The world's worst excuses...

This term we finished this amazing book called, there's a boy in the girls bathroom. This book is about a boy called Bradley that doesn't behave very good, so he is told to go to the counselor, Carla (the counselor) helps him to improve and asks him a lot of questions. How will Bradley turn out?
For our reading activity this term we had to complete a couple activities about the book. My favorite activity was the world's worst excuses. Please give me a nice positive comment! Here are two of my favorites.
Why did Bradley not do his homework?

Because my sister got mad at me because I went and smashed her homework books,
and so for payback she ripped up my book to write all the answers in.
Even if I wanted to write my homework on a piece of paper, the cat team
(that’s what they called themselves) went to the printer room and ripped up all the
paper, you could think that I would go to the shop and buy some more paper,
but it was 12 o'clock at night and the shops were not open.
You’re probably thinking that why was I awake at that time, it is because the cats,
the cat team, we're still mowling inside the house.
You would think that my Parents would wake up but actually I put earplugs in their ears.
Now you are wondering why that I did that, that is because I snore very loud.

Why did Bradley not go to the conference?

Because my mum had to go to a very important meeting with her work people.
Nope don’t change the time because my mum is at that meeting from 6 o’clock until
midnight. “What about your..”  Nope my dad is at work to he has to go to the mechanics
and is helping to fix a very important new car.
Who’s looking after me? Of course my sister, she is the best (worst) person to look
after me. Then why can’t my sister come?
Oh no my parents would hate her to drive a car, even though she’s 18 she’s crashed
the car already 10 times and my mum and dad don’t want her to do it again.
Why can’t we bike or by bus? Because we keep all our money in our safe and only
my parents know how to get into the safe.
Well bikes I am very bad at, I am even worse than my sister driving a car!
I could teach you? Now way!  Even my parents couldn’t teach me because,
they would get very frustrated and I’m sure you would do to. Luckily enough…
whoops I am late better get going! Bye!

Will Gregg the Egg survive?

Will Gregg the Egg survive?
This is Mia here for Easter fun day, and this activity was...
The egg protection tech challenge!
Mia, Nikita, and Mika have attempted to the challenge.
Gregg the Egg volunteered for a lifetime challenge,
The materials were!
5 cotton buds
1 plastic bag
5 straws
1 piece of cardboard
and three pieces of A4 paper
We have tape and scissors to use. 
These are the steps to save gregg!
First, we stretched out the five cotton buds and stuck them onto Gregg
Then, we wrapped the A4 paper around it,
Lastly, we put the plastic bag on the side like a parachute, and cut the straws and stuck them to the bottom for cushioning landing.
Our one looked like this

In the afternoon...
Gregg the egg was thrown of one of the classroom buildings by Mr Robertson our principle! We looked to see if Gregg was ok, and Yes! he was! we had saved him! and for our prize we got a big chocolate egg. Even though we had to share it, me and Nikita cracked it in half because Mika already had her own one from the hat prize! What challenged me was getting started, and making sure that you don't crack your egg. After that I got to keep Gregg, but he didn't last long. Thank you for watching my blog, please leave a comment!

Activity 1, Activity 2, Bonus activity

Activity one: Meat and three veg
dinner (2).jpg
It was common for women in the 1950s to stay home with their children and raise their family. They were called ‘housewives.’ Many housewives followed a simple rule when they prepared the evening meal: the ‘meat and three veg’ rule. This meant that they prepared dinners that included three different vegetables and a type of meat (eg. beef, lamb, or chicken).

On your blog tell us if you think that the ‘meat and three veg’ rule is a good one. Do you like the rule? Would you enjoy eating a typical 1950s dinner? Why or why not?


I do like the Idea of it, but I’m quiet used to eating rice to be honest, it is like the rule in Japan we're you have to have a main plate the onsides (on another plate) and rice with milk. I would enjoy the meal but I think that having to be able to pick how much you want of each food is nice. I normally have a plate and pick what I want from the other plates with different food on them for Dinner.

Activity 2 : What’s in the name

During the 1950s the population of New Zealand grew by 400,000 people. That is huge! In fact, so many people were having babies that many people refer to this period in our history as the ‘baby boom.’ Popular baby names in 1950s New Zealand were:

GIRLS BOYS
Christine John
Susan David
Margaret    Peter
Judith Michael
Jennifer Robert

Read through the lists. Are these popular names in your school? On your blog, tell us which names are currently popular in your school. Please provide, at least, three girls’ names and three boys’ names that are popular.

I think that these names are popular at my school.

Girls Boys
Lucy              Jacob
Chloe Toby
Bella Isaac

Bonus activity: Snail Mail

For this activity, imagine that you are living in New Zealand in the 1950s. Use Google Draw* to design the front of a postcard that you could send to a friend. Try to include elements of Kiwiana in your design (e.g. Pohutukawa trees, Hokey Pokey ice cream, etc). Post a copy of your postcard picture to your blog. Be sure to describe what you have drawn on your blog beneath the picture.

This is  my postcard that I made.

I have tried to put kiwiana by adding, pohutukawa (left) Kiwi, (bottom right) fantail (in the pohutukawa tree) and ferns. I have also put Kia ora from new Zealand because it’s welcoming.

Hope you like it!

Bonus activity: sweet tooth

Bonus Activity: Sweet tooth

My Favorite treat is cinnamon oysters, I like this treat because I absolutely love cream! So when I have it I put lots of cream inside!

Recipe: By Edmonds cookery book (old version)

2 Eggs 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
75 g sugar ½ a teaspoon of ground ginger
1 Dessert spoon
(10 ml) of Golden syrup ½ a teaspoon of Bicarb soda
50g of Flour

Beat eggs and sugar until thick. Add golden syrup, and beat again, then fold in the sifted dry ingredients. Put in small spoonfuls in greased spong oyster, or sponge finger tins. Bake for 12 minutes at 200 degrees. When cold split and fill with whipped cream, you may put icing sugar on top.
