We wanted to make a solar oven to cook chocolate buttons on a cracker.

First we made a solar oven by using a box, tin foil, black paper and glad wrap. tinfoil on the top and bottom, with glad wrap at the top too, then at the bottom we put the black paper on the bottom tinfoil.

Next we put the cracker and chocolate buttons in the box by the window and this is the use for everything: glad wrap to keep bugs, etc out, black paper to absorb heat, the tinfoil to reflect heat, and that’s all!.

After the third break we saw the chocolate had melted but it looked the same, it might sound like a weird combo (crackers and chocolate buttons) but it was so good the chocolate buttons was melted and just went good with original crackers.

I learnt that black paper absorbs heat and that tinfoil reflects heat!

Have you ever tried to make a solar powered oven?.

Every Monday some people chose to learn about Japanese culture and today we learnt how to do our names in Japanese calligraphy, but instead of expensive ink we used paint, then we used a pencil to practice writing our name before using paint, and after we started painting. we had to put on these jerseys so we don’t get paint on our uniforms, then once we finished we let them dry and learnt how to ask/answer how are you/genki desu ka then we had to answer with what we’re feeling to go to break, I said “Genki ski desu/im good”.

Do you know any words in Japanese?

Today we did EPro8 and we made a rowing machine! I worked with Ashlea, Aviv, and Thea then we didn’t have much time left so someone came to help us finish it before time ran out and then we used it wasn’t that much exercise but eh.

I have been learning how to ask for something/ask someone else to get it in Te Reo.
