Social Studies

Today in social studies we were learning about the government and how it works. I learnt that the Parliament is the supreme legislative power in New Zealand and is also made up of two groups, the Sovereign and the House of Representatives. The parliament also has 5 functions which are, to represent the people of New Zealand, to provide a government, scrutinise and hold the government to account, make laws, and to approve how taxpayer money is spent. There are 120 members in parliament that are elected to be in parliament by people and their parties. The Sovereign, Dame Anne Reddy is The Governor General who represents the queen, and is the one who opens and dissolves Parliament and officially signs off laws. I enjoyed today’s lesson because now I have a better understanding of how the government works and how they run our country.

Chocolate Muffins

Today in Food Tech we made chocolate muffins which were delicious. The ingredients and the measurements we used to make the muffins were,
  • 1 and a half cup of SRF (Self Rising Flour)
  • half a cup of sugar
  • 2 Tsp (table spoons) of cocoa
  • half a cup of milk
  • half a cup of oil and 1 egg
Next we had to mix it using the folding technique and then we put it in the oven to bake at 180 degrees. Then when we took them out they were baked and ready to eat.
