Brothers Grimm DLO

This is a DLO about the Brothers Grimm and some facts about them and stories they write

Fairytales and Fables

This week for fairytales and fables we are doing some vocabulary words and writing what they mean.

Myths: It's a traditional story especially the early history of people explaining a natural or social phenomenon and typically involving supernatural beings or events.

Legends: A traditional story sometimes popularly regarded as historical but not authenticated.

Fairytales: A children's story about magical and imaginary beings and lands a fairy story.

Fables: A short story but with animals as characters, talking like humans.

Is it a crime?

Hello fellow readers and welcome back today's blog post is about what we are doing for science. So today we are trying to find out if these pictures are crimes or not but if they are in what way. The people in my group are Felicity and Danni 

1. This could be a crime if it was not your car but if it was your car and you left your keys in the car then it would not be a crime.

2. This one is not a crime because it could be accidental or you could have not seen it.

3. This one is a crime  because the one you stole it and to it agents the law 

4. This one could be a crime if you were poisoned by someone but it could also not be a crime if you died in your sleep.

5. This one is a crime because someone else would have had to shoot them.

6. I think that number six isn't a crime because it looks like two people just crashed.

How does Resistance affect Current

Series: 1 path all components in a single loop

Parallel: Many paths

Currents: How quickly the electrons more (flow) measured in amps Currents symbol is I

Voltage: How much energy the electrons are carrying, measured in volts Voltage symbol is V

Resistance: Used to slow/resist the flow of electrons (current) measured in ohms Resistance has symbol R

Voltage rule: In series, the voltage is split between components. In parallel, the voltage is the same everywhere (volts V)

Current rule: In series current is the same everywhere. In parallel is split between pathways.

Between resistance and the area of the cross-section of a wire is inversely proportional. When resistance is increased in a circuit, for example by adding more electrical components, the current decreases as a result.

Do now Week 3

 This week for the do now is about calypso and it's about a style type of music that can be found in the Carribean.

While listening to the song I can imagine being on a cruise to travel the world or being at a cafe on a beach hanging out with friends, it's calming to listen to at first but then it starts to get annoying so it's ok when your relaxing and having some calm time.

Do Now Week 2

Today we are writing about a schooner and a description of what a schooner boat looks like.

A schooner is a type of sailing vessel defined by its fore-and-aft rigged on all of 2 or more masts and, in the case of a schooner the foremast is generally being shorter than the mainmast. A common variant the topsail schooner also has a square topsail on the foremast. 

The Design Process / Home Economics

The Design Process

For the past term in my Home Economics class, we have been working in pairs or in groups about making food for a stakeholder of our choice and make something. 

My group decided to do my English teacher and what we made was Sunday pancakes, this was the shopping list: Flour 1 cup, Milk 1 cup, Egg 1, White sugar 2 Tbsp, lemon zest 1 tbsp, butter 30g.

The time management took around 22 minutes altogether. The costings: Flour 1 cup - $0.05 Milk 1 cup -$ 2.36 Egg 1 - 0.48 White sugar 2 Tbsp - $1.12 Lemon zest 1 tsp -  $3.79 Butter 30g - 0.17.

Photos of what my group did:

Recipe:

Sunday Pancakes.

1 cup Self Raising Flour

2 Tbsp White Sugar

½ tsp finely grated lemon zest (optional)

1 cup Milk

1 egg lightly beaten

30g Butter or margarine melted

Method:

Sift the Self Raising Flour and Sugar into a bowl. 
Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. 
Add the lemon zest, milk, egg and melted butter/margarine and whisk to combine. 
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly with Tararua Butter or oil.
For each pancake, place 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles forms on the surface. Turn and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through.

 

Garnish with berries, bananas and flavoured syrup - Butterscotch, Caramel, Vanilla, Maple or Honey Maple syrup

Feedback from stakeholder:

Kineka, Candesse and Chloe

Thanks for the delicious pancakes last week it was such a sweet surprise!

 

I loved the colours of the toppings - the vibrant rich colours of the fruit contrasted nicely against the soft white cream. 

 

The pancakes were delicious and the batter was very smooth. I liked the overall presentation! 

 

Thanks.
