Cake cake cake!

 Two days ago it was Saturday and I want to tell you all about it. I woke up not wanting to get up it took a long time for my sister to wake up to but finely we woke up the day was on to a rough start until I saw my breakfast waiting to be eaten. It was a toasted bagel with cream cheese - yummy! Always we go for a walk in the morning. We didn't go for a long walk but we did go for a nice walk.  When we got home I was really bored but then my mum asked me if I wanted to bake a cake. I definitely said yes, who can't resist a cake.  We were making a chocolate cake when my sister got off from reading. She helped me stir the mixture in while my Mum was getting the cake tin ready.  The cake was delicious and I was happy I made it. I think it was my favourite part of the day.

Bike jumps

Today I did some awesome jumps on my bike.  They were both drop offs. If you were wondering what they are, they are some kind of jump that you are on a platform then you drop off a ledge. One of my drop offs were harder than the other because you had to go up to do it then you don't get much speed to drop off so you kind of just have to trust your self to go down. Why I wanted to do them, is because my Dad took me to the skate park to do some jumps and then he showed me what he could do, so I copied.  I think I am awesome at doing bike stunts and I cant wait to learn more.  Tomorrow I am going to start to learn how to do wheelies!! I am very excited.  Do you use your bike to do stunts like me?

Sorry there are no videos they are on my mums phone and we couldn't figure out how my mum could send them to me😢.

Another day in quarantine

The start of the day I just finished my Lego.  It was a Star Wars Lego set. It was hard to make but I just finished it so I am really happy.  After we went for a walk like every morning, today the walk was much shorter I thought it would be. The sun came out so my Mum went out to do the garden and pick some Cranberries so I went out to play with my Lego.  My friend Daniel started calling on face time so I was happy to see him.  Almost the end of the day we went bike riding on the same track I did yesterday.

Bike ride

Hello guys. Yesterday I went bike riding in Burwood Forest and I want to tell you about it. When my Mum said we were going for a bike ride I didn't want to because I was playing on the device but when I got out I was much more happy.  At Burwood Forest we went on a track to a big hill. We had to ride up a big hill to a watch tower.  After we had some photos we went down hill.  I went in front because I am the fastest going down hill.  After down hill we went up a sharp hill.  You know that it's best to go up a big hill because you get to down after.  We went into a lot of bush and dry grass to get out. After we went out of the track we went home to have a shower. The bike ride was really fun I said to my Mum and now I want to do it again! 

Do you like going for bike rides and where do you like to go?

The most delicious slice ever!!!!!

Day 6 of quarantine. First thing today we went for walk around the subdivision we live in. On the walk we walked past a driveway with a lot of worms half dead, so we saved them by putting them back in the lawn😊😀😁.  After that, we baked some Blondies. They are delicious and taste really crunchy and like chocolate. If you were wondering how to make them it will be down below. After eating lunch my dad and I went out for track-stands. If you were wondering what they are it is in my latest blog post. At the end of quarantine we are going to be pro's.   

Blondies

Ingredients 

1/2 cup milk or non dairy milk

2 Tbsp maple syrup

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1 Tbsp flax seed meal

2 tsp vanilla 

3/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter (smooth)

1/2 cup flour ( we used GF flour but any flour will do)

1/4 cup almond flour

2 Tbsp coconut flour

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsb baking soda

1/4 tsb or more cinnamon

1/2 cup or more vegan or any chocolate

How to make

1. preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/ 180 C

2. in a bowl, warm the non dairy milk until hot. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well until smooth. It will take a minute or so for the nut butter to mix in. ( warm the butter before adding so it mixes quicker.

3. in another bowl mix all the dry ingredients and add to the wet and mix in . fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.

4. Drop the batter on parchment lined pan ( 8 by 8 inch brownie pan ). Spread using oiled hands or spatula. Sprinkle some chocolate on top and then press in. ( optional )

5. bake for 22 to 24 minutes. ( or until a toothpick an inch from the edges comes out almost clean ). Cool for 15 minutes then remove from the pan. Cool for another few minutes before slicing. 

Quarantine

Hello, I'm blogging on day 5 of quarantine. It wasn't what I expected though.  I thought it was going to be scary but it was much more fun. I had time to make some stuff I got for Christmas like a meccano race car. I had to make it out of bolts and nuts so it took a long time to make. I also got to go on the iPad for a bit and play with my friend online. I'm still sad about not seeing my friends but it is for our health and I don't want to get Coved-19. I have some games I do in quarantine like track-stands  on my ride with my dad. That's when you put you front brake (or back) on and try to not move or put your foot down for as long as you can and me and my dad have competitions of who can do it for longest!  Dad and I are getting better at them.

finished on day 6

The jolliest Jolly jar

This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.

Here is a link to my instructions.

I learnt that instructions need to be interesting good and it needs a doing word at the start good understanding steps a cool title to get peoples eyes to look.

Reflection on PBL:

For our Jolly Jar my group and I did origami animals. 

I contributed to my group by helping with instructions when I was finished.

Our Jolly Jar was creative because we used good ideas and with it and you made lots of stuff  and you didn't have to do are ideas 

What I learned about working with others was you don't have to do all your work with your friends you can do it with others.

 How did we build community through our actions? By raising money for the bike track in our school,The fair was so fun and good for our school.
