First EOTC Week!

First EOTC Week!

Last week on Thursday we had our first EOTC day, that stands for Education Outside The Classroom. For a year I've been here I heard that they do this every year with the Trekkers which are the class 's of Ako Ngathi and Ruma Toru. The first thing we did was vote for what we wanted  to do and also we could suggest things for it, like if we wanted to go camping etc. Then in term 4 during the last 2 weeks we would do those activities, also I heard that it's very fun, now it was my time to find out.

Now at the first EOTC day, we went surfing and body boarding at Sumner which we took the bus to go there. In the bus (of course I'm with my friends) we were making jokes, laughing and playing. Then after a long ride, it was the  time to get out of the bus. Before any of us did anything  a woman introduced herself and a group of people.  In Sumner at a place which they teach children how to do surfing and body boarding, one of the people in the group  taught us how to see if the weather is good or not, it the waves  are rough of smooth and what are the dangers.

Next another person taught us what the parts of the body board are and how to ride it and the same thing for the surf board.  

After all that we were put in groups  of 3 and then were put in two groups which can be seals and dolphins  and one of us had to do that surfing and one the other.

 We were tired, we rested and had some food.

In the afternoon the seals and the dolphins have to switch whatever they were doing  like if the seals were doing surfing in the morning they would do body boarding in the afternoon.

I liked  body boarding the most because surfing was kinda tough and body boarding was a lot easier any ways bye! next up the 2nd and third part.

 

Diwali

Last, last week my group and the others was ask to do a Diwali presentation to show what we learnt about it. Our group chose the history of Diwali to make our presentation, then we made a poster. I hope you will like it, enjoy bye!

Future me

This is a story that I want my future me to see and remember.
These weeks we had to write a story for our future person will see. We had to  finish it by today, here is it .
I worked hard so I hope you'll like it. Bye!

Dear future me

In  this time that you’re reading this writing you’re about 25 or even 70 - 100 years old (if you forgot about it and the you logged into your account and you saw this) (if you are lucky to turn that old). As you may remember these are your objectives, desires and dreams, when you were about 10 years old.

Your main objectives was your career in life. You wanted to do many jobs and many positions. First of all you wanted to be a director because of your love in movies, cartoons and in anime. Then you wanted to be a doctor to heal the sick and help the people.

Thirdly you had a dream to be a youtuber and even a man who studies and look for animals. Next you dreamed of being an architect, for you to be a much better drawer and for your crave of designing buildings. After all of that, you also liked writing and really wanted to be an Author. Most of all your loved career was to be a astrobiologist, the reason you wanted to be this was, you absolutely loved fossils and prehistoric animals, so you wanted to be that kind of person.

At this time you have been wanting to travel around the world and be in different places. You have loved the world because of the nature and the people that surrounds it, so you wanted to travel around, it doesn’t matter where you were, and you are happy that you are at least there to see that place’s beauty. Yet  you like places that have many animals, calm, aggressive, venomous and even deadly.

Secondly your loved of piano and Taekwondo never vanished. Each and everyday you imagined to be a great pianist like Beethoven, and a master at taekwondo to at least protect myself and my family from danger.

Also you  like solving mysteries. You like the ocean and wanted to solve all the mysteries that are in it, even though you know the scientist only discovered 5% you never gave up and wanted to solve the remaining 95%. After you wanted to solve how was the world made and when it was made. Lastly you had wanted to solve that mystery of life, the paranormal and all the remaining mysteries.

Lastly even though this is not in your career or the thing that you want to do in life, I want you just to remember when you were a child. At your childhood you were always bad you like pissing your grandma's and great grandma off. But even though you always make them mad, you always loved them, and you get along pretty well. You loved going out with them, then  even though there old, one of your grandma always take you to school and help you buy things. All of them support, and loved you, that is why you proud to be their grandchild.

Here are the names of your grandmas that you always hang out with.

In case you forgot.

Pauline, Flora and  Aurora

P.S

Do all that please, and love your grandmas

Your one only 10 years old me ;)

W.A. L.T Find a Fraction of a Number

Today I made a video about our W.A.L.T which is to find a fraction of a number. I liked making this video and also while making this video I discovered another way of it so I include that same method but in a different way. Anyway I hope you'll learn it bye!!

The Lie

This past week we looked at a video called The Lie it was about children that were told lie, like they said that black people are thieves,  but they told people the truth in the video, that all of them are not thieves. After watching that video our teacher Mr. Scott told us to do something like that, but write it. This is the lie that I heard people and kids said to me and to others.
Since I was blogging here was writing mostly happy blogs, but today is different, anyway I hope you'll like it, also I have a question Did you ever do this or are you relating to what I experienced? Bye!!

Diwali

Today I have made my comparison about the Diwali, the Christmas and the things that are the same about them. I really enjoyed making this and I really hope you will enjoy looking at this too. Coming up next would be my presentation about it so stay tuned bye!

Earthquake!!

This is about earthquakes and what could it cause we were told to this because on what we experience this day, the earthquake at New Zealand. We have just done this today I hope you will like it Bye!!

My Persuasive Writing!

These past weeks we have been learning about health and nutrition. We had learnt about how to be healthy and even how to choose your food. Then at the 3rd week of this term we have to write a persuasive writing about our favorite food. I chose kalamay because I absolutely love it, after I had research some facts about this food and then wrote them in my own words and add what I already know about it. I really hope you'll be persuade to eat this Filipino food because I am, yet see you next time; Bye!!!!

Hook:

There is a sticky food that means “sugar” and it’s a delicacy in the Philippines, what is it? Kalamay!! It is a delicacy that is similar to Nian gao which is also a delicacy, but in China. Also it is a cousin of the dodol which is found over Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and in some parts of the Philippines!!! Did you know, that there is not just one kind of kalamay around the Philippines? Because there are dozens! From the dozens of region that are in there!

Arguments:

It is not a grain. But is made with it, it might not beat a vegetable with it’s nutrition, yet is good. The kalamay have many calories that would make you fast as flash, it depends on what ingredients you choose. The kalamay has only a bit of sugar and fat so don’t worry, the fat and sugar that you put in it can be also good for your nutrition so you can keep a balance diet. If you're feeling down and a bit tired you could eat kalamay to make your body feel as strong as superman in a flash. (Down below are the nutrition facts about the kalamay na latik)

Calories	45	Sodium	2 mg
Total Fat	1 g	Potassium	13 mg
Saturated	1 g	Total Carbs	9 g
Polyunsaturated	0 g	Dietary Fiber	0 g
Monounsaturated	0 g	Sugars	2 g
Trans	0 g	Protein	1 g
Cholesterol	0 mg
Vitamin A	0%	Calcium	0%
Vitamin C	0%	Iron	1%

It could have many usage like a delicious, delectable dessert and can also  be an exchange for a  mouth watering cake, if you don’t have one. It gives lots  and lots of energy and very healthy. And also you can make different kinds of them, like the kalamay na ube/purple, kalamay na latik, sapin sapin and many other more. You can even make one right now.

There are dozens of the kinds of the kalamay but this is my personal favorite, the kalamay na latik. This is the recipe.

First you will need

2¼ cups muscovado or brown sugar

2 cups coconut milk

2 cups coconut cream

½ cup water

½ cup of Latik

to make kalamay

Then just follow this steps

1. Firstly prepare a plate or round pan that you will use for the kalamay. Then start by placing a clean banana leaf or a parchment paper over it. Brush some cooking oil or coconut oil on the banana leaf or if it is parchment paper don’t put the oil. After set it aside.
2. Now what you will do is combine the coconut milk, coconut cream, water, and glutinous rice flour in a deep cooking pot. Next  mix it well until the texture of the mixture becomes soft. You can use wire whisk if necessary.
3. Afterwards turn the heat on to medium. Now Gradually stir it until the mixture starts to get hot or warm. While stirring you might notice that lumps will form,  but continue to stir until bubbles appear.
4. At this moment set the heat to low-medium. Next continue to stir for about15 minutes.
5. Add the sugar. After mix well to incorporate.  Continue your mixing for the next 30 to 40 minutes or just until the mixture becomes really thick and the color turns dark brown.
6. Now you can transfer the thick mixture on the prepared plate or pan that we made.
7. You can spread and top with latik if you want to( the recipe is at a website, here is the link latik.

 Let it cool for a few minutes or eat it hot.

Ending:

All of that are only in one kind of kalamay. So now think of the kalamay there still is. More nutrients, more treats, more taste. Sometimes it can also be bad, yes. But the kalamay have many nutrients, you can either choose other stuff to put it on the top when it’s done so it will be more healthier or take a fruit and eat it with the kalamay. Also you can taste the taste of what filipinos taste, taste the food of many other religions, is a great treat and the most delicious, most yummiest treat in the world.  Also when eating it, it gives me such energy that I want to run around the world. Now that you know a bit more of the delicious food you can make, then eat it, or maybe do some more research about it, but I hope you will atleast try the Kalamay.
Now these are the strategy that I used in my writing

Facts & Statistics	There is a sticky food that means “sugar” and it’s a delicacy in the Philippines, what is it? Kalamay!!

Also it is a cousin of the dodol which is found over Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and in some parts of the Philippines!!! Did you know? that there is not just one kind of kalamay around the Philippines, there are dozen from the dozens of region  that are in there.

Master Chef Day!

Today is a great day, because today is master chef day. This day we are learning how to be a master chef and how to make a healthy food for our shared lunch. Early at the day we still need some stuff to make our healthy foods, and I was chose to go grocery shopping with my friends and some adults. We had a great time looking for stuff that we need and we even had people in charge for the things.

After we went back to school....

Next while in school we went making the food that we picked to make. We took the ingredients and had classmate's mothers help. We worked hard, all of us helped in the making of the food which is, chicken kebab.

Finally it was over, all of us in the group went into morning tea and ate. While we had the break the teachers went and prepared the delicious food. After in lunch it was prepared, then we ate. We had a fun day and a fun time, I hope if we ever do this again maybe my group could manage our time more wisely, but anyway it was great.

that was the end and I hope you enjoyed it Bye!!

W.A.L.T Subtract decimals

This is my video or my explanation of Subtracting decimals I really hope you'll like it, Bye!!!

Making Good Decisions

Yesterday and today I learnt about the Food Labels in manufactured food. It seems to be that you only need 24g of sugar, 1.5gm of sodium, 22gm of saturated & trans fat, 34gm of protein, 28gm of fiber and 2,000gm of calories. Yesterday I also learnt that the saturated and trans fat are the bad fats, while the polyunsaturated fats and the monounsaturated fats are the good ones.

W.A.L.T Adding Decimals Using Compensation

W.A.L.T Adding Decimals Using Compensation

First let’s take a look at our question:

7.89 + 6.74 =

Now let’s think, what can we add to make this easier.

How about 0.01, to make the number 7.89 be 7.9.

Now here we have 7.9 and how about the other number 6.74.

Tip: If a number that you want to round up in this method you can take the number of and let it stay until you can put it in.

We can actually take the 0.04 out of the 6.74 to make it easier, so now we have 7.9 and 6.7.

Add them to together

 6.7

 7.9

1..46

Let’s take the 0.04 and add it in here, this would be 1.5 and now take out the 0.01 that we add, (Tip: if you add a number after you should take it out and if you took out a number you need to add it after)

And the answer is 1.49

My next step is: multiply decimals to two decimals places.

W.A.L.T add decimals to two decimal places.

Last, last week we learnt of how to add decimals to two decimal places. Then I made a video about which is this. I really like this method and I wish you will too. I hope you will have a nice day, week, month and even a year, bye!!

St. Nicholas Feast

This is a short story of what I did on the time I was on the Philippines. We did this for the past week to tell everybody what is the story about. I really enjoyed what I did and enjoyed writing this. I wish you have a nice day, bye!!!

At the 30th of December, we wanted to celebrate the festival of St. Nicholas , because we always celebrate it and so we can get together. My aunties, uncles, grandparents, cousin, parents and I were in  there, always. We celebrated it at Philipines in my house. On that time I desired or wanted to have lots of fun, everyone will attend and have a bit of good luck.

On the 29th of December at evening, we planned what will we cook, we thought of ingredients that we need, all of us thought of really yummy food which we need yummy ingredients too. While I listen to the conversation I felt like a chief with other chiefs that want to cook  for a president. I can hear the Ideas that filled my brain and I can smell the odor, it is  like a food of a god (or maybe not that I imagine that it is really just my dog’s well you know, outside, but I’m just changing the smell by Imagining it). Some of the food we thought were, Lutung kamatis that need tomato sauce and crabs, BBQ which needed pork and and seasoning, Sherbet which is like Ice cream, desserts like Ube and some more.

( there are some more ingredients in those food and there are more food but I don’t want to write them all and I forgot about them).

Next day my grandparents went off at 3:30 am to get the ingredients that we need.(The reason I didn’t come because I was still asleep and I’m a bit tired)

They came back prepared what they need I heard the noise and

I woke up I helped them I mixed what I need to mix and do what I need to do.

I detected the smell and I know that something was suspicious, there was scent of Ube, but we were not cooking Ube. Who was?.........

 

There was a noise. (Clack!). I went out, went to where the noise started. I saw somebody cooking, she had a short hair that have a color of brown, after that…..

I remembered that my great grandma was cooking at the other kitchen. She was cooking one of the favourite Ube.

My mum and my other grandma told me to clean and arrange the chairs where the visitors will sit on. I took all the chairs, tables and couches, then put them on the right place. Finally it was done, but I still needed  to clean them.

Coming next, most of the food were done. We serve them on the big table and position them one by one. From the lightest to the heaviest we serve them together, with the help of my mum and grandparents.

While putting the food on the table near the kitchen, my Dad's mother that is my grandparent came with my cousins who is their grandmother and all of them in pulung masle came into our house like my cousins husband, and their child, my other grandparents that was my dad’s mother’s and father's cousins.Next up my great grandparents cousin came to eat and to have a conversation with my great grandmother. My mother’s friends and my dad’s friends came too with their children (which is a lot!)

The temperature was hot so my parents told me to turn on the air-con so it would be more comfortable. We played, who can catch more bubbles the most, tag, “Try not to get scared challenge” and many more. ( At the “Try not to get scared challenge”, the brother of my cousin cried of horror, but nobody got in trouble)

After we played, all of our visitors went away and thanked us for the food.That is my St. Nicholas feast.

I really enjoyed all the things that we had done. I loved that most all of us were together because the only thing I care about is my family. It was a fun experience that I had, one of the most exciting things I had ever experienced.  I was also sad because that day was a step closer of going away from the Phillipines.

Swimming!

This term we we're gonna go swim for 2 weeks, and today we did some swimming, we went to Canterbury Swim School, we had to pay 40$ for it, the place was teaching kids moves of how to swim. They taught us some moves, while were in there, in our group, our instructor taught us how to do freestyle move properly we had a warm up, we had a board for it. We went again and again until we perfected it, we circled many times at the space we were in. After we did it we had to do it without the board we did pretty well, then we had to go. All of us went to school and ate our morning tea. That is just a bit of information from what we did today, I really liked the swimming school and I'm sure I will enjoy doing it for the couple of weeks.

We wanted to present it, it will be presented at Hornby Primary School at the hall. I was doing it with Brielle, Khush and Vann. It will be at the 22nd of August at 12pm. Our film is about the Mariana trench which is the most deepest part of the ocean known today. I enjoyed it, it was fun making this movie and it's a bit challenging when someone is not there, because we need to make arrangements again. I wish you can go in our movie because we are working hard on it, but anyways I hope you'll like it. Bye!!!
