Jeff is praying

 On one sad evening there was a strange animal that was all by himself. His family had left him because they didn't love him. He had done bad things like, disobeying his parents, bulling his friends and messing up his room a lot.​ 

His parents still love him but don’t want to live with him anymore. 

One day Jeff went outside of his house and he was praying for his parents too come back and live with him forever and ever. 

When he was finished praying he went inside and he heard a voice. “ Jeff were are you “ said his parents. “ Who said 

That “ said Jeff. “ Jeff were are you. We are your parents, come here. “ what, ahhh, Mum, Dad, you came back for me. Yes we did” said Mum and Dad. From that day they lived happily ever after.

The day my mind went WOW!

 The day my mind went WOW!

I can feel a nice crispy bread.

I can see dark purplely jam with sloppy cream on top.

I can taste nice fluffy flour with strawberry Jam.

I can smell fluffy flour and dark Jam like the colour purple.

I can hear crispy, crunchy bread like the sound of chicken spitting in the pan.

• ​3 cups Edmonds standard flour

• 6 tsp Edmonds baking powder             

• ¼ tsp salt                                            

• extra Meadow Fresh milk

• 75g butter

• 1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately

METHOD

1. ​Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
   
   

2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
   
   

3. Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
   
   

4. Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
   
   

5. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft. 

 

Lantern story

In Totara class, we are doing lanterns  because we wanted to enter a compensation and to win it. We are learning about endangered animals. The endangered animals are the Maui Dolphin, NZ sea Lion and Fiordland crested. We are going to send a photo of our lanterns and it will go in to a competition at Wellington lantern festival😁    

baby birds

 On one very nice sunny afternoon, I was walking past a very colourful tree when I saw a nest with little, little baby eggs in it . When I saw the nest  the mum flew in  its nest with a very big , fat  tummy.  

 Then  I heard a “CRACK and a CRUNCH” coming  from the  nest. I said “what was the noise , mm, maybe it was coming from the nest, yeah that's right  the eggs are hatching, I should have known”.  Then  I heard some chirping coming from the little baby birds. Then there flew off with their mum.
