2. Line a tray with baking paper.
3. Cream butter and sugar with beaters.
4. Mix flour baking powder and salt and stir add egg too.
5. Roll tbsp of mixture into balls.
6. For coating mix cinnamon and sugar.
7. Cover balls in cinnamon sugar.
8. Put 5cm apart on lined tray.
9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are golden.

Sir Peter Blake VR

Walt: We are learning to find out what is happening in our oceans.

On Tuesday our class took part in the Sir Peter Blake VR programme. Alice and Grace showed us the difference between marine reserves and polluted waters.

They showed us about ten videos which were so so so amazing. In the videos, there were stingrays, enormous snappers, and the beautiful Three Kings Islands. Next, they showed a tyre an anchor, and a hydraulic piston all under the same wharf. It looked gross and murky with only small baitfish swimming around.

Compared to a marine reserve with huge snapper and kelp and a normal amount of kina the space under the wharf is a problem.

Toroa bio poem

 WALT take information from a non fiction text to complete a bio poem

TOROA

endangered, taonga, majestic, docile

Lover of their nutritious diet of squid,salps,octopus and fish.

Who feels upset because of the scary tori lines to keep them away from an easy snack.

Who needs lots of really quiet neighbours that don't clack and clapper.

Who gives warmth and love to their chicks,siblings and friends.

Who fears the long lining fishing boats that set thousands of hooks that can drown them.

Who would like to stay on the only breeding colony at Tairoa Heads south of Dunedin.

Who comes from a common ancestor of the penguins 65 million years ago.

This Is me going on a slippery soapy tarp and getting a soap sandwich.

I am somewhere in the pool with my friends playing. Another great water fun activity.

Narrative writing the red robot introduction

It was a sunny day outside an old abandoned warehouse on an island near the shore. Lumpy the small man was wearing a lab jacket staring at where the moon would be, next to Red a huge red robot looking at the shore.

This is my introduction to the narrative writing the red robot introduction.

shoes to feet ( no socks ),

self to car,

feet to bus,

transport to school ( not always fun ).
