Turtle!!!

On the first week of term 4 we had to convince our teacher's (Mr. Mitchell) wife to swap our frogs with her turtles. So Mr. Mitchell told us to persuade her to swap it, so we wrote a letter to her trying to convince her to swap her turtle with our frogs.

We had to write the letter in letter format, we also had to tell her about what the frogs to and what is the advantage of having the frogs.

Here is my letter to her:

Dear, Mrs Mitchell  

I would like you to know that 7Mt would like to have your turtles, I am writing to you on behalf 7Mt.  We would like to trade your cool turtles with our wonderful frogs. It is because we want to experience a new kind of animal in our classroom.  We will thank good care of them and make sure they have what they need, we will also give them the love they need. We would really loved to how you turtles here with us.  

Our frogs can be a great help to your class as they will learn a lot of things our the frog. Their names are Yoda and Belle, Yoda is a boy and Belle is a girl.  Your students will learn the life cycle of the frogs and when your class is quiet enough you will hear the frogs croaking. It will help you because the students can be quiet while focusing on their work. It sounds weird but I know that your students will love them, they are mostly active in the summer.

I hope you and your class can love them just as we do, please consider letting us have your cool turtles.

Yours Sincerely

Lyan, From 7MT

 
When she checked our letters she also had to check it in with her students.  I am also sure that she agreed to swap it with ours. Let's say her student like when we said the frogs make fart sounds.
So we got the turtle at Tuesday, she was a girl and her name was Yurtle and she is an amazing turtle.

This is what she looked like:
 

Self Reflection: I think we deserved the turtle's because we worked hard to persuade her to saw us the the turtle and next time we should work harder than before. 

London's Tower and The Crown Jewels

At the last week of term our reading teacher got us to do a presentation about the Crown Jewels and the Tower of London.  I hope you learn something from my presentation and have a great day. 

Koru Games!!!!!

On the 2nd to last week of term 3 we went to the Koru Games, we didn't all go because we had to get pick. Koru Games is like a sports tournament we participated in 3 which is Netball, Rugby and Football. I participated in netball, we had 1 team in netball,1 team in rugby and 2 teams in football a girls and a boys team.

We had a lot of fun, we did lose some of our games but we won our last 2 game which we were happy about.  My favourite thing about going to Koru Games was actually playing against other people. Here are some photos:

This was my netball team.

 

We came in 29th place in the tournament out of 32 teams, we had fun and enjoyed it. 

Market Day!!!!

in the 26th of September 2018 we had our Market Day! It was a fun and exquisite day we learnt many things and achieved many things.  If you had seen my last blog post and you live in Christchurch, New Zealand I hope you had came to our market day.

A Little Summary on what happened on the day:
When school started we got started and we set up our product and our table. My groups was gonna cook our product which is Banana Cue. Banana Cue is a famous Filipino street food, it is plantain fried banana covered with brown sugar. Here is the procedure on how to make the banana cue.

Things you need:
Frozen Plantain Banana 8 per pack
Canola or Vegetable Oil
Brown Sugar
Pan   - (I suggest having a pot like this rather than a pan. But having a pan like that is also goof so you can get the bananas easily.)
Tongs
Apron,(or something to protect your hands)

Step 1: Put your pan on the stove heat it and pour the oil in the pan it must be at least 1 inch/ 2.54 cm high. So that the banana can get fried and the sugar would stick to it.

Step 2: Put the bananas in your pan/pot and cook it for 2 minutes or when the banana is golden brown. Then add brown sugar to the pan and moved the banana around so the sugar can stick to the banana. Make sure to always move the banana or turn round so the banana will not burn.

Step 3:After the banana is covered or half covered with sugar you can take it out. Make sure to be careful because the banana is hot and the sugar on the banana is sticky.  After that it will look like this.


You can also cut your banana which my group did.

Continuing on, on what happened:
So we started cooking and after we cooked about 20 we started packaging.  Our packaging was a cute little boat and inside was a banana leaf. We fitted 4 pieces in the boat and we put a little flag at the top with our country's flag and our logo with our company's name.  After finishing all the boats we had a little more bananas so we made some paper boats and put in some banana leaves. Our banana cue costs $1.00 for 4 and $2.00 for 6 pieces.

We sold our pretty fast so here is some pictures:
