  • 15g of sultanas

Method
  1. Cut up a desired amount of apples
  2. Cut an equal amount of pastry
  3. Place apples in pastry
  4. Dust with brown sugar
  5. Add sultanas
  6. Fold from corner to corner making a triangle
  7. Use a fork and make lines starting from the point
  8. Poke holes in the top
  9. Pour a teaspoon of milk over the top
  10. Dust with brown sugar
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes
  12. Enjoy

I learnt that you need to measure precisely because baking uses a lot of chemical reactions so if you are of by a couple of milligrams it won’t work properly.

On tuesday the 9th we went to the AUT millennium center where we were provided with a healthy lunch from nestle. With this information we made a tree diagram showing all the possible outcomes.
In total there were 24 options with the 2 different wraps (spinach and wholemeal) the 3 different meats (tuna, chicken and ham) and the 4 different salads(lettuce, tomato, cucumber and capsicum).

Water Safety and Kyaing

On Tuesday the 9th we went to the AUT Millennium Center. One of the activities that we did was water safety and kayaking. I own my own kayak and take it out regularly. I really enjoyed the day. Thank you to nestle for organizing the day.

Rock Climbing




On May 9th 2017 we went to the millennium stadium. The instructor for rock climbing was Kiri. She was actually really kind. I did struggle a bit at first but then I started to get better. If I could I would love to go back. Thank you Nestle for sponsoring the event.

Evil Twin


“Robbery down at Central City Bank,” yelled Detective West as he bolted down the stairs.
“Get the command unit down there, pronto!” yelled a police officer who also scurried down the stairs. Detective West rushed to Central City bank going as fast as a cheetah. Down  a huge crowd had formed. The command unit was already there cutting people off and clearing out the bank. Victor Mcintosh walked out in handcuffs accompanied by two officers. Victor Mcintosh, a well known doctor who discovered how to create the V9 serum made himself billions.
“We got him boss, he was the only one in there and when we found him cowering in a corner. He had two different backpacks full of golden bars,” yelled one of the officers with rather croaky voice.

The police officer shoved Victor into the police car. While this was all going on Harrison was sitting in front of his tv eyes glued to screen. He had just watched Victor been taken out of the bank and he couldn't help noticing the remarkable resemblance between the two of them. Harrison knew that Victor was innocent (Harrison’s day job was a lawyer), so he spent the next few days preparing facts and eyewitness statements. Even though Victor had a lawyer he was going to enter the courtroom and prove his innocence.

The next day was the court case and Harrison got dressed up in his suit and headed off to the courthouse. He went right in and started proving Victor to be innocent. At the end of the case the bank showed CCTV footage showing that Victor had got quite heated then took the gold that was right next to him then the camera cut out. However, Judge Wells believed that Victor was innocent, but that Harrison was guilty! So he was sentenced to five years in prison! He had to think of another plan.

Harrison asked that the Crime Scene Investigation Unit be sent down to the bank to investigate and so they did. The police had to shut down the bank so the the Crime Scene Investigation Unit lead by Wallie Wellsbury could work. They found some pretty interesting secrets like the safe lock which was frozen shut and burn mark all over the floor and walls. However, the strangest thing was hail stones weighing one hundred kg over all of the weighted pressure plates which coincidently was the weight of everything that was stolen.
“Whoever, did this is either a metahuman or a really weird meteorologist obsessed with their work,” said Wallie Wellsbury in a very sarcastic voice. “I am pretty sure that Harrison didn’t do any of this so I guess that we can set him free.”

The next day Harrison was let out even though he had only been in there for a week it felt like he had been in there for a year. Harrison went straight home and took a long and comfy nap on his own bed. Harrison realized that none of the would have happened if he hadn't stuck his nose where it didn’t belong.

Sacrifice Needed For This Job

This article showed up in the NZ Herald and I totally agree with this poster because phones are ruining people's lives. The average 20-25 year-old spends nearly 5 hours a day on a phone! That is way too much. Basically, if you get a job you are expected to do the job. You get paid to actually work not to turn up then go one your phone. However, there has to be some liberty if there is an emergency because if there isn't your house could be on fire and you wouldn't be able to be contacted because you are prohibited from accessing your phone.

Walht: assign probabilities to simple events using fractions and percentages.

Today I was learning to assign probabilities to a game played with 2 10 sided dice. I played with Heather. We had to roll the dice, find the sum and determine whether it was a prime number. We alternated rolling the dice. We did this 20 times. We recorded our score in the outcomes column. Of the 20 attempts, we were successful 6 times. So the probability is 6/20 as a simple fraction and 30% as a percentage. Since we did similar games this week I have a better understanding of probability. Next, I ‘d like to try with a higher number of outcomes.
