ESOL - Athletics day

Yesterday was one of the most exciting but also a fearful for everyone, the event we did was Athletics day. Everyone has to wear their kahui house color , and my one is Blue and that represent Rirorio. Everyone is doing different things, like some people is doing social ( which is when you still need to participate but really don't have to try your best ) then the other things is competitive ( you have to compete and really try your best at every sports you're doing ). I pick to do social because I'm that kind of person who really don't like participating, since I'm not that type of person who like sports. Furthermore, yesterday was actually really fun. 

Also in my P.E class we have this record when we practise for it, so here are my results.

Long Jump - 2.58 m 

Discuss - 9.6 m 

Shot put - 6. 45m 

One of my technique in Long jump is start running as fast you can, and also when you get to the line don't panic and try jump as you can. In Discuss stand with your left shoulder pointing at the target and your body facing the direction perpendicular to your shoulder (for right-handers). Keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly. Hold the discus to your front, with your throwing hand, palm down. In shot put The chest, knee and toe should be in line with each other. The thrower places the shot into his/her neck. The left arm will be extended and out from the body with a right angle relationship to the right elbow. Over exaggerate the use of the legs in the throw especially the hips.

High Jump:

The year 9 girls have to participate and do high jump as their first event. At first I really don't want to do it since I'm not that really good at high jump, and I'm scared that I might fall and hurt myself. Likewise, I still have to do it so I try my very best to do it and I'm really happy that I get out of my comfort zone. High jump is not the very fun thing I did, in the Athletics day but I still enjoy it.

Discuss: 

I'm not really good at throwing because yesterday I have a very weak arm, but luckily I pick social so I don't have to really try but to only participate and earn point for the kahui house. I wasn't scared to do it, that's why I don' have to worry about hurting myself since all I have to do is to just throw it and sit down. After everyone has their turn, we can go around and watch and support other people because we have an hour break before our next event start. 

Running: 

I skip running because I arrive late, which is kind of sad because I was looking forward of doing it. So all I did was wait and get ready for my next event which is Shot put.

Shot put: 

This is the most easiest thing we did, even though the metal ball is really heavy. 

My favorite part of this day when we watch the relays, it was exciting and scared at the same time for our kahui. I really like part when were supporting them, and it was so enjoyable. I think we win some of them, but Riroriro lost one round. Yesterday was the most fun thing we did this term, and I'm looking forward again next year.  

Pizza Swirls

In our Home Economics, we made " Pizza swirls. It was somewhat simple to do, but the fact that we need to move quick since this will set aside a ton of effort to do. I truly love making this, and I would again suggest this. Despite the fact that there's a ton of things to experience.

Ingredients :

50g butter 

2 cups flour

1 Tbl baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 - 1 cup of milk 

1 cup grated cheese 

1/2 onion 

2 rashers bacon or ham slices

1 tsp of oil

1/2 cup tomato puree or pasta sauce

1 tsp mixed herbs or chopped parsley 

   

Method 

- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees bake or 200 degrees fan bake

- Shift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium sized bowl

- Cut butter into small pieces (grated if cold) and rub with your fingertips into the flour mixture until the mixture looks like a large breadcrumbs

-Make a well in the middle of flour mixture and pour in most of the milk

- Mix with a bread knife until the mixture binds together     

- Add more milk if necessary and use your hands at the end to help combine the dough into a ball shape.

- Place dough onto a lightly floured board and roll into a rectangle type of shape ( 35cmx22cm)

- Chop the onion and bacon or ham into small pieces and saute in a small fry pan or saucepan with a t of oil

- Spread the tomato sauce over the rolled out dough and arrange the onion and bacon on top

- Sprinkle grated cheese and mixed herbs

- Roll up the rectangle dough with the filling inside 

- Cut it into even sized circles about 3cm in width and place face down on a greased oven tray

- Bake for 12-15 mins until they are golden and smell cooked

-Remove form oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

As I would see it about this one, well I truly love the wonderful way it ends up and even its flavor. The mixture and the sauce, and even the fixings made the taste more rich. I truly love the texture, and I think me and my team did pretty truly well despite the fact that we struggled sorting out which one of us accomplish the work. This formula is a particularly decent sweet, and you don't need to get some pizza since you effectively make one all alone in 60 minutes.
