Anzac cookies

2 Tbsp boiling water

In week 10 He Puna Kawenga we did active learning. I did  Cooking with Mrs Pedley. First we had to be put in groups, then we had to read a recipe and make it. We made Anzac Cookies. My group had so much fun making them . Here is what we did. 

1 cup of flour
3/4 cup of Sugar 
1 cup of coconut
1 cup of rolled oat
100 grams of butter
1 Tbsp golden syrup
1/2 tsp bicarb soda

Mix the flour, coconut, sugar and rolled oats all together in a big bowl . Then get the butter and cut the butter up in medium  cubes and then get a pot and put all that butter in the pot along with the golden syrup, melt over the stove. Then get the baking soda and and warm water and a cup. Then put in those two things once you have done that mix it with a spoon. When you think it looks good poor it in the pot and mix. Then what you do is put the golden syrup butter and the other two things the big bowl with the dry ingredients. Get your spoon and mix all of that together.Then get some and roll it up in a ball and pat it down and grab a tray and baking paper on it, then put the Anzac cookie on the tray. When you have filled the tray up put it in the oven for ten to fifteen minutes. When it has been ten to fifteen minutes take the cookies out of the oven. Then what you do is eat them. Don't forget to save some for later. 

Active learning

In He Puna Kawenga we did active learning.  Active learning is something fun and hands on. First we had to write a three things we learnt about snowflakes for a book. 
1) Snow is soft and fluffy
2) It is made out of cold ice 
3) Snow forms when water vapor  in the atmosphere and freezes into Ice.

Here are 3 things I learnt from the internet:
1) Snowflakes are form in variety of different shapes. 
2) Heavy snowfall is often called snowstorms.
3) Light and fluffy snow is called powder.

Here is the snowflake I created

looker on poem

In He Puna kawenga we have been learning to write descriptions.To write descriptions you have to be good at noticing,observing and wondering.

We went around the school doing this then wrote

poems inspired by Frank Kendon's the Looker on.

                                  

And cars beeping at other cars

And people  swimming in the clear water

And hot rocks melting in the sun

And bird chirping to other

And rooms coming out to play

And bushes filled with spider webs

And bright blue sky too hard to look at

And people talking in class

And leaves crunching under your toes

And hot concrete burning your toes of

By Kingsley.

A place rememberd

We had to describe our bedroom. We had to use adjectives and verbs to make it more interesting. Here is my description.

As soon as the white door opens a big as bunk-bed sticks out like a dark shadow. Beside the big dark bed is a shelf filled with pink baskets and toys. At the end of my huge dark bed is a huge barbie house. Also in the messy wardrobe is a mountain of clothes. 

6 Word Memoir

He Puna Kawenga  did  six word memoir we had to chose six words and show our teacher After that we have to be creative and draw it. then we had to go over it with Sharpe and then we had to colour it in and  show it in  Assembly.Then the teacher hung it up in class.. 

play dough it was fun.

Last week in the hall we made play dough with Room five. We had to use ingredients and we had to work in a team and with our buddies for the play dough.

We had a bowl then we got two cups of flour into the bowl. Then add 1/2 cup of salt then mix in with 2 tbsp cream of Tartar. Also add two tbsp of oil. 

Then get food coloring and  pour boiling water into the bowl and mix until they form the dough. 

After we were done with the play dough we made stuff with it  I made a cake butterfly, snail candies also flowers and that was it. 

We had to take a photo from the teachers camera and put it on our drive. then we wrote about our play dough on our writing book but we had to write the ingredients instead.

When we were done with that we copy it on our computer.
