Burger Competition

Burger Competition.

Sadly I was not here on the day these were made but these are the results that my teammates gave me.

Flavor ~ The flavor was the best and the spices and the mixed herbs that they put into the pattie made the pattie even better, they added cheese into the pattie too, which made the texture of the pattie better as well.

Texture ~ The texture was exactly the same as a normal burger but the Brioche Buns and Pattie made the whole thing mushy and softer, overall the burger tastes excellent.

Color ~ The Burger looked like it had a lot of colors but there was still not enough color for the judges, I can see red from the Tomatoes, but apparently the Tomatoes needed to be thicker, Green from the Lettuce, Brown from the Pattie and the buns, Yellow from the Cheese & Cream from the sauce!


Living Springs Camp 2021

Living Springs Camp 2021


So at Camp, we met up with the other Project K Group they were a mix between Shirley & Linwood, but we met up with them in the morning and spent the whole night with them to get to know them, all of us got along pretty well we talked, laughed, joked and smiled a lot while we were hanging out with the Community Group.


But after that, we went for a night walk but when we were walking we got a surprise that we were walking to a spot with you have a rope and you can either go blindfolded or go normally ( either way you couldn't see ) but I was sad because everyone got offered a blindfold and I didn't and I didn't get the chance to do it because I was too far up the hill to go back down and get one.


Groups go separated into 10 people in each, so 10 people head off then we wait for them to go and then another ten gets to go, but we didn't realize how fast we were going so we had to wait because the girl in front wanted to go fast, we waited for then to go and get to the top while we were just chilling in the bottom waiting until they called and said that they were at the top, so and soon as we went to walk the girl in front slipped but I was luckily enough to be standing right there to be able to save her, she wanted me to stay close to her just in case she fell again ( and there were more times she slipped ) but she was really thankful when we got up to the top.


So during the 3 Day Camp at Living Springs, we had some people come to the Camp Ground and teach us what to do if we ever got lost, stranded, or hurt in the middle of nowhere, There were 3 guys there teaching us all different things that they do for LandSAR.


I forgot all of their names but this is what they do for their job.

Guy #1 ~ Uses his dog to trace down people that are lost, have gone missing, or have stolen someone.

Guy #2 ~ Uses a no-legged stretcher and carries people that have badly injured themselves and can't walk or paralyzed people.

Guy #3 ~ Is a tracker he tracks people that have tried to hide and run from them after they have done really bad stuff and trying to get away, but he tracks the footprints that he had got given with fresh and old track marks.

Woodstock ~ Music Through Time

Woodstock

We have been learning about a new topic for Music Through Time , The topic that we have been set is going to be about Woodstock. This topic also involves the Vietnam War (1955 - 1975 - 20 years). Today, we looked at both Woodstock and the Vietnam War and what happened there. 

During the Vietnam War, The American's was heavily included in it. Many people in the world including New Zealand were against the war. There were songs written about the Vietnam War and how bad it actually was. Some songs were also written and performed at Woodstock (15 - 18 August 1969). 

I used the Song ~ War (what is it good for?) ~ Edwin Starr
The artist wanted to make a point that when young men go to war its bad and sad because they needed to think about how it was effect their parents,family & yourself because they don't seem to see how dangerous it is out there with everyone getting shot from everywhere.
And the artist is also trying to get this into people mind and saying why is everyone going to war and killing people just for some land, and also saying that the world shouldn't allow the war to be a thing and shouldn't be fighting and killing for pretty much no reason because it is useless and a waste of life and time.
Lyrics : 
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, why'all
War, huh, good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh good god, why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again
War, whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me
it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing say it again
whoa, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing listen to me 
it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows there's got to be a better way
Oh, war, huh good god why'all
What is it good for you tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it 
huh good god why'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it nothing

Making Salt

Aim 

~

To produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.


Equipment 

Copper oxide powder, dilute (0.5 mol L - 1) Sulfuric acid, 50 mL measuring cylinder, two 100 mL beakers, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula, evaporating basin, stirring rod.


Method

~

1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100 mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70*C. Turn off your Bunsen burner.

2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds.

3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.

7. Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 mL of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin.

9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10 Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (i.e a window-sill) and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form.

The Beatlemania

The Beatles
Hey Jude


Hey Jude is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as a single in August 1968, It had been written by Paul McCartney.

The Writers of the song got a lot of love for releasing this song they have gotten even more love over the years when they were creating music


The music is really different back cause the music didn't express itself as The Beatles and nowadays In the 1940's it was dull and boring but now their is meaning in the songs that we produce.



Here is a picture & video of when The Beatles came to NZ Wellington!

Write an Narrative Story!

Write an Narrative Story! / Your Own..

A burning inferno, a raging storm of heat claimed the house as it's territory, as it's home. The man stood their tears flowing down his face knowing he couldn't save them.

She sat their waiting for it to come, waiting for something bad to happen something to jump at her, but all she got was a text.
The weight of her phone surprised her even though she has had it for year. But what shocked her was the text itself saying"See you soon".

The Long grass and the mist made it feel like a horror film, it felt like the final scene. Where the Antagonist was about to go away forever,
But the two girls didn't think so, they thought it might've just began.When their light went out

She picked up the cold peas from the frozen vegetable section, she felt tremble away the ice between the peas, she also felt a sudden sense of something happening.
She felt someone staring, but it went away.
Then she felt a cold, leather glove on her shoulder.

Everybody was stressed or nervous, studying was boring for most people, you could say that when people say they want to become a teacher they always replied with
"Wait you want to go back to school?"
Some will say yeah but most will say no, except for this one.
It's in the house, in the kitchen downstairs, in the bedroom, in my closet or under my bed, I had dreams where it wore it's mask, it had a knife and a drawn smile written in it's blood.

Show Not Tell!

Show Not Tell!

So in this week we are learning about *SHOW NOT TELL* so we have to describe and put more detail into the sentence that is basic...

The Buildings Are Tall...

The buildings are disguising up in the clouds with all the other buildings sitting up high.

Sarah Was Really Upset...

She was face down lying on her bed with emotion flowing through her mind while thinking about what has happened in the past with her friends and family 

She Was So Happy To See Him...

She ran to him with excitement, joy & thrill whilst Adrenalin rushing through her body, like when you see a family member for the first time in a while.

The Lake Was Beautiful...

The reflection of the water made it feel like I was in a dream, falling slowly into the water.
