One Tree Hill

“Come on”, I shouted to my friend, as he slowly slid down into the crater. “ Everybody go to Mr Marks” Miss King said. Everyone started to race to Mr Marks. Climbing out of the crater, I kept on slipping. “ Another hill? “ Yes”, I said. Almost all of the girls screamed.

Ice cream comets

As our teacher explained what we were doing this afternoon, she told us we were going to make ice cream comets. The ingredients that we used were, chocolate ice cream, ice cream cones, and hundreds and thousands or crushed cookies. I wondered if it would look realistic.

Finally the time passed, and our teacher told us the instructions. First we had to sprinkle hundreds and thousands on our hands and then our teacher was going to put a chunk of chocolate ice cream over the hundreds and thousands, then Whaea Janeille put the cone on top of the ice cream on our hands.

It was time to eat the delicious treat, we did it group by group, my group was first. As the sprinkles went over my hand it left a crumbling mess on the ground. It was freezing on my hands, it was like my hands were frozen. But it turned out delicious.

I want to make it again some day. It was really nice.

Immersion Assembly

From Immersion Assembly Term 4 2011

Outta This world, it’s this terms topic. At Immersion assembly Mr Burt introduced the topic, with a story. It showed us about how the constellations in the sky made a hook, Maui’s hook. If you’re in Hawaii, the hook in the sky would show the way to New Zealand.

Lots of the teachers dressed in customs. Some of them had dressed as, Ballerinas, some had Alien masks, The Sun, and Space Helmets. My favorite costume was Mr Barks Alien mask, it made him look like a real Alien.
My favorite team item was team five. In their video, their faces were on some of the people on Star Wars faces. It looked really funny because Mr Harris played a girl in the video. Everybody laughed.

It was a funny immersion assembly. I wonder if they will do something similar next year.

Alfajorcitos

Que bueno son los alfajorcitos. Muy delicioso. Room 13 made these special treats, to learn more about Argentina, they are tasty. When I tasted it, I almost dribbled.

Alfajorcitos are made out of, biscuits, coconuts, and dulce de leche. To make Dulce de leche you have to get condensed milk, leave it in the can with the lid on and put it in boiling water for 3 hours, when its done you have to cool it down for another 3 hours when its cooled down, you put it on the biscuits and roll it in shredded coconuts..

The Alfajorcitos tasted delicious, it was so nice that I wanted two of them, but sadly we all only got one. The biscuit crunchy, and the dulce de leche made it smooth and sticky, the coconut made it even better, but I didn't get lots of it on the sides when we rolled them. I want to make them again some day.

They are one of the best snacks I've ever tasted before. It was like eating a bunch of lollies.

Aussie Rules

Every Thursday, we learn some skills that you could use in Aussie Rules. We are taught by two professional AFL players, their names are Megan, and Allysa. Waiting to start, they told us the instructions.

Last weeks warm up game we played was called bumper jumper. In bumper jumper you have to jump on one leg, and hit your partner with your arms on your side, if their other leg goes on the ground they have to swap to their other leg, and their partner gets a point.

After that warm up game, we had another warm up game, we had to stay with the same partner and take turns. We had to run with the ball and bounce it at the same time. The first time we did it we walked. The second time we went, we had to bend down on one knee and bounce the ball. But the third time we ran, it was kind of easy.

Finally we played a game, it was called Kick ball, it is like baseball except we used an AFL ball. Before we got to play, one person from each team had to play rock, paper, scissors, to see which team ether kicked or fielded. My team fielded fist. When the other team kicked the ball, we had to catch it, and hand pass it back to Megan, then your team will get the point. Then it was our turn to kick. I scored 3 points, but the other team won in the end.

I can't wait till this Thursday, the thing I like about Aussie Rules is playing the games. I hope this weeks game and warm ups are cool too.

Our inventions

What was the problem and how did you fix it? There was a problem at our school which were the fields, it was always muddy and we had to fix it. So we are trying to build a foot washing machine so that when we're muddy we can wash our feet. We chose this project because we are trying to make a difference about our dirty legs. We’re trying to make our fields better by putting a sign saying the fields are closed.
We
are inventing a foot washing machine because we have muddy fields and
every one has dirty feet. We’re just making a diorama to show the things
where we want to put it. When we do finish we just have to give it to
the asocial principle and he will pay the money to get all the stuff
that we need.
