The Many Uses of the Coconut Tree

 

Today I made a slide about The Many Uses of the Coconut Tree. Each slide is a different topic of the different parts of the coconut tree. Coconuts are actually one of my least favourite fruits, but I do like how it has a lot of different uses, and I'm sorry to all those coconut lovers. Coconuts and I just don't get along so well. I hope you will learn a lot about coconuts and realise that you don't know that much about this plant.

Word Art

 

In the picture above is a picture of a project I've done on word art. Word art is a site that creates things like what is in the picture. You can chose any shape from Animals to Zodiac Signs, you can add words that relates to the shapes you chose, you can change the layout and font too. In class my class and I had to create a project that had to do with where you came from and what you are. Take your time and have a close look to the words I have inserted into this project.

The Manuka Plant

Its uses:

The Manuka Tree is a native plant to New Zealand. This plant has many uses in medicine, health and can make drinks from tea to beer. In the past, early settlers called this plant the tea tree because they would use the plant as a substitute for tea. They would also make beer by combining rimu(which is another native plant of New Zealand), and twigs from the manuka tree. The wood of the manuka tree was really strong and the Maori would use it for paddles, weapons and for bird spears too. 

Manuka Honey:

Did you know that the plant can make honey? If you didn't know, then now you do. This plant doesn't just make any honey, in fact it makes honey that can heal wounds and burn healing. In general it is used for treating minor wounds and burns. Manuka honey is more expensive than normal honey because manuka flowers give manuka honey its health-giving properties.

Habitat:

This plant can grow up to 6-8 metres tall. They are normally found or grown in wetland, river gravels and hillsides. When they are mature enough they would be able to survive in drought areas, strong winds, colder and wetter places too.

The Manuka Tree (Google Form)

 

Today my class and I had to make a google form about the plant we each chose. I chose the manuka plant. Here is a quick fact about this plant. Early settlers used to call this plant the "tea tree" because they would use the green leaves of the plant, they also used the twigs and some rimu to make beer. Click on the link above to fill in the form and maybe also learn a thing or two from my form.

Technology

 

Today at Tech we made Zucchini Fritters and these are basically pancakes with zucchini in them, but they are very unique. These fritters were amazing, especially with sweet chili sauce and the salad on the side. The recipe is in the slide below, along with the utensils you will need. I consider you trying to make these at home and try something new.

My New Tech Group

 

This week we were rotated into our new tech groups. I was really excited because I was rotating into cooking. In cooking this week we were with Mrs Hamer, and in a few blogs back I had mentioned her in one of those blogs because I was in her class last year for Tech. Today we made smoothies, and in the slide above are the ingredients we used to make this smoothie. I've made some smoothies at home in the past, but this one was different from the ones I've had. The smoothie we made today was really unique and it was very delicious, I would definitely recommend you trying this recipe because it's a smoothie like no other.

Technology

 

Today we had Technology and I thought we were going to rotate into our next class, but we didn't, but in two more weeks we will be rotating into our new class. I'm in Robotics and our next class might be cooking, but I'm not 100% sure if that's our next class. Anyways, today the year 7's just carried on with some work from last term. For the year 8's we went onto a site that was similar to mblock, but you didn't need a mbot, because there was a digital mbot there and it would show the code we put in. Today I coded the beating heart and the dice roller. It was really fun to use something different today and maybe next week the year 7's could join us, using this site.
