Matariki.

Kia ora bloggers today's post is about Matariki. As it is coming we are doing work around it for Maori class. This post is going to teach you about Matariki here is what it is... 

Matariki is all about celebration and spending time with family. ... Matariki was also important for agriculture. The coming of Matariki symbolized the harvest festival where the Maori feasted on the crops they had prepared. Matariki is important because it also is the time to restart the Maori calendar.

Reading

Kia ora bloggers today's post is about reading as you would have guessed. For reading, we have been reading this awesome book called kuru. The book is about dogs who help people in lots of ways and the book has a little history about new Zealand. We had to do a slide with all the questions on it I have completed it and have inserted it below. The book is on the slide if you would like to read it. Bye.

Health

Kia ora bloggers today's post is about nutrition. So when you but the food it has a list of things in it, for example, butter chicken. Here are the ingredients so here they are

Energy

Protein

Fat 

Saturated

Carbohydrate 

Sugars

Sodium 

As you can see the first thing is energy so that is the most amount of an ingredient in the product. Next thing we are going to look at the health rating. Most products you buy have a health rating on the product, for example, the butter chicken has a 3 health star rating out of 5 that is in between so that is good. But if the health star rating is a one then you better shore make you don't eat a lot of that. 

So what is the message eat healthy, not unhealthy.

Making biltong beef jerky.

Kia ora bloggers today post is about making biltong beef jerky. So today we made our biltong beef jerky, yay.  Making biltong beef jerky was a great experience for science. First, the teacher cut the meat #The wonderful Miss Allan after she finished cutting them we got a piece of meat and put the salt and sugar on both sides. Once we finished we hang it up and put our name on it. Now we have to wait three days for it to dry out then we can try it. Our aim was to preserve meat using salt.

Here are the institutions if you want to make It your self.

Slice the meat into 1 cm thick slices about an inch wide. Place salt on one side of the meat then turn over and do the same. Put at least a pinch of salt on the meat on both sides to make sure it is not too salty. Hang it up in the sun so it can dry. After three days it should be ready.

Sugar is optional

Here is a photo of the biltong beef jerky.
