Healthy meal plan.

 Hello!

Today i'm going to talk to you about my health class. 

Yesterday we were learning about healthy meal plans and what is good to eat on a daily basis. We learnt that there are different things that you must eat to stay healthy. 

To stay healthy you must eat breakfast lunch and dinner, and you must have protein carbs grans dairy fat vegetable and fruit, all of that can keep you healthy when you are growing. 

Jhrnylle and I worked on a slide show that shows what you should/could eat for the week. 

A Healthy Menu For A Week!

I hope you can eat healthier with the Menu plan that Jhrnylle and I have made. Have a good day and I hope you have a good day.

Making Sherbet

 Aim:

I want to find out how to make sherbet. 

Research:

Method: 

Equipment:

•  Citre Acid 
• Baking soda 
• Raro or icing sugar 
• A cup
• A stick 
• Paper 

Instruction:

1. Get your equipment. 
2. Put your Citre acid, baking soda and raro onto your paper.
3. Once you have your equipment on paper mix your Citre Acid, baking soda and raro to your cup. 
4. Mix them together with your stick and try it.
5. Try to get the best tasting sherbet, and not make the teacher sick from it.
6. Wet your stick with water and taste it, if it doesn't taste right add some more baking soda but not to much. 
7. 
   

Result 

The sherbet was hard to make and tasted like dirt, but once you get the right taste then it would be fine. When you add the baking soda it makes the sherbet fizz inside of your mouth.

Discussion 

Why did it foam? 

The chemical reaction from the baking soda and Citre Acid mixing together when it touches your tongue. The same as mixing baking soda and vinegar, mixing the to would give a reaction with the chemical and start to foam up.

Reading/Hur 1

 Today in hur 1 we have been working on a story to our on reading level. I was in a group that was a bit to easy but I still got all the work done, in one day. My story was called Max and Alice, I will link the story in my blog (here). There have been question to the story that we all had to answer. Here are the questions and my answers.

1. What sort of club did Alice, Amy, and  Louis start? What happened to it and why? Alice, Amy, and louis started a kindness club in the library at lunchtime, 

The librarian closed the club down because the kids were drawing on the cushions. 

2. Who is Ms Va’a? What did she bring to school? 

Ms Va's is a teacher aide Ms Va’a brought her lamb and miniature pony to school.

3. Find a range of evidence to suggest that Alice is kind. 

Alice started a kindness club and didn’t get upset when it was closed down, Alice also smiled at people they way her mom/dad showed her to. 

4. Who helped Alice after she tripped  over? In what ways did each person help her?

Alice had given her pencil sharpener to max to help him get out from under the desk.

Write a question that will answer these words. 

1. Mr Sandbrook- Who is Max's teacher?

2. Amy- Who is nice in the story?

3. Earthquake drill- Why was Max not getting out from under the table?

Exploring Language

What do these words mean?  Find a definition for each one and use it in a sentence.

1. Crouch- Crouch means that the knees are bent and the upper body.

2. Supportive- Supportive means that some person/people are there to be supportive with how they acted or identify as. 

3. Drill- A drill is like a drill used to practice in preparation for an earthquake.

A person crouched down to be a supportive friend when a drill was happening. 

Write 3 sentences about the story using 'they're', 'there' and 'their'.

1. They're- They are

2. There- place,object

3. Their - possession

They’re about to go out with their friends. Max said “ the place is right over there.

In the story the names are really weird for some and I dont know why they are named that but its all goods. Anyway thank you for reading my blog and have a good day.

Women's rights

 Today im going to talk to you about Women's right's and before they had the right to vote. Before women had rights women couldn’t vote, because men thought that women could vote, work, and more. Women didn’t have the right’s that they do today back then. Men think that women could only look after the kids, clean and have kids. One lady didn’t like that Women couldn’t vote.

So on 19 of September 1893 Kate Sheppard changed all that.Before women had rights women couldn’t vote, because men thought that women could vote, work, and more. Women didn’t have the right’s that they do today back then. Some men think that women could only look after the kids, clean and have kids. Kate Sheppard wanted women to have rights but it wasn’t just her. Some women wanted to vote but they were to scared to say something. On 19 September 1893 everything has change for women. Thanks to New Zealand and Kate Sheppard that’s when other places gave women the right to vote.

Thank you for reading my blog have a great day.

DLO of Taiwan

 Today im going to tell you what my class and I did. We had to pick a place in the world to do a DLO about that place. I picked Taiwan because The place Taiwan has a place called Taipei and people say Taipei is a great place to go because they have so many places you can go and look at if you don’t have anything to do. Here are some photos of Taipei.

People in Taipei would Walk Danshui Old Street. It’s a place in Taipei that most people would like to go there for when they are on a holiday. There is a place called Elephant Mountain it’s a great place to hike it at any time, but if you want to go at night its doesn’t have any light for you to see. I think it might be smart to take a flashlight with you if you go on the hike.  

Thank you for reading my DLO about Taiwan/ Taipei and have a great day.
