Making Biltong!

Hi, guys welcome back to my blog. Today's blog is going to be about Science. In Science, we have been doing instructional writing. We have been using instructional to write out instructions On how you make Biltong.  If you didn't know what Biltong it is basically dry meat. In my opinion, it was hard understanding what to do or write but once I got more into the writing I understood more about what I had to do. 

In the process of making the Biltong. The people who finish their instructions, they got to make Biltong first, And the people who didn't finish their instructions they got to do it the following week. In that way, no one missed out on making Biltong.
Also when we were making Biltong the teachers had to cut the meat for us for safety reasons. 

Materials/Equipment

• Plastic Bowl 
• Chopping board
• Paperclip or hook
• Knife

Ingredients 

• Sugar
• Coarse salt
• 1 strip of meat

Instructions

1.  Write out the step-by-step instructions

1. Get all of your equipment. 
2. In the same bowl add a small handful of salt and sugar then mix.
3. Next, get your meat and sprinkle a pinch of the salt mixture on one side of the meat.
4. Then turn the meat over and sprinkle a pinch of the salt mixture on that side of the meat.
5. Hang your biltong on a string line with a peg.
6. Leave the meat hanging for 3 days in a dry cooling spot.
7. When it is hard and dry you can eat it.

This will come to the end of this blog post. I am really excited to share the results with you guys because I have never made Biltong or eaten it before. I will make another blog post on the results of the Biltong because we have to wait for 3 days for the meat to dry out.

How much sugar is in Our drinks?

Hi, guys welcome back. For today's blog, I am going to be blogging about Health/math. So for health/math we have been learning about how much sugar is our drinks. So what we had to do first was write down in our math books how much sugar we think is in our drinks like for example, we had to guess how much teaspoons of sugar are in a bottle of coke and my group guessed 16 tsp, and the answer was 18 -20 tsp. For the activity, we had to for example in a sports drink there was 14 tsp so in 1 bag we had to add 14 tsp and if one bag wasn't big enough we had to use 2 bags. 

Our guess!

1. Bottle of coke  16 tsp - Answer 18 - 16 tsp
2. Energy drinks 20 tsp - Answer 14 tsp
3. Sports drink 18 tsp - Answer 14 tsp
4. powdered drinks 12 tsp - Answer 6 tsp
5. Fruit juice 8 tsp  - Answer 8 tsp
6. Flavored milk 10 tsp -  Answer 6 tsp

Here are two pictures of what we did!

Conclusion:
I was really surprised by how much sugar is in our drinks. I really thought that there was less sugar in fizzy drinks and juice but now that I know that there is a lot of sugar in fizzy drinks and juice, I am going to drink less fizzy drinks and juice.

Thank you for reading my blog post have a good day!

Hello to early morning sunshine and to the alarm clock ringing to get up and get ready.

Goodbye to waking at 10am being lazy and staying in my PJs for the whole day.

Hello to being with friends and laughing around all day long.

Goodbye to staying home and spending time with family all day.

Hello to having to clean up my mess and put my things away.

Goodbye to leaving my things a mess and throwing my things around.

Hello to an empty hungry stomach every morning. 

Goodbye to having half-cooked eggs with toast breakfast and warm hot chocolate.

Goodbye lockdown

Hello normality

Wordcloud/art

Hi, guys welcome back to my blog today I am going to be sharing another word cloud that I made today in class. So for my cloud, I used words that describe me in isolation. I'm going to be honest, but I had a really good time in isolation because I got to spend plenty of time with my family and also because I got to stay at my cousin's house Most of the time. In isolation, My favorite thing That I did was going for walks and painting. I would probably give isolation a 9/10.

Here is my Word art!
