Matariki day

Matariki

(workshops cooking)

On Tuesday 17th of June  we had a celebration for the stars of Matariki. We got to learn about maori for a day.   There were workshops set up for us, there was rakau, making a  Poi, weaving and also maori games. My favourite thing of all was cooking.

                                                               

We had to to put flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and then we cooked it. When they were in the oven we looked inside the oven, they look like fish to me but it was  fried bread.  Sounds nice I thought to myself.

When they were out of the oven we got to eat them. There was golden syrup, butter and raspberry jam that you could put on them. I put on golden syrup and butter on mine.  It was really nice. Then I tried jam, I thought the butter one was better.

The Mystery That Nobody Solved

   THE
    MYSTERY

               THAT

                   NOBODY

                       SOLVED

My idea of the picture is that in the past there was a family living in a forest when they left strange things begin to happen who is doing it and why?

This story is a little bit scary so what age should it be for?

The story is about a family that are called the Herricks

they  moved into  the city but left Isaiah just in the bush and a huge house called the Herricks house. when Isaiah walked into the house and discover secrets but not only secrets but a 12 year old drama queen to help him on the way.

I chose the title the mystery that nobody solved because I just think it grabs the reders eye and also it sounds really intresting.  Next time when I do this I think I should position it bit more tidery and not all over the place here is a piture of it.

I think a good age for this book is 7 and over just because it can be scary.  This story is about a family that lived in the herricks house and left they also left a boy in the bush but what does he discover.

Hockey skills (Blocking)

Hockey skills

What is hockey?  Hockey is a sport that is played in the winter.  You can play it on fields ,turf or even ice.  It is played with a candy cane shaped stick  and also a small  hard ball. There has to be at least 11 people on the field at a time.  You also want to wear safety gear like mouth guards and shoes  just in case you lose your teeth on the way, or if the ball rolls onto your feet.

Blocking is a type of skill that you use in hockey.   Blocking is stopping the ball and controlling it.  It also helps when you need to strike the ball.  But at all time you need your eyes on the ball to know where the ball is going of course.

Firstly, to block you need to stand straight on and have the hockey stick facing the flat side.  You have to remember to  always  hit the flat side facing the way where the ball is.  

Secondly,  you need to have your body behind the stick.  This also means that the stick needs to be below the waist.  You have to have one hand down where the grip ends and one hand up the top where the grip starts.  Also you have to have your body behind the stick.

You need to give a little that means  when the ball is coming to you , you  need to move the stick back as well as moving your body back so the ball loses some force well it is coming towards you.

Finally, keep your eye on the ball this is the most important thing is to do because if you don’t you could miss the ball.   Or the other team could get the ball and score a goal or if you're the goalie and you're looking at the sky you would not be a  very good goalie then.

Hockey is a sport that is played in the winter . there has to be at least 11 people on the field at a time.  know you know how to block so next time you're playing hockey use  this skill.
