Back To School

So much has change in 7 weeks. Our class room looks completely different our desks are separated. We have to keep our distance in class and outdoors. Our class room looks a lot like classrooms in the USA.  We have to sanitise before we enter the room and before we leave the room. We are not allowed to share anything at all. We are only in the class rooms in our syndicate.  We are not allowed any parents in school grounds. We have set drop off zones where our parents drop us off and leave. We have patroller on each drop off zone. The patroller on each station takes the little kids to their class. If we are sick or do not feel well we have to stay home.


Remember we are all in this together. We entered it together so we will come out of it together.

I am feeling pretty good about being back at school and feel comfortable getting back into a routine with learning.

Covid 19 update

Okay so as you know we are now out of level 3 and we are now in level 2 which means we are back at school. On my sheet I said my favourite memory was reading a great book. I said how my feelings were in level 4. I was feeling a range of emotions. Did you know that Covid 19 encouraged museums to step up their digital game. I am so happy we are back at school so I do not have to stay with my whánau. What was your favourite memory please let me know in your comments. :)

Koala Facts

For a writing task we had to choose a animal and research about it. I chose a Koala because they have so many cool facts and they are one of my favourite animals. Did you know that in Australia you can hold a Koala at Creek, Gorge Wildlife park. It is the only place that you do not have to pay to hold a koala and take some photos. I hope you enjoy.

Bad Dad Chapters 3, 4, 5

Hope you are enjoying reading my summerys on Bad Dad.

Chapter 3

Frank held his fathers hand as the ambulance rushed to the hospital. He had to have his right leg amputated on. Dad was in a lot of pain but still said he would not want to miss seeing him grow up. She cried " Oh Gilbert ". The doctors set up a portable bed beside his fathers. Thy got home and found a note saying I am sorry.

Chapter 4

Why is she sorry asked Frank. She is not coming back said Gilbert. They cried and cried until they could not cry no more. Frank would not stop thinking about her and still loved her. Gilbert lost everything they track owners banded him from the track. Dad was used to being a hero but now he was more like a zero. Dad would not leave the flat and they had to pay for everything. His father had stolen a toy race car track. Big men would come in and take stuff they think will be valuable.

Chapter 5

He thought he had the best father ever. He got a job. His job was driving. Frank thought it was banger racing. He will be earning money and driving fast. He was going to try to buy a new toy race car truck. He was going to be similar to a police. Frank wanted to be told because it was TOP SECRET. He looked concerned and Frank was extremely worried about his father. He kept on making promises that he could not keep. His father told him to go to bed early so he got upset. Dad would hold his son really tight when something was wrong.

At The Beach

As I look at the humongous waves crashing against the water as it comes towards the shore. It looks like dogs racing for a basket of dog food. I walk out to the shallow water and hesitate and look at the waves that are like triple the size of me. I then slowly walk back up to the shore. I stand on a shell and scream with excruciating pain. I go to the water to wash all the sand of my feet and check for blood. Luckily there was no blood and there was only a tiny cut. I then see an ice cream truck and go running letting my beautiful long hair fly behind me as I make a run for the truck. I get a double cone with vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce with 2 flakes and sprinkles on top. After I eat my ice cream I go back down to the water. The sea had calmed down a lot now so I went in and started jumping over the waves. A big wave came and bowled me over like a bowling ball knocking over a bowling pin. I  go under the water and can hardly breathe. The waves then get really strong and I am held down by the pressure of the waves. I then see some fish leading a friendly dolphin to me I get saved by the dolphin and I land on the shore. 

Can you please leave a comment on how I should finish this story. 
I hope you enjoyed my story.

Bad Dad

This is a summary of the book bad dad chapters 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy. If you would like to listen to these stories to I will leave the link here. https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/


Chapter 1

Franks dad was a banger racer it is a dangerous sport cars would crash into each other. His car was called queenie. His dad was the best banger racer ever. Frank was giving everything because of his father. He really wanted to go to watch his father race. But his dad would not let him because he did not want his son to see him get hurt. People in the stands would get hurt if the cars crashed into the stand. Frank would always run to the race and sit on all the broken cars.


Chapter 2

The night if the accident something was wrong with his dads car. Dad struggled to start and control his car. Frank screamed DAD when his dads car blew up. His car rolled over and over and over. Someone crashed into his car and sent him flying. One car exploded into flames. He promised his dad would be alright but he could not keep that promise.

Favourite Food

For my Summer Learning Journey I had to think of my favourite food and make it. I chose to do cupcakes. I chose to do chocolate flavour because I have the best moist chocolate cake recipe.

It takes 15 mins prep time and 20 mins cook time. It serves 12.

Super Moist Chocolate Cupcake Recipe


Ingredients:
For the cake:
3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Edmonds Standard Grade Flour
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
3/4 tsp Edmonds Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Edmonds Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup of Meadow Fresh Milk
1/4 cup of Simply Pure Canola Oil
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup boiling water


For the Icing:


150g Butter (softened)
2 cups Chelsea Icing Sugar (or Chelsea Vanilla Flavoured Icing Sugar)
2-3 Tbsp hot water
1/2 -1 tsp of vanilla essence (or flavour of your choice, optional)
Food Colouring (optional)


Method:
For Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C conventional or 160ºC fan-forced.
Line a 12 hole muffin tray with paper cases. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, then add the sugars and stir
in. Add the egg, Meadow Fresh Milk, Simply Pure Canola Oil and vanilla then beat with a mixer until combined.
Scrape the sides of the bowl then add the boiling water and mix until just combined (the batter will be runny).
Pour the batter into a measuring cup (it’s easier and cleaner than using a spoon) and pour evenly into each paper
case until ¾ filled (don’t over fill or the mixture will overflow).
Place in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.
For the icing:


Beat the Butter until smooth, pale and fluffy. Gradually add the Chelsea Icing Sugar, half a cup at a time. 
Add the vanilla essence (or other flavoured essence and/or colouring of your choice), with enough of the hot water
to make a creamy mixture, beating between each addition until fluffy. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes or spread over a
cooled cake.

Note: When adding food colouring add it a few drops at a time and make sure you mix it in otherwise you might
end up with a brighter result than you desire.

Maias Marvellous Hair Salon


For my Technology task I had to design my own logo. I created a company name that I want my company to be called when I am older. I chose to do the same colours but light and dark. I was going to put my company name by my mouth as if I was saying it, but I decided to put it under my chin because it would fit in the space perfectly. I hope you like my design. If you had your own company what would you company name be?
