My Character Strengths

What are your top 5 strength?

1. Gratitude

2. Honesty

3. Kindness

4. Humour

5. Teamwork

Did you expect these? why/why not?

1. Gratitdue- I expect this because I'm always thankful whatever I get and I always show apprectiation. 

2. Honesty- I would and would not expect this to be honest because it depends what it is about. I'm honest to some stuff but not everything that's why I would and would not expect it.

3. Kindness- I expect this because I have always had kindness in me, when my friends or family or whoever is at there lowest i'll help them any kind of way I can and i'll never leave their side. 

4. Humour- In my own option I would not expect this because when it cames to my humour I get anxiety but I can make people laugh but i'm not good at seeing the funny side of me. My option I don't think I have that side of me!

5. Teamwork - My own option I feel like this could be my strength because I like working with others but only who I want to work with, if anyone needs help I'll help them any way I can but somewhere on the line I don't really have team player and believing people. I know somewhere inside of me I have that team player and believing. 

Why are these important to have?

Gratitdue- Gratitdue is important because it helps people believe and feel positive about themsevles. It makes them happy because they have apprectiaion inside of them!

Honesty -  Honesty is so important to have because being honest can help people believe you more and people see you as someone they can count on. 

3. Kindness - Kindness is one of the most important ones because having that kindness inside of you is always the key to help others to like you and know that they can count on you on anything. 

4. Humour - Humour is important to have inside of you because you always need a little giggle inside of you because if you don't everyone will just think your a sad soul. Having humour is good, it shows that you are not ashamed of anything.

5. Teamwork - Teamwork is important to have because you get to be that team player and you can work towards a goal with others. You have that understanding inside of you to help others to work towards what they are struggling or working from.

Types of Governments

We had to get into groups and I am with Chloe, Anneleise, Shontae and Kyla, and then had four tasks to complete.

Thoughts about the new Kahui!

Today I am doing a blog post about our new kahui space. What are my thoughts? What do I like about it? Well the kahui are actaully really helpful to be honest and like we don't need to walk out of the kahui we can just walk to our other class in the same kahui and I think that's really helpful when like it's cold outside or rain or you just can't be bothered going outside! What my thoughts are that I get bad anxiety when i'm around lots of people and plus when there is to much noise and I don't get my work done I get really bad anxiety and my head gets really sore! What I like about it is that it so clean and not dirty and like I can see my friends in there other class and even if they are a different year of me but hopefully it will look better when it's finisheds!

Separating a Mixture using Evaporation- sciences

Separating a Mixture using Evaporation:

Aim: why you are doing the experiment

Hypothesis: what you think will happen, and why….

Equipment: Copper sulfate solution, 250mL Beaker, heat proof mat, evaporating basin, element.

Method: 

1. Set up element
2. Add 100mL of hot water to the beaker and place on the element.
3. Add copper sulfate to the evaporating basin until it is quarter full.
4. Carefully, place the the evaporating basin on top of the beaker. 
5. Turn on the element to 8
6. Heat the solution until most of the solvent has been evaporated and crystals of solute are forming. 
7. Turn off the element- careful not to touch as will be hot for a long time.

Oberservations: In the experiment I saw the blue luqid going to into the water and you could see the water boiling into bubbles.

Health- Taha Whanau- (Fake vs Real Friends)

On Tuesday for health we learning about taha whanau and we were focusing on what is a fake friends vs real friends! Here is my explaintion about Fake friends and Real friends and at the bottom I wrote something both about fake friends and real friends, it's what I think about it.

Fake Vs Real Friends

Real Friends:

They‘ve empathetic 

They respect you and themselves

They enjoy the time of discussion

They call you simply because they miss you 

They help you with anything!

Has your back all the way!

Fake Friends: 

They’ve hurtful

They lose their temper easily 

They insist on winning over

They only find you when they need your help

Talk behind your back

Look at you weird

Use you for money 

Fake friends

In my life I have so many fake friends and Ik who are fake and not! If I could I would list some many people! Well when I can tell who is fake or not, is that when they look at you weird or like they talk behind your back and they don’t tell and then you find out from another person or maybe one of your friends are actually not you friends and actually making you embarrassed to look cool! They use you for money, and they get jealous!! That’s what a fake is! You don’t want those people in your life because they will make your life worse and harder!   

Real Friends

A real friend is that always has your back no matter what happens! They never embarrass you in front of anyone, they make you happy/ makes your life happier! Talk about everything with you and always tell you the truth about everything and don't lie! Compliment your hair, shoes everything you could think of! They get along with your siblings and your parents! Helps you with everythings/ always has your back when you are upset! That’s what kind of friend everyones what’s in their lifes!

Pizza scrolls- Food techonology,

Last week on friday we made something new we made some pizza scrolls. This is my first time making them and they were actually really good!! I have some steps about how to make the pizza scrolls, hopefully you could learn something on it.

Step 1:Preheat oven to 210°C. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour into a bowl and then Add the milk. Use a round-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture begins to hold together.

Step 2: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out the dough into a 30 x 40cm rectangle.

Step 3: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm border around the edge. Sprinkle with the cheddar, ham and whatever you want on it. Starting from a long side, roll up firmly to form a log. 

Step 4:Cut crossways into 12 equal portions, about 3cm thick. Place scrolls on the prepared tray. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 5: then when it's cool it's ready to eat!!
