#Making Butter

In today's learing me and my class made Butter.
I really enjoyed making butter with cream and knowing what are the properties of cream milk.
What I didn't enjoy was I had to clean up my mess and wait till the end when I could use my butter to butter the bread. 

Manaiakalani Learner Questionnarie

I liked the question " what school do you go to" because Glen Taylor is such a great school to attend. The question that I thought that was the trickiest question was the one when the survey asked me if Learn Create Share affected or helped with my culture, I didn't get it and I was wondering way it would ask me that. The question that they didn't ask is if I had siblings and if they come to this school. I think that I should get chocolate ice cream for my participation and effort I put in this survey.

# Digital Dig

Lexiannah Huch

Talofa lava, my name is Lexiannah Huch. I am a year 8 student at Glen Taylor School. I'm sports captain for 2019, I enjoy this role because I love to play all kinds of sports and helping other students out if they are struggling. 

I have repesented auckland basketball for 2 year, I was the youngest for the 2 years that I have played for them. 2018 I was only 12 playing with 13 & 14 year olds, 2019 still 12 when we went to nationals but then I turned 13. I was really proud becuase I over came the fear of playing with older girls.

My favourite subject is writing because I feel free and opened minded when I write, I got a peice of my writing published to a book called ''Toitoi'. That was such a big accomplisment for me. 

My biggest challenge this year would be going to auckland champs in october with the yr 8 girls because we made history at the eastern zone basketball competition, overall we came first and were all so happy.

Kite project

Today we worked with our buddy class room 5, The older kids had to go pick them 2 or 3 little room 5 students to work with. So I picked a proud tongan boy named Villami, he was very creative, happy and a funny student. We got given two papers and we had to make a dimond shape, after wards we got a long thin stick to place on the paper. Then we turned on the hot glue gun and sticked the long thin stick on the paper shaped as a dimond and then got a hole puncher. Villami put a hole in the middle of the kite and then cut 5 meters of the green thin string and put it into the hole. Then we ran outside and tested the kite if it could fly and it did we were very happy that it workd.
