Goodbye for now Mr Hunia

The last 8,7 weeks with Mr Hunia have been good. In those 8,7 weeks we have played games been creative and done some hard work. Today on the 4th of June Mr Hunia has left to go and study back at his Universty (a school for adults).

On his last day (4th of June ) we had lots of fun, because first of all we had to go and do sport at Tamaki College and after that ,yes after that we had to walk back to school and get changed in to our clothes because we had somemore sport.

Goodbye Mr Hunia. Room 17 will miss you.

Goodbye Mr Hunia. Have FUN!

Hokey Pokey

Have you ever thought of how Hokey Pokey is similar to lava? It didn't occur to us, until Mr Hunia (student teacher) surprised us! With making the delicious treat: Hokey Pokey!! I know that you're thinking,"Why on earth,would you make Hokey Pokey at school? Well,it all started in our schools kitchen.

Mr Hunia added in the first 2 ingredients in to the saucepan. Sugar and golden syrup . They began to dissolve in to a golden-brown colour. But as soon as he added in the baking soda, the hokey pokey began to expand slowly It then changed in to golden-yellow colour. The hokey pokey stuck to the wooden spoon, as Mr Hunia stirred the mixture.

Just like scolding lava, hokey pokey is viscous and runny when it is hot! As the hokey pokey cools it is a solid mass and easily shattered, porous and brittle.To us the hokey pokey felt JUST like scoria rock,because scoria rock has little wholes in it like hokey pokey.

"Well here it goes" I said. I took one bite of the hokey pokey we had made, I said, "This is delicious". The hokey pokey tasted bitter and sweet. I sucked all the syrup I could get out of it. It was real sweet, it tasted Magnificent.

We had a great day making hokey pokey. At the end of the day I felt like I learned a lot from hokey pokey and lava. It was a fun experience day.
