ANZAC BISCUITS!!!

Konnichiwa everyone! 

This is one of the last posts I´ll be doing today! So as a lot of you may now ANZAC Day is tomorrow! Last term we did a lot of activities near the end of the term for ANZAC Day and we were given today to again complete one or more activities that were related to ANZAC Day if we had the things for it or if we had enough time.

There were 4 activities that we could choose out of or do all of them and I chose to make the ANZAC Biscuits and DLO about the ANZAC Biscuits. I took 3 pictures for my ANZAC Biscuits. I also didn´t have any shredded coconuts for it.

Here is my ANZAC Biscuit Poster!

Heres the mixture!

It was kind of dry so I added a bit more hot water and since I didn´t have any more butter I just put canola oil :(

In the beginning I didn´t check if we had enough butter and ended up not having enough:( but it was okay still. I also remembered to wash my hands before I started baking. REMEMBER TO DO THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! When I had made the mixture and put it on the tray I opened the oven and realized that there were trays in there while it was preheating and I panicked but my dad said it was alright! 

In the instructions it says to bake for about 8 - 10 mins but mine ended up going in for 20 mins! 

Here they are!

There were 10 and I had given my mum and dad one before. I shared them with my family!

I took the photos on my trampoline because I thought it would be better lighting but when I was trying to take the photo with the chrome book it just blocked out the sun :(

Something I found hard doing this was not having enough butter and I was trying to get all of the butter out but on the food scale it said there was only 60g out of it ;(

Something I enjoyed with this was the finished product because it tasted really good and I enjoyed sharing them!

In the end I had loads of fun doing this activity and I cant wait for ANZAC Day and to get more butter so I can make more tomorrow! 

Reading Activities

Hello again!

 I am posting my reading work and in our reading work we had to just try and finish as many activities as we could in the amount of time that we were given! After that we had to choose one activity that we wanted to post onto the blog so I chose the activity that I did that was supposed to be like an interview!

Here it is!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

News Reporter: There have been reports of an unwashable truck that was finally defeated by a young boy who´s name is Sam. It seems it was a normal day for Sam until his dad came and asked him if he could wash his truck. Sam would get 10 dollars for his reward. As he went outside he was shocked at this monstrous truck. It seemed as if it was unwashable even. But it was no match for Sam and he conquered the truck!! 

 We have reached out to Sam and he is here with us today to have an interview about how he felt at the time fighting with this unwashable truck.

 Interviewer: Hi Sam! How are you today? 

 Sam: I´m feeling good! 

 Interviewer: That´s great! So you know why you´re here today right? 

 Sam: Yes I do. Because I deafeated the not so unwashable truck? 

 Interviewer: Correct! So shall we get started with the questions? 

 Sam: Sure! 

 Interviewer: Great! Okay, when you first saw the truck how did you feel? 

 Sam: Well at first I didn´t even see the truck until I realized the big mountain of mud and dirt WAS the truck. When that happened I was shocked at how gigantic it was but that didn´t stop me from not giving up on trying to clean it. I was really driven to getting that 10 dollars! 

 Interviewer: Wow! I feel like you should have gotten more than 10 dollars for that. So how did you feel while battling the monstrosity? 

Sam: I felt really optimistic with this and it was like slaying a dragon to me! Every time a tactic would fail I would try a different one until I finally got it. My SoakMaster 6000 never lets me down!

Interviewer: I wish I was as persistent as you! Was there anytime you thought that you couldn´t possibly defeat the truck? 

Sam: Actually yes. The only thing that I had left was my SoakMaster 6000, I had no other plan then that and I was praying it would work and just like that it did! In the end I got my 10 dollars and I turned into the mud mountain because all the mud transferred off the truck and onto me for some reason. 

Interviewer: Wow that must´ve been hard to wash off, a challenge right after another challenge. Well thank you for your time and we´re so happy that you could make it today! 

Sam: It´s no problem! 

(Interview Ends) 

News Reporter: Well that was our time with Sam. He's the boy who defeated the not so unwashable truck! If you ever need help with your truck or vehicle call on Sam, he´ll come with his trusty SoakMaster 6000 and will make sure the job is done!

Growing In Virtues

Kia Ora Everyone!

 How have you guys been through quarantine? I´ve been doing well and trying to post all my work and get as much done as i can! We were given last week and 2 days to complete an RE activity that had a lot of steps to it. We had to make sure that we went in order as well. Through this RE lesson the people in my class should have now known the meaning for virtue and growing in virtue.

The first activity that we had to do was a google form. I think it was to see how much we knew already about virtues or what we think it was about. We then had to watch a video with a priest talking about virtues and then read about virtues. The next activity was to name 3 virtues and explain what they mean and then we had to do another google form. After that we had to watch the story of the rainbow fish and the second to last step was to answer a doc full of questions. The last and final step was then to make 2 DLOs about virtues! 

We needed to also add in our schools values so I put that in in my last DLO, I had done the first DLO last week and then kind of forgot about the second one until 2 days ago so I finished it then. 

Here are my DLOs

In this activity as you can see we had to make a Venn Diagram  we had to write the actions of Jesus on one side and the actions of people who show that hey are virtuous. In the middle we had to show how people can try and grow in virtue by trying to be like Jesus.

In this activity we had to think about ways we would grow in virtue. In the rain drops we had to write situations that help people grow in virtue and then in the leaves we had to write virtues that we would like to grow in.

I hope you liked this post and that you and your family are safe at home!

Chocolate Mug Cake!!!

Kia Ora everyone!

Hope you are all staying safe at home! So as you may know we are still in quarantine and have online school. On Fridays my class would usually be going to tech (Technology) today so it was kind of like our own tech at home! We were assigned to watch a cool video about physical and chemical changes! In the video it showed examples of physical and chemical changes and underneath the video there were paragraphs that summarized the meaning of physical and chemical changes.

Chemical change means: Chemical change is when a new kind of substance is made e.g if you mix a gummy bear with hydroxide together it makes a gas which is a kind of substance!

Physical change means: A physical change is when there is no new substance made e.g if you put mentos into coke it will start to fizz and carbon dioxide will come out of it. This is still a physical change because carbon dioxide is one of the things that are used to make coke!

So after taking in all the new information that i had learned it was time to move onto doing an activity! There were 4 different science experiments that we could choose from and we could either do all or just one. I chose to do one activity. By the title you can tell what experiment i chose to do, but if not I decided on making a Chocolate Mug Cake! 

While i was making it I was kind of worrying about it overflowing but when it came out it was actually small! I actually had made one in the morning but then just ate it and forgot to take a picture of it. oops. So i made another one remembering to take a picture before eating it. After making another one I didn´t like it as much as the first time and ended up not finishing it but it was still pretty good :).  After cleaning up everything I got it out of the microwave when it had finished.

It looked kind of weird the second time i made it but it was all good!

After taking it out and making sure to take a picture of it i topped it with ice cream and sprinkles and some chocolate. Yes i did eat 2 but the first time it had nothing on it and I was sharing it with my sister and mom!

For the experiments the reason we  had to try at least one out was because it was to see if we thought there was a physical or chemical change in it. For me I thought that this was physical change because all that happened was the appearance of it changed. So It was only a physical change that happened.

I didnt really have any troubles with doing this experiment and it was actually really fun and easy to complete! 

Here is the link to the way to make the Chocolate Mug Cake if you are interested in making a quick and easy dessert!

Like i´ve said before hope everyone is staying safe and remember to stay home and wash your hands!

Under The Bed

Kia Ora Everyone! 

We have cut a week off from school so now it is the school holidays! But I am still finishing work that I haven´t done or completed finished yet and I have just finished my writing activity that I needed to do! In the writing activity there was a slideshow which had 1 picture in each slideshow and there were boxes with questions in them that we had to answer. For instance one of the pictures was of a boy looking under his bed and it seemed that something had frightened him and here there were questions about how he felt and what was under the bed etc. There were 10 slides and pictures that we could pick out of and I chose the one about the boy looking under his bed! I put all my work in a google doc and for one of the activities it included drawing so I did it in a google drawing!

Here´s my work!

Question Time

Question: What was the noise that Michael heard?
Answer: Michael heard knocks and tapping coming from underneath his bed trying to lure him in.

Question: What did he see under the bed? 
Answer: He first saw scratch marks on the wooden floor of his bed and the hands and long jagged nails that did that to his floor and as he looked up there were two bloodshot red eyes staring at him with a menacing glowing smile. 

Question: What will happen next? 
Answer: The mysterious being ended up talking to Michael and Michael thought that he just made a new friend but really this is all part of the creatures plan to capture him. 

Question: How did he feel when he first heard the noise? 
Answer: He was drowned with a feeling of dread and was instantly thinking about running to his mum 

Question: How did he feel when he looked under the bed? 
Answer: When he looked under the bed he was taken aback and frightened of what he just saw because that was not a normal thing and he was questioning how long that thing had been under there.

Question: What time of day do you think it is? 
Answer: I think that it is night time because he is wearing pyjamas and he was lying in bed at the time. 

Question: Have you ever been frightened of anything? 
Answer: Yes. When I was younger I used to be so scared to sleep by myself at night because I felt as if someone was watching me while I was sleeping. I´m actually scared of a LOT of things. 

Question: Why do things seem more frightening at night? 
Answer: I think it's because it's more dark and everything has shadows to it and when the lights are turned off your mind can see things that aren't really there like you could think that something looks like a monster sitting in your room when it's just laundry. 


Sentence Challenge

 The sounds of tutting comes from underneath the bed. This tutting noise slowly starts mutating into a low growl then an aggressive growl threatening to jump out at any time.


Story Starter

The scuttling noise had disturbed Michael, and he’d shot bolt upright in bed. After taking a deep breath, he flung himself onto the smooth wooden boards of his bedroom floor and took a peek…

Staring into pitch darkness he seemed to have noticed something weird along the wooden floor boards. Scratch marks. But these were no ordinary scratch. They were jagged and looked as if a tiger was clawing at the floor. But how could that be? There definitely was not a tiger underneath his bed. Right? *grrr* A low growling noise made little Michael take aback. He jumped a bit but got the courage to ask who was there. ¨Uhm hello?¨”asked Michael nervously. *grr* another low growl answered Michael but it seemed to have gotten louder which meant it was either being loud to scare him or coming closer. ¨Hi. If 
anyone´s there it's alright to come out. I won't hurt you. I'll even become friends with you if you want to. Hello?¨ 

 It seemed that Michael´s kindness was not paying off anything and it looked as if the creature would not attack. Michael thought to himself¨Maybe it just wants to stay underneath my bed. Yeah. Maybe it doesn't have a home and that's the only place it can stay.¨

 Michael slowly climbed back into bed having a slight feeling of nervousness and kindness in his heart. He felt bad for whatever was underneath his bed so he didn't want to tell his mum. Well this was a very poor choice to make. *Tap* *Tap* *Tap* ¨Hello?” Michael was starting to get a bit annoyed and scared by this thing that was staying underneath his bed. *Scrape* *Scrape* It sounded like the thing was scratching the floor!?

 Michael swiftly jumped off of his bed and lay on the floor trying to catch this creature, but as Michael looked into the darkness he screamed a terrifying scream and when his mother came running she found Michael in tears rocking back and forth on the ground…


Perfect Picture!

Can you draw a picture of what Michael saw under the bed?

Hope everyone is safe and again try to stay home as much as possible and wash your hands daily!
