Food technology-Milkshakes

Today we started food technology for the first time this year the very first thing that we made was chocolate,oreo milkshakes.The first step that we did was get a cup of milk and blended oreos,after we blinded the oreos we poured them into the milk.Then we put whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top of it.It was very fun doing all of this but to me I think that the best part was the part when we started to drinking them.

Te Tuhi Trip 2

Hi today we went to Te Tuhi to do some art based on our turangawaewae ( A place to stand or to call home).We drew four different things our Home,Family, Stories and culture.For home I drew a Marae because our ancestors used them for meetings or funerals,For family I did two different things and they were the diamond pattern and a kuru wai pattern.I used these two because the kuru wai represents my maori side and the diamond in the pacific represent the generations in your family.For my story I choose maui and the sun because I heard it a lot growing up and it has grown on me from a little age.And for culture I used love hearts and because I love the pacific and where I am from (New Zealand and the Cook Islands) and blobs that look like hills because to me they are some of the island's hidden under water all over the world.

Art and Turanagawaewae

We were learning about artist and turangawaewae (a place we stand)There were differant artist that were maori and some where mixed with maori.My favorite maori artist was Lisa Reihana because she does giant landscapes and they show our ancestors and maybe shows some stories of their life and how they lived.

Turanagawaewae

Hi today we were learning about turangawaewae (A place to stand) and in other words a place you feel you fit in.People have places where they feel that they fit in and that they like to go or like to be there are different places like landmarks that you like.For me that place is whangarei because I get to be with family and I get to feel what its like to be in a smaller town and a smaller place.I also like it there because my family owns a farm and I get to help them on it.
