On Tuesday we made Vegetarian Nachos. Unfortunately mine slid off the plate and onto the floor so I didn't get to try any. This was the last time we'll be cooking for the rest of the term. I couldn't find the recipe so I just googled one similar.
Here's the recipe:
Recently we have been learning about Electricity.
The Parts My Circuit has.
It has a Battery, Wires and a Light Bulb.
What each part does.
The Battery gives the energy, The Wires pass it around, and the Light Bulb lights up because of the energy coming from the Battery.
What is Voltage?
Voltage is the pressure from a circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling the circuit to work.
What is a current?
A flow of Electricity which results from the ordered direction of Electrically charged Particles.

Yesterday we finished reading The Cay. I found it interesting as I've read stuff similar to it before. One thing I liked most about it was Phillip's braveness. He never gave up even after Timothy died. He would still provide Fish, Langosta and other stuff. He also managed to dive down completely to catch Langosta.
I would recommend this book for people aged 12 and up because it has some stuff in it that young kids may not understand.
Overall The Cay is an amazing book and I really enjoyed doing the tasks.

Arts Kete
In my Arts Kete we have been learning about Stencils and different ways to paint them. I’ve done a few small anchors. It's been really fun and interesting.
Self Reflection
On Tuesday in Math, I wasn't really into it but I've realized my mistakes. Mondays Math was good, We had Miss Hinsen* and our class went well.
Nexts Weeks Goals
A goal for next week is to have a fresh mindset and to finish my work a bit more quicker.
Last week in Home Economics we made a open steak sandwich. I didn't like it because I wasn't feeling to well.
Here's the ingredients:
Beef Schnitzel- trimmed, about 1 cm thickness (can be shredded & marinated before cooking)
Oil (for cooking meat)
4 Bread rolls or 1 ciabatta loaf, cut into 4 pieces
Sauces - own choice
Lettuce, Spinach
Tomatoes, sliced
Red Onion rings
Cheese slices
Avocado
1. Quickly pan fry the meat over a medium high heat until just cooked, turning once during cooking. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve as a piece or shredded
2. Cut rolls or ciabatta loaf pieces in half. These can be warmed or toasted if desired.
Spread the tops and the bottoms of the bread with mayonnaise and /or sauces chosen
3. Top half the bread with lettuce etc, tomato slices, steak and any other ingredients
4. Cover with the remaining bread pieces
5. Serve
This is my book cover for last weeks work in English, I don't really like the way it turned out, but I don't mind it. I chose the waves because if the Hurricane that took place. The boat symbolizes the boat called the Hato that sunk. Then there is the cay in the background. The reason why its sunny is because of when the Hurricane was half done there was a calm eye.
This week is Tongan Language Week. We had to do some work for it. It's not quite finished but I will do it in my own time. :))
For Home Economics I’ve decided to make something simple, sugar cookies. Sugar cookies are very easy to make and don't have a lot of confusing steps or ingredients. The ingredients include:
2 ¾ cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of softened butter
1 egg
1 ½ cups of white sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, it won’t change the taste)
The steps are very simple and straightforward.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla, (if used)
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough is formed. Roll rounded balls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets (or baking paper)
Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack
Serve and enjoy :)
I forgot to take pictures in between.
