Envirocentre

 Yesterday our house groups went to the envirocentre. We went because the topic our school was working on for this year was food and the envirocentre has a whole garden full of food. My favourite food there was the chilli. Even though I didn't eat the chilli, I still LOVE chilli's. Kirsty was talking about how to get seeds out of each different plant. With Katy we planted some plants, and with Steph we sorted out some seeds into a bucket. It was REALLY fun, we even got to take the plants we planted back to school!

Yum Yum Hobo Stoves/(Best pancakes in the whole universe)

 On Wednesday the whole school went to the hall and were told to sit in our house colours. Then Mrs Hall told us that we were making homemade Hobo Stoves, I was getting really excited because she also that that we were going to be making pancakes on the Hobo Stoves as well. When we started making them I was a bit nervous because the first step looked a bit tricky because we had to cut out strips of cardboard and roll them up to put them into a small little tin cup. Then we put the wax and the wick in the small little tin. Then once the wax had dried up we put the tin into a karicare sized big tin. Then Mrs Allan (incharge of Yellow house) went into the staff room to go make the pancake mixture. Then we put a roll of tinfoil over the top of the big tin and lit the candle. Then we put the pancake mixture on the roll of tinfoil on the top of the big tin. I think I was the best pancake flipper and I also think that Kane was the best at holding down the tinfoil. The pancake were so good that they even tasted better then my Mums, even though my Mum hardly makes pancakes they yummy.

Yum Yum Cedenco...

 

Today all of the seniors went to the company Cedenco, my Mums friend is the Manager of Cedenco (which is Carla, she's the person who showed around some of the factory). We were there to learn about Kai/Foods because our focus for this year at school is on food. But what really stood out was the blower machine, the whole of point of the blower machine was because it blows all the hair off you so that no hair gets in the food, the Japanese are REALLY fussy eater's (just like myself). I wonder if some of the foods come from different places in New Zealand.
