Social Studies : Maori Land March 'Mapping'

Last term our social studies class did minor work around the Maori Land March. To redo part of that work the class had a mapping task, which was using Google Earth and mark the places that everyone in the Land March Stayed in, Auckland and Palmerston North were used twice (The day apon arival and a rest day) Before departing again.
The Land March started on the 14 of sepetember 1975 and finished on the 13 of October 1975.
It was pretty easy to use google earth to make a list of the places they stayed at.
If I were to do this again I don't think I'd do anything differently.

Lockdown : Number of the day

NUMBER OF THE DAY :
422

1. In Words = four hundred and twenty two
2. 10 less = 412
3. 15 more = 467 * 437 (Don't ask how I got it wrong) 
4. Add 115 = 537 
5. Round to nearest 100 =400
6. Odd or even? = even
7. Complete the pattern. Add 8: 422, = 430, 438, 446
8. List some factors = 1, 2, 211, 422
9. Divisible by 3? = No
10. Find one tenth = 42.2

9/10 
My mistake (no. 3) would be due to the fact I am tired while doing this task.

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
