Lockdown Daily Challenge

 For one of my Wananga tasks Miss Bancroft had a daily challenge. Todays challenge was:

I saw it and instantly had a spark of inspiration, so i whiped out my drawing app on my phone and got arty.

About 50 minutes later I finished.

I used a Warm and Cool colour wheel and started out with the face of a cat in black, I then started sectioning out areas and used the sunset themed colours for the warm, and the cool colours consisted of colours of the sky with green and pinks/purples for details. It looked kind of bland after that so I added in some black and white details. The final piece looks amazing and I'm proud of what I've made.

Home Economics : Chicken Stir Fry

In Home Economics on Thursday we made a Chicken Stir Fry, it was in groups of 3-4. I worked with Charlize and Lily (Steel). Final Product below. Images of the process at the end.

Chicken Stir Fry

1 Chicken Breast

1 Carrot - julienne strip

1 Onion - diced

3-4 pieces of Broccoli - small florets

Other Vegetables - capsicum, mushrooms, peas, corn, celery, chilli etc 

2 Table Spoons of Sesame oil

1 packet of 2 min Noodles

Large/Deep Frying pan

Chopping boards to cut the chicken and vegetables

Pot for the noodles

Strainer to Strain the noodles

Table Spoon

Knives

Wood spoons for mixing the food

Method

1. Cut the chicken into strips.

2. Mix the chicken with the sesame oil.

3. Prepare vegetables.

4. Saute chicken and onions together. This means to cook the two ingredients quickly and until brown.

5. Add broccoli and carrots and cook for five minutes.

6. Add remaining vegetables of your choice and cook for a further 5 min.

7. Bring a pot of water to a boil.

8. Add the broken noddles into the pot and cook for two minutes

9. Drain noodles in a colander and add to the vegetable and chicken mixture. Mix together lightly.

10.  Serve.

.The meal was spicy but still pretty good, I didn't have much of it as it was given to a family member, the nutrients provided in this meal would be: 
Proteins, due to the meat.
Carbohydrates, from the noodles.
Fats, from the meats.
Vitamins and Minerals, from the food.

Social Studies : Human Rights

 In Social Studies the class has been learning about the Human Rights (yes, all 30 of them) using these links: Human Rights and Simpler Human Rights. With those we had two tasks. Either create a Poster that includes the Human Rights, all 30 must be used and presented in a high standard. Or get in a group, no more than four people and rank 5 to 10 Human Rights that are the most important. 

Me and Charlize did the second option, we found the top ten (not in order) and added our reasoning's.

Wananga : Maths

 Doing my word problem work I searched through for the needed number and then solved my problem from there on.

Eg: There are 77 biscuits in a packet. A supermarket orders 9778 packets. How many biscuits will be in the 9778 packets? 

I looked for the two numbers needed in the problem:

There are 77 biscuits in a packet. A supermarket orders 9778 packets. How many biscuits will be in the 9778 packets?

I then wrote the numbers in this format: 

                          9778
                       x     77

And then began solving it.

                          9778
                       x     77
                         68446
                    x 684460
                       752906

The final answer is 752 906.

So the amount of biscuits that will be in 9778 Packets is 752, 906

Pita Pockets

In foods everyone was assigned the task of making a Pita Bread Pockets on Thursday. All the ingredients were ready, the Pita Bread, sauces, cheese, carrot, sliced ham and shredded chicken and other foods.

First step : Get ingredients ready and cut the Pita Bread open in the middle to reveal the air pocket.

And the next step, which was simple,

add your ingredients into the pockets.

Health : Obesity

In health the class got to pick a topic and 6 big questions. The topic I chose was Obesity.

My main questions were:
Why would someone not be strongly with or against this topic/issue?
What are the long term effects of obesity on mental health?
Who is Involved?
How does society react to Obesity?
When and how did this issue come about?
What causes this issue? (Linking to - When and How did this Issue Come about?)

These questions were all colour coded, Red being difficult, Orange being middle ranged, and green being easy. The sixth question was a chose your own question. 

Ways to deal (fix and possibly prevent) Obesity.

While obesity can be caused by Genetics you can always deal with it by seeking medical help, getting a healthy diet, and getting exercise.

English : Gloriavale

In English, amongst reading a book called Abomination Mrs Handley our English teacher had the class watch a documentary about Gloriavale. If you haven't heard of Gloriavale its a religious community.

Gloriavale's traditions appear more 19th century possibly earlier. The males do all the handy work. Building, farming, engineering while the females do all the 'easy' tasks. Cooking, making clothes, doing washing, teaching and so fourth.

The education would be from preschool up until year 10, if you are able to become a teacher or midwife example you'd get more education.

Around the age of two or three you'll start to receive chores, putting washing away, vacuuming and as you get older you'd get harder jobs. For females that could be helping with cooking, males could be helping with the farming.

While Gloriavale follows the Christian religion, there is a lot of things they do. You get no say in who you marry, the first meeting is the proposal, and the first time you touch is when you officially get married at the wedding. Many more things are put in place to stay with god.

Those who live in Gloriavale are happy as its the only life they have, they don't know any different from the way they live.

People in Gloriavale don't have the human rights they deserve, they don't get to make choices for themselves, the clothing they wear, what they eat, who they marry and live with and so on. If I had the choice I'd never live in Gloriavale nor be happy living there due to the lack of freedom I'd have.

Wananga : Math

 Yesterday (Monday 2nd August) Miss Bancroft helped me with figuring out how to converting Percentages into fractions, decimals into Percentages and with finding the HCF (highest common factor).

Example Question-
56% to Fraction.

Take the 56 and put it over a Hundred like so 56/100.
The reasoning being that a percent is out of 100.

That would be correct if you didn't need to simplify it. To simplify it you find out what number both can be divisible by.

56 ÷ 2 = 28

100 ÷ 2 = 50 

That makes 28/50. These numbers can be divided again.

28 ÷ 2 = 14

50 ÷ 2 = 25 

Making 14/25. These numbers can be divided again but they cannot be divided by the same number. So the Answer of 56% to a Fraction would be 14/25.

Example Question 2 -

.85 into Percent.

To make a decimal into percentage you times the number by 100 (moving the dot 2 spaces to the right.)

The answer would be 85%

If you had 8.719 and had to make it into a percent you follow the same procedure. Having the answer of 871.9%

Example Question 3 - 

45 / 5 Find the HCF

A factor is all the numbers that make a number up. 45 can be divided by: 1, 5, 9, 45. 5 can be divided by: 1, 5.

So the highest common factor would be 5.
