BREAD!

last week we made bread so for writing we made a recount about making bread our WALT was to To Write a Recount about making bread with the correct structure and a hook.

BREAD

Bread,Bread,Bread  fascinating Bread is… last week the year five and six made bread. The teachers decide that it was going to be a cool idea to make bread because it would link to our healthy eating that we were working on for our inquiry.

First off we washed our hands then came rushing back hoping for the prize of having a front row look at the bread making. When we huddled round the table we could see that all the equipment was already laid out on the table. Once everyone was back our teacher started measuring out all the dry ingredients and putting them in a bowl. Everyone watched carefully to what happened hoping that something surprising will happen.  Mrs Jack stirred the dry ingredients together then started adding the liquid ingredients together. After the yeast and the dough was made we combined them together.

Once we combined the ingredients together Mrs Jack started kneading the dough. She pushed her heel of her hand down into the dough and then folded it over again and again. We kneaded the dough to spread the air bubbles and  that was when the surprising moment came the sound of the popping bubbles… Every one looked so scared. I mean it's just popping bubbles. After the popping stopped we stared at the dough being put into the bowl and there and then was were we were separated. I was so excited to see how much it would have grown. Mrs jack told us that to make the bread rise it needs yeast to make the air bubbles and that's why the bread rises because the air bubbles grow. For the bubbles to grow it needs to trap the heat and be put in a warm place so we put a tea towel over the bowl and put it on the shelf.

We left the dough to rise for about an hour until the dough had grown at least twice the size of its original size. So once it had grown we took it out of the bowl and kneaded it again and then we formed its shape and left it to rise again. After it had risen up again we put it in the oven for an hour until it was golden brown and sounds hollow in the inside.

We tasted the warm,soft and damp bread. As I bit into the bread it felt crunchy on the outside and moist in the middle but also quite mushy. The delicate crumbs crumbled down onto my lap but it was still so delicious.

I really liked the bread but I think it would be better if  we would have left it sit for a bit after it was cooked in the oven.

An Ice Blocks Choice

For the past term every Monday for maths we have been doing statistics.  First off we learnt what statistics was which was basically collecting data and putting it into graphs. So we have been making some graphs but first we learnt what some graphs were we learnt about pie,bar and strip graphs.After we started making some graphs I made two one is a pie graph and one is a bar graph.To make a graph we made a spread sheet and wrote our data in and then clicked insert ,chart and it magically transformed into a graph and from there I changed it to the graphs I wanted.  After I inserted my work into a doc and added some true statements.

The dog barked

last week for writing we had to elaborate on one small couple of words called (The Dog Barked)
our WALT was to to elaborate on our ideas.

The dog barked

Yesterday at the SPCA in a small cyan kennel There  was a beautiful golden Labrador with a silky coat of soft fur .The fluffy dog named Goldie lox was snoozing in a dog print bed full of fluff .When she  saw me she  jumped up, and out of nowhere a soft cute woof poured out of her mouth followed with a calming cry of excitement .

Key Words About Me

One of our activities was to create (Key Words About Me) our first step was to take a photo and print it out. Our second step was to get an A3 piece of paper and stick the photo on. Our last step was to write our key words on and done.

My Holidays

Because it has just been the holidays we got to pick one thing we could write about that happened in the Holidays and because it was my Nanna's   80th birthday I decided that I wanted to write about that.
Once we had written our work our teacher turned off the red squiggly lines that pop up if you spell a word wrong. So we had to do it ourselves and trust our instincts. I found it hard to know if I had spelled a word wrong. if i do

The Dinner

Walking in the door and woof woof woof was all you can hear. A couple of days ago on Sunday night me and all of my family were on our way to my aunties and uncles house for a family gathering because my Nanna is turning 80!!!!!.

We arrived at five o'clock ,silently opened the door the suddenly out of nowhere... woof woof woof!! Murphy The medium drown dog took one look at me and then ran off.

We squeezed through the door and there was my uncle greeting us. I put the food up on the bench and sat down with my sisters.After a while my family slowly started flooding in once my whole family was here we were all in a tight squeeze since there was 40 of us so me and my sisters moved into the small lounge and started playing some card games and dad was off to get the chips for tea.

The door was opened and dad was back with the chips and tea was called up. There was all of a sudden a huge rush to get tea, I got in first and got chips with tomato sauce,chicken and some lamb after I got my meal I headed into the small lounge and sat at the table. Of course I had the chips first but suddenly it all came to an end when I ran out of the yummiest tomato  sauce in the world ‘NNNNNN OOOOO!!!’ but then…  I SAW THE STUFFING!! I was skipping with glee to grab my stuffing ‘yay’. I finished my food within seconds and put my plate on the crystal marble bench and headed back into the playroom to play some memory and of course I won.

After playing memory for a while kids ice creams were called up and  the flavors were chocolate,coconut,and salted caramel and I love salted caramel so I got salted caramel in a cone  and soon after cake was ready and we were all lining(lining)  up for a piece of birthday cake and because it was carrot cake they added NUTS whyyyyy!!!! I hate nuts so luckily there was vanilla cake and banana cake with creamy chocolate icing yummy and best of all homemade raspberry sauce.

Once we had finished eating we played cars with all of my causins (cousins)and soon after it was time to go home so we packed up and headed out to exposur (explore) the outside and that's when everyone went crazy we were running up and down the drive the dog was barking we were screaming we had gone mad. After settling down with another piece of cake we jumped in the car and headed home.

It was fun it was so nice to see my whole entire family literally everyone and  it was cool to hang out with the scruffy dog Murphy .

Chuck The Chicken

This is my recount about kiwi can a couple of weeks ago. I have edited this but if you find things that i need to improve on can you give me some feed back on a comment.

Chuck the chicken chuck the chicken it was Tuesday afternoon and Mrs Raisins inquiry group was at kiwi Can. The leaders had shown a game called Chuck the Chicken.

Half of the group was on one side being the fielding team and the others were on the other in an  egg shaped circle. Passing poor  Daisy the black dotted cow that oinked  like a pig begging for food.

As the fielding team were yelling chuck the chicken Chuck the chicken Chuck the chicken Chuck the chicken. when I was in the circle it sounded like the crowed at a baseball game in 1992.

Nathan screeched  (CHUCK THE CHICKEN) the person holding the cow threw it with all  there might (PLONK) the cow had hit the ground. (ZOOM) the person was in action sprinting  around the egg shaped circle skidded round the edge  and (CRASH) straight into place.

Yeeeeeeeeeeee sssssssssssss the fielding had won they were  in a straight line before the  person got to his place. I felt so nurvers he was super speedy and he lossed imagine me having to go around the circle it was a nightmare. Round two is on so beware …

The other dumb boring always winning  fielding team shuffled around in position for caching the chicken that is actually a cow but oinked like a pig.

As I took a deep breath and said I am not touching that cow I am not touching that rubber cow.

The game started I closed my eyes then took a peck and quickly I passed it to the person beside me. (Hhhh uuuu)that was lucky chuck the chicken I shuffled away from the person beside me as she had the cow she threw it out on the stage and boom she was back in a flash.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we win we win we win we win we win we win we win yay. I was so glad I had passed to her or else  I would have to run and they would have bet me I was just so happy that she was in our team.

SWICH

NNNNNNNN OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I had to field wwwwwwwwww aaaaaaaaa.

I am going out the back so that I don’t have to catch the cow.

The person next to me started shouting chuck the chickenchuck the chicken. wow if I was her I would feel so embarrassed but after she had said it a couple of times everyone was shouting out chuck the chicken. Everyone except me I was whispering I want to go home I felt like I was going to blackout but I didn’t but I wish I did.

The other team started passing the poor cow chuck the chicken it landed on a girl fewf but man she can throw hard. Poor dashie if I was her it would feel like I was on a giant roller coaster and I would probably be throwing up imagine if she did throw up brown paper coming out of her mouth yuck.Brianna caught the cow and we all lined up behind her and yelled yay we won in a bored voice. Brianna threw the cow back to Nathan.

They started passing the cow around again and they just kept passing it round and round and round. I started getting bored even though I was supposed to be all excited about this.

Chuck the chicken they threw the cow and it zoomed straight to the back of the hall and someone caught it. But I didn’t know who it was I only saw a quick glimpse of him.

The other team went huh And we just didn’t say anything.

Kate said right everyone in four lines down here please. Well all I had to say was that the game was exciting at the start but then it got boring because we just keeps winning.
