What I Did At Tech

At tech today we made chicken curry. We brought our chromebooks but we did not use them. The fist thing we had to do was get our biggest pot and one pan. The our teacher told us to bring out our pan to her table and she will  put some Indian curry sauce in the pan. She added some other ingredients then we had to stir for about 20 minutes. Then we had to put our chicken in our pot and  then we had to put the pot on the stove and when it was boiling then the teacher will come and check and if it is ready then we put the chicken into the pan and we mix it with the source.  Then put on the stove and wait till it is boiling. Then we were done and she got the rice out and we had to put the chicken on top and make it look nice. We had to take a picture and send it to our mail and then we can make a blog post and send it to her.

Back To School

The holidays are over and Term three has started. I am so excited to be back at school and keen to learn. First day back and we have started to look back on our learning back in term two to refresh our memory. This term there are lots of things to look forward to like netball, rugby, athletics and cross country. After skipping back in term two we went on a two week holiday. In the holidays I had nothing to do so I registered on the winter learning journey. A blogging program with schools in the Manaiakalani cluster.

My Big Journey

On my amazing journey I've learned a lot of new things like places I didn't know that are in Auckland, and new things I learned about the Maori culture. The things I mostly liked on My Kiwi Road Trip was all the different places we went to go and visit. What I liked was the native bird I got to adopt which is called a Morepork, it looked so cute and it was so fluffy.
