"The sea is a hungry dog"

                                                                                                                  "When it becomes dawn

The gigantic sea begins to yawn

Waves rolling roughly on the sand

He begin to stretch out and reach the land"

The poem is based on James Reeves

In my classroom, we have been learning Similes and Metaphors and

one of our tasks was to write our Stanza with a buddy on "The sea is a hungry dog".

The author of the poem compared two unlike things, a hungry dog and the sea.

Truffle Making Recount

Truffle Making
Recount

On Friday, November 29th we made truffles. There were
three types of flavors, Apricot, cranberry, chocolate with
raisins. I choose apricot flavor because I have never tasted
Apricot. Of course, we had to wash our hands before we
started doing the ingredients. The people who were in my
group are Zariah, Cleo, Stella, Anna, and Elina, she came
kinda in the middle of making it because she was finishing
off some work. 

• First, we put a cup of dried apricots into Miss Paton's
• food processor, so we could have it minced beautifully.

Then we added dissociated coconut to the minced apricots.

• Next we had to pour some condensed milk into the bowl
• of apricots and coconut. I really wanted to dip my finger
• into the mixture and put it right in my mouth but I actually
• did it was so sweet. The truffles and other goodies we
• have made will be presents for our families for Christmas.

Now it was time for the most sticky part.

We had to roll the mixture into medium size balls.

All together we made 21 apricot truffles like OH MY GOSH.
Miss Paton put all our truffles in the fridge.

On Monday, the next week, we made melted chocolate
for the cover of the Truffles then, later on, Miss Paton went
to take the Truffles out of the fridge and started to dip
them into the melted chocolate but not with our hands
but with a spoon just incase we eat it and put our germs
inside chocolate bowl. Finally, all our truffles were ready
to go into the bags for Christmas. I really enjoyed doing
cooking with Miss Paton

Flower pot

This term in room 1 we were doing gardening. We first had to paint our pot white because it was brown at first, Then we had to draw our designs in our books to give us an idea of what we would like to draw on our pot so I decided to draw something that was melting off the pot. After that we choose what idea of drawing we got and show Miss Paton she would tell us to start drawing. with a pencil. After drawing our design on our flower pot, we then painted our flower pot in the colours that we needed to use. Then we vanished our pot to make the paint last longer and to make it nice and shiny. Lastly,  and finally, we planted two flowers in the pot and now we have water them daily.

Chocolate Making with Room 1

Chocolate Making
Recount

It was unexpected but we had finally made chocolate for
one of our family members. Miss Paton put us in groups.
I was with Rihanne, Deborah and Athena. The flavours
were milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate.
We all sat on a desk and waited for Miss Paton to come

with our chocolate.  I and my group chose the flavour

white chocolate. After the chocolate was melted we all

gathered up at Meron’s table to see what was happening
while they were mixing. Later on, Miss Paton showed us
how to scoop the chocolate and put it into the chocolate
moulds. We all went back to our tables then started to
pour the chocolate into our moulds and also Miss Paton
told us that we could go to other people’s tables and get
use their chocolate. I and my group went to other
people’s table to get the milk chocolate there weren’t
much so we just took as much as we could. 

We used a pot and a plate to melt the chocolate. We
put boiled water into our pot. Deborah had an AWESOME
idea in putting the milk chocolate on top of the white
chocolate. After we finished doing that, we saved one
mould for the dark chocolate. no one in my group really
liked dark chocolate, there was only one person that really
loved dark chocolate in the group was me. After all of us
finished putting the chocolate into the trays, me, Lesina,
Meron was helping Miss Paton put the dishes into the
cleaning machine ( I don’t really know what it is called),
but the funny bit was that we ate some of the chocolate
from the plates because it really looked delicious. I hope
Miss Paton does some more cooking with us before
school ends.
