HOBO STOVES.

Last week we cooked pikelets.  We cooked the pikelets on hobo stoves outside our class on the grass.  First of all we got the ingredients and made the pikelet mix then we made butter and then we shaped it.  After that we got twigs and sticks and made the fire and we put it underneath the hobo stoves.  Finally we put the pikelet mix on the stove then waited then flipped it.   Then my one was finished.   It was yum!  I made three pikelets.

3. The fantail's Maori name is piwakawaka.
4. Tantails can eat insects when they are flying in the air.

BOOK WEEK

We have book week to encourage children to read books and to use the library.
During the week we did a Stop Drop and Read every day.  Other teachers came and read to us.
On parade day we all dressed up in our Book Character costumes and paraded around the town.
We thank Becky for organizing it for us.

Cool costumes.

 TREASURE ISLAND 

This story starts in the Admiral Benbow, an inn. Jim Hawkins (played by Quin) works there. Billy Bones (played by Shanti ) comes to stay. He has a map. He was once a pirate, a member of Captain Flint's crew. He is visited by Black Dog (Stevie )who fights him. Then the evil Blind Pew (Sasha ) comes and scares him to death.

Jim gets the map . He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (Charley) Squire Trelawney ( Sarah), Mr Dance ( Shannen) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollett (Makayla ) who gets Long John Silver (Madison ) to collect a crew. He is evil and one of Captain Flint's  pirates. He collects all the other pirates and away they sail.  On the trip Jim hears of a plot to kill them.

When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade . The baddies go in search of the treasure . An old pirate called Ben Gunn ( Zion) who has been marooned , arrives and joins the goodies . Jim takes off and sails the ship around the island. The pirates have nowhere to go. There's a big fight. The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn whom they think is a ghost of Captain  Flint. Ben screams horribly..

They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England

My favourite part in the show was all of it.

My favourite character was Long John Silver.

My part in the show was when I was dancing.

I thought the whole show was good.

We should thank Smiddey the producer.

volcanos!

When the two plates push together they sometimes form volacno's this is because the pressure form cracks, and the magma flows through it.

Deep within the earth, rock is so hot that it melts to become a sticky subtance called magma. When magma is pressurised it is forced up to the earths suface and pushers up trough the vents.

At the center of the earth is a solid metal core, wicth is surround by an outer core of liquid metal around this is a layer of hot rock called the mantle the surface is broken up into large pieces called tectonic plates.

                                    OUR ENVIROMENTAL PROJECT.

We made the signs so that we could warn people to watch where they are walking.
My part was when I painted the sign. My sign had Don't chase the birds.
We went to the Kumaras and we played a game and got some treats.
