For the past 2 weeks we had to research a country and had to pick one of the dishes they are well known for. Kaycee and I had France to research about and we chose the dish, 'Crepes'. Crepes is a well known recipe that most people around the world can make; it is very easy and doesn't take that long. On Wednesday 25 we had our practical assessment where Kaycee had left me to help out other groups because my teacher believed I could do it by myself. We chose this recipe because it seemed very easy and a lot of people know what crepes they have either seen or eaten crepes. In my opinion I reckon our presentation was outstanding. I like how it was very colourful and he had different fresh fruit. 

The thing that most helped us was our teacher supplied us with a small non-stick pan.... It was awesome! Our Recipe was called "CREPES WITH FRESH FRUIT. I would probably make it more sweeter cause it was a bit plain and I have also learnt how to turn on the stove top. 

Our ingredients we used were

- 1/2 cup flour

- 1 large egg

-1/2 tbsp sugar

-1/4 tsp salt

1 cup of whole milk

-1/2 tbsp Butter

- Fresh Fruit for serving

-Icing sugar, for serving

- SERVES: 2

Our method was very easy and simple;

1. In a mixing bowl whisk the flour,sugar and salt until combined. Then create a well with flour and add the egg.

2. Gradually pour in milk, whisking to combine after each addition. Let batter stand at room temperature until slightly bubbly on top, 10 - 15 minutes

3. In a small frying an over a medium heat,melt butter. About 1/8 cupt at a time,drop batter evenly onto pan,swirling it to evenly coat.

4. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.

5. Serve crepes warm with fresh fruit and Icing sugar.

There were some changes around our servings. We had whipped cream with Greek yogurt and we had a scoop of vanilla ice-cream for serving to the teachers.Our time schedule was pretty accurate but we went 2 -3 minutes over the bell.

10 minutes to Prepare 

10 minutes for it to rest batter

- Prepare Fresh Fruit

10 minutes to cook

10 minutes to clean

Once we finished cooking we made an extra one for the teachers that were in the learning street (The Science Teachers) so we could get there feedback. 

We had about 5 teachers test our dish although we only had 3 teachers feedback. 

TEACHERS FEEDBACK:

It was brilliant they really liked our different varieties of fruit and how it was the right amount of fruit to balance the sweet and sour. They really like how we had whipped cream on top of fresh yogurt. "It was delicious"

Science

 In science we have been learning about Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis. Here is my research topic. 

Ruaumoko is the baby god. He is the god of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and other disasteriest things. The story behind this myth is… Papatuanuku (earth-mother) and Ranginui (sky-father) had six male children.. Tanemahuta is the child that pushed papa back into the sky. The children begged their mother and father for a little more room so they could play but they were too in love to even listen. The distance between father and mother became so wide for the first time all the children were standing and stretching their arms above their head however that wasn't enough so tane pushed his father further up and at last the children could see each other and feel warmth upon their face. After tane gave one more push they could finally see the beauty of their mother. When their father started crying the children were scared that they would drown in his tears, as the mother rolled over with her face hidden from her love she curled up into a ball, she created the sea and the lakes from the tears of sky-father. Ruaumoko was so angry that he didn't like his mother being sad because obviously she got pulled away from her love. This god, Ruaumoko relates to our topic because he’s the god of Earthquakes, Tsunami’s  and the volcano eruptions. He’s the god of all disaster’s. 

English

Today in English we read 5 non-fiction books. Each book we had 2 minutes to read after the buzzer went off we had 30s to write down 1 fact. We were allowed to read the same book twice just as long as there a different facts Heres the facts:
1  On 10 December 2016, Joseph fought for the heavy weight championship and won
2. N one knows who invited the dunk, Bob kurland first made it popular in the 1940s
3. Men and women can compete in the mixed doubles diving
4. A rugby ball is oval shaped and it can be kicked,carried, or passed from player to player
5. Josephs mum didn't like watching Joseph box

What is acid rain?

Acid rain is harmful in many ways for the environment. Acid rain can dissolve stuff like houses, buildings etc. Why does acid rain matter? It matters because it will do a lot of damage to this environment. If acid rain gets into the ocean many fish and sea creatures will die also lakes, streams.... How does acid rain form? Acid rain is caused by chemical reactions that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. 

Acid Rain Experiment:

Method:

1. Set up the Petri dish 

* Add a few drops of water to these

2. Add 1 spatula of sodium sulfide to weigh boat

* Take Starting Photo

3. Add 5 drops of sulfuric acid and quickly put lid on

4. Watch and take photos

In these photos it shows the petri dish holding 7 different ingredients for this experiment. The Blue Litmus paper went from blue to red because there acid in the air.. in the petri dish. The Universal indicator was originally green but its now red. I'm pretty sure that Bromothymol Blue is meant to change to yellow but it stay blue :D The apple is acidic and the apple skin will slowly loose its color also the leaf should loose its color too. :O The Powder (Calcium Carbonate) Will slowly die off :O. The air in the petri dish becomes acidic because the Sodium Sulfide and Sulfuric acid will start producing more acid in the air.
