Japan

In home economics, we are learning about Japan and their culture. Something I learnt while doing this topic was a traditional tea ceremony was only allowed to be prepared by the woman. Compared to New Zealand, Japan takes their time to get lunches ready because to them it is like an art form. Whereas in New Zealand we just throw things into our lunch box our sometimes into our bag and say that that's our lunch. 

Questions about rice:

1. What are 5 different types of rice?
2.  Why is brown rice healthier?
3. What are some fragranced rice?

Souvlaki 🌯

Today in home economics we made souvlakis. While we were prepping the souvlakis we had to cut up some veggies like tomato, cucumber and lettuce and for the carrot, we grated that. We also added cheese and for the meat we used beef and it was thin pieces that were then cut into thin strips so they weren't too big and chunky and could actually fit into the souvlaki wrap. When it came time to put our souvlaki together and closes to finishing the teacher brought out a variety of sauces. In mine I added some mayo onto the wrap and spread that out before I added any filling, Once that was done I then added os of the filling like the carrot then tomato, cucumber cheese and then the meat on top. I then had to rap up the souvlaki and when it was rapped I added some BBQ sauce on top of it. Whilst making this our group teamwork was food and everyone was doing something, there were a few times when some of us weren't but overall it was good and everyone's souvlaki looked good. If I was going to do thins again I think I would want to try one with chicken instead of beef.

Changes we made:
Beef
- Wiener schnitzel
-shredded
Reduced oil
-in marinade
-we put some in the pan when cooking
-some needed to watch the temperature
-sizzle, not stew
-extra liquid
Marinade
-red onion finely chopped
-fresh oregano

Catapult

Catapult

Aim: To calculate the speed.

What we want to happen: 

• We want to be able to make a catapult.
• Calculate the speed it is flying at.
• Have a competition who can make the best one.
• Whos can go the farthest and fastest.
• Who can catch the most marshmallows in their mouth

Equipment:
Creates one catapult

• Popsicle sticks (Around 10)
• Rubber bands (Around 5)
• Plastic bottle cap (1)
• Something to catapult Eg: Small stone, Marshmallow (As many as you want)
• Hot glue
• Plastic cups (4)

Method:

We didn't make it exactly like this but it was similar.
Results:

Marshmallow (Amount)	Test 1	Test 2
1	2m28cm	3m
2	2m11cm	2m
3	1m71cm	1m22cm
4	1m40cm	1m23cm

Test 1: In this chart, you can see the blue line which represents how many marshmallows are used, and the red line is the distance of how far the marshmallows went. As you can see from this chart the distance of the marshmallow decreases as the number of marshmallow increases.

Test 2: In this chart, you can see the blue line which represents how many marshmallows are used, and the red line is the distance of how far the marshmallows went. As you can see from this chart the distance of the marshmallow decreases as the number of marshmallow increases, but unlike test 1 the distance decreased faster and then stays at the same distance and then at the end, it goes up a little bit.

Speech

Self-reflection

Today I am going to be speaking about self-reflection.

Self-reflection is a good thing because you can think about all the things you have done wrong, right, learnt or know. 

Self-reflection is good for when you want to take a break or need to think about something else.

The value of self-reflection.

Reflection is a key learning tool that helps us evaluate our experiences and learn from them.

We are now going to take 2-3 minutes to do some self-reflection. 

For the first minute, I want you to think about a time you faced a challenge in your life.

Go.

30sec. 

1min.

1min 30 sec. ( now think how you faced or overcame the challenge)

2 min.

2min 30sec. ( and how did it turn out in the end)

3min. 

Now the time is up and we have had a chance to self-reflect we will listen to other people's speech.

Something you are proud of:

Actually finishing the speech.

Something you could do differently:

Be more confident and not worry as much maybe talk about something that I am more interested in.

were there any challenges:

While doing this I found it hard to actually talk in front of the class and find the confidence to do it.

pizza 🍕

Last week we made small pizza's and there was 1 pizza per person. On the pizza, you were allowed ham, salami, pineapple, capsicum, onion, mushroom and cheese. the base was made out of flour, greek yoghurt and water we added a little bit of salt into it. Making the pizza was fun and was one of the best practicals we have done so far. Our team work this week was good and the end result was good.
