Donuts

Donuts

On thursday the year seven and eight went to the high school. The year six students were left behind. So we went into the liberty to cook donuts. We were there to learn to cook and we were put into groups of three. My group was Me, Lily and Aimee

The first thing we did was read the in recipe so that the donuts would taste good then we got all of the ingredients out they were flour, sugar, baking powder,milk and egg. The flour was 1 and a ½cups.Then we did the sugar it was ½. The backing powder was half a teaspoon and one teaspoon. Next we combined it all together and made a well in the middle. Then we melted 9 tablespoons of butter and poured it into the center of the bowl and then we mixed it in Then we added some milk to it.

Next we  heated up the donut maker up. The we spread it so they wouldn't burn the donuts. After that we pored doughnuts into the maker and waited for them to cook so that we could tack them out we had to use a plastic fork so that it would not damage the hot pease and burn them. We got brunt sometimes. It really hurt.

After that we got them out and then we  put whipped cream on them. I really enjoyed the cooking It was so fun to learn how to do it.

It was World War 1. It was 28 July 1914, My name is Hollie Bell,This is my story. My family is Dave-Dad, Susan-Mum, and my cats name is Lola. She is very fluffy.My Dad went to the great war, And we were left behind.

So we had to  knit socks  for us to send away to him so we had to go to the shop and get wool with the ration book that we had It only let us  get a little amount of  everything.So after that we had to pull apart our Grandmothers old pants and knit them so that they would fit us. Then we had to hand wash our clothes in a bucket.

Then we went  to the shop to buy some stuff with our ration book.

Mum was making tea. I heard someone knock on the door so I opened the door.It was the mailman and he gave me a card that was orange. I opened it. It  said  missing in action. So I gave it to mum and then she notsed that it was the wrong address and gave it back to the mailman The next day.

So then we had our dinner it was very yum. After dinner  I went to bed. Then when I woke up in the morning all ready for another fun day of knitting for dad at the war.I was so excited to be learning new stitch today it will be so fun.

So I started to get up and get ready  for some knitting. After I got ready I  went to mum and said  I am ready to learn the new stitch.Mum said ok then let's do it. When we finished  doing it I got a parcel ready to sent off to the war to my dad.

Safe cycling

On Tuesday the 3rd constable Jos  came  and then in the afternoon constable Terry came to help. The first thing we did was we had a talk in the morning about bikes and bike helmets. Then Tasman bought her bike in and we looked at it, we learnt to check our tyres,brakes,spokes and check if the bolts are holding every thing on tight. Then we looked at her helmet to see if the polystyrene was cracked if it was then you would have to  get a new one.

Then the next thing we did was go out onto the court and they were setting up a course that you had to look back and the put your right  of left hand up so people new which way you were going.Then we were practicing to put our hand up for a stop sign so that people know that you are stopping  soon because if you don't  put you hand out they will think you are going straight ahead ahead and run over you. I learnt that hand signals are very important when you are out on the road so is looking back  so you can see what is going on behind you as well

Then had some fun on our bikes. They made up a fun course that you had to follow so the first the was zig zag around the cones and that was all around then we went on to a plank  thad you went up and it dropped down. Then there was another one but it was bigger than the other one you had to go on and the ladder it was to try and keep you from losing your balance. Then we did it around the road and we had to follow the parents.We had to do hand signals correctly. Then we did a slow race that we had to go as slow as we could.

We are learning to use simple sentences compound and complex .We need to have punctuation and beginning and the end . We also need commas and cheek our spelling.We need the correct tense.

Top team

Top team

On Wednesday the 5th some of the school went to top team.When we got to Paroa, Kamara was there as well. When we got there we got put into teams and my team started at activity 3. It was building the blocks up as high as you can. When the horn went you started and then when the  horn went again you stopped. Our team won that game we had the highest tower. Then  the lady sent  us past both of the water games and to the next games.

When we did the conveyer belt that was very hard because it kept getting all tangled up in our feet. My favorite game was the gumboot throwing it got ones and twos sometimes I didn't even get it  on the target. My team didn't even get to do the water games so we all tipped water on ourselves at the end. I learnt how to work together as a team.

We are learning to use simple sentences compound and complex .We need to have punctuation and beginning and the end . We also need commas and cheek our spelling.We need the correct tense.

A lady called Diana Queenin.   came into the school to talk about fossils,Geodes, stingrays,horseshoe crabs and orcas. She showed us  some sting rays tails they had little spikes the orcas target sting rays and they eat them. Then she talked about fossils and she showed us some rocks that had been cut open for her. One was just a yucky old rock but the she opened it and it some beautiful crystal she said that there is a big cave full of them, they are big enough for a man to walk on the ones that have fallen over.

Then she showed us another one  in that rock there was like a jellyfish with a shell it was inside the rock. The next thing she showed us was a big horseshoe crab shell it had it legs left in the shell  and three eyes  and like a stinging tail but I don't know if they do sting. Then she showed us a dinosaur poo we got to hold it it didn't smell bad it just smelt like rock. Then she showed us  some snakeskin and told us how they shed.

Science road show

Science roadshow

On Tuesday Room two went to the Science roadshow. We had to tack a pen. So we went in and they did a show  for us it was about microscopes and they put a piece of paper under the microscope put a drop of water on top it made the writing look bigger. The microscope was a old fashion one.

When  they had finished the show they let us walk around and do the experiments.There were all very good because you needed to read the instructions and some were very hard to do. On was when you pulled the sick and a ping pong ball went up into the air and it came back down  and it went to the bottom like it was in a galaxy and then it sat at the bottom for the next person.

I learnt that Science is very fun you can use the things you have right now in your hand you can put little experiments. At the end the called up Jess and they put some powder at the bottom and then they put some water in it then it all bubbled up at it looked like a elephant.
