Another week another piece of writing.

How has technology changed the way we learn?

 Your school probably uses nothing but computers but let's take it back to the olden days, what did schools use in the olden days? In the olden days they used typewriters. Typewriters are a funny looking thing it’s like a piece of wood with keys on it. 


But how has technology changed from then and now? Nowadays we use laptops and Chromebooks, but it was much different  back then. Some people think that using Chromebooks are bad for your learning but some people think the opposite, they think that it is good for your learning. Another thing that has changed the way we have learned are printers.

Printers have changed the way we have learned a lot, they didn't have printers in the olden days in fact they didn’t have anything in the olden days. Printers are amazing when you finish writing your speech you probably printed it out and stuck it on some cards. But printers can do much more, printers can photo copy and print things with heaps of colour. But the most important thing that has changed our learning is the space we work in. 

The space we work in at our school is amazing, the space we work in today has changed the way I work it so great having a nice school. In the olden days everyone had to work in one specific place and on a pacific desk that would be horrific. 

I hope you have learned how technology has changed since then and now. What do you think do you like the way the technology was then or now. see you next week.

How does a cake rise?

This week for writing we have been learning to do explanation writing so here is one of my writing pieces.

1. How to do gymnastics 
2. How to make a batch of cookies 
3. How to find diamonds in minecraft (survival) 
4. How does a bike work
5. How much does a cake rise - THE WINNER 

Plan 

The cake rises from the baking powder

 The baking powder are little air bubbles that increase in size when it is in the oven. Going to explain how a cake rises and why your cake won’t rise. 

Title - I will tell them about how does a cake rise. 

Introduction - corn flour makes a cake rise.

Main reason - the cake rises from the air bubbles increasing in size because of the heat from the oven.

The second reason - how much does a cake rise. 

The reason behind the second reason -  the cake rises ¼ of an inch. 

Conclusion - hope you know how a cake rises and how much does a cake rise. 

How does a cake rise. 

Cakes are mostly used on special occasions or sometimes just used to show people that you are a good cook. I have always wondered how does a cake rise that is why I will be telling you how does a cake rise.  Some of you probably think that the oven is magic and the cake rises because of the oven. But it is actually from what you put in the cake, the cake rises from something called baking powder, but how does the baking powder make the cake rise.   

Baking powder looks like flour but is actually much different. If you have rubbed your hands on baking powder it’s really smooth but their are tiny tiny little air bubbles in baking powder. When the cake is placed in the oven the heat of the oven makes the air bubbles increase in size and the cake rises. If you cut your cake in half you will probably see decently sized air bubbles in the cake.  

But what if your cake doesn't rise? There are two reasons why your cake doesn’t rise, one of the reasons is you didn't put enough baking powder in your cake or you didn't put any at all. The second  reason why your cake won't rise is your oven isn't at the right temperature. How much does a cake rise the average length for a cake to rise is ¼ of an inch. But some cakes are different and some recipes are different so some cakes rise differently but the average cake rises ¼ of an inch. 

My winter sports team

Winter sports. 

Over the winter sport season me and my rugby team played a lot of rugby games, made up of year fives and year six students. Our rugby team turned out really good, the first rugby game we played was against Te papa school. I thought that we wouldn't stand a change but in the end we came out on top. In about the middle of the season me and my team moved to the A grade and there was only 4 teams in the A grade including us.


In the A grade the games were much harder than the games we were playing before we were in the A grade. The fist game we played in the A grade we got smashed bye the Shirley bulldogs, that was a game we would remember. The last game we ever played for the season was against hill view school, it was a really hard game but in the end hill view school came out on top. From the first game to the last game we have improve so much. My fitness has improved a lot since the first game to the last game, all so I think I have got slightly faster when we started rugby.

Does your school have winter sports?   

MATHS BOARDS !!!!

This term we have been doing maths boards for maths, here is an example. 

 do you do maths boards at your school?

Fast fashion, THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BOOK about the environment

This term in reading we have been reading about the environment. I have enjoyed reading lots of different types of books and one of my favourite books to read about this year is about climate change. Climate change is interesting to learn about.

For reading this week, my group read the book called THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BOOK about the Environment.

Now I understand better that using animal skins for something you don't even wear is not right.

How would you feel if you were outside in the cold for six months with no cloths?

I'm about to collapse!

Cross country 

On Thursday 2nd of may we started to walk to Walter park on the way to Walter my stomach was filled with butterfly's, not long after we arrived at Walter park. when we got to Walter park the teachers were putting the tarpaulin down as soon as the teachers finished tarpaulin down all the kids ran to sit on it and there was know more room but luckily Aidan came with a back up. after waiting for 2 hours of waiting it was finally our turn to run, I was shaking like a wet dog, on your marks get set GO! I sprinted like a cheater and just like that I almost finessed the first lap when I was about to pass the finish

 line for the first lap and everyone cheered for me so I sprinted as fast as I could. we were on our last lap and my legs were about to collapse and I started to get the stitch but I didn't  give up. I could see the finish line  I ran like a hungry pack of Hyeners I leaped to the finish line I was just lucky enough to make it to zones.
