What it means to be successful
This year of 2018 my maths work was marked as a 5A and a 4E for algebra and statistics. To me, this was a very successful moment mostly because I worked hard to get that mark. I tried my hardest and never gave up when things got hard, I kept pushing through and it got me to the mark that I have now. And if I had, to be honest, I'm very happy with that mark because I pushed myself to achieve my goal of getting a higher mark than my last. To me it meant the world to know that all my studying and hard work paid off.

Maze game and flappy bird codes
Maze game and flappy bird codes
In the maze game that was assigned to us, I used the code blocks labelled, move forward, turn left, turn right, repeat 5 times, repeat until, if path turn left do, if path turn right do. Those are the types of codes that helped me move forward to defeat the bad guy. for example, if I wanted to move forward I would use the "move forward" code.
In the flappy bird game, they provided a different type of codes. Ones like, flap, end game, flap a normal amount, score a point and codes that helped up create our own flappy bird game. For example, if I wanted to fly forward I would use the "flap" code to move forward. I learnt a lot of things from this exercise, from how to code an object to move forward to how to code a whole game by myself.

Sponge cake
Sponge Cake
Today in cooking class we learnt how to make a sponge cake. In class the skills we learnt was how to use an electric mixer. We were still building our confidence in reading the ingredients off the board. It was a very simple dessert to make. We only had 3 ingredients which were eggs, flour and some sugar. The cake was mouth watering. The sponge cake that we made was the ending to all our cooking in food technology.

Coconut cookies
Make coconut cookies
Today in cooking class we made some coconut cookies. By making the cookies we were building our confidence in reading the ingredients and also in measuring them. The coconut cookies tasted just like the name that they were given. It consisted of coconuts and tasted so much like it too. The cookies were very delicious when they are freshly cooked because they were nice, soft and moist. The cookies tasted amazing but it was just a bit to oily for my liking. I just can't wait to see what we will learn in out next cooking class.

Chocolate muffins
Name: Limi 13 March 2018
Chocolate Muffins
In food tech today we learnt how to make chocolate muffins. It was just the same as making coloured muffin but instead of adding food colouring, we added in Coco powder. We learnt how to fold in the batter and not mix it. We also learnt how to measure the ingredients and how to read it as well. Today’s lesson was really fun and I can’t wait to see what we will be cooking next.

Pasta salad
On Tuesday the 27th of February, in food tech we had the chance to make a pasta salad.
While cooking this salad we learnt how to slice and dice some onions and tomatoes.
During our time in the kitchen, we also learnt how to cook pasta and also how to fry ham and onions.
Another technique we learnt was how to properly mix the pasta when we added in another ingredient.
For this pasta salad, we had pasta, tomatoes, onions, ham, corn and some mayo. When we had the chance to taste the salad it didn't have too much flavour so to tried to give it a little oomph with a little salt.

Multi coloured muffins
Multi coloured muffins
On Tuesday the 13th of February my class and I had cooking class. For class that day we were learning how to make multi coloured muffins. We Learnt how to make the batter with only 6 ingredients. We also learnt how to fold the batter instead of mixing it. After that our teacher taught us how scoop the batter and place it into the tin without any batter getting on the table/floor/tin. It is called multi coloured muffins because one of the main ingredients is food colouring. We baked them for 15 minutes at 180oC and waited patiently. When they where done we had a nice pinked coloured muffin ( we used pink food colouring ). It tasted really nice and it was really easy to make.

Looking into the future
Summer Learning Journey - Looking into the future
Activity 1 : What would you like to do when you finish school? Would you like to work in a specific job? Would you like to study at university? What would you study? Maybe you’d even like to move overseas. Share your thoughts and ideas on your blog.
When I finish school I would hope to go to university. At the university I will study to become a flight attendant with my best friend so that we can travel the world together and get paid doing it. I also need to work on my being nice skills and it might really help. After a couple of year doing that job I will go back to University and do Law school because I want to travel the world then go for my true passion which is debating. But I will still live with my parents only to look after them but if they dont want me in the house then im gone, but if not the only time i will ever leave is when they leave first.
Activity 2 : Tell us which of the three cars you would choose and why.
I would choose the modern day car because as me and my once close friend would say, The past is in the past and the future is currently unknown, that's why the present is our gift. And right now my gift would of also been a new car.
Activity 3 : Write a description of what New Zealand will be like at that time (80 – 90 years from now). What kind of houses will people live in? What will they eat? Where will they work?
Fire rages over cities, rubbish piled amongst houses and overflowing the seas. waters from clear blue to dark mucky black. Houses so small not even a family of 4 can fit. people fine dining at the fish and chip shop, smokers throwing hundreds away day after day after day. Not a single animal to be heard when all is silent. Not even the insects would sing at night. hospital beds overflowed by people with poisoning after eating fish from the contaminated waters. people still debating on weather we should save the seagulls or just build more car parks for the motel and hotel across the road from the beach. No one ever goes to the beach, only because the sun burns, its gone way to hot for any one to handel. This is the future I believe we will be living if we keep acting like this.

Social Systems
Summer Learning Journey - Social Systems
Activity 1 : Imagine that you had to form a coalition government with two other people. Who would you choose to partner with?
I would form a coalition with my best friends. My best friend Moana because she will make us laugh but also make sure we get our task done. I would also choose my other best friend Tuakana, because she is really smart, she can have a really great time but she also knows when to be very serious. I also chose them because they are both funny and kind and the fact that we are best friends shows me that we already have each others back.
Activity 2 : Post a picture of your hometown and provide a list of three things that tourists, like us, could do if we came to visit. What do you like most about your hometown?
The pictures that I have provided are just little pieces of my amazing home town. Looking at Glen Innes town center might not be that appealing to you all but once you really go its like nothing you have ever experienced before. From the people to the food nearly everything at GI is amazing. The people of my home town might be scary at first glance but once you give them a nice smile and wave hello they won't seem like any threat. While I live in this amazing yet small town there are many things that you can do you have fun and many advantages. For one there is a place in GI called Te Oro ( its the first picture I put up ). Te Oro I a music and art center, equipped with high tech and they have something amazing going on everyday. We also have a swimming pool, the swimming pool might not look cool but its really fun if you go with the right people. Oh, and the library is also a fun place to go to. Yes, I know that the first thing you think of is boring. But, In a busy place like GI the library is like a spa, you can just relax. Another thing that we have up our sleeves is that we are only take about 10 - 20 minutes to get to Auckland city.
Activity 3 : Draw a floorplan of your classroom and upload it to your blog. Describe what is special about your classroom and why you designed it this way.
The reason why my classroom is unique is because we have our own personal playground. so everyday we can play by ourselves if we want to. We also have a kitchen because our teacher will do cooking with us every day and teach us new things and what to do and what not to do in a kitchen. We also have different shaped tables so that the shapes in our class is not all circles or all squares. We also have large cubby holes so we can fit our bags and school supplies in it. Our class is full of different colours. The walls are yellow with green stripes, and the carpet is light blue with red poke dots. And I forgot to mention 2 things. Our class is right across from the toilet and while our teacher has fun teaching her students have fun being taught.

Like for instance When Miyah a little 6 year old girl who had cancer passed. When I watched the game I could see that he was giving his all and he was out to win for her. But other than that it would have to be him, if not him then stephen curry, lebron james, steve smith or lamelo.

If the money was given to me I would first reserve one hundred fifty million ( half ) and with half of it i would give to charities and homeless people in NZ and Africa. Then with the rest of the money I would bye land for my family in tonga, niue and in New Zealand while also taking them on a trip around the world.

Summer learning Journey - Groovy man ( the 1970's )
Activity 1 : Rank the clips in order from your most favourite (#1) to your least favourite (#3).
1. Ray Columbus and the Invaders
2. New Zealand Underdogs
3. Golden Harvest
Activity 2 : Tell us, on your blog, two things that you like about 1970s fashion and two things that you don’t like about the fashion of the day.
For one I really like the fact that they wore dresses all the time only because at this moment its summer and I'm hot. Another thing I like is the pants, I really like how at the end it fluffs out. BUt the downfall is that the t-shirt that the women are wearing are just so hmmmm, not my kind of style and, the hairstyle that the men have are just so bland and plain there is no flavor or jaz to the look.
Activity 3 : On your blog, write a letter to your principal to try and convince him/her to make the change. Ensure that your letter is polite and respectful.
Dear: Mr Hendriks
Im writing to you today to explain. Explain and persuade you make a change and this one will have not a better but a greater outcome. Mr I'm writing today about why our school should stop giving out homework. So Mr , one example I would like to expose is the fact that it takes up lots of time. While we sit inside and do our homework we could be outside getting some exercise or helping around the house. Another reason I think you should stop giving out homework to kids at school is because it causes stress. Mr you may be looking at this letter with a perplexed look on your face but it's true. We kids stress about the fact that we don't get it or the fact that we won't be able to finish it on time. And it's really unhealthy to stress every single day. Mr you don't have to stress out about why so many kids are coming late to school, it's because of the fact that we have to stay up and finish our homework or chores and things that we couldn't do before. So Mr I hope that you can take my reasons into consideration and hopefully homework will be banned from our school.

Peace Out! ( The 1960's )
Summer Learning Journey - Peace Out ( The 1960's )
Activity 1 : What is your favourite television show at the moment?
At this very moment my favourite television show would have to be Ellen Degeneres. It's about this woman who does really nice things to people she thinks deserves it. On weekdays she is aired on TV 1 every midday.
Activity 2 : Post three interesting facts about The Beatles Tour on your blog.
I know that this was meant to be a one-page poster but when I tried to download it, it didn't work. It just kept saying " This file can not be downloaded."

Activity 2 : Post three interesting facts about The Beatles Tour on your blog.
1. One girl badly hurt her leg from trying to climb the wire fence.
2. The people were trying to get over the wire fence so badly that a group of 30 police had to come and try calm them down, while also seeing that the fence was about to collapse.
3. Teen age girls pushed over police motorbikes and the beatles car was shunted backwards even with the hand brake on.
Activity 3 : Create a one-page poster about Peter Snell
I know that this was meant to be a one-page poster but when I tried to download it, it didn't work. It just kept saying " This file can not be downloaded."

White picket fences ( 1950's )
Summer Learning Journey - White picket fences ( 1950's )
Activity 1 : Tell us if you think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one.
I actually really like the rule. I think that I would enjoy this 1950's dinner. For one it is a meal that I would be able to eat. Its not so much that I can't eat it all and it's not too little to the point that I have to waste it or save some for later. I would also like to eat it because we have a great portion of vegetables and it's also a good portion of meat.
Activity 2 : Tell us which names are currently popular in your school. Please provide, at least, three girls’ names and three boys’ names that are popular.
At my school the most popular girls name was Mya, there was at least 3 girls with that name, but its may not seem that much because the population of our school is very small. And, the most popular boys name at our school Sione. There was at least 5 boys with that name. then it went William with 2 boys with that name. But for the girls it went Jazire with 2 people having that name. But thats all. I've tried to remember all the kids in my school and these are all the names where I could match them with another.
Activity 3 : Imagine that you are living in New Zealand in the 1950s. Design the front of a postcard that you could send to a friend. Be sure to describe what you have drawn on your blog beneath the picture.
In my picture I gathered things off the internet. I got ferns because they are an essential part of NZ. I did the kiwi because it is our traditional animal. I put fish and pavlova on my card too because many of us New Zealanders eat them on special occasions. I then put jandals on it because New Zealanders are known for wearing jandals. I then put elves on it because everyone knows that they help santa make the presents. The I finally put the sentence "Merry Christmas" which was designed very elegantly.
