Baking Cupcakes

Hi! I just wanna share something I did during the weekends. My little sister and I decided to bake cupcakes! She made the chocolate flavor one and I made the Vanilla one. We had fun making them but there are some struggles like getting the correct amount of ingredients. It was pretty easy-ish to make and here are some photos of our cupcake.

As you can see, some of the cupcakes have designs on them and you can really tell If It's Vanilla or Chocolate, that's because we mixed the leftovers that cant fit on the cupcake tray.

That's it bye.

Health/Haoura - Hurumanu 8 - || Ed Sheeran Spiritual Wellbeing ||

Hi, My name is Elisha, Today in Hurumanu 8 - (Health/Hauora) we are learning about Spiritual or Taha Wairua in Maori. Taha Wairua is one of the 4 sides of Hauora. It's about finding who you are, your beliefs, direction or your purpose in life. We watched a video of Ed Sheeran making a speech about spiritually related things after winning an award.

Here's the video:

Ed Sheeran's key values and beliefs in this video are...

Beliving that you don't have to change yourself for other people's acceptance. Instead, embrace yourself for who you are. If your weird, keep being weird. Just be who you are and you don't need to feel ashamed of it. Ed's Taha Wairua is growing up pretty well because he has this kind of attitude to accept his own flaws and for who he is.

Bye!~ BeYOUtiful!

3. When you leave the ground you must spin around and use your knee to turn.

Solubility Experiment - Hur. 3 || Chemistry, Science ||

Aim: To experiment with which one dissolves the more in water, baking soda or salt.

Hypothesis: I think Baking Soda will dissolve more.

Equipment:
-Salt
-Baking soda
-1x 250 ml beaker
-100 ml measuring cylinder
-Stirring rod
-1x teaspoon
-1x ruler
-tap water
Water - 80 ml


Method:
1. Fill the beaker with 100 ml tap water
2. Add a teaspoon of baking soda and use a ruler to slide down the extra baking soda at the top.
3. Stir the solution until all the baking soda dissolves.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until no more baking soda will dissolve into the solution.
5. Record how many teaspoons of baking soda were added.
6. Repeat the experiment with salt this time.

Results:

Solute:	Number of Spatula until it doesn’t dissolve:
Baking Soda	14
Salt	22

The results were... We put 14 scoops of Spatula in Baking Soda until it stops dissolving. Salt, on the other hand, Salt got to 22 scoops of Spatula until It doesn't dissolve anymore.

In conclusion, Salt Won! Yay...It turns out that Salt can dissolve more than the Baking Soda can.

My Hypothesis was wrong...I thought Baking Soda would dissolve more than salt at first because I thought it would do a chemical reaction of some sort like fizz but I was wrong. It only works on Vinegar and not water. Maybe next time we will put Baking soda in hot water to get better results.

Savoury Bread Cases - Home Economics

Hi, Happy Valentine's everyone!
I'm back again blogging about Home Economics (Cooking) session today on Friday.
We cooked savory bread cases.

The Ingredients are:
Grated Cheese, Beans, Ham, White Bread or Brown Bread, can spaghetti, butter, and muffin tray.

Equipment:
Bread knife, Sharp knife, cutting board, and a teaspoon and an oven.

Methods:
1) Get your piece of bread and cut the crust off by using a bread knife.
2) Put some butter on one of the sides of the bread.
3) Put your bread upside down inside the muffin tray. Make sure the butter side will touch the muffin tray so that it won't get stuck there later on taking off.
4) After that, Bake your bread for 5 mins. Make sure to put it in Fan Bake and 200.
5) While it's baking prepare your feelings that your goanna put inside. You can put whatever you like as long as It will fit inside the bread.
6) Take out your bread from the oven make sure to use baking gloves so you don't burn yourself.
7) Place the bread onto the table, make sure to put something under it so the table won't burn itself.
8)Fill your bread with the kinds of stuff you want inside. I recommend putting those following stuff above and put grated cheese over everything else.
9) Bake it again for a bit longer this time.
10) Enjoy your food.

Home Economics - Tuesday

Hi, today I'm blogging about this week's Home Economics (cooking) subject and what we did. First of all, we had 2 sessions, 1 on Tuesday and 1 on Friday.

On Tuesday, we didn't do any cooking related, we instead discuss the rules/expectations in this subject and familiarise the new food tech room.

We did a DLO about Personal Hygiene VS Personal Safety:

Familiarising the room: 

Equipment - where is it?

= 1st drawer, Scissors, Peeling, Stirring spoons
= 2nd drawer - Types of tease spoons, Tongs
= 3rd drawer - rolling pins
= 4th drawer - Glass bowls
=Under the sink - 1st drawer Washing dishes stuff || 2nd drawer - saucepans
=Under the microwave - large pans
=Under the Oven - Muffin Trays

My first impression of the room was... I thought of it was It was a bit small than the room we used to have for Food Tech but It was very simple though. Some things have moved somewhere because of the room's layout. The different colour cutting boards are now in the front stool-like in the hotel with the wheels on.

Here are some photos I took in the Food Technology Room:

Bye! I'm gonna update on what we cooked.

The Best Day Of My Summer Holiday - ESOL

Konnichiwa!~

 I'm blogging again about my summer holidays. I know I've already done this yesterday but this one is for ESOL subject so I'm going to make another version of my summer holidays. In my 1st blog about my holidays, I pretty much talk about my trip to Queenstown so now I'm just gonna talk on some other stuff I did during holidays.

Link to the first one. from Wananga Subject.

In my summer holidays, I didn't do much. I spend my holidays mostly at home relaxing. I don't like going outside that much so I pretty much stayed at home being cozy. We went to some places though like Queenstown. We had a long journey to Queenstown about 5 hrs to get there. It was pretty exhausting, to be honest, and to be MORE HONEST I didn't like long drives like those. Especially If you've been there already, so there's really nothing to be excited about.

Anyways, Except for going to Queenstown... I'm gonna share how I spend my New Year.

First of all, I spend my New Year at my house. My parents enthusiastically cook a lot of delicious dishes to start off the New Year with a full tummy. I can't really remember each of the dishes that we had so here is some. My caring mother made a dessert in the Philippines called "Buko Salad". It's a type of salad as you can tell by the name.

It's a salad contained Green coloured Jelly, thin slices of Buko (coconut), Macarons, creamy milk and another sort of food that I can't remember the name. If you wanna know how to make it yourself, here's the link to the recipe. LINK. I guarantee you that you will surely love it.

Sayounara~!

My Summer Holiday

My summer holiday recount

     I spend my holidays mostly staying at home relaxing watching Anime. During Christmas, my family and I had a long drive to Queenstown. It was a pretty exhausting trip for me but we arrived at Queenstown at ease.

     We stayed there for 3 days. During those 3 days, we tried a variety of things in Queenstown from tasty foods to thrilling rides. My highlight was probably trying different sort of ice cream flavours of Patagonia ice cream shop. It was おいしい (delicious).

      than that, we also visited the Gondola in Queenstown. It was terrifying up high and at the same time, It's a pleasing scenery above. Overall, my holidays were okay. That's all. Sayounara~!
