I am proud of my self because I used revising muscle to go back and make changes to complete my learning task.  The thing that challenged me was getting the lines to the middle because you had to get it in the right spot or it would look weird.  I had to use my noticing muscle to get the task done because I had to look at were I needed to fix something up.

Matariki


Everyone in Totara Whanau has been learning about matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Year. The main thing about Matariki is that it's the 7 stars. In the Maori culture, activities are one of the main thing they do because there was no TV no computers no Ipod or Ipads there was nothing but their hands and sticks and stones. On matariki me and Totara Whanau did some thing that the Maori people do like make kite's and do cooking to celebrate Maori New year. I did cooking for the whole hub but I had other kids doing it as well and parents to help and the fellow kids. We made fri-bread and fish pie, it was a lot of fun and good experience being a chef.

Bread writing

Procedural writing.
WALT write instructions for the reader to follow
Success Criteria
Give an explanation about how the instructions will help you (introduction)
Write an equipment or ingredients list
Begin each instruction with a verb (an action word)
Use specific vocabulary
Order instructions so they are easy to follow

Introduction:
One day I got very hungry because my fat grandma ate all the bread so I made my own for me.
Did you know that in the old days the people used to use a scythe and a sickle. Also, did you know that bread is very healthy because of all the vitamins and minerals in it. Did you know that there are many different types of bread in different countries?
Ingredients
1 Tbsp white sugar
1 Tsp oil
Half  cup warm not hot water
1 third of cup of flour
1 tsp yeast

Method
Grab a bowl and carefully place the white sugar, yeast and flour and stir until it looks like flour again.
Pour in the oil and warm not hot water and stir.
Knead for approximately 1 and a half minutes.
Shape the dough into what you want.
Leave for 30 minutes to rise under a towel.
Wrap the dough in baking paper and place it in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes.


I am proud of my self because I got this writing to show the reader how to make bread mostly when I got to the verbs.
The thing that challenged me the most was the verbs because I didn't know what to do for the verbs at the start it made my brain think. I learnt what a verb was.

How to look after a broken collarbone

How to look after a broken collarbone.
Have you ever had a broken collarbone?
A collarbone is also called the clavicle that is the fancy name for it. Did you know that the collarbone is the only bone that is connected to your arm excpect if it’s muscle. Also did you know you can’t have a cast on your broken collarbone because it will hurt your broken collarbone.

Things you need for a broken collarbone
  • A sling
  • Someone willing to help you for the first couple of days until you get used to it
  • A patient patient

  1. Go to the doctors to get an x-ray to see what it looks like. If  the x-ray shows it broken this is what you do.
  2. Hold your arm very still and a doctor will give you a sling.
  3. Take some Pamol to stop it from hurting so bad.
  4. Use the arm that you didn’t break.
  5. Wait about 3 weeks you can sleep with the sling off and at the 4 week mark you can take the sling off for good.
Carefully start to play at the 2 week mark but be warned life has its consequences.

I will show you two photos one is me with a sling on and another of an x-ray of a broken collarbone.

I'm proud of my self because I persevered when learning got tough.
The thing that challenged me was to get my verbs in.
