It was actually easy but the dishes part wasn’t ! We baked the banana muffins and got my Papa to try them out first and he said it’s good especially for our first. Time attempting to do this. 

It was so fun and the end results were good !!

Rm 11's Chocolate Hedgehogs

Yesterday In Room 11 we made Chocolate Hedgehogs to celebrate Easter ! Making Chocolate Hedgehogs is real easy but it can get a bit too messy . We were put into groups so we can have 2 at a time in the Kitchen and my group and another group were one of the first to start making the Chocolate Hedgehog Easter eggs. When we got it out of the freezer it was real blocked up so we let it sit for a bit so it can be a bit easier to slice up , My group went and gave our Principal a try because yeah he thinks hes the best at everything so we went and he had a taste and he thought it was Delicious but he still thinks that his Hedgehog slices are better !!! :)

I want to thank Miss Tupou for giving us the opportunity to cook in Term 1 !

 For this activity I had to list down facts about why we had to do this and that during a Google Meet with our class ! When I'm in our class Google Meets Miss Tupou always encourages us to talk with our mic on so When we first started lockdown this year I was a bit too shy to talk with my mic on but now I'm confident and Im used to talking with my mic on but sometimes I just forget to turn it on ! Miss Tupou always tells the students who have their camera off to turn it on too and I think the Camera one is important so The Teacher can see our face !

Maths Home Learning - Day 3

 

For This week in the math group I am in we are learning about Place Value Partitioning. And I have learnt a lot from the video I watched about this and now I am happy that I find it easy. On the Right side of the picture it is how I worked out my answers and in the video there was a strategy that we had to add the closest number to a whole tidy number ! And then the other set of numbers we had to takeaway it by how much we added to make a whole number for example 62.4 + 13.9 = So I have to find the closest number to a tidy whole number and it 13.9 so I add 1 and that equals 14.0 then I takeaway 1 from 62.4 which equals 62.3 then I add 14.0 + 62.3 which equals 76.3 . So thats how you do it and if you need help even more search it up on YouTube or ask a family member ?

KIA KAHA CHALLENGE - DAY 3

 For our Kia Kaha challenge today we had to listen to a song by Justin Bieber but I think you guys know this song !!! It’s called... INTENTIONS 😁 This song is a good song because it has a amazing message that is about having good intentions.
