Mitchell's Mean, Median, Mode and Range!

Talofa Bloggers

Today our class is focusing on our Key Competencies. Our aim was to stay on task and see how much progress we make for maths in one maths block. This should set the standard for how much work we complete each time we have numeracy.

Our two learning intentions were:

WALT: 1. Show how much progress we can make in one maths session

2. Articulate what we are learning about.

Here is my maths work I completed today:

In this presentation we are learning about the math subjects Mean,Median,Mode and Range. Enjoy!

Mitchell's Extension Update - 2017

Hey bloggers! Recently in extension we have been learning about NASA and Space travel. Last term we also had a trip to the Hoyts Cinemas in Sylvia Park to watch the movie release "Hidden Figures". You can check the video for that you can find right over - here: https://vimeo.com/209294242. Anyways we have been making space games and also making characters for our games too.

I have personally been learning about the text 5 changes in Space travel and how the first man in space was Russian astronaut: Yuri Gagarin. Here is the link to the text I am reading: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/04/130412-space-travel-technologies-yuri-gagarin/. 

His mission required something that could propel his spacecraft fast enough to sustain a speed of 17,000 miles per hour.

This now made it possible to send men/astronauts to the moon. Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin, was the first man in space completed a circuit around the earth in the spaceship Vostok on April the 21st 1961.

Before in the old days spacemen were uncomfortable, but nowadays they have their own choice of - exercise bikes, barbeque beef brisket — even a choice of toilet papers.

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.
