Beach Clean Up

I was learning to use the structure I have in my piece of writing, describing the beach clean up. I am proud of myself from sticking a lot of descriptive words into my writing and it still made sense. The structure in my writing is to make it seem like you did it by starting with “Remember” instead of saying “I remember” and summing it up by saying “That was summer”. I enjoyed thinking about how I could make my writing better and think how to improve my descriptive words while still making make sense. If I had the choice of doing all my work with this structure, I would say yes.

Remember,

Strolling along the sticky, hot footpath looking for rubbish.

A cool, refreshing breeze of wind blowing past and gone in an instant.

Finding little shards of sharp glass hidden inside a bundle of dried-out seaweed.

Looking around for rubbish with your friends, only finding smoke butts and shiny shards of glass.

Finally, wandering back to the comforts of the air conditioner.

That Was Summer

Chocolate Dog: The Hero

On Thursday, we had to write a narrative about anything and then make an animation about it. My animation was about a chocolate dog help saving a lamb and becoming a hero and the lesson was do good to others and in the future, they will do good to you. My goal was to try and make my animation cooler by making slower movements in each slide and I don’t really think I achieved it because of lack of time. I was learning to use onomatopoeia and ellipsis when I was writing my narrative.

Surf Lifesaving

On Wednesday,  my class and I went down to the beach for surf lifesaving. We learnt the rules to keep safe at the beach and we also learned how to escape a rip and how to recognize one. I really enjoyed surf lifesaving and it was really funny when Mrs Pou got soaked. It was really fun and it was better than an ordinary school day.

My Tangelo

Holding my tangelo in my left hand and trying to peel it with my other hand but I tried and tried but I couldn’t, thanks to my stubby nails.

A million years later, I finally peeled my tangelo with the help of a friend. I stared at my tangelo without its skin, it reminded me of a mandarin. I bit into my juicy tangelo as a bit of juice flies at my eye. I didn’t care though, it was too delicious to stop eating it. I kept eating it until it was gone.

I felt like crying because I had eaten all my tangelo. It was that delicious and I was that really that sad.
But thankfully, I got to have another one at lunch.

“Yayy!!!”

I was learning to improve my descriptive language and I think I did well. I was told we could do it any kind of structure as long as you add what it tasted like, looked like, feels like, sounds  like and what it smelled like. Next time I think I should try and use better words to describe the tangelo to make it more interesting for the reader

My Remember Writing

I Remember...  

Scrambling over to my sticky seat

Being slowly lifted higher and higher up into the air Things around me were shrinking and becoming smaller by the second

I started to shake and wobble in fear

Then everything stops…

And next thing I know, I go plummeting down faster than lightning

My stomach jumped up into my throat

I tried to scream but the wind came right out of me

Then the ride slams to a stop

That was my summer!

How To Make Butterscotch Pancakes

Makes 15-25 (Depends On The Size)

❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Today, I am going to tell you how to make butterscotch pancakes and for this recipe you will need:

• A Frying Pan
• A fork/whisk
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 sachet of butterscotch mix
• A Spatula

Steps

1. Add all dry ingredients (Flour, baking powder, sugar, butterscotch mix)
2. Then add ¼ of the milk and then mix quickly but carefully.
3. Once that milk has evaporated into the dry ingredients, add 2/4 of the milk and then repeat the mixing method on step 2.  
4. Add the last of the milk once the 2/4 of the milk on step 3 has been mixed in and then mix again.
5. Once the milk is mixed, is should look thick and gooey but now you will need an adult to give you a hand if you aren’t old enough to use a stove.
6. Turn the stove on medium and put the frying pan on the flame then get a thin slice of margarine/butter and put it in the frying pan.
7. Pour the butterscotch pan mix into the pan carefully and then put the mixture back on the pan and keep an eye on the pancakes because it’s 2 minutes on each side.
8. Once it has been 2 minutes, grab a spatula and then flip the pancake.
9. When it’s been another 2 minutes on the other side, take it out with a spatula and put it on a serving plate and top it of with maple or golden syrup.

Tip: Wait until the pancakes cool down then top them off with whipped cream
