Swimming Poem

Swimtime

Splish splash splosh

Under the water

 Sounds like crashing waves

Splish splash splosh

Learning how to swim

Splish splash splosh

Like warm waves in the wind

Dairy farm visit

In term 4 we have been learning about dairy farms.On wedensday (halloween)I went on a trip to a dairy farm with the rest of the middle syndacyte.

First we got into cars and drove to the farm. I went with Loren,Debbie and Fin.We talked all throughout the car ride! When we arrived we spread out our picnic blankets and we sat down.

Then we had morning tea. I ate some chocolate fingers with my group. Suddenly they were all gone! Loren had to ask for more food after we finished the whole packet because she started thinking me and megan were popcorn!

Next we went on a farm walk with room 11 and room 9 while room 8 and room 10 went into the milking shed.When it was our turn we got to see the cows getting milked.Room 7 had to try to not get cow pat all over miss workman.

After that we had a gumboot throwing compatition victoria, titus and ocean got into the finals.then we went to look at the effluint pond and to have a turn with the presure hose.

First the cows begin their life as a calf and it drinks its mums milk .Next the cows eat grass and their udder gets full. then the cows go to the milking shed to get milked. The milk then goes through barn in pipes that leads to the milk parlour. After that the milk gets stored in a refridgerated tank.The milk gets collected every 1-2 days.Next it gets tested.then it gets pumped into storage silos where it is processed and pasturised.

Birthday buzz

                                            Birthday buzz

Beep beep beep   ''owwwwwwww"! That hurt. It's 6:oo am and I fell out of bed. Not a great start to my 5th birthday, but oh well. ''Hurry up mum''! I whined."I need breakfast quickly so we can get to lollipops play land for my party''. It is 12:00 and me and my friends have arrived. I raced excitingly for the big slide with the ball pit on the bottom. I started too slide down as two round disks trapped me in the front and back!"aghhhhhh"! save me!I yelled as loud as the school bell! "Wake up"!yelled mum. "I have your bacon and eggs  for your birthday breakfast'' .....

The surprize star

Today we watched a video clip for writing. This is my writing

"Hey granddad it's time to go" I yelled. We were  leaving the old farm house for good. By the way my name is Earwig. We were going exploring to live on an undiscovered colourful island.I wept as we left farmer John alone and in charge of the farm.As we sailed the rocky seven seas I miserably threw up over the side of the boat.:( The moon was slowly rising as I  sleepily murmured "are we there yet?" "no Earwig" whispered my grandfather.Then suddenly crash... we were stranded.

Granddad knew this would be the place to live permanently."wow" There was almost a million stars on the soft sand. I gasped as  a star landed in the pile I touched the bright star."ohhh" "ahh" I said as it shimmed brightly
under the moonlight. Then another one came shooting down and then another and another.One by one."Hello my friends" said an odd voice."Welcome too super crazy fun resort"."the stars are really wooden things we use for throwing". "we should be on our way" said grandfather."can we stay for just tonight?" I whined."fine" said grandpa. "good" said the owner of the hotel.After our stay we set once more to a deserted island.

How we make chocolate

Chocolate has been made since ancient times.

First a white flower of the cacao tree gets pollinated by a insect called a midge.Next a fruit pod grows for 6 months.When the pod is ripe you open it and get the cacao seeds from inside the pod. Then you leave the seeds in a box to ferment for a few weeks.After that you put them in the sun for around 3 weeks.After 3 weeks roast the seeds for 30 mins.Next ground the seeds until the seeds are just a powder.Add sugar to the powder .Then you melt the grounded chocolate and you stir. Finally spoon it into a mould and put it in the fridge to set.

That is  how you make chocolate.

Winter fun

When it's winter I like to wear soft gloves to keep me toasty warm.
When it's winter I like to go skiing to have some cold fun.
When it's winter I like to drink hot milo when I'm thirsty.
Winter fun.
