Three brothers and the Polar bear

 Three brothers and the Polar bear

In the cold cold ice land of the Antarctic where seals hunt fish and polar bears hunt seals and people hunt polar bears and sometimes just sometimes polar bears hunt people. Once there were three brothers, and after they finished school they chose to travel to learn their chosen subject. The first brother learnt about skeletons and how to put them together, he became the bone expert, the second brother learnt how to put meat, vanes, flesh and fer on a skeleton with magic he became the corps maker, the third brother learnt how to bring life back into the dead he became the life giver. One day the three brothers were walking home after training, when they saw a pile of bones, “look what I can do” said the first brother, and he began to put the bones together to form a Polar Bear skeleton, “well look what I can do” said the second brother, and he put meat, flesh vanes and fer on to the Polar Bear skeleton leaving a dead Polar Bear on the icy ground, “pretty good” said the third brother “but look what I can do” and he began to breathe life into the dead Polar Bear. The eyes of the Polar bear opined, the heart of the Polar bear started beating and the chest began to move up and down, and stared at the three brothers with hungry eyes, the brothers ran and ran but the Polar bear was too fast, one by one the brothers got torn apart. Their soles floated away and went to a man on the icy island of No go there. The man said to the first brother  “do you wish to go to heaven or hell” and showed images of heaven, everyone was laughing and using huge forks and eating and passing around the food and taking advantage of the huge forks, and the image of hell, the people of hell could not eat anything with their huge forks, they all fought over food and all were very skinny. 

“ what will it be, heaven or hell?” 

“Heaven, obviously” and the first brother got sent to hell. Now the second brother was up   “do you wish to go to heaven or hell” and showed the images of heaven and hell, “well who would choose hell, heaven obviously” and the second brother got sent to hell as well. The third brother was up  “do you wish to go to heaven or hell” and again showed the images of heaven and hell once again, “I shall go to hell as I am the one who brought the Polar bear to life” and the third brother got sent to heaven. As for the Polar bear, he was swimming away happily with a full tummy.

Why we should wear a uniform to school.

                  

I am team yes and my points are,

•  A uniform will represent your school. 

• If you didn't have on trend clothes you could get bullied.

• If you were in an accident after or before school people could identify you and contact the school.

• Teachers don’t need to worry about kids wearing inappropriate clothes to school.

• You don’t need to choose your clothes every morning.

Do you want to take 20 minutes to get dressed in the morning before school   Kia ora my name is Luna and I would like to tell you about why we should wear a uniform to school.  Let's start with my first point,  a uniform will represent your school, when you go out on a school trip and if you behave beautifully, people might know what school you come from, and say to people that our school is a good school. 

Now for my second point, If you didn't have on trend clothes you could get bullied, the reason you might get bullied is because you might have on trend clothes, on trend clothes are an important part of looking cool and being popular, and you might get bullied if you had old and dirty clothes. 

Now for my third point, If you were in an accident after or before school people could identify you and contact the school, if you get in an accident or get up to mischief people around you will know what school you come from and contact the school. 

Now the fourth point, teachers don’t need to worry about kids wearing inappropriate clothes to school, this is one of the biggest reasons I think we should wear a uniform, and I think that if kids wear what they want some kids might choose to wear inappropriate clothes. 

And finally for my last point, you don’t need to choose your clothes every morning, do you want to be stuck choosing your clothes every morning? Well I don’t want to be choosing my clothes for 20 minutes, So this is why I have this point. 

Are you team yes or no?

Sitting on the Fence

 Sitting on the Fence

Sitting on the Fence is the reading book that my group and I are reading, it  is about a boy named Martin and the story is about what happened in 1981(the Springbok tour) and about Martin fighting for he believes is the right thing to do, which is to stop the tour.

 what I thought reading this story was "why did they try to stop the tour?" well I looked that up that question and and it came up with this, The conflict within New Zealand over sporting contacts with apartheid South Africa reached a peak in the protests against the 1981 Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand.

 Because it was three days after police had used batons against protesters in Molesworth Street, Wellington, feelings ran high.

 I don't know if that tells you what you need to know, but I hope you liked my blog post an thank you for reading!

The Winter Holiday☃️

In the two weeks that we had in the Holiday I have been to Nelson to go and see my dads friend. 

Her name is Kathy and we went there to tint the windows in her new van.

 We stayed there for two nights. 

The first thing we did in the second day we went to the Center of New Zealand, it was tiring, but the view was amazing. 

On the day we left Nelson we went to Hamana springs, we had the Family Fun Day that was for $90.

 We had so much fun, and my sister and I  got on the new slide (Conical Thrill) It was so fun and I would like to go again.

 The day after we came back home we had a sleep over with Reka, Rua and Sari (A girl that is staying with the Harvey's for a couple of years) We went to go eat some white rice and sausages at 12:45 am, because we got so hungry!

I couldn't go to sleep for the whole night and I was very tired the next day.

Reka, Rua and Sari went home at 11:30 am, and they invited us to the pool for Cross Country (the muscles that you use for swimming are the same muscles that you use for running).

Me and Reke were practicing the most, but then a big group of girls came and started to get in the way (you're meant  to move if some one is practicing or is they are in the lanes swimming)

But over all I had a good holiday.

Japan

For inquiry we have done country study and I have made a slide hope you enjoy.

Mirrors

Mirrors

Reflections. Reflections of you and the things behind you. Everything you see in the mirrors are not as it seems. This story starts with a little girl with her favorite mirror in her room, her name is Penny she is 5years old, she has a mum and a dad, and as  I said she has a favorite mirror in her room. One day Penny when outside to go play in her playground in her backyard, yes her parents are rich and Penny is spoiled like no other child, any way back to the story, she went to her playground and started to play, but she heard a voice and it said “Penny, Penny come on, lets play with the mirrors” so Penny went inside to go look for the vice. She went to the mirror in her room to look at her very expensive pink dress, and she heard the voice again, but this time it sounded like it was right in front of her. She touched the mirror and said “dad is that you, GET OUT OF MY MIRROR!!” the all of a suben the mirror shattered in her face. She woke up in a hospital, the doctor told her to not move and that she was in critical condition. She looked down at her legs and saw she had pieces of glass in her leg she was bleeding all over. The doctor said, she went to touch her face and she felt glass in her face, and when she looked at her hand she saw blood, red thick blood. After a couple of months and 5 surgeries she finally went home, but when she went to her room she saw the mirror and it wasn't shattered at all. She asked her mum if they baguette her another one, they said “No honey we didn't, it was  fine and we didn't want to waste money” normally Penny would get mad but she was fine with it and was a good girl for the rest of her life.

How to make a Mocha pots.

I will be teaching you how to make a Mocha pots.  

1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 2 mins, stirring halfway through, or over a pan of gently simmering water. Leave to cool a little.
2. Using an electric whisk, whip the double cream with the vanilla in a bowl until lightly whipped. Fold in the cooled, melted chocolate until fully combined.
3. Split the mixture between four small bowls or ramekins and serve topped with a dollop of crème fraîche. If you aren’t serving straight away, chill in the fridge and then add the crème fraîche just before bringing to the table.
4. This method takes 7min in, and serves 4 people. It is easy. I hope you like my blog post:)

Japanese cheese cake.

This is a serving for 40 people.

1. Line the inside of your cake pan with parchment paper. To properly line your cake pan, cut a circle that will fit the bottom of the pan and a long strip that covers the rest of the inside of the pan. Spray the inside of your cake pan with a cooking oil spray before lining with the parchment paper pieces so that the parchment paper stays in place.

2. Separate your eggs. Keep the egg whites in the fridge until ready to use. Make sure your egg whites do not touch any oil, water or other ingredients or they will not whip to a meringue state if contaminated.

3. Melt chocolate either over the stove or the microwave. For the stove you can use a double boiler, or melt the chocolate in a large glass bowl sitting on top of a simmering small pot of water. For the microwave method, microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

4. Add in the cream cheese and whisk until smooth. If your cream cheese is still too hard, soften slightly in microwave. Make sure your batter is completely smooth before adding in the egg yolks. Add in the egg yolks and whisk until smooth.

5. Beat your egg whites on high speed with an electric mixer until glossy, stiff peaks form. Make sure they are stiff peaks and not just soft peaks (The tips of the peaks should stand straight up rather than fold over. Check out this reference guide). This is key to keeping your cake from collapsing.

6. Add one third of the egg whites to your yellow batter. Gently fold in the egg whites with a spatula until just incorporated and there are no large lumps or large white streaks. Fold in another one-third. Fold in the final one-third.

7. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.

8. Add 1 1/2 cups of water to your Instant Pot. Place the trivet that came with the pot inside. Place your cake pan directly on top of the trivet, so that it should not touch the water.

9. Seal your Instant Pot. Set to manual, high pressure, for 17 minutes. Allow the cake to naturally release as it will continue to cook and set during the natural release.

10. Once the natural release is finished, carefully remove cake from pan. For best tasting results, refrigerate for several hours as it will allow the cheese flavor to more fully develop. However, the cake can be eaten right away but it will have a more eggy souffle-like taste. This is normal for Japanese-style cheesecakes. You cake will also shrink as it cools, but it should not collapse. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
