps to making Spaghetti

STEP 1: Put spaghetti in the pot and add 3 cups of water to boil.

STEP 2: Cut and peel the carrot, onion, and zucchini and kept the peels to the side. 

STEP 3: Put some oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until they're soft.  Try not to make them burnt or brown.

STEP 4: When onions are soft but not burnt put the scrapped vegetables in with the onions and mix together.

STEP 5: Mix the spaghetti when it's ready, drain the water out of the pot and pour the spaghetti on the vegetables.

STEP 6: mix the vegetables and spaghetti while pouring some cream with seasoning in it and sprinkle some cheese.

STEP 7: Mix for a while till it looks cooked then serve it on to the bowl.

STEP 8: EAT THE BEST SPAGHETTI YOU'VE EVER TASTED WITH THE BEST RECIPE!!!

Technology -- Cooking.

My partner Jerome and I had to write step by step on how we made the soup. Here are the steps we had to follow.

Steps-

Step 1- Slice your meat boil with cabbage, potato, carrot, and onion.

Step 2- Add your Spice -Salt, Pepper and chilli powder.

Step 3- Cleaning - clean your area.

Technogly - Food class.

Today at food tech I and my partner Jerome made English breakfast, here are the steps we did to make the food.

Step 1 - We turned the oven up to 200 degrees and put 4 slices of bread on the tray.

Step 2 - We fried the sausages, Eggs, and bacon.

Step 3 - We place the fried food on the plate neatly.

Step 4 - We Cooked baked beans.

Step 5 -We took out the bread when it was golden brown and buttered it.

Step 6 - We placed the baked beans on the toast.

Step 7 - We had a FEAST.
