Muesli week 5

 

Today we made muesli that we have been planning to do for the last 3 fridays while the year 7’s were at tech. Me and Milla worked in a pair and made a big batch of muesli with oats, crushed up wheat bix, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, marshmallows and dried mangos.

The week before we made the muesli we planned what we had to bring in to class and what we wanted to make the muesli with.

Everyone bought things in to make the muesli but when we got to making it everyone just put anything they could find and wanted it was really fun and everyone enjoyed it I hope we get to do things like that again.

Diya

 

Kia ora this term we have been making diyas. A diya is made from clay ghee or oil, After you shape it let it dry and then paint it. The first diya I made cracked and broke while I was painting it, I then had to get more clay to make a new one. The paint dryed quite fast on our diyas which was good because then we can add more layers and designs. The clay takes a long time to dry maybe 1-2 days you can tell it is dry when it turns white. Making these diyas were fun apart from watching people paint theres while you are waiting for yours to dry.

Diwali - Fly me up summary

 

Kia ora, today I did my fly me up summary. On our class site, one of our tasks was to read an article called fly me up and then fill out a summary. The article was about a lady called Tiffany that travelled the world to all the places that celebrate diwali and to learn how different people celebrate it. In my summary I put how many people dont wish to be rich, have alot of friends and be popular like many people would, they wish to have a family that sticks together and be warm and to have good spirits around them.

Rangoli pattern

 

Kia ora for the past couple of weeks our class has been working around Diwali. A part of Diwali is the rangoli pattern, which is a pattern made of brightly coloured sand put into a pattern on the ground. Rangoli patterns are designed as a gesture to welcome Goddess Lakshmi.

Quatrain poems

 

Scary sally liked to ride bikes,

Scary sally only rode trykes,

One day a girl came up to her on a scooter,

Scary Sally decided to boot her..

In 2019 it all began...

Covid commenced because of a bat,

It may be the worst yet,

Next it may be a cat.
