Calender Art

This week Ponui-o-Toka have been making calendar art. There were three options cityscape, koru or hearts, I decided to choose hearts (Because it looked like it was the easiest and funnest). First we got a piece of scrap paper and began to plan so I started off by using a ruler to draw my lines in then I did it the other way. Then it was time to start drawing in our hearts, Once I was happy with my drawing I just the teacher gave me the my piece of paper that I did my calendar art on. So then I repeated the process where you get a ruler and rule your lines with a pencil then I decided to draw my heart's in each square grid on the paper and then I had to go along with the vivid along lines.

Net + Ettiquette = Netiquette

This week Ponui-o-Toka learnt about Nettiquette for Cybersmart we allways do Cybersmart on Thrusday with Mr Maddren and Mrs Morgan. Nettiquette is Ettiquette but on the net / internet. Mr maddren got us to make a MindMup by intoducing us to it and also made us make somthing else about nettiquette.

The Attack of the Giants

The giants are sucking up the people with their vacuum cleaners as if they were aliens.

I was scared for my life as soon as I could I ran into the castle hoping they would not get me.

The Giants were wearing boots with a tank on there back for keeping the people in and they also had some gloves and a helmet on hiding there face.

The Castle was covered in sand it was a dull yellow with a prince and princess inside then… I got sucked up because I was stalling, I tried to climb out but I failed. THE END

These are all of my sentences joined into a story.

SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

SWEET FREASH BREAD!!!!

Mmmm!! Sweet fresh bread!! Last week in class, Ponui-o-Toka read a big book about bread making. Then we made bread the next week. The reason why we did this was because we are learning about healthy eating for inquiry.

At the start of the day we made the dough but first we had to wash our hands because the teachers don’t want us sharing germs. Then we combined the ingredients together in a bowl while looking at the recipie. We mixed the yeast in a different bowl with water and Mrs Jack added in sugar and Mrs Jack mixed it with her HANDS!! Then we poured it into our other mixer and mixed it with a dough mixer.

The teacher kneaded the dough, when we are kneading all you are doing is just pushing down with the heel of your hand then folding over and repeating that process over and over again. While you are kneading you are spreading the air bubbles throughout your bread dough.

Then we put the dough in a bowl and cover it with a tea towel and wait 1 hour for it to rise in a warm space we left ours in room 6. I said “when will it be done rising i want to eat it” Mrs Jack preheated the oven.

I said to my friend “YAY!! Time to taste the scrumptious looking bread” When I tasted the first batch of bread it was really sweet I think that because Mrs Jack added a lot of sugar, The second batch tasted like a scone and both batches were crusty on the outside and soft inside.

I thought that the bread making was fun because we got to eat it in the end and it was scrumptious.
