The Yummy Cheesecake!

 Kia ora, this week I did one of my favorite recipes. You might ask, why? Well because of covid, we have to work at home, and one of my AMAZING teachers made a hole slide with all these cool quick writes we can do. This week I choose to make my favorite dish, and I writ all of the ingredients down, and with the instruction as well. By the way, it tasted so good, and all of my family agreed! Because it was sooo dreamy, I thought, why not share it as a blog. That way other people can do it as well, but I have to admit, it was a bit hard. Good luck, and I hope you try it at home as well..

Lockdown!

Lockdown!

 Hello, last week Tuesday, the whole country went into lockdown, (level 4!)  At First I was really disheartened, because me and my friends were going to do a bake sale, and also I was going to perform the the bandquest with a couple of friends. So I was down. The only up side I could think of was, no school for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!  

Day 1

The first day of lockdown started slow but steady, or you could say BORING! Dad had said no tv or screens until the afternoon.  So, that was a deal breaker.  Although... Dad had driven to go get my brother from boarding school, in Auckland. Which meant only one thing... Drive mum nuts, and then watch tv. My plan worked in about twenty minutes, and I also drove Isaac, (my brother)  nuts as well. So I look at that and say a job well done! You might think, how is she staying fit?

Day 2

In the morning, I decided  I wanted to strengthen my thighs, upper arms and core, so that's what I did.  It was physically hard, and mentally hard. The Thigh workouts I do are called, Focus on Inner Thigh, Tone and Tighten. The other workout is called, 10Minit Inner and outer thigh work out.  Later that day I made my lavender candles, and picked lavender off the side of my driveway, to dry so them so I can make lavender pouches. 

Day 3

I woke up, did my workouts, and went on on demand, to try find an at home learning program, but I didn't succeed, so read a bit of my AMAZING cupcake book! I think the recipe that tickled my fancy the most was peanut butter and banana cupcakes. In the late hours of the afternoon, I made cheese and spinach savory muffins, PS they're amazing as well! 

 

Surprise!

Surprise! 

Kia ora, this week I REALLY wanted to try to write a really well thought out recount. Last week my teacher showed my hole class Quick writes that were done to a really high standard. They were neat and interesting to listen to, and it made me think, am I doing the BEST, ''I can do,'' or am I just getting it done? So I pushed myself to try follow the success criteria as much as possible. I hope that you enjoy, and if you have any feedback I would love to hear it.

Out of nowhere, we all jumped out and screamed surprise! You might have been thinking that me and my friends, had thrown a surprise birthday , or a welcome home party? Well if you did, you guessed wrong. It was a going away party. For my friend Mia. Mia had no idea that all  of her friends were there. She thought she was just coming for a play. Really we were all saying goodbye...

I wanted to wish Mia on her way, but how would I invite everyone to my house without Mia noticing ? My friend and I thought up a canning plan. Ella said,''why don't you try and distract her, while I give out the invites? '' Getting the finer details right would be crucial! For instance, the cake! Thinking of Mia, I thought that we could make a beach themed cake,-JANDALS, I said to my mum! We looked up a recipe, and followed it.  The last thing we needed to do was sort out  the snacks. What we wanted for snacks was, Chips, Chocolate, Drinks, Ice blocks and last but definitely not least (in my mums eyes, ...Fruit!) When the next day arrived , mum and I got all the food ready for the party; it was time...

All of us hid behind a couch or a chair, and nervously waited for Mia to arrive. Some one could hear them coming  and said ,  ''Ready ? Be  quite. Can you hear them?  1, 2, 3 I whispered... SURPRISE!!! Everyone was so happy, and Mia was also excited and grateful for all of the warming smiles and hugs. Over all I remember being so happy to send Mia away knowing that we all really care about her!

 To day I was biking to school in the rain and I saw these broken surfboards. Just sitting there! I love reusing stuff, and so as soon, as I got to school I asked a teacher if she could drive me there to pick them up. Now you might be thinking, Why does she want broken surfboards? Well I thought, maybe, we could paint them or make them into a sign. You see, at my school surfing is very popular, because the school is just across the road from the beach, and so they would fit right in. Here is one of my Ideas I am thinking of...

My Olympic booklet so Far

 Its the first week of school, and we've already jumped into it. Our term topic is about going for gold. You might be wondering why its called going for gold, but to make it more confusing, it means lots of different things.  The first thing is, our school environment goal.  We would like to get green gold because that means we are doing the best job WE can do for the environment, at our school. The second meaning is the olympics. In my class we have a booklet that has lots of questions and little activities, that we need  to complete before week 3. Now there's lots more, but i'm going to leave them for another time.  I'll leave some Questions that you can answer yourself, and some pictures
of my booklet so far.

Question number 1: When was the last time the olympics was held in japan?

Question number 2: What is the official hymn of the olympics?

Question number 3: what individual has won the most Olympic medals?
