Holiday reading

 Hey guys!

Welcome to term 4! I'm still in lockdown 😞, so I'll still be daily blogging. And just for your info, it's nuiean language week.

So what did you do in the holidays? I did quite a few things including taking the chance to hangout with two of my friends - Grace and Marejke - and arguing with my siblings.(surprise surprise) But what I'm going to tell about is a reading challenge that Auckland libraries set.

It was a round the world in 14 days challenge - though it wasn't really around the world - on a site called beanstack. So there were to things you could do: one log reading you've done and two do the activities and log them. 

Here is a photo of how much reading I've done.

Making a hut

Kia Ora guys!

 Our challenge today was:

1. Build a fort / tent with items that you find at home.

2. Your tent/ fort should be big enough to accommodate you.

3. Take a picture of your creation along with you in it.

4. Post it on your blog.

Below is a photo of mine.

I just used a sheet and some giant peg things. It's made for anything really, I even wrote this blog post in it!

This isn't really related but I decided to post a fun fact on every blog post I do, here is today's one: The barbie dolls full name is:Barbara Millicent Roberts.

Well have a good day!  

Macaroons

 So this week is a challenge week, each day Mrs G posts a new challenge.

On Monday it was a blog challenge we had to do a blog post and heaps of commenting.

On Tuesday it was the egg challenge, you know the one where you have to protect an egg so that when you drop it, it won't break.

Yesterday we had to read a short graphic novel, create a monster and then create a comic about the monster. Click here to read the graphic novel and if you don't know how to access it click here.

And today we had to cook or bake something. I made coconut macaroons (not to be confused with macrons or macarons). It took me and my dad ages to decided to make these. Then we were halve way through we realised that we didn't have enough coconut so my dad added some flour instead, I was worried that it would make it strange but it was delicious. But me and my brother described it as heavenly, if you'd like to see my brothers blog here is the link. Below is the photo of my macaroons.

Also fun fact I learnt: crème brûlée means burned cream.

And no I have not forgotten day 4! 

  

Happy Jar! :-)

 I know right, what a hilarious blog title!

This is how the story goes: One of my siblings said that a huge jar of peanut butter was intimidating, my dad was like, "Would it be less intimidating if it had a smiley face?" My sibling shrugged. I'm like, "Yes, Yes!" So I go and grab the vivid and my dad says: "Use a window pen." So I put the vivid back and got a window pen, it didn't really show up so mum just told me to use the vivid. So I drew the face. Then my sibling said it was scary, in my opinion it was cute. My younger sibling was very interested.

Below is it's photo, what should we call it?  

And don't worry i haven't forgotten about day 4!

Modelling clay

Yesterday me and my older sister made some things out of modelling clay.

It was very hard so we had so we spend a while softening it with our hands and rolling pins.

Then we made the things, after that we put them in the oven so they'd harden.

We made quite a few things for our sylvanian families.

My sister made: a skipping rope, two rulers, a toy snake, a toy crown, some random twisty things, a fake rubber, two fake twisty rubbers, a heart, a random toy thing, two balls, a rainbow and white thing and a star on a circle.

I made: a charm for a necklace, a tiny rag doll, a stack of pancakes with sauce, a random experiment which included play dough, a bracelet, a wand, and an assortment of fruits.

We also made several marbles.   

 

What's The Buzz?

 Today in science we were doing a project called What's The Buzz? which you may have already guessed is something to do with bees. We were all given a small container which had a bumblebee in it, don't worry it was dead. There were three different types male bumblebees, worker bumblebees and queen bumblebees. I had a queen bumblebee. We were also given magnifying glasses and tweezers but there weren't that meany tweezers so I had to use my hands. Lots of people were real disgusted about it but I was fine with it. First we examined it and while I was examining it fell onto my lap and when I picked it up I found out it was quite fluffy. Then we had to fill out a worksheet and if we finished that then we wrote down some bee facts.
