like. After dipping our chicken in the flour, egg and bread crumbs we got our tray and put foil

over and sprayed the canola oil over it and placed our chicken on the tray. We left it in the oven for 10

minutes, after the 10 minutes we take it out and flip it and put it back in the oven. 

After cooking the chicken we took it out off the oven to let it cool down, then we took our 

lunch boxes to Ms Hamer to get our wedges after that we got our popcorn chicken and add our

New rotation - Tech Term 2

This week we have a new rotation at tech, my group and I are in the cooking class

with Mrs Hamer. On Tuesday at tech we made smoothies but first we had to sort out 

our groups for tech then we went to our classes, when we got to our classes we had to 

find a seat and go put our jumpers/jackets and lunch boxes away, Then grab a appren, wash 

our hands. Then grab dishwashing liquid a cloth, tea towel and a ajax spray bottle and 

put it on the window sill. 

Next we got our equipment. Equipment needed

a knife

a peeler  

chopping board

a blender

measuring cups

and a bowl for chopped fruit/vegetables.

Then we get the ingredients and cooking tools ready. After that we chopped, measured

and blended the ingredients together. After blending we had to pour our drinks 

into our plastic cups and if there were extra in the blender than we had to take a sip

of the smoothie from our cups and pour more until it's finished.  

The ingredients were

1 cup of milk

1/2 Tbsp of yogurt

1/2 a banana, peeled and chopped

1/2 a apple, peeled/not, cored and chopped

chopped spinach

ice cubes

honey/maple syrup

blend for a minute or 2

Before we could drink our smoothies we had to clean our cooking station and 

our dishes then we had to call Mrs Hamer so she can check our cooking and dishes 

after that she took our pictures and we drank our smoothies. It was fun and you should 

try it out.

My dream holiday

 For my dream holiday I would like my family and I to come together and have activities such                        as rugby, volleyball, swimming, netball and others, I would love to see the smiles on my                              family's faces. In the nights I would like to hear the dogs howl like wolves and I                                    would like to hear the wind whistling on Sunday afternoons while we fall asleep. Throughout the               holiday I would like to go on a road trip with my family down to one of the campsites in the            beautiful coromandels. While we are at coromandels I would like my family and I to go fishing and catch some kinas, flounders, snappers and other seafood. That is what I would love for my dream holiday.

The story of the Coggen

 One day there were theses two kids called Duffey and Bex, Bexs was reading a book about a mythical creature called a Coggen it was part dog, cat and a chicken. Bexs and Duffey wanted one very bad so she asked her mum if she could buy but it wasn't easy. Her mum asked siri and siri founded a video of a man breeding hydra creature meaning different animals put together. 

Bexs and Duffey named the Coggen and it's name is Milly, Milly as silly and bad she would poop everywhere and Bexs mum Lex was not alright with it. The next day Bexs couldn't handle it so she said," Milly i'm going to call Aaron to take you back." Milly got very angry and left. Bexs and Duffey went to go and see Bexs mum Bexs told her that Milly was to much to handle. All three of them were wondering why it was quiet then they asked each other  where is Milly they were running in and out of the house yelling and screaming," Milly where are you come back home," 

Lex told Bexs and Duffey if you two are going to find Milly you two are going to need food so Lex gave them one oat bar each. So set off to find Milly they went up the mountains they could trake her down fast because she's fast as a dog, quiet as a cat but her chicken part made a lot of noise like an elephant and she poops a lot. They found her but she hid behind the bushes they remembered that Coggens like oats and poreges next to a fire. They had oat bars Bexs brought her one out and Milly ran and caught it she was very fast and ran away. 

They both got back home and Bexs told her mum Milly to fast for them Bexs got one of the books from the shell and it was about the Coggen it said if you sing theses words and there are a lot of children it would come back to you. Then Bexs asked her mum if she could post a, a poster saying everyone meet up at the town center and we will sing a song for our whanau, but it was really for Milly to come back home. They all sang and Milly came back and they lived ever after.

Reading music notes

On Monday Room 11 learned how to read music notes. There are different music notes that people 

use in their music so it's easier for them to play on the instruments. 

This is an  image of some music notes, some music notes are single and some 

are with others thing that make it sound different. Some instruments have the same notes

and other have different like a piano. A piano has 7 notes C, D, E, F, G, A and B and

the black short keys that have the some notes but with a # like E# and it has 52 white keys.

Now let's talk about a guitar a guitar has strings but the same notes E, A, D, G, B and E 

but it has numbers like E4.
