Cooking with Mrs Tuipulotu.

Wednesday 27 November 
Today we didn't cook. Mrs Tuipulotu's previous class kindly prepared and cooked the meal for us. So all we had to do was clean. She did this because she knew we were slow and this meal would've been difficult for us to cook and we would've wasted a lot of time. 

Today's meal: Hangi.
Step 1: Dice the - 
        Vegetables (slice)
        Onions (square)
        Carrots (square)
        Cabbage (slice)
        Orange Kumaras (slice n dice)
        Potatoes (square)
        Pumpkin (square)
        Chicken (cut in half)

Step 2: Put the chicken in first and top up with vegetables, spices, and salt. 
Step 3: bake on 180 degrees for 40 minutes. 
Last step: Serve & Enjoy!! 

Judgement, Choices and Life After Death.

Wednesday 27 November. 
Today in Religious Education, we reflected on our Communion of Saints strand. We had to state what we found difficult and what we enjoyed. The three top squares state what we struggled with. The bottom three squares state what we enjoyed. The middle two we worked together to write. It states how judgement, choices and life after death come together. 

Favorite Manaiakalani Movie.

Monday 25 November

My favorite movie was "Never Give Up" filmed by Glen Taylor students in Room 13. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it was very inspiring and motivating! You could tell they put so much effort into filming this movie. It was motivating because they filmed their failures at first, then filmed how they trained to become successful within what they achieving e.g, rugby, netball and swimming. To conclude their movie, they stood in solidarity and said a bible scripture: "Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". That was also very inspiring! My take off this movie was learning to be confident within my talents and never give up! I also learned that mistakes are good, they are to be learned from.

My First Week At Our New School

Friday 22 November
This week has gone good so far! I really enjoy working in an open space, I find it really helpful. Despite all the noise, it helps me to use my initiative. My highlight this week was kiwisport. We played chain tag. We learned to stick together and work together as a team. I don't have any lowlights about this week, this week was great! I'm hoping to end off the year like this.
