Reflection

This week in class I am doing a reflection of what I have done in Te Ao Whanui.

In Te Ao Whanui I have been looking at invention that can change the world.

The time that I read the instruction carefully by doing a few comprehensions like Easio the yoghurt, the Jetboat

My personal best work is when I did the news report about the book New Zealand's Treasure Island.

The time when I was a self-manager was the time when I was skim-reading the stories throughout the week.

So that is it, that is my reflection throughout Te Ao Whanui so far.

EASIYO

 Easiyo

• Who created Easiyo. Len Light 
• Why do I think Len light called his yoghurt easiyo. Maybe because the way that he made the easiyo.

• What does the word " Deteriorate " Mean. become progressively worse.
• What steps are required to make yoghurt with the easiyo system.
• Half fill your yogurt jar with room temperature drinking water (15-20°C). Add the contents of the yogurt sachet, pop on the lid and give it a good shake, push the plastic insert into your yogurt maker as far as it can go, you're all set, now simply wait for the magic to happen.
• When was the easiyo company sold. 2010.
