Mitchell - Writing Explanation 2 (How to be organised for school each day)

Hey bloggers! Here is another writing explanation I have written for you! I am going to tell you how to get organised for school each day before school starts.

The night before the school day you should already have got your uniform ready! Your School Shirt, School Shorts, School Jacket, School PE Top, and a new pair of socks to wear for the day. Maybe lay it out on the door of your bedroom. Then with your chromebook if it's really low with battery then you should charge it. Just plug your Chromebook charger into an outlet in your room!

Lunch! I recommend chucking out your lunchbox on the table or bench and start packing your lunch, so it's ready to pop in your bag after you've gotten ready! Make your own sandwich to help mum out. Remember healthy things. Pack some fruit, snacks or even a small box of juice! Now your lunch is ready.

In the morning make your bed. Get your uniform that is ready. If you're going to shower do it for at least 3 - 4 minutes! Pop in your lunchbox, quickly have breakfast. Do your hair, brush your teeth and clean your face and jump out the door. ( Actually jump out the door if you don't want to be in Re-Think) Also re-think is a place you go to @ lunchtime and clean up!

* Quick tips - Wake up @ 7:30 or earlier! Me and my sisters wake up @ 6:00 and get to school @ 7:00. Pretty Early!

Mitchell - Writing Explanation (How To Make A Toasted Sandwich)

Hey bloggers! It's me Mitchell again blogging back to you! Today I am going to tell you - How to make the best cheese and onion toasted sandwich! Now, me and my sisters always make toasted sandwiches frequently because we use and own a Toasted Sandwich Maker!

Here are the ingredients we use! :

1 loaf of fresh bread!
10 slices of Mozzarella Cheese 
A handful of shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag of appetising brown onions

1 container of fresh Sunrise Butter

We walk down to the local dairy and buy one loaf of fresh dairy bread, along with some smooth fresh sunrise butter, and a bag of appetising onions. It costs around $6.00! When we get home we get out the sandwich maker! We flick off the little blue thing on the bag of the loaf - which has the expiry date, and chuck the bread on a plate!
We then get out the butter knife from the drawers, open the lid of the butter container and slide the butter knife through the thick butter. (a lot of butter).  Anyways we lay the slices of bread inside the sandwich maker and rip open the bag of onions. We get another plate out, a sharp knife and slice the onion into small cubes. Sometimes my mum helps us too!

We spread it along the slices of buttered bread and put a swirl of aioli sauce on the top to make it even tasty! Finally we add a few slices of sliced cheese from the supermarket! Then we close down the lid of the machine and click the button to start. It starts to sizzle and cook on the grill and you can smell the delicious aroma of the sandwiches. After about 3 minutes it should be ready!

Put all sandwiches on a small - sized plate and then it's ready to eat delicious and warm! "Munch" ! goes my mouth as it digs into the sandwich! I hope you get to make a toasted sandwich!

An fun week!

Hey bloggers! The last 2 days the Yr 7's have been having fun and doing exciting activities. We also got put into groups. Ther is Churries, Munchies, and Fobalicious. I am in Munchies. We did things such as building towers with spaghetti sticks and marshmallows, stacking cups, doing art, sticking on quotes making truffles and heaps more.

Here is a picture of the truffles in the making:

We also made truffles which was very fun. We made it with crumbled up biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, brown sugar and more.

Also with the spaghetti sticks we built marshmallow towers which we failed at but we still had fun. Also in art class with Mr Slade and Miss Farrel we made quotes with some bits of paper.

Here is a picture of me stacking cups: ------------------------------------------^

There is also a draw for people to win fidget spinners. I am in that draw too.

Mitchell's Tech Dish - Blueberry Muffins

Hey bloggers! Today was the last tech dish I made. I hope you guys liked all my other dishes I made. On the last day of cooking we mad blueberry muffins.

Here is how we made it: First of all I put 200 grams of icing sugar in a bowl. Next I put 200 grams of Self raising flour into a medium bowl. Then my buddy chopped up some pieces of butter. Then we put the butter into the bowl with the icing sugar and mixed it up with a electric mixer.

Then after it was mixed we put the self raising flour with the icing sugar and butter mixture and started to mix. Then I ran to go get the muffin liners and put them inside the muffin holders.

We put the mixture in gently with a spatula. Then I added blueberries into the muffin liners filled with the muffin mixture. Then we gave it to Miss Heka to put in the oven to bake.

While we were waiting we were cleaning up and washing the dishes. After waiting it was finally ready to eat. We put the muffins in a brown paper bag and packed it away.

Thank you to Miss Heka who helped and taught us how to bake and cook yummy and delicious things. She is the best baker/cooker I know. She should own a restaurant or a bakery. Hopefully I get to be in Food tech again next year.

Here is a photo of the muffins I made : 

Thank you Miss Heka!

Mitchell's Tech dish - Fruit Tart

Hello bloggers! Today at tech I made a Fruit tart with my friend Noah. The last week we came we had to make the pastry which included butter and flour and flattening it out onto a tin foil tray. Then Mrs Heka put it somewhere to keep it cool for next week.

When we came back the week after which was today we got to decorate it and make it delicious. First we got 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of custard powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar to make our custard. 

We put it in the pot we were going to cook with and started to stir. Then we got the fruits which included peaches, strawberries, grapes, kiwifruit and more. We then added it to our pastry which we already put in with our custard.

Yay! We were finished. Now all I go to do is take a picture of our wonderful dish:

It looked so yummy I just wanted to eat it right away but we couldn't because we had to go on the bus back to school plus it was raining. Then when we arrived at school it was lunch time and I finally got to eat it! Delicious. It was so yummy. You should try making it one day it is so delicious.

Making Blanket Forts!

Hey blog viewers! Guess what? Today me and my sisters decided to make some blanket forts! It was really fun making the blanket fort. Here is some instructions on how we made our very own blanket fort!

Blanket fort

First we grabbed 4 chairs from our kitchen and placed them in the living room. Then we got a hold of some light blankets from our bedrooms and put them over and around the chairs. Also we had some hanging off some of our couches.

After we did that it wasn't finished yet. We added some light blankets to go on the floor and also got some cushions and stuffed animals. We also bought some snacks and were eating them if we were hungry. Then we added some books and some devices!

Me and my sisters each have a room in between the 4 chairs. Here are some pictures of our fort: 

I hope you like our blanket fort we made!

Mitchell - Holiday Blogging #3 (Story time)

Hey blog viewers! Sorry I have not been posting up any blog posts for a while! Here is a story I made up about the adventure's of 3 friends. It was created last year by me. Enjoy! 

In the Melanesian Islands of Vanuatu lived 3 bestest friends Kiki,Kano and Kavaki. They were all of Vanuatuan descent except Kiki she was half Chinese. In the village they live in there is a lost key that opens the King’s house. It has been locked for decades. In the past many villagers have set sail to look for the lost key but it is nowhere to be found. Saturday morning Kiki woke up. Her feet met the cold floorboards as she stepped out of her bed. Her dad has been working at the Trading store for several years. Kiki walked past the counter and in the corner of her eyes was her favourite food…..Coconut donuts. Her hands gripped onto the donuts and her mouth opened wide and ate the donuts. “Mmmmmmm” she said making her mouth chew the donut into pieces. “Morning dad” Kiki mumbled with the donut in her mouth. Kiki’s dad was preparing the shop for the day. “Good morning honey” he whispered. Kiki’s dad opened the blinds,put out the open sign and went walked to the counter to be cashier for the day. Kiki went to go look for Kano and Kavaki.

“Boooooooo” Kavaki yelled behind her back. “Ahhhhhh” she ran off with fear. “I’m going to get you” Kiki shrieked. She pushed Kavaki down the mountain and into the shallow waters of the beach. “Hahahahahaha” she laughed with happiness. “What you guys up to” Kano said. “We are just mucking around” Kiki laughed. “OUCHHH”  Kiki screamt. A light was beaming in her eyes.

“What happened Kiki ?” he wondered. He saw where the light was coming from. Kiki moved away from the light as she was blinded by bright signals. “Are you ok” he wondered again. “Yeah I’m ok” she had said. “The light,the light” Kavaki screamt. He saw a key shape. He climbed up the mountain urgently. That afternoon Kiki said to herself “ That light is trying to tell us something” as she was watching TV with Kavaki and Kano. “Come on”

She wrapped some sandwiches in a travelling bag, she got her slippers and headed out the door with Kavaki and Kano. “Dad I’m going to go ummmm….. Watch a movie with Kavaki and Kano”

“Ok darling but be back before 10:00. “Yes I will” Kiki mumbled. She ran with Kavaki and Kano to the village’s Canoe hire. “1 canoe please” she screamt. Her face looked like she needed to go somewhere and she did. Kavaki and Kano lifted the canoe and she held the paddles.

“RUN” Kiki shrieked. They ran towards the beach,put the canoe on the water and sailed towards the light. “SPLASHH, SPLASHH, SPLASHH,” the sound of the waves swirling on the shallows. “There the light” Kano said pointing towards the Key shaped light. 20 minutes later they ended up in a lost island. They landed the canoe and the paddles onto the island’s shallow shore and walked into A Bush. “A bush??????” Kavaki said while wondering. The trees of the bush flew up and down on the branches of the windy air. “I’m scared” Kiki whispered to both of them. “Dont worry we are both here with you” the said in a deep voice.

“The light” Kiki jogged towards the light. “Guys come over here” she echoed. They examined the light and saw a key not just any ordinary key a Golden key. On it was carved “King Vava’u of Vanuatu” “The first king of Vanuatu” Kiki shrieked with excitement. “The KEY” she yelled. Her fingers held onto the key as the light began to fade into the darkness. “Let’s get out of this bush shall we?” Kavaki yelled. They ran towards the canoe with Kiki holding the key carefully.

The boys both gripped onto the paddles and paddled towards their island as fast as they could. 20 mins later they arrived ran the canoe back to the man who was letting them hire it and they all screamt. “We found the key to the King’s house!” Everyone ran out of the doors of their house and ran towards them. “Woohoo” the village cheered. They lifted them up “ The village chanted, Hero’s of the day.

Mitchell Tech Dish - Chicken Goujons and Potatoes

 Hey bloggers! Today we the (Year 7's) went to tech as usual on Thursday mornings. Tech is held at the nearby secondary school - Tamaki College.  You are put into groups for the rest of the term and have to choose a buddy to help cook with you. The groups include: Hard Materials, Arts, Graphics, and Cooking. I was very fortunate to be put into the Cooking group with Miss Heka. 

Well this was at the start of the term so let's fast forward to today! We walked inside the big cooking area washed our hands, dried hands then put aprons on! Then we went to our kitchens! 

First of all we got all of the kitchen supplies to make food! Then next we got the ingredients. Here's how we made it. 1 person had to go get out the cooking supplies while the other one had to get the ingredients (which was me). I got a plate with some chicken breasts, 4 tablespoons of flour in a large bowl, 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, and some mixed herbs and oil. Plus an egg.

We put all of the ingredients in separate bowls to dip the chicken into. I cut the chicken into thin strips and dipped them into the separate bowls. Then I started to cook them on the pan with some cooking oil.

Then when the potatoes where cut we put it on a cooking tray and put it in a huge oven. Then the chicken and potatoes were ready! We served it on our bowls and it was done!

They walked in and talked to Ronald McDonald the creator of McDonald's. "What happened ?" "McDonald's is closing down because the $6 combo gang from Burger king is shutting McDonald's down" he replied. "We have to stop them" the $5 combo gang said. They flew to all the burger king's in the world and said "Why are you doing this?" We want to be the most popular food fast restaurant in the world." all burger king's said.  

"This is not OK " Apple Lava Pie screamt, . She used her hot beaming lava in her pie to burn them. "Ok we will stop they said."

Then McDonald's was put all back together.

The End.
