the ingredients that we used were.

flour

white sugar

carrots

cinnamon

baking soda

baking powder

oil

eggs 

The texture was good 

 

The flavour was ok 

phases of the moon

• New Moon. the phase of the moon where it first appears.

• Waxing Crescent.The waxing crescent phase is the moon's first step toward fullness.

• First Quarter.The First Quarter Moon is a Moon phase when we can only see half of the moon 

• Waxing Gibbous. waxing means it is getting bigger and gibbous refers to the shape 

• Full. the full moon is where you can the whole moon 

• Waning Gibbous. waning means it is getting smaller and gibbous means the shape 

• Third Quarter.The Third Quarter Moon is when the opposite half of the Moon is lit up 

• Waning Crescent. only a little bit of the moon is lit up 

The moons impact on the tidesHigh tides and low tides are caused by the moon. The moon's pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon. These bulges of water are high tides.

Blog about the lake

Lakes Of Aotearoa

People need to care about these lakes because it is a resource that we need to today . people use it today for swimming, for picnics ,family time 

The human actions that have ruined this lake are throwing in rubbish, cows eating grass there has been many more but I can't think.

It is very usable in different ways, you can still use it to this day. In the past people used it for food, swimming and they also us it for materials and clothes. The lakes might have been managed by some supervisors like lifeguards. The lifeguards make the water afe and make sure no one dies or litters. 

The lake is a risk because people, they need lifeguards, The lake won’t last much longer,at the pace that we are going
