Computer Game

I sometimes play a game called Sky Wire. There is a roller coaster which has a cart on it and in the cart is 3 little people. You go around the roller coaster while there are little obstacles that you have to wait to finish then you have to go around. If someone falls out of the cart, you loose one life, you have 3 lives, one for each person. The setting of the game is set outside at a theme park. The aim of the game is to get to the end of the roller coaster, having at least one person or more left, you go through the corse and you try not to get pooped on by birds or you loose the life for that person, so you have to dodge that. There are different levels, and when you finish a level, the next one could be harder or easier. You can play single player or multi player, I play single player, cause I dont like other people getting me out.

Prepare three 3 corse meals.

Last night for dinner I cooked my third 3 corse meal for the homework challenge.  For the entree I cut up some carrots and salary, and made some original hummus. For my main I cooked pork dumplings on noodles. I bought some pork mince, put it in the pan with some onion, cabbage, carrot and some corn flour. For the dumpling dough I mixed flour and water together, put the filling inside the dough, spooned some pork mince and the filling in the middle, folded the dough in half and pressed it down with a fork, I cooked the dumplings in bubbling hot water with some oil. For dessert I made sticky date pudding with butter scotch sause and a scoop of ice cream.

Here is a photo of my menu and photos of me cooking the 3 corse meal

My Mums Job.

My mum used to work at Quality Bakers she was a sales rep their. They sell Natures Fresh Bread, Monlenburg, and a lot more different types of bread, they also sell apricot slice, Caramel slice, muffins, cupcakes and more. Mums area she would drive to was Whakatane, Bay of Plenty, Thames and Opotiki. In those towns, mum would go to different dairies and deliver different breads and cakes and stock them up. I liked mum having that job because we would get free cakes and bread and slices. Mum had been driving a lot of kilometers a week! Mum had been working for Quality bakers for 17 years, then in 2010 the business was having a restructure and mum got redundancy, which means, mum didn't do the job anymore. Quality bakers is competing against tip top and homebrand, and other bread companies.

Argument I have had with my sister

When I am trying to do my homework and Kaitlyn (my sister) is singing so loud, I swear some days it could brake a window.

"Kaitlyn!" I say, shouting so she can hear me, but carries on singing.

"I am titanium, shoot me down..." I hear kaitlyn yelling.

"Shut up Kaitlyn" I say, "You suck at singing" I say, trying to get her to stop.

Mum walks in.

"Whats going on" Mum yells.

Yesterday we had a relever teacher because Miss Campbell was away sick. We did our daily routine except in maths, Mrs V gave us a coloring calculator work sheet. At 10:15 we went outside and met with the rest of he house and did the estuary run. After morning tea we did our how to videos and science fair. I asked if I could go up on the turf and do my science fair testing, I tested 3 people then another house used the turf, so I packed up and went back to class. I continued with the coloring worksheet, and my science fair aim and hypothesis. At lunch time I had hockey practice, we just did some skills and a game. In last block I was a little bit late to class because I was still at hockey, then I  went back to class and did some more science fair testing, I was half way through the second person then it started pouring down with rain.

My weekend.

On Saturday the first thing I hear is the alarm, and I look out the window and it is pitch black, then I remember that mum and I are going to the Fieldays with Nana and Grandad. Kaitlyn was going to Jade's birthday party and they were having a sleep over. Mum and I got up, had breakfast, and did our normal morning routine. Kaitlyn got up and went to our neighbors house because mum and I had to meet nana and grandad at the shops at 6:45am. When we got there we got ready to leave for the Fieldays. It was freezing so I was wearing lots of layers. When we got to Hamilton at about 8:00am the Fieldays were packed. The lady directed us to a park, but when we were just about to step outside there was mud and it looked about up to your ankle deep, and we forgot to bring our gumboots. There was a nice patch of grass so the lady said that we could just park there. We walked in, bought our tickets and walked through the gates and into the bit pavilion. Grandad wanted to go and buy some pans and a pruner so we let him do that while Nana, Mum and I went and had a look at crafts and clothes.

Mum bought me a hot chocolate because it was a freezing morning. There was free sampling from the brand Nestle and Uncle Toby's. They had an oat pancake and a small sample of Milo. We went and watched a dog show and looked at some alpacas. At 12.00am we went and met Grandad at ASB for some free lunch, because they were part of their bank. It was a dry pita pocket, and over cooked sausage, with hot spicy mustard and tomato sause. Nana and I threw ours in the bin, but Mum and Grandad ate theirs. We went and watch Josh off Master Chef cook some pasta and rabbit. I did not try any though. We went and taste tested lots of different juice and ice cream on a small spoon. We did a guess how many eggs are in the basket, I guessed 1067. Nana and I went to buy a cornish pastie, we had never tried them before, and we did not like it when we bit into it because there was something spicy in it. Mum got a bun and we went to hop in the car to drive to Raymonds house, he is Grandad's friend. We went and had a look at some horses on the farm, my favorite was Hatch. We went and had a look at 48 hour old lambs, they were so cute. We practiced hockey, said good bye and drove home.

Prepare 3 formal three corse meals.

On Sunday night, I decided that I was going to cook my first formal 3 corse meal for my homework challenge. I decided what I was going to cook and got to work. For the main, I made crumbed chicken wraps and for dessert I made delicious chocolate molten lava cakes.

Note: I did not get any photos of the Chick Pea Hummus, cheese and crackers because I had already made it that morning, and did not know I was going to do the cooking challenge.

Writing a conversation

On the playground

"Ouch I screamed as I fell off the unstable climbing wall"

"Are you okay" said a person standing neer by.

"No I hurt my left leg when I fell off the unstable climbing wall"

"Wait there I will go and get a teacher"

"Okay, but be fast, or I think I will pass out" I say sarcastically.
"Ok" Said Lucy "I'll try"
When I look down, I see that there is a bruise about the size of a base ball, it was dark purple and almost going black.
When the teacher got there she took me to the sick bay.
I said "Thanks" to Lucy for helping me.

Adopt a pet/foster one from a pet store.

On the 2nd of June, Kaitlyn, Mum and I were asked to look after a Teacup Maltese called Sophia, because my friend was going away for 6 days. Rewa and Madison dropped her off with some food,  her bed, a blanket and a cute waterproof coat to go on her if it was spitting or cold and we wanted to take her for a walk. When her owners left, she was crying, so we played her favorite game her special toy, the game was piggy in the middle. The first night, Sophia slept in her bed in our room, Kaitlyn and I would take turns of having her on our sides. The next morning, we looked at her dog biscuits and they were very big, we tried to feed her, but she wouldn't eat, and we thought that she was a bit nervous to eat, so mum rang her vets and they said that her food is probably too big for her, so I cut the biscuits up and she ate them, we were very pleased!

The next day while we were at school mum took Sophia for a walk. That night she slept on Kaitlyn's side of the room, but ended up on my side in the morning. On Saturday we went and took her to meet mums friends dog Milly, she was a little bit bigger than Sophia, but they got along well. We took them for a walk to the park and back for some fresh air. When we got home, she had a big drink of water, lay in her bed and fell asleep. On Sunday, Mum, Kaitlyn and I decided to go for a walk around the Waikareao Estuary, but it was 9 km and we did not think that Sophia could manage it. When we got home, she was very please to have some company and Sophia was very energetic! On Monday, we got up and discovered that Sophia had piddled and plopped on the new carpet! We took Sophia for a walk, twice on Monday, then we went to Rebel Sport and bought new hockey sticks. We had a hockey practice that day at school, but not all of our team turned up. When we got home, we had dinner and watched a little bit of X Factor. On Tuesday we had to go to school, so we said bye to Sophia, because Rewa and Madison were picking her up that day. Kaitlyn and I were sad that she was leaving, but we enjoyed the time we had with her!
Here is a photo of Sophia in her bed, cuddled up.

My Nana

My Nana

My Nana's name is Ruth. She is quite short and has a little bit of a bend in her back, she is very skinny and bony. She has grey curly hair, and whenever she comes back from the hairdresser, and sometimes fi I look at her from the back, I could mistake her for Granddad. She always talks to herself like there is someone right next to her and I say, "Who are you talking to" and she says "ohh umm the person right next to me, but they just left."But I knew better, nana was talking to herself.

P.5-Compete in a sport for an entire season

Every Monday morning at 7:30 I would go to tennis lessons at school for all of term one. Brett and Kerry Hampton were our coaches. Each morning we would do a set of warm up skills or games. This involved learning about the Base Lines, Service Line, Doubles Line, Singles Line, Center Line, Net and playing short games. One of my favorite games were Tennis Cricket this was a game of elimination, Brett or Kerry would stand on one side of the net, we would stand at the service line and return the serve, hopefully it would land with in the boundary lines we were given. If we didn't get it over we would go to the other side, trying to catch the other peoples serves. Each session lasted an hour  where we were taught new skills.

I really enjoyed the coaching methods Kerry and Brett used. At the end of term one I felt I had learnt a lot more about tennis and would now feel confident to have a game. It is something I can now do with family and friends when we all get together during summer.  I think it was a very good opportunity and im so pleased I had a go at it, I have learnt a new sport.

Charging laptops at school

Negatives 

• If you charge your laptops at school, it costs the school a lot of money, it costs 24 cents a day per person, and we have 30 people in our class. Plus I think that the school should spend their money knew resources like a new gym or new sports gear.

• If you charge your laptop at school it can be dangerous as well because there are lots of cords around on the floor and you could trip and hurt your self. 

• The school could spend their money on new resources like a new gym or new sports gear

Suggestions 

• You should put your brightness down, that will save your battery time.

• We could have a charger monitor and people could charge their laptops once or twice a term and when they have used up their 2 turns, they just have to work on paper if your laptop goes flat.

My Weekend

On the weekend Kaitlyn and I started the 40 hour famine, we did the "No eating" event. At 11:00am we walked around the corner to my mums friends house. My mum had made Cheese Scones and my nana had made pikelets. I felt so hungry, watching them eat it in front of me, so I just had one small cheese scone with jam, and counted how long I took to eat that, and I was going to add it on at the end. When we got home, Sam rang and asked us if we wanted to go out for Sushi, and I love sushi so we said yes please they came and picked us up at 1:00pm. We went and got some sushi, my favorite is Teriyaki chicken so I got that. After we went and had a look at the art gallery, there was some amazing art their! Sam offered us an ice cream, so I chose passion fruit. We went and sat in the sun and ate our ice creams.

Why do you get dizzy when you spin around?

Why do you get dizzy when you spin around?

In your ear there is an organ called Cochlea. Inside that organ there are 3 tiny semi circles which holds  fluid and when you spin around and around, the fluids all slosh together causing you to feel dizzy, when you stop spinning, the fluids keep mixing causing all of the items around you to blur and spin. On the outside of the semi circles are tiny little hairs which are connected to a nerve cell which is then connected to the brain. The first semi circle detects when you nod your head, the second when you cartwheel and the third when you spin around.

How do stars formed?

How do stars form?

Stars are formed from a cloud of dust and gas found in the Galaxy. As gas is pulled by gravity into a cloud the atoms bump together creating heat waves of energy. As it becomes night time, the clouds glow, which forms a prostar which grown into a full star.

BP Technology Challenge

On Friday our classroom went to the 17th Avenue Cemetery. We went their because in maths we are doing statistics so at the Cemetery we had to ask a question like how many people died aged between 30 and 60. We got into pairs and walked out of the gate and down 17th Avenue, into the Cemetery. We had a little look around for about 20 minutes in our pairs and gathered some data. Tomorrow we are going back to the Cemetery to collect the rest of our data.
