Art Colouring Book - NASA edition

 Hello Readers!

Today I decided I wanted to do the summer learning journey 2021-2022. I decided to do the learning journey to improve my reading and writing. In class I begun my first activity which  was a warm up. This activity was simple, easy and fun! It didn't take me long so I managed to finish it on time. The activity I had to do was to choose a colouring page to colour in and blog. I choose to colour in a astronaut image. ( The theme was NASA)


Thank you for reading my blog post :)

Business & Enterprise πŸ‘©‍πŸ’ΌπŸ’°

 Hey Readers!

This term for the kete we did business & enterprise. Business & enterprise is where you create a company/business, create products and sell them. We started this kete by going onto banquer and learning how to manage money and learn what you can do with money. After 3 or more weeks of being on banquer we started to get into groups to start our business plans. In the business plan we thought about what we were going to sell and everything about our company and products. 

Each group had four roles CEO, marketing manager, production manager and finance manager. CEO had to write down the progress of each lesson, make sure everything is up to date and write the letter .  The marketing manager made the posters, slide show and the banner. Production manager made sure the products were up to the standard to be able to sell the products. Finally the finance manager's role is to make sure we had enough money to buy stuff to make the products. We also had to stay on a budget of $20 or more if the teacher approves. 

My group was called "Lil Charms," we made charms out of clay and sold them for $2.50. Every single decision was important and payed a big role in our business.  Including what clay we get, how we make the products and when we make the products etc. I believe I did well for my business because I made sure our because was noticed by others. Personally I believe we didn't show all of the school values because we gave up at times and disagreed with each other. 

As a group it took as a while to make a decision because we kept changing our minds. Our first option was jewellery out of beads, stress balls, anime masks and finally clay charms. On the first of December we had a market day and we sold over $30 which I believe is really good. On the market day I brought a poster and 3 charms.

Making ginger Beer 🍺

Kia Ora Readers!

Today in science we learn't how to make ginger beer with ginger. We firstly did the blogpost and then on the next lesson we made the ginger beer. 

 Aim: I want to know how to brew ginger beer.

Research:                 








Method:

Equipment:
  • Ginger (source of sugar)
  • lemon
  • Warm water
  • Yeast
  • Cup
  • Spoon/popsicle stick
Instructions:
  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with water and soap.
  2. Get all of the equipment required. 
  3. Cut up/ mince 1 tablespoon of ginger.
  4. Put 1 tablespoon of ginger into the cup.
  5. Fill the cup half way with warm water.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon of yeast into the cup of ginger and water.
  7. Mix the mixture together with a spoon.
  8. Leave the ginger beer mixture to ferment for 6 days or as long as you want.
  9. After 6 days you can finally drink it and taste test it. 

Results:






Before --------> 

 After ------> 







Disscussion:

Sugar
  • Potato = Vodka ( Leave for 3 to 5 days) 
  • Rye =  Whiskey ( Leave for 5 to 10 days)
  • Apples = Cider ( Leave for 5 to 14 days)
  • Grapes =  Wine ( Leave for 3 to 4 weeks)
  • Hops = beer ( Leave for 2 to 4 months, 6 to 10 hours hand brewing)
What is fermentation?
 
Fermentation is when yeast eats the sugar and excretes carbon dioxide and alcohol.

What are the best conditions of brewing?

Making sure the alcohol is at a cool temperature by chilling the drink, not shaking the drink so that the surface area doesn't get increased etc.


What is the difference between beer, cider, wine, vodka and whiskey?

Liquor drinks such as vodka, whiskey and brandy are called "distilled alcoholic beverages."  Drinks like these will be more alcoholic proof. The opposite of this is " undistilled alcoholic beverages"  these drinks include less alcohol like beer, champagne, port, sherry and cider.


Tasting the ginger beer:



 My ginger tasted absolutely disgusting. For me it was a big fail. It tasted very watery and tasteless. I think I didn't add enough ginger, lemon and sugar. It lost it sweetness and became gross. It smelt very strong.
