Passion Projects: Pizza slideshow

We have made a slideshow about the pizza, here it is.  I hope you enjoy

Passion Projects: Pizza

Today the 29/11/2018 we finished making the pizza. We put cheese, sauce, beef and onion on our pizza. In the process of making the pizza, we took some photos and videos to show you that show our results.

Here they are:

This is our dough:

 The next 7 photos are of us making our pizzas:

This is one of our pizzas before it was cooked:

What we could do differently next time is make sure that whoever

joins our group is going to do their part. We could also make sure that everyone is doing their part and we should make it fair for everyone.

Passion Projects: Update

We have minced the beef,  made the sauce and made the dough.  As I am writing, the dough is rising.  On Thursday we will be stretching the dough out and putting the sauce on.  We will then put the toppings of our choice on top of the pre-pizza.  Our toppings are: Capsicum, Mushroom, Cheese, Beef and Onion. 

Here are some videos/picture:

Passion Projects

For Passion Projects we had to fill in a form and then we were put into a group based on our form.  I got put into discovery.  When I got into discovery I was thinking about what I was going to do. I joined Noah's group and then we decided we were going to make pizza.  We researched and then found out what we needed for the pizza and so we had to bring the items that we needed. We also had to do some paperwork as well. After that, all we had to do was wait...

Yurtle the Turtle

Yurtle the Turtle is a female red eared slider turtle.  Our class had the choice to swap our frogs (Belle and Yoda) to a turtle from South Bernadettes named Yurtle. Our class loved the idea and so we had to write letters to St Bernadettes to persuade them to swap the turtle for our frogs. We had to list a lot of things to make sure they were fully persuaded. We also had to talk about how we were going to take care of Yurtle, for example, we had to say that we have someone who will feed her, take her for walks and much more.  They said they loved how people said that when you stay quiet the frogs make fart sounds.  We are enjoying having Yurtle because we are currently learning about her. 

Here are some pictures of Yurtle.

Buisness and Enterprise

This term we have business and enterprise or B&E for short, for Kete.  At the start we had to go into groups of three or four and choose a topic. After that we had to pick a product according to the topic we chose.  After that we had to choose the things we needed.  Our budget was twenty dollars.  My group chose slime as our product and we found an easy recipe.  All we had to do at that point was finish our poster.  When we finished our poster, it got challenging.  We had to make 45 small bags of slime!  And we still have to, before market day tomorrow.  How are we going to do it?  We are going to make it at home until we are done.

Our gravitational Inquiry

For the past few weeks we have been working on our inquiries.  Lasa and I chose physics to base our inquiry on.  We have been working on it for a long time.  We had to think of a question we wanted to answer, we found it.

What is the relationship between gravity and weight?

We made an iMovie and put it onto a google slide.  It shows all the work we put into our inquiry.  We hope you like it.

Maths - Integers

Last week my maths group had to learn about integers, there was only one person in our group who didn't know about integers at first but then they got the hang of it.  it was really fun doing maths with integers because it was like heaven and hell, positives and negatives.  Integers are negative numbers, basically they are numbers under zero.  You can plus negative numbers with each other, plus negative numbers, but if you plus a negative and a positive number like -5 + 3 you will have to make the negative number go up because of the positive numbers.  So the answer would be -2 because you are adding the positive three to the negative five.  The three pulls the -5 closer to the zero.  Subtracting is basically the opposite.  I have made a simple graph to help everyone understand.  I hope this has helped you understand integers easier.

WE ARE Poem

We had to write a WE ARE poem to show what community we are in, I chose Hornby High and I immediately knew what to write.  So this is my WE ARE poem, I hope you like it because it describes the values and teamwork of Hornby High.

Here it is:

I AM Poem

This is my I am poem, read from left to right otherwise you aren't reading it properly.  I have worked hard on this and I really hope you enjoy it, I put two lovely backgrounds in so it would look awesome and so it would show both of the different sides of me.  Here it is:

My Narrative Writing

This week Mr. Mitchell told us we had to pick a number from 50 selected story summaries. The link is here:
https://sites.google.com/a/hornby.school.nz/mt/7write

I picked 22, I had to write a made up story about a dangerous experience.  

This is my writing:

22 - A dangerous experience

I was on my way to school, and Mum was acting weirdly when she was driving.  Suddenly, she passed out! I had to steer the wheel, so I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaped into the front seat to help steer the wheel… I did it!  I managed to get mums foot of the pedal and I steered the wheel until it was safe. I got Mums phone and called 111 so she could get an ambulance…

“Hello, what’s your emergency?” The person on the other line said.“Hi, uhh yes I’ve almost been in a crash with my mum and she passed out, we are on waterloo road!  Near the school I go to, Hornby High School, I need an ambulance for my mum immediately!” I said as I panicked.  I waited and waited and… An ambulance came!!! I was never so happy to see an ambulance in my life! But… It just went right past us.  
Oh I know! I have to signal something so they know I’m here with my mum.  I take Mum out of the car onto the sidewalk so the ambulance can see Mum and I.  The ambulance sees us! I see the ambulance coming towards us…

I wake up and I’m in my bed with my mum telling me to get up and get ready for school…

The Goody Gum Drop Land vs The Creamy Vanilla Heaven

In Week 4 Mr. Mitchell (My Teacher) Bought Ice cream for us to write about, it was vanilla Ice Cream.  This Week Mr. Mitchell bought ice cream again for us to taste and write about.

This weeks Ice Cream was Goody gum drops.

I have put both my Finals on this blog post for you to read.

Here's the Goody Gum Drops:

The Ice cream looked so creamy and gooey like it was a slime monster that was edible and delicious!  It smells like a minty world mixed with a lolly land that I can live in forever.  

The ice cream is named goody gum drops for a reason, the lollies are so chewy

like bubblegum frozen like a Popsicle.  The gum drops look like skittles if they

were frozen in a minty ice cream heaven!  It tastes like a minty meltdown that has turned

into gooey goo that is devouring the gum drops like a lion devours its prey.  The ice cream

is so yum it’s like I can’t stop thinking about how mouthwatering and how palatable it is.  

It’s so tummy-twisting that I can’t help myself but eat more!  I think that you should buy

goody gum drops so you can try it for yourself.  Make sure to save me some Aha.

Now here's the Vanilla Writing:

The ice cream tasted like a creamy meltdown in my mouth, like a tasty luscious

mountain of snow!  The ice cream looked as silky as a scarf made of scales and wool.  

The ice cream smelled as minty as a snowman made of a pack of minty bubblegum!  

The ice cream felt like an icy piece of vanilla chocolate that was melted up into loads of mini

frosted treats!  It was really delightful to taste and it was a real treat to have!  I loved eating

the ice cream because it was like I was in the middle of a room made of delectable ice cream

and it was like I was in an all you can eat buffet! In conclusion, I would say buy this ice cream because this ice cream is completely and utterly amazing if you want to buy a treat for

yourself, it’s cheap and definitely worth the indescribable flavour!

Now, I want you to decide which one you think is better?
