ANZAC Biscuits

Yesterday I made ANZAC biscuits.  First we had to get the ingredients.  Then follow the recipe and add the dry ingredients into a mixing  bowl.  Then I had to put golden syrup and butter in a pot. Then I had to add the dry ingredients in to the butter and golden syrup.  Then I put the ANZAC biscuits in the oven.







                                                                This is me mixing.

                          This is what the ANZAC biscuits looked like after they were cooked.

Blue Penguin Footprints

Today when we went for a walk on the beach we found some footprints.  We took a photo of the footprints. The footprints were leading to the water and we thought they might be penguin prints. When we went home we searched up penguin footprints and they were the same as the photo we took. These are the footprints.

Invisible Ball

This is my invisible ball no one can see the stuff inside the ball. If you need to hide stuff you can hide it in the invisible ball.  If you need to hide presents, pets, clothes, treasure and people,it can be very useful.

Asthma

Today someone called Chris came in and told us about asthma and how we get it.  We get asthma from lots of different things like the cold, dust mites, germs and from pets.  He also told us how to stop getting it by  washing our hands for 20 seconds and making sure there are lots of bubbles in the soap. This is Chris holding up a dust mite.

Maths

For maths we made different shapes out of string.  Everyone at our table had to have at least one hand on the string.  We made a square, triangle, rectangle and a star. The star was the hardest one.  Everyone at my table had to use two hands to get the star. It was fun because we got to use string.
