Truffle Making Recount

Truffle Making
Recount

On Friday, November 29th we made truffles. There were
three types of flavors, Apricot, cranberry, chocolate with
raisins. I choose apricot flavor because I have never tasted
Apricot. Of course, we had to wash our hands before we
started doing the ingredients. The people who were in my
group are Zariah, Cleo, Stella, Anna, and Elina, she came
kinda in the middle of making it because she was finishing
off some work. 

• First, we put a cup of dried apricots into Miss Paton's
• food processor, so we could have it minced beautifully.

Then we added dissociated coconut to the minced apricots.

• Next we had to pour some condensed milk into the bowl
• of apricots and coconut. I really wanted to dip my finger
• into the mixture and put it right in my mouth but I actually
• did it was so sweet. The truffles and other goodies we
• have made will be presents for our families for Christmas.

Now it was time for the most sticky part.

We had to roll the mixture into medium size balls.

All together we made 21 apricot truffles like OH MY GOSH.
Miss Paton put all our truffles in the fridge.

On Monday, the next week, we made melted chocolate
for the cover of the Truffles then, later on, Miss Paton went
to take the Truffles out of the fridge and started to dip
them into the melted chocolate but not with our hands
but with a spoon just incase we eat it and put our germs
inside chocolate bowl. Finally, all our truffles were ready
to go into the bags for Christmas. I really enjoyed doing
cooking with Miss Paton

Flower pot

This term in room 1 we were doing gardening. We first had to paint our pot white because it was brown at first, Then we had to draw our designs in our books to give us an idea of what we would like to draw on our pot so I decided to draw something that was melting off the pot. After that we choose what idea of drawing we got and show Miss Paton she would tell us to start drawing. with a pencil. After drawing our design on our flower pot, we then painted our flower pot in the colours that we needed to use. Then we vanished our pot to make the paint last longer and to make it nice and shiny. Lastly,  and finally, we planted two flowers in the pot and now we have water them daily.

Chocolate Making with Room 1

Chocolate Making
Recount

It was unexpected but we had finally made chocolate for
one of our family members. Miss Paton put us in groups.
I was with Rihanne, Deborah and Athena. The flavours
were milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate.
We all sat on a desk and waited for Miss Paton to come

with our chocolate.  I and my group chose the flavour

white chocolate. After the chocolate was melted we all

gathered up at Meron’s table to see what was happening
while they were mixing. Later on, Miss Paton showed us
how to scoop the chocolate and put it into the chocolate
moulds. We all went back to our tables then started to
pour the chocolate into our moulds and also Miss Paton
told us that we could go to other people’s tables and get
use their chocolate. I and my group went to other
people’s table to get the milk chocolate there weren’t
much so we just took as much as we could. 

We used a pot and a plate to melt the chocolate. We
put boiled water into our pot. Deborah had an AWESOME
idea in putting the milk chocolate on top of the white
chocolate. After we finished doing that, we saved one
mould for the dark chocolate. no one in my group really
liked dark chocolate, there was only one person that really
loved dark chocolate in the group was me. After all of us
finished putting the chocolate into the trays, me, Lesina,
Meron was helping Miss Paton put the dishes into the
cleaning machine ( I don’t really know what it is called),
but the funny bit was that we ate some of the chocolate
from the plates because it really looked delicious. I hope
Miss Paton does some more cooking with us before
school ends.

Camp Recount

Camp Recount

 I was jumping around crazy days before camp. I would none stop talking about it. I was running around finding what I was missing on my list and what I got so my Mum would buy them from the countdown.

 It was finally the day. In week 4, Term 4. My Mum woke me up and told me to get ready, put my suitcase and bags into the car so I could be early to school or else I won’t be able to go. Once I got to school Salote and Ana grabbed my bags and suitcase. I went into the hall and sat down for the role, the bus finally arrived and Miss Goodier told us to 

We went to Chosen Valley Christan camp and this was my last time having fun with my friends because they are leaving to college, I was really excited to go camping but my mum was the most exciting one. Once we got at Chosen Valley camp I realised nothing had changed from the last time I had come two years ago. We grabbed our stuff from the bus and went into the house for a little meeting about what activity group we are in including the boys and what cabins we are in, even tho they have our names on the doors. In my cabin room was Meron, Huia, Tausala, Athena, Galila, Anna, and me. It was noisy at night and uncomfortable so on the second night, I got to sleep on a regular bed with Salote in another room.

These are the teachers that had come and which activity they were leading in.

CTK teachers:

• Mel (Uili fam mum) - Go Karting
• Virginia & Caroline Victor - BMX, Team building, Volleyball
• Miss Goodier - Archery
• Miss Kopua - Kayaking 
• Miss Paton - Balance Island 

ST Therese teachers:

• Miss Mcdonalds/Principal of St Therese (I don’t know how to spell it) - Raft building
•  Miss Dio (don’t know how to spell it) - Confidence course
• That was all I could get

In my activity group was Tausala, Reyna, Meron, Huia, Ana, Lomi, Matthias, Kanan, Salote. The first activity we had was Balance Island but the funniest part is when Miss Paton fell into the mud, then we did Rope Maze after we finished the balance Island, Kayaking, confidence course, Rafting, Archery, Team building, and last was waterslide. I never went on the water slide because it seemed scary and I thought I would drown. On the first day in the evening, we went for a bushwalk and that’s where I met some of the girls from St Therese.

I remember on the second day in the morning Mrs Kopua allowed us to have time to get to know each other but we had to go in our year levels, we went around the tree in our school line and Miss Dio would have to say stop and we would ask the person in front of each other questions, they are really funny and cool to talk too. When we talked to each other we would laugh and tell each other questions. One girl asked me “what is your fav colour” I replied “blue” but she thought it was red because I was wearing fully red that day. 

OH MY GOSH! I forgot about the food well, the food was like something I’ve ever tasted before. I really enjoyed it the food there especially everyone else. We had Pasta, Nachos, Lasagna, dessert after lunch and dinner, and much more, oh and we had biscuits for morning tea. On the last day, we had some jobs to do as in pack our things and put them outside, Spray and wipe the mattress, Vacuum the rooms and the CTK boys and St Therese had to clean the toilet and showers in the outside because they mostly used it. I was so sad that it was my last time saying bye to my new friends from St Therese. 

I really appreciated that had come with us, they were very funny and my favourite ones were Ofa, Siana, T.T/Tiffin, Savannah, Leka, Cathy but she’s one of my friends from Taekwondo, Erick was the funniest one because he would roast us, we all laugh crazy, and jump around. 

And this was my coolest time ever with St Therese. I really miss them.
