Home Economics
What to do before cooking:
We take off our bags and put in behind the white board so we don't trip over it. Then we wipe our tables with a cloth.Then we take our jackets off and put it somewhere. Then take off jewellery and then we wash our hands.
What we cooked:
Yesterday on Home Economics we made Savoury Cases. Savoury Cases are basically like bread inside a muffin case with stuff inside it. For my one I used Ham and cheese and I made it with my group. The people in my group used spaghetti, baked beans and cheese.

Bill Gallagher
Bill Gallagher was born in Hamilton in 1911. He moved to Papamoa and studied at Papamoa school. He also went to Te Puke District High School. He left school at 15 years old so he could work full time at his farm. He was known for his sense of humour and jokes. Years later he made the electric fenses and turned old cars into tractors. He became famous and his inventions helped other countries too.

Advantages: Keeps naughty people away, It gives farmers better control, It is useful for animals.
Disadvantages: It hurts, It can kill animals, It can kill people.
3. The electric fence is now such a feature of New Zealand farms it could be called an icon. Explain it's creation.
The electric fence was created when Bill was working on his motorcycle and his horse came and and shook the horse.
4. How would you go about finding out what animal activists think of electric fences? Conduct a survey of at least 10 people to find out their attitudes to electric fences.
5.Design something for a garden that you could make with recycled electric wire fencing.

Soil Erosion in NZ
Summary:
Soil isn’t just dirt – it holds many nutrients and organisms. New Zealand’s soil is vital to the farming industry.
What is soil erosion?
Wind, rain, floods, rivers, glaciers and earthquakes all erode (wear away) the land. Soil erosion occurs when soil moves (for example sliding down a slope) to a different place. This may be only a short distance, or carried many kilometres away by rivers.
Impact of animals:
The settlers brought rabbits, deer, possums, sheep and cattle. The animals ate and trampled plants and trees, exposing the soil to rain and wind.
Impact of humans:
Humans have sped up soil erosion. New Zealand’s native forests once protected the soil, and tree roots kept subsoil stable. But settlers burnt the trees and planted pasture for sheep and cattle. Rain and floods began washing away the topsoil. On some hill country, soil slid down the slopes.
