Baking

Today me and my mum did baking. We made Vanilla cupcakes and Bacon and egg pies. We made the vanilla cupcakes out of a pre-mix. First we added two eggs, 125 ml milk and 4 table spoons of butter and then we mixed it. After we mixed for 2 minutes we put it in the oven for about 20 minutes. When they were cool we iced them. 

We then made Bacon and Egg pies. First we greased the trays, cut pastry into circles, then we added eggs, cut up bacon, milk and a little bit of salt and pepper and then painted the pastry with the egg mix so it goes nice and brown. Then we baked them on low for 20 minutes. 

Here are what they look like

  

What I did today in Lock down

Today is the 7th day of Lock down and it was a pretty busy day for me. First I got up and had online school, When it finished I started to read one of my books. After that I was looking for some paper in my closet for me to draw with and I ended up finding a lot of arts and crafts stuff that I forgot about. I also found about 12 pencil cases with lots of pens and pencils inside of them, I found my silly scent pens in one of them that I have been looking for quite a while now. I then helped my mum clean the pantry and defrost the freezer ready to go shopping tomorrow. Then it was time to feed my axolotls, I give them 6 pellets each per day. Later on it cleared up and there was a nice sunset so I went outside and looked at the sunset.

Tech

Every 2 weeks the year 7 & 8's go to Greymouth High School for tech. My classes are science and sewing. When we first get inside we are usually the first people there. We then wait for the other schools and we go to our classes. Yesterday in science we made things float and my new friend and I did it together. The first thing we did was we got some baking paper and we could draw on it if we wanted. Next we glued it together and then we got a piece of wire and put a cotton ball on it. We then taped the wire onto the baking paper and we then went outside to see if they would float. Me and Abbie went and we put this purple stuff on the cotton ball and we got a lighter and lit it. Ours was starting to catch on fire. We then went back inside and we tried I think beeswax and we put it on a cloth and we tested it before actually doing it. After we tested it worked really well so then we did it. Next we made a parachute out of a cup, string and things like coloured plastic bags and we tested it with an egg outside. Then it was lunch. At lunch me and Johanna went on Chromebooks and we just did things on them. After lunch we went to sewing class and we made these bags. First we could choose a pattern we wanted. Then we ironed the two long sides of fabric and we went to our sewing machines. We sewed the long side bits and next we folded the bottom and the top and sewed it. Next we folded it half way and sewed that bit. We then got to choose a string to go on the inside of the bag to open and close. Then we had a bag we could close and open. Then we tidied the room and we went in lines in our school and we then went in the van and went back to school.

My poor cousin has a broken leg.

My cousin Emma has a broken leg. She broke her leg because her "friends" told her to jump off a tower at her school. Emma is 8 years old and she is in a wheelchair now. I hope she gets better.

Helping my cousins move

On saturday my cousins were moving stuff to their new house in Hokitika. I really like their new house. My favourite room is the bathroom because it looks so nice and it has a big mirrer. We then got boxes and stuff inside the house, We were there for about 1 hour. I then went to go home for a bit and then a few hours later I went back to their house for a bit. The next day we went to their old house and cleaned it up.

snow in kumara

On sunday 4 of August 2019, There was snow that came to Kumara. Kumara has not had snow in about 8 years. I was about 1 or 2 years old when that happened. The last time I seen snow was at a ski trip. This year we are also going to ski camp.

Transformation using grids

Today we found an accredited image on Explore and selected it to use on our page. We then put a 5x5 grid on it so we could copy the image and make it original. Mrs Minehan selected the first two images so we could understand the process, then we got to choose our own image. 

I found the first one was pretty cool and fun

The second one was cool as well.

I chose the image of the the fern because I thought it was way better then my tree.

Scooter, skateboards, ripsticks and bikes should not be banned on School Grounds

Scooter, skateboards, ripstick and bikes should not be banned on school grounds

I don't think they should be banned. People that use them might not able to do it again. If people keeps them outside they might get stolen so people have to put them back where they belong. And people can do cool tricks on scooters and bikes and others. If you are not allowed to have it anymore. People might have nothing to do at morning tea and lunch. And people play games with them.  Riding on them is also fun, And doing other things with them like jumping on scooters and stuff. If they do get rid of them. It wont be okay because I use them to and play with them.

The time i looked in the mirror

The time I looked in the mirror When Koda dyed my hair I could feel the hair dye dripping from the bottle on my head. When I saw it in the mirror. My hair looked darker then how the package of the hair dye looked tho. My hair kinda looked black but that was ok I didn’t mind black or brown hair cause there kinda the same. Then I hairdred it and then it got darker. I got super excited since it is my first time having dark hair.

My Cool Descriptive Writing

I leaped into the air. My hair pushed into the ground, It looked freaky when I was upside down. I could hear heaps of people cheering my name, I whispered to myself “i can do this!” and then I leaped to the floor and gone upside down for 3 seconds. I was scared, but i was brave and proud of myself. My heart was beating so fast like thunder.i see people bow at me.
