Potato Experiment

Today my classroom and I are conducting experiments on potatoes. The experiments we are conducting are to see if a potato will not grow without light

My hypothesis is that without light and soil it will not grow.

Overnight (Update)

I know, I know. I haven't uploaded anything on my blog relating to Overnight I've been busy ...... and bored this past 2 months and I really didn't want to do anything unless I had to. Anyway sorry for not doing this, even though I'm sure nobody's interested in this.

(Story Start)

BOOOM! A door shuddered as a figure burst through, he had been running for 15 minutes now, he stopped hoping, praying, that the thing that was following him had stopped the chase. He was sure he had seen that thing before, he was sure, but..... but all that could come to mind was his deceased friend.

‘If only...’ Shaking his head, he slapped himself ‘No, no bad Jacob, stop getting depressed’  Jacob had only been 8 when the incident happened, so it had been a bad time for him and the rest of the crew. Jacob’s thoughts came to a halt as a shadow flickered passed, he had just barely registered it. Jacob nodded to himself, albeit fearfully and slowly prepared to break out in a full sprint.

He slowly made his way down the school’s empty -abandoned- hallway, glancing frantically left and right. Jacob found himself in the school’s hall, looking up he saw a sign, he could barely make out what it said. ‘Looks like directions, wish I hadn’t dropped my glasses’  - while running from the thing he had tripped and dropped his glasses. ‘Great, now what?’ Jacob thought sarcastically, walking closer to the sign

To Be Continued (More Coming... Hopefully)

(Story Cliffhanger)

Seriously though I haven't done anything on this so I'm just updating it.

Anyway, in summary (sorry it's so short >.<) we learnt new things and got to eat plants that were given, we also learnt about each plant.

The End,

Making Bread

Bread is made from different ingredients. These ingredients are sugar, milk, butter, olive oil, rapid yeast, salt ,flour and milk.

First, combine the flour, yeast and sugar in a large bowl. Then stir in salt and then make a well in the centre and put warm milk and butter.

Then, stir the mixture until made into dough.

Next, use your hands to bring the dough together in the bowl. Soon after that turn the dough onto a light surface and knead it until the dough is smooth and elastic.

After that, brush a large bowl with olive oil to grease. Then place the dough into the bowl and cover it with a damp tea towel and set it aside in a warm, draught-free place to settle for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until the dough has double sized.

Then, knead the centre of the dough with your fist. After that turn the dough onto a lightly floured place and then knead for two minutes or until the dough is elastic and has turned to it’s original size. Once it has turned to its original size, it is ready to bake.

Next, put the dough into a loaf pan and place it into a preheated 200 °C oven for about 35 minutes. When the bread is fully baked , it will sound “hollow” when it is  tapped with the finger. It will easily fall out of the loaf pan. It is now time to set the loaf of bread aside to cool down.

The yummy loaf of bread is now ready to share with your family.

My Week-End

My Week-End

Last weekend I woke up and went into my room and I just sat in my room playing games like Saints row 4(A Shooter), Grand Theft Auto 5(A Shooter) and Crysis 3(A Shooter) . Then I played on my computer and just looked at video’s for about an hour. After a while my nephew called me on Skype and we played Minecraft (a popular building game) for about 6 hours.

After that we switched games and we played Grand Theft Auto 5 online together. We had just got new clothes, repaired our cars, flew planes and killed each other. After all of that my nephew and I got tired so we both went to sleep.

On Sunday, I woke up all messy and went to my computer to see if my nephew was online so we could play, but sadly he wasn’t on so I just watched video’s while I was waiting for him for about 3 hours. Finally my nephew got online so I called him on Skype and I played with him on Gta 5 Online and Minecraft for most of the day.

Next he logged off his computer so I went to play on my trampoline and I did some back-flips. Once I got bored I laid down for about 1 minute before I had to go and have dinner. After that I went to my small bed and watched  TV for about 2 hours.  Then fell into a nice deep sleep.

Taste Buds

WALT Create acrostic poems

The taste on your tongue when you eat something yum

Always helping you with the joy of the day just keep on eating no matter what they say

Sweet heat makes you blush all day long no matter what!  

Tasting everything in your sight don’t eat too much or you might have your doubts  

Eating healthy every day of the year don’t eat your sprouts or you might have your doubts

Biting your food will help you taste come on and bite again

Uses a lot of saliva to taste

Drives you crazy when you eat something sour

Sour power makes you crazy eat something sweet when you've gone too crazy

A Article Review on A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry

A Passion For Ponies by Donna Cherry.

WALT:  review the story we read

This article is about a girl named Chelsea who loved her pony named Teddy. After school Chelsea ran home quickly so she could groom and play with Teddy. Chelsea had a friend named Sarah and she had a pony too. They would play together a lot and groom their ponies together.

Sarah also helped Chelsea groom her pony. Chelsea and Sarah also cleaned up their ponies droppings which looked like small mountains. Sarah loved her pony as much as Chelsea loved Teddy. At the end of the day Chelsea put a warm coat on Teddy so he could be warm and toasty.

If I had a pony I would do the same things that Chelsea and Sarah did I would be as dedicated as they were. I liked the bit about the droppings. It was really funny.
