25. CIVILian Builds! – Engineering Of Tomorrow #2 – RECAP

Kia Ora!

As you know, it’s week 9!… which is also known, for us, presentation week.. well the presentation day was on Tuesday. I found this whole project very fun and I actually enjoyed working with others, building with different designs, and learning more throughout engineering! I might become an engineer in the future, who knows!

Over several weeks, (like 6 or 7..) the civil engineering class focused on transforming a complex, real-world challenge into a tangible solution. My group was in a pickle because at the last second our needed items were finally printed after like some time that took forever.
What kind of everyday usage building would you build if you were to do engineering like us?

Starting Week of Engineering

The project began with a problem statement: Design a bridge to span a given distance, about 50 cm, support a specified load, and use the limited resources in class. This began complex calculations and creative problem-solving.
My team was called “T.T.K.M” Which are the initials based after our name (of the people in my group) and also had another meaning that says “Think, Test, Know, Make” which is a relevant topic of engineering and is easy to comprehend! T.T.K.M started by sketching various designs, such as suspension bridges with cables, arch bridges, and beam bridges with simple supports. After initial calculations, the truss bridge design was chosen. A truss bridge, composed of interconnected triangles, was considered ideal for distributing weight and preventing collapse.I didn’t choose this type of bridge voluntarily, I just noticed its strength!

Constructions and Challenges

Constructing the bridge involved detailed precision. Accurate cutting and strong joints were essential. Any inaccuracies could weaken the structure! We used the school wooden ‘sporks’ to make our bridge, along with hot glue to obviously stick it together. I wanted to control the group, (like design the bridge to something that I preferred) but knowing me, I’m someone who doesn’t want to be known as a bossy girl. I let the year 7’s do most of the work on our bridge since they want to prove their opinions right.
Extensive testing methods were used to join materials, reinforce weak points, and achieve precise angles. This process demonstrated the iterative nature of engineering! That was the civil part of our challenge.
A bit more complicated additions, we also wanted to add lights within our bridge, for the electrical part. In my other post, I’ve mentioned how I didn’t want to do civil engineering–but wanted to do electrical which my group didn’t want to do. So instead, we went with both which was quite perplexing to compromise. That was the main challenge that we didn’t face. Wouldn’t that be super cool if we added the lights, though? We were planning to add it across the railings.

Count-Down To Week 9 (rn)

The final week focused on the presentation (Week 8 – week 9 on Monday). My team, T.T.K.M, aimed to explain the construction process effectively. As I mentioned, our printing was done last second so our display wasn’t that fascinating. Our presentation was better!

Week 9 arrived, and the team presented their work. Did I mention that we also had to build another structure? Well my team all agreed that we should construct the Leonardo Da Vinci Sketch and present that next to our design. Since Leonardo’s famous bridge was one of the challenges we recently had to build (relying on tension). We used chopsticks and Blu-Tack to withhold the Leonardo Bridge, the design, load-bearing capabilities, and challenges were discussed. Our bridge (the Leonardo one) was capable of holding 2 Chromebooks! We’ve presented our projects up in the hall of Edmund Hillary School which the year 6’s 7’s and 8’s were involved within. I had tons of fun especially when I achieved a certificate of “The Engineers Of Tomorrow TENZ”

The project’s completion was satisfying, and me and my team shared our journey from the initial design to the final, robust bridge. The project demonstrated that civil engineering involves problem-solving, teamwork, and effective communication of ideas!

If I had more time or different materials, I’d definitely make a better bridge than I have right now!

Thx for Reading!

“Sometimes, you don’t need maths nor physics to become an electrical engineer, it involves things mainly like ideas or your blueprinting plans.” — Sam, who said something similar.
I’d like to give a big THANK YOU to TENZ for helping us students to do engineering, and also to Whaea Ruth for teaching us during the engineering progress!! I feel like an engineering pro after a whole term of tutoring! I appreciate their time :).
Anyways, Thank you for reading! Any questions or suggestions–Just comment them down below!

25. Chocolate Chip Muffins – FOOD TECHNOLOGY – Week 8 T1

Hola, Reader!

During Food-Tech yesterday, Whaea Leigh (the teacher for that class) allocated us to bake chocolate chip muffins! That day, I was the Kitchen Porter – the baker of the group. To be honest, making the batter was so easy(!), because one of my friends was the Sous Chef (the leader of the kitchen station/the person who grabs the ingredients and measures them into a bowl) and her job was to fetch the dry ingredients and gather them all into a large bowl – bringing it back to the base. Then, she went and united the wet essentials in a smaller bowl then brought that back to the station as well. All I had to do was mix them together. My job as the Kitchen Porter was to combine the wet and dry ingredients once the two individuals successfully mixed solos. I don’t quite know/remember what the foundation of the muffins were, this writing is just a recount of what I’ve learnt. Anyways, when I finished interweaving the mix, Whaea Leigh made her way to my station with a bucket of chocolate chips then sprinkled half a cup into the batter. Along with that, she kindly poured half into my friends hands and mines (she didn’t do that with the other groups – till one of them spotted us eating the chocolate then whined for some too.)

Since there were already muffin papers in the pastry tray, we only had to add the batter into the muffin wrappers (equally) for ourselves. There were 12 spaces in the tray and three of us in my group had 4 muffins each. We measured the batter and poured it in our wrappers equally with a spoon, the spoon’s construction taking the measurement of even cupcakes. Putting it into the oven for 12 minutes, as we were waiting – we also had to clean. But I swiped the batter onto my finger and tasted it.. the flavour was awesome. The sweet butter added a delightful zest towards the taste which was something I can’t forget.

~Here’s what our muffins looked like for reference~

What I’ve learnt in the making, was that cleaning during the process is important. Otherwise, saving the cleaning part for later would add more stress onto us and waste more time once we’ve finished making our product.

When the muffins finished baking, we had to do our own presentation for the first time this term and be creative with our ideas to impress our future self/others.  My design for my presentation was like a flower petal drawn with chocolate syrup, and the muffin applied into the middle acts as the pollen within flowers in general. I drizzled chocolate syrup in a zigzag motion onto my chocolate chip muffin then sprinkled cocoa powder and icing sugar too, to add a character into my muffin that shows that my muffin is definitely as delicious as it looks. I felt like a true chef as I was baking, because that session and food is actually my favorite from now on. I’ll wait for next week to see if it’s better!

Bye!

 

25. KiwiCan Co-operation! – T1 Week 7

Kia Ora!

When Room 10 (our class neighbour) came back from KiwiCan, that indicated us to line up outside and make our way to the hall where KiwiCan is played. Last week we unfortunately didn’t have KiwiCan, but the week before we did have the activity. Every second week on Friday is when we have Kiwican. 

So as we perched in the hall, the KiwiCan leaders, Glaytor and Here (pronounce the ‘R’ in Here’s name by slightly rolling your tongue, so He’R’e), as usual, they greeted us and asked if we could guess where this greeting ‘Hola’ is from. Someone immediately guessed correctly that it was used in Argentina – because their nosiness peered and saw the paper about the country we were going to discuss.

I’ve learnt not many new things about Argentina, because I already knew most of them. A fact that blew my mind a bit was that their current population is a thunderstruck of 45.54 million people. Another fact I acknowledged about Argentina is that their national animal is the Rufous Hornero – a birdie that seems cute. Their capital city is Buenos Aires, Google what it looks like if you have time, it sure is a beautiful city!

Here’s what the Argentina flag looks like if you don’t know! (The orange circle in the middle is a Sun)

Next Topic!

Warming up for our activity – for our Energiser, we had to participate in a team-working activity titled ‘Hoop De Hoop’ (As far as I remember).  The rules for that act, is that we had to go in a circle holding hands with a hula hoop trapped in-between two people. With a timer pressuring us, everyone in the circle has to try to go through the hula hoop and repeat that same process till it goes back to the two people the hoop was originally locked between, that’s how the game finishes. We had no practice rounds so we had to try to succeed in the first round with no second attempts. Our rivals were the other classes, since their reflection of the hula hoop game was written upon the board, we got to see which class was currently winning (which IS Room 4).

THE CONSEQUENCES: As we’re holding hands, if somebody, anybody, LETS GO of the person that their hands are connected with, whether it was on accident or purpose; we have to rewind to the start with the timer still playing on..so no pausing and we had to try beat the winning class.

Backpedal back to earlier this term, when we had no KiwiCan yet, my class already had practiced on how to play the hoop game, because we were smart enough to know that at some point in KiwiCan we had that activity. We planned our method of earning only seconds in this activity and not minutes, so we already knew what the target was. I’m not spilling our idea, we’re (I’m) plotting to gate-keep the procedure :)). 

During the KiwiCan venture, WE LITERALLY SUCCEED IN OUR TIME OF THE MAKING WITH A TREMENDOUS TIME OF 44 SECONDS WITHIN THE TIMER. The other classes were about 1:00 (one minute) above. Oblivious of our accomplishment (we weren’t allowed to see how many seconds/minutes we’ve achieved when we finished our co-operative game) all the students alighted on the carpet awaiting for our results. Heres (One of the KiwiCan Leaders) boosted my hopes up, because of her shocked expression. My teacher that day, Whaea Lorraine, made me think that we’ve either lost, or won, because she seemed solemnly intrigued. When Glaytor (KiwiCan Leader) told us the amount of seconds we’ve gotten, everybody began to jump up and down as if the hall became a trampoline… that was when he exclaimed ‘Wait.’. Since KiwiCan Leader Glaytor recorded our game-play, at the end of the energiser, he got to re-watch what we’ve done to double check for some mistakes – such as others letting go. When the hoop travelled all the way to the last person, SOMEONE HOLDING THAT LAST PERSONS HAND.. disconnected their touch!! Simultaneously as the hoop effortlessly and successfully made its way back to the start. But watching in slow-mo, the person let go before the hoop attained. 

– So –

Since that person let go, we had to double the amount of seconds we’ve got (44). So that’ll be One minute and thirty-six seconds. Not bad but not great. I felt so unfortunate and to be honest I kinda expected that to happen.

OUR TOPIC FOR THIS WEEK

That energiser included working together as a team to earn more, including others and interacting with ones that you don’t often open up to. Those keywords are all considered as Co-opera(ting)tion. Co-operation is our topic, meaning team-work and working with each other to grasp triumph. Our motto to memorize our team-work is this common following proverb ‘Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!’ which is obviously true.

CATCH PHRASE: “KiwiCan Says… Cooperation Is All About, Working Together, And Helping Out.”

ACTIVITY

For our activity this week KiwiCan is labeled ‘Sing With Pride’. Its name is what the pursuit is basically about.

The rules are: Split into a group of 6 people and form a circle sitting down. Listening to Glaytor shout a topic for the song – E.G: Sing a song from Disney – we have 5 seconds to discuss which song from Disney to sing with pride in order for a point. Once those 5 seconds were done, in sequence for a turn to sing and earn a point, we had to shout out a buzzer to indicate that we’re ready and want to go. Each group had the same buzzer; which was stacking all of our hands in the middle and shouting ‘Co-operation!’ as we ascend our upper limbs into the air – the loudest group gets a chance to sing. Everyone in their own community has to sing a song all together – Another example; Glaytor: “Sing a song with ‘Diamonds’ in it!” Someone’s group forms their hands in the middle and shouts co-operation’ and gets chosen then sings within 3 seconds, the same song, that’s sung clearly. “Shine bright like a ‘Diamond’.” (that group sung in unison) then they get a point. If Glaytor or anyone can’t exactly make out what the group is singing/chanting with pride, then they don’t get a point and another group gets to shout the buzzer and have a go.

As my group and other for-now-rival groups were competing, my group was in the lead (with 3-4 points, I don’t precisely remember.). In the end, my group happily won :).

Forming a circle and sitting back on the carpet in front of kiwiCan, we were revising on what we’ve done in that activity then moved onto GkQ (General Knowledge Questions)

Our GkQ Master for the next week after week is…. A guy who’s moving schools. He’s unfortunately not going to be here for next GkQ’s master so I’m sure my teacher Whaea Lorraine would randomly select another individual in my class to become the GkQ Master.

What I personally enjoy about KiwiCan are the new Countries/Greetings and the valuable life lessons they teach us during the ‘games/activities’ we participate in. I love the way they manage to add physically entertaining things as we learn. Learning is something children don’t like, but playing a game whilst learning could build up their interests in learning more about valuable things in (1s) topic.

I would love to thank the person reading. That’s my experience in KiwiCan. We’ve learnt new things, especially ‘Co-operation’. Cooperating is an awesome aspect because it helps you interact with others and help improve your characteristics. Notice any mistakes, feel free to comment. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas of how to improve my writing or spelling, possibly maybe add into your comments some questions. I’m intrigued and always steady to reply!

I’m ending this post now because I’ve written a whole lot of things about what KiwiCan’s like. Thank you once again, Bye!

25. ~FOOD TECHNOLOGY~ – T1 Week 7

Kia Ora, Reader.

On Monday, a Tech (where we hike to another school to learn more advanced things) this week, group 2 has made Mac’&Cheese.

Unexpectedly, we had no roles that day, so we just done whatever we could in the kitchen – like do any roles such as cleaning without being told to, helping with the cooking even though we weren’t assigned for that job, and yeah. I’m pretty sure you get what I mean.

 

THE SKILLS WE’VE USED WERE: Communicating with others, following the ingredients/method, and trying to clean as we were cooking.

In the middle of cooking, one of my partners messed up the mac&cheese sauce, and I (yes I) solved the problem and made it better than it originally was 😛.  I managed to improve the sauce with the help of the food technology teacher Whaea Leigh. We helped it become better by adding more cheese and straining the clumpy flour with the strainer and kinda like breaking it apart so it could individually mix together immaculately for no clumps. The strangest part in the making was the fact that we had to microwave milk – I found that abnormal because when adding  milk into Mac&cheese, I usually add it in straight up without heating the liquid. SO that was something I’ve learnt – that you could microwave liquid such as milk.

We put our kai into small tin pans big enough for ourselves to hold and eat. For reference, here’s what our making looked like. (An image I found online on Google since the photos we took at Food Tech couldn’t go through Room 9’s drive.)

It looked similar to that but less burnt and more with a crispy aspect.  

The outcome of our product looked and tasted spectacular! The way the cheese exterior combined well with the pasta is very unforgettable.

That’s it for this post! Catch you later. If you have any questions or thoughts – maybe possibly liked my work, please comment them down below, whether it’s positive or not.. I’ll take it.

(God Bless you) Bye!

 

 

 

25. \\Food Technology\\ – T1 Week 6

Malo e lelei, Reader.

For food technology (This week Monday), Group 2 were assigned to bake Pizza (!).

What we did first as we walked into class, was that we had to do our daily Monday routine and pack our bags away in a small cub to get it out of view. We then sorted our groups out by writing the roles of those who were determined on what obligation they should take over, on a whiteboard. The groups are still the same, but the jobs of the kitchen just keep rotating its way. That day, I was the Kitchen Hand, the one who cleans after the baker (Kitchen Porter) – so I don’t exactly know what the ingredients included in the pizza method are.

The skills that were used as we baked were; Kneading the pizza dough, cleaning as we worked, measuring the right ingredients for the wanted outcome, using the oven properly, and working together as a team.

We half’ed the pizza dough into thirds and helped ourselves to make our own pizza for ourselves. Here’s the mathematics part though, so Group 2, food technology students, has 15 people in total. 15 divided by 5 is the equal amount that’s enough for 3 people per group. There are 5 stations In the food tech kitchen which in conclusion of this part is saying that is enough for all divided people (the three lot) to have their own stations in their group of THREE (I hope I explained well, I’m try’na avoid being vague with my explanation.). -So that’s why we separated our dough into three because there are three people (who are my great friends :).) working at my assigned position scullery.

Frankly, I found it tough making the pizza, because the dough was honestly oily which made the tomato paste abscond off lightly. I attempted to make the type of tomato pie with cheese stuffed into the crust – so a cheese crust'(ed) pizza variety. We unfortunately didn’t have that much cheese to cope with because the teacher tried to save more for subsequent classes, so we tried to use as little cheese possible and was hyper-vigilant with what we’re doing.. to not only make sure that we don’t accidentally wreck our hard work process, but also to equivalently use the ratio of the cheese so we could have virtuous pizzas for our presentation and its appearance. (So the person looking at the Pizza may be fooled to think that it taste great).

Ethically, the whole of group 2 could agree with me that the pizza we’ve made with the same recipe tasted like a fifty-fifty between the scale of scrumptious and disgusting. The pizza’s taste wasn’t as savory as our hypothesis compromised, but the presentation looked fortunate.

I would like to show what others made in tech (Since the person who ‘brang’ the camera only took photos of the boys stations) but the photos are still being transferred in the people who attend group 2’s camera rolls (I’ll try update this sooner or later). Here’s (for reference) the pizza we’ve tried to recreate though:

That’s it for this post! Comment down your thoughts about my experience, also please correct my grammar/writing within this post..I hope you understood what I’ve constructed and remember, God loves you and Jesus does too. Their love is unconditional.

25. Kiwi Can – T1Week 5

Kia Ora, fella.

@ 10:00, every fortnight; Room 9 has KiwiCan on Fridays. So, since this week we had KiwiCan, next week we won’t, but the week after we will. It’ll repeat its cycle everyday due to the Kiwi Can company hardly having employees to work with other children around the New Zealand region Schools.

Our KiwiCan leaders are: Mrs.Here and Mr.Glaytor.

During class we had to stop what we were doing and make our way immaculately over to the hall, where Kiwi Can is set up. In Kiwi Can, we’ve learnt new facts about the famous country ‘China’. The fact that I remember leaning in Kiwi Can about China, is that their national animal is a panda, and that the 5 yellow stars on their flag represent their leaders in the China community. In addition, there are also 2 republics of China and that they’re also popular for their Chinese New Years – This year is the year of the Snake (which is also one of the Kiwi Can leader’s year, Glaytor). To add more within what I’ve learnt, the Chinese Currency in China is known as the ‘Chinese Yen’ which is good to know if you’re moving to China. China’s capital city is Beijing if you didn’t know, because I didn’t either till that day.

CHINA’S FLAG:

Moving on!

For our energiser, we warmed up by playing a brief game named ‘Compliment Circle’. The title of the game explains itself: The rules for that energiser is that we had to form a group of 3-4 people and create a circle within the group. One person out of the 3 or 4 has to stand up and the remaining ones sitting in the shape has to give something complimentary to say about the figure – like something that they do is inspiring, their personality, their looks, etc! Our learning outcome of that game is that our language (filter mannerisms) has to be controlled by using Positive Communication – which was our topic for that day. Positive Communication means speaking thoughtfully and listening, which shows that you’re respectful. Is also something used to prevent conflict.. Without positive communication impacts, we would’ve been through some bad things at the moment.

Positive Communication was our Topic and this term our Theme is Positive Relationships – Whakawhanaungatanga, (KiwiCan says) meaning working and playing in safe and thoughtful ways.

Moving on!

For our activity, we played Tic-Tac-Toe aka Naughts and Crosses or X’s and O’s, but physically. We split into 2 groups (boys vs girls) and played 3 rounds of tic tac toe. Three people from both groups come up and try to win the rounds for their team. Obviously heights points wins. The law of that activity is easy, just like naughts and crosses, we have to try to get three in a row. But here’s the catch; If one girl and one boy (the versing opponents) go in the same circle, then it’s a block. We had to strategize as a group and use the topic Positive Communication as we discuss our way so. If we debated without the positive influence, then the issues would’ve caused a bitter dissension during the activity.

Our points during practise mode weren’t counted, but the girls definitely won. As we’re competing in the real’zes game, girls unfortunately lost. But at least we had a fun outcome, like we didn’t whine about losing, didn’t start fighting, nothing! We just congratulated the Boys and went on with our learning :)!

KiwiCan talked about our actions’ acted in the activity, it was way better than the other classes they’ve cope’d with accordingly, which is awesome. We did some GkQ (General Knowledge Questions) and our GkQ master/winner for next weeks after week isss  Mairerangi! (One of my great friend :).)

Thank you for reading, Reader! Also a quick note: KiwiCan isn’t just about playing games and enjoying your time without doing school work for an hour, its also about learning about life lessons during those activities and energisers. It’s about learning about the values and valuable things in life.

Please write down your thoughts and questions (also my writing mistakes. My hand(s) hurt(s) now after writing this whole entire thing during 2AM in the morning.) of this post. I’ll be sure to respond with clean feedback. Have a wonderful day and keep in mind that you’re worth more than rubies – Proverbs 3:15.

God bless you and Jesus loves you, bye xx !

 

 

25. FOOD TECHNOLOGY – T1 Week 5

Kia Ora, Reader.

On Monday this week, which is the day when the year 7’s and 8’s go out to tech – which is in Papakura Intermediate, during the afternoon, when the bell rings for recess, the senior seniors of Edmund Hillary walk out for tech and stays all the way through till 2:30 – 2:32 which is when the bell rings for Edmund Hillary School home time.

Anyways, this week on Monday, Group 2 which is the group assigned for Food Tech aka Cooking/Baking class, in their class:

WALT:

Bake by using teamwork and positive communications. We attempted to make WeetBix Slices, which turned out to taste delicious overall.

(Here is a website that includes the ingredients of how WEET-BIX SLICES are made, try to make it at home, I recommend it!

https://www.chelsea.co.nz/recipes/browse-recipes/weetbix-slice

In that link, it has the method and the ingredient of how to create the cocoa slice(s).)

 

For this week’s tech I had the job of ‘Kitchen Porter’ which is the role of the person who mixes the ingredients together – basically doing all the baking in the group. Then there’s the Kitchen hand, who is the cleaner of the group who cleans. The last role is the Sous Chef, which literally means the person who’s in-charge of their station/group and grabbing the ingredients for the session.

Since I’ve gotten the role of the baker, my buddy’s in my group weren’t so happy with their roles so I gave them a chance to bake with me using teamwork – I’ve helped dry the dishes and put the tray of our chocolate Weet-Bix  batter in and out of the oven, then into the fridge of where it cools down and harden for a better outcome. That’s what teamwork is, right?

The food we’ve made, which is the Weet-Bix slice, was so flavorsome, it tasted so sweet but good because the sprinkles added more sharpness to it, which polished the result of our food. The texture of the sustenance was crunchy, but soft at the same time – meaning that the exterior was dimly crunchy and the inside was like a brownie which was soft and nourishing. – Just like how lasagna is

For reference, this is what the Weet-Bix slice we tried to recreate looks like:

I wouldn’t say that the way my group made its presentation looked better, because it didn’t… but it did taste excellent, which is remarkably unforgettable to forget.

If you have any thoughts or questions, please comment them down below! Don’t hesitate to do so because I really look forward for some feedback. IF you couldn’t get to the link, try copying and pasting it on a new tab on Google, Thank you for reading!

(Add into your comment about my spelling please, so I can improve that as well 😀 .)

25. – FOOD TECHNOLOGY – T1 Week 4

Kia Ora!!

For Tech this Monday, Group 2 (the Food Tech community of E.H.S) Whaea Leigh, the Food Tech’s teacher, ordered us to make ‘Cinnamon Pancakes’ – where the ingredients were written on a laminated sheet. Never in my life have I ever heard of that dish, nor did the people who were assigned in my group.  Group 2 had to split into groups of 3-4 and work in a station through 1 to 5. My group chose station 5 because it looked nice and the grey aprons did improve the modern-like look.

I don’t exactly remember the ingredients for the kai, so don’t question me about it.

My group in tech, used to have 4 people coo-operating within the small community I gathered to bake with me, but now that the teachers discussed on making a new group (because there used to be 3 groups for each class but there were too many students for the teachers to handle), which is group 4, they moved one of my friends into that group.. sadly. Since doing that, one of my friends had to take cover of cleaning after ourselves (Kitchen Hand – Washing the dishes, dusting flooring clean, and etc things that involves polishing), and that couldn’t be me because I was Sous Chef – the person who’s in-charge of the kitchen station, also known as the one who grabs the ingredients for our group. It was fully confirmed that day

Whilst making the pancakes, we all took turns – So one of my friends started by using the canola-oil-spray (so the batter of the pancake doesn’t stick upon the pan) then poured in approximately half a cup of the flour mixture to invent the look of our attempted pancakes. It was pretty fragile so it could rip easily – we had to be careful for our pancakes as we did our presentation, which kinda represented the image down below.

FOR REFERENCE THIS IS WHAT THE CINNAMON PANCAKE LOOKED LIKE REMOTELY. (I can’t get the photos of what I’ve baked with my group because it’s inserted in the Papakura intermediate’s photo album 🙂 ).

Next week Monday, our roles will switch – So since this week (Monday) I was Sous Chef, next week I would be the Kitchen Porter – Meaning that I would have to make things according to the method on the ingredient(s) paper. The person this week who was the ‘Kitchen Hand’ (cleaning job) would be the Sous Chef (leader in short terms) next Monday then the closing of this state, the person who was Kitchen Porter would become the cleaner (Kitchen Hand). It keeps repeating like over and stuff. (If you understand what I’m trying to imply 😅)

I’m going to end this post now! Comment down your thoughts and please pin point the mistakes I’ve unintentionally written down.

24. Reading Response Making Decisions – Room 9

Kia Ora, Reader.

For reading last week, we had to read three books that were inserted into the slideshow Tanya created.

You may know how a reading response works, so I obviously had to answer the questions that were added after I read the book. Last week was stressful,(!) so I couldn’t do ANYTHING to finish my reading response. (Yeah this was meant to be on my blog on Friday..) Anyways, down below is my slideshow (that I actually finished without skipping a slide. Don’t include the last slide because it just says thank you.) of my reading response. I found it muy easy doing this reading, it was actually not as bad as I thought it was!

Here it is down below! Tell me my mistakes down in the comments below.

(Sorry if the presentation is too big 😅) Thank you for reading, see you in the next blog.

Bye! 🙂

24. Bee Business – Reading

Talofa lava!

For reading this week, as you can see in the title, we (The group I’m in Karearea.) are doing a reading slide about bees with another group, which is the highest reading community in my class – Tui. 

The reading slideshow is about bees and explains that when you read or watch the things added in the slides, you can earn information and achieve the main stuff about bees to become a bee master (Referring to being a professional at knowing what bees are and what they do.)

I’ve actually learnt heaps of things about bees that I’ve actually never managed to perceive. Like that Female Bees (some of them) are the ones who work, aka the Worker Bees. Their job is to help manufacture the honeycomb – something you can consume with no trouble. Now introducing the Male Bees, are the Drone’s – Their job is to produce more bees with the queen. The Queen Bee can establish over 1,500 bees per day – if the Drone helps assist to keep the Queen healthy.

That’s all the things that I have to korero. Comment your opinion on bees, including your thoughts.

C’ya in the next post!
