After the prayer we talked about how do we feel about graphics. We did a brainstorm about how we feel about doing graphics. We titled the doc graphics exceptions. After doing that Mr Pineda told us to make a doc and talk about making a restaurant. We all had to name  it. My restaurant name was burger rito and my special food product is mixed chicken burrito.

😞last week for cooking(Making Nachos) 😱

Today is the last day for cooking and after cooking we are doing graphics. Graphics is when you have to draw, paint and create. I am gonna miss cooking because I love making food and eating it. We made Nachos today and we used Doritos as nachos. So first thing I use is to get a frying pan and a wooden spoon.The first ingredient is two garlic. We first take the skin off and then we crush it with a rolling pin and then we put the pan on the stove and then get the crushed garlic and put it on the pan. After that we turn the stove onto medium and then cook it in till its cooked right. After that we put mince on it and cut it to small pieces. When it is in to small pieces, put the sauce on top of the mince and then stir it gently. After that we put cheese on top of it and then we grab the nachos and eat it! And that's how you make Nachos!

After that Room 5 did a song called 'Le Aute'. Room 10 and 12 did a song. Room 6 had models wearing Samoan and Tongan clothing and ta'ovala. Our song was Moana How Far I'll Go.

My favourite was Room 6 with there model display.

Netball!

This is the first week and Mr Reid is training the netball team for the inter schools. I am not in the netball team because I am not good at it. If you don't know what netball is, it is a game that involves a ball and hoops. It is kind of like basketball but when you have the ball in your hands you cant move. If you move then its a hand over which means you have to give the ball to the other team. I hope our netball team wins the inter schools.

I can take my Chromebook home on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I will have a great term.

When we were waiting for the power to turn back on, I went over my neighbors house and ask them if there power was off, But Suddenly they "said no". They said "They were cleaning before it get night". Just as it was getting darker the power came back on, and then I felt safe but I wondered what had happened to the power.
