Who Am I?

Who am I ...........

Kia Ora, Kia Orana, Talofa lava and greetings to you all. My name is Chelsea and I am going to tell you a little about me and my family. I came to Point England school in 2009 as a year 5 student. I was in room 14 and my teacher was Miss King. I was born in the Auckland hospital in NZ. My mum’s name is Shelly and my dad’s name is Taepae. I have 2 sisters (Taeshell Makita and Shelley Holden) , 1 brother (T.J Holden) and 1 step sister (Angel.) My culture’s are Maori, Cook-Island, Japanese, French, and German. This year I am in room 18 and my teacher is Mr Barks.

Tamaki Tech For 2012, Term 1

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Jumping up and down I was so glad to be in the cooking group this term. I love cooking because it is really fun and I always bake with my mum all the time.

On Thursday morning the year 8 students hastily walked down to Tamaki College for Tamaki Tech. I quickly lined up and couldn’t wait until my group started. Already I could hear the others in my group saying “I haven't had breakfast. Lucky we're in food this term.” We followed our teacher Mrs Heka into the cooking class and began to start.

First of all we had to wash our hands and get an apron on. Dakota, Helen and I grabbed a trolley and walked towards one of the cooking spaces. Everyone got into groups of three and then waited for Mrs Heka to put on the projector so we could get all the equipment and ingredient’s to make biscuits. Some of the groups had trouble finding the correct equipment and measuring the right amount.

We put all the ingredient's together and mix it until it turned hard. About two or three groups mixing was still wet. Mrs Heka added more flour of cocoa to it and then we began rolling them into medium sized balls. We then patted them down with a fork and then put them into the oven. We waited for a bit and then they were ready. We heated up the chocolate buttons for about 45 seconds and then put them on the biscuits with coconut.

When everything was finished everyone grabbed a biscuit and munched it. My biscuits were delicious and I can’t wait for what next Thursday.

All About Me

My Goals For This Year

Reading: My goal for reading this year is to keep up with my age and improve at least 1 year. Reading isn't really one of the things that I like but I am going to try super hard to make it as fun as possible.

Maths: For maths this year I would like to try and reach 100% and learn more strategies along the way. By achieving my goals I'm going to work of sites that are educational and teaches me something every day.

Writing: My goal for writing is to use better vocabulary and is to use paragraphs more effectively. To help me achieve my goal I will need to discuss my work with other students around the school and practice every day at writing paragraphs.

My main goal for this year is to concentrate on being a great leader and to be a responsible student around the school. I can't wait what the year is going to bring me but I hope that it will be something really fun and exciting.
