Christmas Countdown Recipe.

This week I have been making a recipe for a thing we are doing called Christmas Countdown and I did a recipe for the reindeers. I made a Christmas Milkshake Delight and Christmas Sundae. It was really hard to make the recipes because I couldn't think of that many things to put in it. My favourite recipe that I did is the Christmas Sundae.

Term 4 Whetu Survivor Rotation.

 Cooking 

This term we have been doing survivor rotations and one of them was cooking, we had to make a slide that has a recipe on something you can cook in the wild. Today we actually cooked two things baked potato and a banana dessert. my favorite part was probably making the banana dessert. The hardest part was wrapping the food in tinfoil. 

Fabulous finish term 4 CC

This is my fabulous finish. I did Patty from the story we read called Ghost. Patty's actual name is Patina. Patty's Mum has no legs so she put Patty and Patty's little sister up for adoption. Patty is really nice and has nice friends. I really liked making patty because I think It really turned out great because I took my time and tried hard to make it my best.

Bush shelter survival

What is the S.T.O.P  acronym 

1. Stop what you are doing.

2. Think about what you are going to do.

3. Observe everything around you.

4. Plan your next move and how your gonna survive.

Finding fresh water.
In the wilderness, water is very important to have so you stay hydrated.

1. Dig somewhere wet - there will be a good chance that
there will be water.

2. Find a river or a lake- you can boil the water in the sun.

3. Catch some water from the rain - you can get a lot of rainwater
very quickly when it rains.

Shelter. 
Shelter is one of the key things to have in the wild.

1. Build on high ground - just encase someone sends people looking for you.

2. Build near water - if you build near water you will have a easy water source.

3. Build on flat ground - you don't want to roll down a hill in your sleep.

 How to start a fire.
Fire is good to have in the wild because it can make you warm
and it can cook your food.

1. Gather a lot of wood - just in case your wood runs out.

2. Have a shovel with you - so you can put dirt over the fire if it gets to wild and if you run out of
the water to put the fire out.

3. Make sure you have water - so you can put the fire out if it goes wild.

Basic first aid.

1. Bandages - just if you get a cut or start bleeding.

2. Bug repellent - there are a lot of bugs in the wild and the bugs don't like bug repellent

3. Medicine - just in case you are allergic to something in the wild.

Signal for help. 

1. Signal using smoke and fire - People will see the smoke and think your stuck or in
danger.

2. S.O.S Signal - SOS means to save our souls and if someone sees it they will try to
find you.

3. Flare gun - these are sort of loud and someone might hear it and come to rescue you.

Clove Hitch

This knot is the clove hitch. This knot can be used as a binding knot and pulling chairs. This knot is easy and quick. I like this knot because it is easy and quick. I give this knot a 1/5 because it's really easy. This knot is really cool and quick. This knot is cool because it looks like a cross.

Figure Eight Knot.

This knot is called a figure-eight knot. This knot is good for mountain climbers. This knot is very hard to make. I give this knot a 2/5 because it's really hard. I like this knot because it makes an eight if you do it right.

Reef Knot

This week for our survivor we mastered 3 knots.

This is a reef knot it was hard at first but then when you have tied it once it's really easy to tie. Reef knots are good for moving things. I really like this knot because it is easy when you have tied it once. I would give it a 3/5 because it is hard at first. This knot is really fun to make.

Pick'n Mix CC W5 T4

For my Chapter Chat, I did a shoplifting poster. Ghost stole the shoes because they felt so good on his feet but they were so expensive so he put them in his bag and put the lid on the box that the shoes were in. When he got out of the store he ran fast because he thought there might be people looking for him. a little bit later in the story Coach, Brody went to grab the uniforms from the same shop and there was a piece of paper on the wall and it had Ghost on it and under the photo of Ghost it said "Shoplifter."

Putting up a tent!!!

Putting up the tent was way easier than taking it down. I liked how we worked as a team and helped each other out. The hardest part was taking down the tent. The easiest part was getting the photo taken. My favourite thing about when we built it is that we all helped each other and worked as a team!!!

Kaka tent ideas

The first tent we are aiming to create is called the A-frame. 
An A-frame is a structure where you use 2 sturdy trees to help your structure stand. 
The benefits of this tent is that it is quick and easy to build.
It is also waterproof, even when it’s pouring down hard, this tent will stay up and protect you. 
We chose this structure because it’s simple and looks sturdy.
We also chose this structure because we think it’ll be fun to work as a team and create the A-frame.   

                          

The second structure our team will be creating is called the lean-to.
The lean-to is a structure where you pitch a tent between two strong trees.
  The lean-to specializes in keeping wind out. You put one long side the way the wind is blowing.
It is also good when your building a fire because you can build it closer to you so the wind can't blow
it out.  As a team we chose this structure because it can keep the wind out and most of all
because it looked cool.

Away with words CC W4 T4

Chapter Chat

For Chapter Chat I did Away With Words and I made an acrostic poem with Ghost's name. for the G I put Great at running because he's very good at running. For the H I put Horrid past because of his Dad trying to shoot him and his Mum. For the O I put Official shoplifter because he stole the shoes from "everything sports". For the S I put So super sporty because he is really sporty. for the T I put Tremendously fast because Ghost is so so so fast.

Shelter Building

   Shelter Building

 Try to build on a flat but high surface.
 Build on dry ground.
 Try and build near water.
 Choose a spot close to trees.
 You can make a shelter under fallen trees.
You should try to build on high ground so it's easy for a search party to find you.
Try and build on the dry ground so you won't get cold.
Try and build near water so you can get an easy water source.
You can build an A-frame with just two sticks about 4 feet long and one stick about 11 feet long.
The shelter should protect you from water.
You can use sticks, leaves, fallen trees.
the best place to build a shelter is near water, high ground, dry ground, and flat ground. 

          Good places to build:

• Flat ground.
• High ground.
• Near water. 
• Dry ground.
• By some trees.

Pros:

protection.

shelter.

easy to make.

Con:

Easy brake.

It does not provide elevation.

Cold.

Chapter Chat week 3 term 4 Research Centre

             This is a LINK to my Chapter Chat. For Chapter Chat I did Research Centre and I researched about sunflower seeds. It was really fun because I didn't know much about sunflower seeds and now I do. Ghost always gets sunflower seeds from Mr. Charles.

Chapter Chat week 2 term 4 creation station.

This is my Chapter Chat for week 2. I did Creation Station and I drew Ghost's old shoes and the new ones that he stole from a store. Ghost old shoes used to be high tops but he cut them so he would be able to run quicker. Ghost stole the shoes from a sports shop because they were so expensive. I liked making the new shoe because I made little spikes on the bottom.   

My Calendar Art!!!

This is my calendar art. I did an underwater scene, I put three Turtles, a lot of Fish, some seaweed and coral. The colors of the fish are, red, blue, pink, green and purple. I like the Turles the most because their backs look very cool. It was very hard to make all the fish and color the background. 

Week 1 Term 4 Chapter Chat Digital Design

For my Chapter Chat this week, I did Digital Design. For Digital Design, I did the Defenders flag. The Defenders are a track team in the book we are reading, called Ghost. I got a picture of a track and got people and put them on. Then I made a badge and in little words it has a track team on it, and a person running. It was very hard to make the people on the track the perfect size because I kept making them to big and to small. I liked making the colors of the flag because it looks really cool now.

Fabulous Finish

This is my Fabulous Finish. I did the Warden from holes and She has a pocket that has her Snake Venom nail polish that she scratched Mr.Sir across the face with. The Warden is saying In her head "find the treasure". Up the top by where it says Warden, It also say "Excuse me!" because the Warden always says it when you talk back to her. I put the holes because theres a lot of holes everywhere

Chapter chat creation station

For my Chapter Chat, I did a creation station and I made sploosh. I made sploosh because Kate Barlow is famous for her spiced peaches and they are also called sploosh.

Chapter Chat Vocab Challenge

This is a link to my Chapter Chat. The words are Parched, Systematic, Protruding, Increments, And Precipice. Parched is a good word for when the boys are digging a hole because they would be Parched (Thirsty) If they drank all there water. Protruding is a good word to use because zero sticks out because he can't read and also the orange jumpsuits stick out 'cause they are orange.

Chapter Chat Week 4 Away with Words.

This is my Chapter Chat and I did Away with words. I did Stanley's diary.

Chapter Chat EVIL makeup

This is my Chapter Chat I did digital design and did four makeup products and a

makeup brush.

Chapter chat Creation station

This week I did a creation of the WRECK room before and after.

First I did a pool table one that is perfect and fine and the other has balls that are cracked. I also did a couch there is one that is all fine and not broken the other one has two BIG rips. One tv is fine not scratched nor dirty on the other side the tv is cracked and fell on the floor. Then the last things are the chairs one with fine lines and the other with a hole in the middle. I did it because in the story it said that they had a Wreck room and there were chairs that had three legs and a couch that Stanley was pulling fluff out of so I put a couch with rips in it.

Chapter chat week 1 term 3 Research centre

my research centure water cycle

this is my link to my water cycle research 

My chapter chat for week 1

This is Ally I made her for my digital design from the book we are reading called Fish in a tree it was really hard because I had to use my imagination to create her because the book didn't really tell us what she looks like so I had to figure out what I think she looks like. I think Ally looks like this because the card she gave her teacher and it had yellow on the outside and some beautiful flowers so I think that Ally likes yellow so I put a yellow sweater on her and yellow glasses and she's looking up at her teacher. 

fabulous finish.

This is my fabulous finish for my book buzz it took a while I made this with Lauren and  Owen. Lauren and I had to do most of it because on Friday Owen left and we had Camp on Monday to Wednesday and Owen is still not here Lauren and I did most of it so we did a joke on the side and We did lots of pockets and it took so long to make.

 finally made it. So this is the final one it took some time to do but I finally finished. I love the final results hope you like it.

Rhino thief

As I walked into the zoo I saw the Rhino was gone! So I looked around for any clues then I saw something it was a phone number so I called the phone number and someone picked up. So I asked if they have seen a Rhino? they said "yes" so I said "oh good where did you see the Rhino last?" they said "in the carnival" and then I Thanked them and headed to the carnival but the Rhino was all the way at the other side of the carnival! So I had to dodge a lot of people and then I had to get passed some caramel sauce someone spilled all over the floor which made my shoes sticky. but at least the caramel sauce did not go on my face. then I had cotton candy on my face, but the good thing is that I caught the rhino and got the horrible person that stole the Rhino arrested.

dream

My biggest dream would have to be being able to sing in front of a big crowd and become a famous singer. I love singing I've always loved to sing if I could only have one talent and passion they would be singing. Owen and I made a song in Whenua called born to sing and we wanted to sing it in front of the whole school but we didn't  get to.

I also chose this because the classroom theme is bees so I put the beehive there.
so I put the bees there because their friends and we make friends

5 in the Hive

                                 This certificate is from growing up in NewZealand it says, Young Scientist This is to certify that Isabella has provided scientific information to help Growing up in New Zealand understand what it is like to be growing up in New Zealand today. Thank you so much - We couldn't do this without your help

                                    Date 21.9.17 I chose this because  I love to do Gymnastics

      

                                                        I put this photo in my five in the hive bag because this is Michael and me at Tui's nest                                                                when we did a Christmas show

Tamzins stuff was interesting because I did not know she had a guitar I thought hers was interesting because she likes drawing, music, animals and I think it was reading

Inspiring quote

 

I chose this quote because people limit their challenges but that won't do anything.

so what I think is that if you challenge your limits you can do anything you will be unstoppable.  

Because if I said "oh I'm just going to limit my challenges my limit will be hmm climbing on rocks" that would not be fun cause then you would probably see other people climbing on rock and you are just sitting bored on the grass or anywhere else but not on the rocks.     

 So sometimes when you limit your challenge it won't be fun so what I am trying to say is challenge your limits   

letter
