W1 - day 2 - activity 3 ( A time when I was brave )

THE BRAVEST THING I DID

I have a lot of moments when I was brave but here is one of them. My cousin and I were waiting in line for our ice cream untill we saw this old man holding a suitcase looking around with a confused look on him. It almost looked like he was lost, so I told my cousin to go ask if he was alright. However, she didn't want to go. I was wondering if i should go instead but, my head kept saying "i'm too shy, i'm too shy." suddenly it came to a point where I was brave. I walked over to him and he asked me for directions. I gave him directions and he was very happy. It ended with him saying "thank you very much, God bless." I will never forget this moment where I showed my bravery.

W1 - Day2 - Activity 2 ( My poem on the moon )

At first glance, my heart starts to dance

I'm up so high

Right next to the stars

It almost feels like i'm a butterfly

But just without the grass

I can't believe i'm on the moon

It's like a dream come true

Goodbye dusty moon, i'll see you soon

Activity 1 week 1 ( 10 foods I would take with me out to shore )

My Flower pot

This is my flower pot. This term room 1 is doing gardening. First, we had to paint our pot white. Then we had to draw a design in our books to give us an idea of what we would like to draw on our pot. After we got an idea for our pot we drew an image on our flower pot with a pencil. After drawing our design on our flower pot, we then painted our flower pot in the colours that we needed to use. Then we vanished our pot to make the paint last longer and to make it nice and shiny. Lastly and finally we planted two impatiens in the pot and we have watered them daily.

Chocolate Recount

🍫Chocolate Making🍫

It was a lovely day to make chocolate!!!

On Friday November 22nd our class made chocolate. First, we had to get in
groups of 4 or 5 people. I was with, Stella, Meron, Julianna and Galila. Once we got
into groups we went and sat at a table. While the jug was boiling, we got to choose
which chocolate flavour would we like. There was white chocolate, milk chocolate
and dark chocolate. My group chose white chocolate to melt. First, we got a pot
filled with boiling water and then placed a plate on top. After that, we place our
white chocolate on the plate and slowly mixed it with a spoon until it melted into a
liquid. Once it formed into a liquid we then received a Moulding tray. Then we
pour in the melted chocolate into the mould tray.We were also allowed to swap
with groups to get other flavours in our moulds.
After moulding all of them, Miss Paton took the mould trays to the staff room fridge
to let them cool down for a couple of hours. We wrapped them up in foil once
they were hard. We put them in a zip lock bag. In two weeks time we will take the
chocolates home and give them as a Christmas gift.

Camp Recount

Camp at Chosen Valley was super fun. We did all sorts of activities and the
food was amazing. Archery, the Confidence Course, Balance Island, Go-Karts,
Team Building, Kayaking, Rope Maze and Rafting were our activities. All of the
activities were really fun and I enjoyed them so much. The owner of the camp
Lynden gave us some rules to follow on the camp site. My favourite activity
was the confidence course because it was challenging and fun. It was also a
bit scary at first. During the confidence course I was thinking in my head, I
would never complete this but after all, I surprisingly did complete it. The
teacher at the confidence course was Mrs Dale. She taught me a technique
which was to do bunny hops to get to the other tyre. The ropes from the
confidence course gave me a blister on my hand and it was stinging. It was
really funny and weird because I fell down in the mud when my team was
watching me on the rope tyres. Me and my group went in the water and we
were all laughing. It felt so gross though. There was squishy mud on the
bottom and it felt like you were sinking.

At camp, the food was like we were in a fancy restaurant. They served
gourmet food. My favourite meal was the nachos. They were scrumptious and
tasty. The crunchy nachos were amazing and the mince was warm and
flavoury. I was in love with it. I also had sour cream with mine and it made it
taste even better. I was so happy because we were allowed to have seconds.
On the last day for lunch, we had burgers and curly chips. They were so good
that it was even better than a Big Mac from McDonald's. We would even have
vegetables for some of our meals. Other meals we had were Macaroni and
cheese, lasagna, roast chicken and potatoes.

The people in my cabin were Lesina, Kanan, Carolyn, Rhianne, Elina, and
Betty. Our cabin was the biggest out of all. I really liked the beds. They weren’t
as comfortable but still gave me a good sleep. For archery, I was really
surprised that I hit the target which was the colour yellow. Mrs Goodier was the teacher for Archery. I really liked the Archery. It was also funny because there were sheep talking while we were aiming and it sounded like they said “Mum,” so we all started laughing. The people that were in my activity group were Reyna, Meron, Mathaias, Tausala, Lomi, Toakase, Salote, and Kanan.

Balance Island was really scary I thought I would fall down but I didn’t. Miss Paton was the teacher for this activity. It was really funny because when she was walking on the bridge she fell in the mud and she got all muddy. My group was laughing and so was she. Go-karts were really fun. The teacher for it was Mel. When we went really fast down the hill, sheep poo would fly around, it was really disgusting and funny. I started from the top and I still didn’t tip over. It was a really fun drifting in the end. Mel was really funny she is Ephesians Mum.  In my opinion, team building was kind of boring but it was ok. My team hit the best score we balanced for 51 seconds and the other teams just got 13 and 14 seconds. The teachers for this activity were Virginia and Caroline. There was a log and we all had to stand on it. The log was either going to the left or the right side. We had to make it evenly levelled. The people on the side were the only ones who were allowed to move. I was standing in the middle.

There were more activities that we did. Some were fun and some were boring. There was also a bushwalk and my legs were dying but we had a great view when we made it to the top. I really liked camp.  I was hoping that we would have stayed for 1 week. I really enjoyed the food, activities and liked how St Therese joined us.            

My Tapa Cloth

This is my Tapa cloth. room 1 had to make a tapa cloth and I will tell you how to make it if you want to make one or if you're wondering how I made it. First, we draw 12 squares across and 12 squares down on a light brown piece of paper. To make it even and straight we used a ruler to rule the lines, but before we ruled the lines we did 3cm by 3cm. After that, we drew our picture on the paper and you have to use the squares. After your picture or pattern is drawn you can rub out your grid lines. After you rub out the grid lines you use a vivid to outline your image and too dark in the spots that need to be darkened. Then you can finally DIY your paper brown and let it dry. after diying you can bleach and let dry too. And then you are done! I was so proud of myself because I made such an improvement.

My Holiday Recount

My Holiday Recount

On a bright Saturday morning me, my Mum and my sister went
to St Lukes Mall. First stop we went to when we were walking
in the mall was Kmart. My Mum went to buy some clothes for
me, my sister and herself. My sister had some money so she
bought me and herself some Doritos. Since we were hungry
after shopping from Kmart we went down to the food court.
My Mum asked “What do you guys want to eat?” I replied
“McDonalds and my sister replied Sushi and bubble tea”.

 When me, my sister and my mum were sitting down and
eating I asked my sister if I could have one of her pieces of
Sushi. She gave me a salmon and avocado piece of Sushi.
It tasted so good. My Mum ate KFC. We went to order the food
and it came really late. It took awhile for my food to come.
I ordered A Mega Mac combo meal and it was really yummy.
While we were still down at the food court I went past Typo and I wanted to check out the Harry Potter things. I wanted
to see how much the items were so I could start saving up for.

After eating we went to a few more shops because my mum
needed to buy a couple of more things and then we were
finished from shopping at the mall. After that we went to our
cousins house to drop off something and then we ended up
staying there till 2am. I was so tired as well as my sister and
mum. My mum was driving home and I fell asleep in the car,
then we arrived home.

Little Red Riding hood Play

This is my little red riding hood play that I did with Reyna & Ephesians. I was the bad wolf, Reyna was little red riding hood and Ephesians was the grandma and narrator. It was really fun!

Glacier Dictogloss

Glacier Dictogloss

Glaciers are huge masses of ice that flows like very slow rivers.
They are huge piles of ice.

Glaciers begin to form by snow remaining in the same area
for years. It suddenly begins to form into ice. It forms by snow
accumulates enough to make ice that piles up to make glaciers. 

Glacier crystals are like the size of a baseball. The ice can be
100,000 years old. Some glaciers can be the colour of an
aqua marine colour. Glaciers could be dusty or rocky.

There are 2 different types of glaciers. Alpine glaciers form
on mountains and there are continental ice sheets.

Mountain glaciers are V shaped but when it expands it will officially become a glacier. The world's largest glacier is
Lambert glacier that is located in Antarctica. Glaciers are
found in 47 countries.

Did you know that the Lambert glacier is 100 km wide,
400 km long and 2.5km deep. Another thing you might
have not known was that 100,00 glaciers in the world has
is unnamed.

my time on earth

Dear Mum, 

I am on Planet Earth and I am having a great here.
There are hot countries and cold countries here.
I have learnt a lot from visiting Planet Earth. Earth has a lot
of strange and beautiful creatures. We have blue oceans.
The green is full of nature. The white are clouds which are
made out of water. Earth is pretty warm. It is the third planet
from the sun. I have the sun shining on my face several times.
Earth is 149.6 million km away from the sun. The name Earth
is derived from both Engish and German words. Planet earth
is made out of many things. It is made out of nickel, iron, rock
containing silicon, magnesium, aluminium, oxygen and other
materials. The earth was formed 4.54 billion years ago.
The first people on earth were Adam and Eve. Earth has
1 moon. Here are some facts about Earth:

It's not a perfect circle.

It has landforms.

It's the only planet we can live on.

Earth is the third planet from the sun.

Animals can live on planet Earth.

I have really missed you here on earth.
I wish you could come and explore my journey with me. 

From, Ana

My Holiday Recount

My Time at Kura

On July the 4th it was my big brothers 21st birthday. We went to a Japanese Restaurant called Kura. I really enjoyed the food. The type of foods that were there was Fired chicken, Fried dumplings, Sushi, Seagrapes, rice, Deep-fried veggies, Cooked/raw salmon and many more. for dessert, I had Ice cream, chocolate drizzle and cornflakes. I loved it. I ordered this one because it sounded yum. I also had strawberry mochi. There was this other dessert that was Japenese tradition like coconut banana and some other type of Liquid but I didn’t know what it was. The drinks I had was orange juice and water.

Before we started eating and sat down we had to take our shoes off, It was a tradition. We were sitting near a big rock wall. On the wall, there was an enormous dress hanging on the wall. At first glance, I was like WOW. I asked my sister why is that There, she said it was the great Giant king of japan’s dress. She said his name was Kura and that’s why this restaurant is named Kura. But after all she was lying, I actually thought that she was telling the truth. But I don’t know why the dress was there. There were other rock walls with other dresses on it but they were all different.

After dessert, we kind of had a second round of dessert, and that was the cake, the cake was tall, I would say it was about 50 cm tall. My mum brought it with her when we came. My brother was so happy and grateful he said thank you to my mum. Before we ate the cake we sang happy birthday and he blew his candles and make a wish we clapped 21 times and 1 lucky clap. Then we started eating the cake. The cake was chocolate with light chocolate cream and strawberry drizzle. It was Delicious. 

After eating and having a great time we left home. My house was a bit full of family. It was time to give gifts. I gave him his favourite candy and a card. My sister got him a huffer shirt and a card, the shirt was really expensive. My other brother gave him chalone and a card. Lastly, my mum gave him $200 and a huge card with her note in it and all of our signature’s. My big brother was really happy. This really was a fun day to remember.

Joe the Kangaroo

Joe the Kangaroo

At the age of four I got a present from my Grandma. The present was a Kangaroo which was also from Australia. I named him Joe. I have had him for eight years now. His personality to me is smart and happy. He is light brown, and he was very soft. He has a silky green ribbon tied around his neck and he also has a brown hat on his head. Once when I went to the airport to say bye to my aunt, I missed her so much. Then I hugged Joe and he gave me more company.  He makes me very happy.

My toy kangaroo is named Joe and he has a green tied bow,

He’s fury and brown, he deserves a crown,

He came with me to walk in town,

He’s from Australia in a very nice area, and this place may sound familiar,

He’s my best buddy, he’s very cuddly and yes of course he’s very fuzzy,

He has some fur that’s white, I hug him so tight,

He’s been on a flight thru day to night,

I love him so much when I give him a cuddle.

Minte Challenge Interpretation

Mintie Challenge Interpretation

Who had the longest Mintie wrapper?

Cleo had the longest Mintie wrapper with 90cm because she was using her
patience and she ripped her wrapper very thin.

Who had the shortest Mintie Wrapper?

Kale had the shortest Mintie wrapper with 7cm because he made it thick and it
was very short. Also he might not have done this task before so he would not
have had the practise opportunities.

Who had the same measurement?

 Miss Virginia and Sione had the same measurement number which was
65cm.

My measurement was 54cm mine was in the middle and I am happy with it.
