Why we should do baking on Thursday.

My convincing must have been good because we are now going to do our first baking on this Thursday. I will post what we have been making.

Why we should do baking on Thursday.

I strongly believe that the baking should be a part of our learning because it's
covers maths reading and lots of other things.If you were doing baking you are
using measurement and adding skills. We will have to read the instructions first,
and problem solve if we need to double the mixture because there are lots of
people. You will learn some life-long skills about how to use the ovens in
microwaves and other kitchen appliances.

If we were to do it I think that we would have to split up into groups because our
kitchen is not very big. We would have some older kids and younger kids and
each group. I think the best day to do it is on a Thursday because on Fridays we
have assemblies one week and tech days on the other so Thursdays would be a
good day.

We can make things like cake cupcakes brownies biscuits but we would have to
make enough for the whole school or one class or just the people who baked.

 We need to look at the safety of the food. 

We need to be safe with the ingredients so they are not off. 

We need to wash our hands before starting so we don't get sick

If we are using a knife we will have to make sure that only the older kids use them
and that we know how to use them properly.

We have too keep everything like the bench and tables clean

We will probably be using the oven and if we do the teacher will have to do it for
us

We will need teacher supervision

Doing dishes as we go instead of leaving them to the end.

We could maybe use some of the ingredients from the garden if we make sure
they are ready to be picked and clean 

              

Why sign language should be apart of school learning

I very strongly believe that sign language should be a part of our school education.
I am going to persuade you think about if you or someone in your family was
deaf and you had to learn Sign Language. 

Did you know that Sign Language is one of our three official languages in New
Zealand. They are Sign Language, Maori and English. We already learn Maori in
schools but probably not enough, so I think that we would need a good hour a
day to learn Sign Language. I think that one of the reasons that we don’t learn it
in schools is because the teachers don’t know Sign Language. It would take a
while for them to learn it and then teach it to us. Some people think that it would
be cool to learn Sign Language.

The reason that you would learn Sign Language is because there may be
someone in your family that is deaf, or at your school. Can you imagine how sad
it would be if you could never speak or hear anything again? It would be worse if
you couldn’t even communicate with anyone. I think that it would be helpful
because you might come across someone in your lifetime that you might be
working with or going to school with that is deaf and you want to be able to
communicate with them.

Some people wonder when you’re deaf why can’t you speak. Well if you were
born deaf then you have never heard a word before so you wouldn’t know how
to pronounce it. But if you became deaf then you wouldn’t know the volume of
your voice so you could be yelling when you think you are just talking normal.
If you want to test this just put on ear muffs then try to speak and get your friends
to tell you if you are yelling or not. 

This is why Sign Language should be apart of our learning. I know that there are
more than 9000 deaf people in New Zealand and they would want this to change.

In the last week we have been learning about how to get our structure right for a narrative. My message in this story is that you should always stop and think before you make your decision.

Wee ow wee ow!̈ ̈ Put your hands in the air”! Hooted the policeman.

Ring Ring!  ̈Hi can you come bail me out of jail?¨ 

̈ What have you done now?¨

̈ Well long story short ̈

̈ Just get on with it ̈

̈ ̈Well it all started at 9:00 last night when I got hungry, so I decided to go for a
walk to find food. Then right there in the moon’s light I saw a lollipop stand and I
thought to myself that is exactly what I need so I rushed over and to my disappoint
ment it was closed! Right at that moment I saw how badly it was locked so I
thought I would just grab one and then lock it back up. So that's what I did and I
left the right amount of money on the counter. As I sprung to go home I heard in

the distant sirens, then came a police car. I thought someone must have crashed.
When he pulled up to me I yelled “Sup bro, tough night? To my surprise he
replied, 

“Put your hands in the air” and that’s how I ended up here.

“That wasn’t a short story but it was a dumb one so I will be there soon.”
exclaimed Lucy his wife.

The next day Baddy Daddy was bored so he decided to go for a walk, when in the
distance he saw a flash car that had not one scratch or one speck of mud on it
and he just couldn’t stand not getting a closer look. So he decided he would just
have a little look. As he peered around the corner of the drivers door he noticed
the keys sitting right on the seat. So without thinking he jumps in and said to
himself 

“This car is too clean for me and it looks like it has never seen a farm before or
even a speck of dust on it. So I might just have to show the car what he has been
missing out on,'' he whispers evilly. He went round and round the paddock, mud
raining everywhere like a sprinkler. A smile appeared upon Baddy Daddy’s face. 

As he revved the engine back into the park where he round the car, he thought
that he should probably take it through the carwash first. So that's what he did.
When he arrived back where the car was parked there was a police car right in
the park with a grumpy looking man with him. He thought  to himself.

“Here we go again”! He slides out of the flash car and put his hands up in the air
because….

́ ́Put your hands in the air! ̈ Hooted the policeman!

“Yeah, yeah just take me to jail! Sorry mate, it's just that I felt so bad for the car
because it looks as though it has never seen mud before so I had to show him.
Well on the bright side I took it through the car wash before I brought it back.”
The grumpy man rolled his eyes and then checked the car for a scratch, then
lept in and drove away.

Ring Ring! “Hello daddy” answered his 10-year old daughter cheerfully. 

“Can I talk to your mother please?”grumbled Baddy Daddy

“No she is busy making dinner do you want me to take the message?” said Ella.

“Well can you ask her to come and bail me out of jail?”

“Daddy what did you do now?”

“Nothing bad don’t worry darling”

You can hair in the background, 

“mum Dads in jail again” 

“Ohh come on” the mother Lucy reples

“We will be there soon mum said” answed Ella

The next day Baddy Daddy was shopping and he really needed to go to the toilet
but as he walked up and down the mall, there were no toilets. He screamed “is
there no toilets in this place or am I Just blined.” A few minutes later he squeaks
“ I can’t do this for any longer so he decided to find a bucket. After all that he
saw on the corner of his eye, blue and red flashing lights and he mutters

 “who put a curse on me, three days in a row going to jail is this a joke or
something?”

“Put your hands in the air!” Hooted the policeman.

“What ever” he replies with a stunned look on his face that they’re just pulling
up him when there are much worse crimes out there that he should be
patrolling.

Ring Ring! “Hello” said Lucy

“Hi um I’m in Jail again?”

“Oh for goodness sake what is wrong with you?”

“Well”

“I don’t care anymore, I’m coming” then it went silent Baddy Daddy knew that
she was rolling her eyes. Baddy Daddy muttered 

“ I really need to stop and think before I  do something because next time I will
have to go to jail for ever!”

The next day he was very careful with his actions because his daughter said as
politely as she could 

“Dad I don’t want you to go to jail forever please stop”! At that moment it hit him,
he needed to stop before he did something really bad. Every decision he made
he stopped and thought before he did it and the rest of the day went like a
breeze. He had finally stopped the so called curse.
