Japanese Drumming

Every Sunday evening my Japanese friends and I go to Takumi (a Japanese drumming group). I joined this group this year and I am so glad I did! We have many performances but I am only Year 1 so I can't do any in front of crowds yet. When I first started I got really nervous but now I only feel excitement when I'm going. 
One of the biggest events that we preform in is Japan day. Japan day is were Japanese people from all over Canterbury come together to celebrate our traditions, one of those traditions is Japanese drumming. 
This is what the drums look like :

Four Leaf Clover Part 2🍀

 Kia ora,  yesterday my mum and I went on a walk, we were looking for four leaf clovers and I found not 1, but 2 four leaf clovers! My mum didn't find any but she found a three leaf clover with a heart in it, and I think that is just as lucky! 

Here are some photos of the clovers : 


This one is the smaller one that I have found.

This one is the larger one that I found.


This one is the one that my mum found, can you see the little heart?


Have a nice day and stay safe!

Lemon Tart

 Kia ora, yesterday I made some Lemon Tarts! They tasted pretty good and I was happy with the way it looked. My only problem was the pastry, it tasted nice but the texture wasn't that great. I think is was because I used gluten free flower, next time make them I will use plain flower. 

Here are some photos : 



Have a nice day and stay safe!

Vanilla Cake🍰

 Kia ora, for Act of Kindness day I have made a cake. I really enjoyed making, but! It did not turn out the way I wanted it to. It was too sweet and that resulted in it not tasting great..... 

I have some photos of the cake, and you could tell that is would taste really sweet just by looking at it. Here they are :


It is a Vanilla Cake with Butter Cream.

Have a nice day and stay safe!

Tupou Neiufi

 Kia ora today I have decided to make a blog post about Tupou Neiufi. She is an incredible Paralympian. 

I have a growing respect for all Paraplympians. Their mental is so strong; they believe they can do anything, and that can be really hard sometimes, for people with disabilities and people without disabilities. 

I really hope you like it!

    

Watching the Paralympics has been really inspiring for me, If they can do anything so can I and so can you.

Banana Bread🍌🍞

 Kia ora, today I have made some gluten free banana bread with my Mum. I love banana bread, and I am so happy with the result. My favourite part is the scaly design on the top of the loaf. It tastes great, so if you want to make it at home here is the recipe : 

1 . 2 ripe bananas (mash until smooth)

2 . 1 tsp baking soda 

Mix these two ingredients in a bowl and sit for 2 mins.

1 . 1 cup gluten free flour (or any flour of your choice)

2 . 1/2 tsp baking powder

3 . 1/2 tsp cinnamon

4 . 1 tsp vanilla extract

5 . 1/4 tsp salt

6 . 1/4 cup sugar

7 . 1 egg

Mix these ingredients together then mix with the mixture of smashed bananas

After you gave done that add 1 cup of milk (or any milk of your choice, I put in almond milk).

Mix all of these ingredients together until it becomes the texture of pancake mixture. Put it in to a baking tin and set the oven to 170°, leave it in the oven for 40 mins (depending on the size of your batch).

Take it out of the oven and you are done!!


Here are some photos of my banana bread :

In another life

 ã“んにちは, Our Learning Intention this week was to deepen our understanding of descriptive language by creating feelings for our reader, such as empathy. We also looked into the effects of short sentences.

Trinity and I made this amazing story together! Please go check out Trinity's blog too! Just click https://gpstrinity.blogspot.com/

My heart breaks as I walk into the cold room. I see him on the table. I bend over to give him his favorite toy. I felt my knees get weak, as I saw him lying there, nearly lifeless. I can't help but burst into tears. I hear Marley crying and it breaks my heart even more. I feel colorless. I get on my knees to pray that he will live to see another day. I start to have flashbacks to the first time we played fetch. I remember that he never gave me back the bone, and ran as fast as his little legs could go, so that I could never catch him. I wish I could protect him from his fate. I feel so helpless. The nurse comes in with a needle, I want to take it from her hands, so I could have more time with my great dog. I told him that I loved him, one last time, as the nurse injected him with the end of his life. ¨I love you Marley, we will meet again in another life¨

Skydiving

I look out of the small window on the right side of the plane, I´m strapped on to the instructor and the pilot signals that it was OK to make the jump, I open the door of the plane but I can´t move my feet. It felt like someone had super glued my feet to the cold metal floor. When I was about to say that I did´t want to go, but the instructor had kicked off and we started to fall through the lonely blue sky. I felt the wind pushing against my trembling body, the wind was so strong that it felt like I was being pushed around by one thousand people at once. We were falling through the sky so fast I couldn't breathe properly. When the instructor tried to free the parachute it got stuck, they tried and tried but is was no use. I knew that this was how I would end, I knew that I would haunt the people that are daring enough to make the dreaded jump.
