Egg Report

New Zealanders eat about 920,000,000 eggs per year which is two and a half million eggs per day.     Most of these eggs come from caged hens.

There are all sorts of eggs like caged, free range and barn. Caged eggs are the ones we eat the most, second is free range eggs and lastly barn eggs.

Caged hens have a really small place to lay their eggs. Their cage is on an angle, so the egg can roll down and get collected on a conveyor belt. When the egg rolls the hen can’t get them back because there is an a electric wire at the front of the cage which shocks them. There are 6 hens inside each cage. Brown hens produce brown eggs, But the white hens produce white eggs.

Organic and free range chickens have a big space to run, flap their wings and eat grass. They do all sorts of stuff like dust bathing, perching, nesting and running around. There is also a little house outside for the hens to lay their eggs.

Cooked eggs is much more better to eat than eating or drinking it raw. Whenever you eat an egg, you get a lot of protein out of it. The protein mostly comes out of the yolk. Between white eggs & brown eggs there is no nutritional difference.

Eggs are really high in protein and are easy for our bodies to digest. New Zealand egg yolk is really dark compared to Canadian egg yolks which is a bit lighter. Our yolk is dark because colouring agents are added to the chicken’s feed.

There are a lot of ways you can cook eggs, fried, poached, boiled and scrambled. A lot of people like to buy caged produced eggs because they're much cheaper.

There are 3 types of eggs that you could eat, but the one that is most likely to be eaten is caged eggs.

Holiday Highlight

As I turned on the big screen I saw that a Rugby League game was on. I saw that the Roosters were playing against the Panthers, I wondered which team was going to win!! When the game started the Roosters team was really pumped for the game. They tackled a lot of the panthers players really hard.

I was so happy when the Roosters scored the first try because I wanted them to win the match. As the league game carried on only a few minutes later and the panthers scored a try, they also got their conversion over. After 23 minutes the Roosters struck back with another fantastic come back try. 6 minutes has passed and the buzzer went for half time.

As soon as both teams returned they were ready to play. I got really tired when I was watching the game so I turned off the television because I got board. But in the end I searched for the results on the internet and I found out that roosters badly thrashed panthers.

I wonder which team is going to play the Sydney Roosters next?

2 Different Types Of Food Packages

The nutritional information that can be found at the back of food packaging contains information about what is in your food. It should tell you how much salt, sugar, fat, protein etc is in your food.

Nutrition = the process of providing and obtaining the food necessary for health and growth.

Task: Make a comparison between two different food packages. See what you can find out. Write a brief summary about your findings.

Food: Shapes Pizza Flavour	Per 100g	Food: Iced Chocolate flavoured milk	Per 100ml
Energy	2070kJ	Energy	267kJ
Total Fat	22.7g	Total Fat	1.7g
Protein	10.7g	Protein	1.2g
sodium/salt	564mg	sodium/salt	42mg
sugar	1.9g	sugar	7.9g

1) What can you say about the first package you looked at?

It has got more energy the the chocolate milk

2) What can you say about the second package you looked at?

It has less salt then the pizza shapes

3) Which food has better nutritional value than the other? Why?

WILL.I.AM

As WILL.I.AM entered our school,  the only thing you could see was the camera people movie and a lot of heads turning. I couldn’t believe that  WILL.I.AM chose to give 100.000.00.$ dollars to our school. “Why did they give the money to our school Mr Burt Tamai said” Because our work online said Mr Burt”.

We welcomed Will.i.am with a prayer, mihi, and performances. It was so cool because, the cameras that were there came from everywhere like, one news, hallenstein brothers and much more. The Hallenstein brothers gave a green stone as a gift to will.i.am, and my school sang a song. There were ten school’s from the manaiakalani area that came to see WILL.I.AM.

I really enjoyed meeting and seeing WILL.I.AM at our school, We were really lucky that he got to come to see our school and to look at our online learning. I wonder if WILL.I.AM will ever come back to our school?
