        Baking Cupcakes
Today we made vanilla cupcakes
at Sunnyhills. It was a rainy Friday
morning,
when we arrived at school hall
we melted the butter in a bowl
and then mixed it with an electric beater.
Then we poured the sugar into the bowl
and mixed it with an electric beater again,
then we cracked 2 eggs into the bowl,
and poured in some flour, then added some milk as well as the vanilla essence.
We put them in the oven and they cooked
for 15 minutes. Lastly we tasted them
and they were delicious, So we handed
them to one for everyone and they loved them!!

Baking Vanilla Cupcakes ⍤


Firstly, Mrs V preheated the oven to 190°C, Mrs V also went to the staff
room to beat the butter. Secondly, Khan and Daniel added Chelsea caster
sugar, then Alex beated the mix until it was soft and fluffy with the electric mixer.
Thirdly Khan and Lily cracked the two eggs, and we had to mix
the mixture well again! Our group added the sifted flour, milk and
vanilla essence then we beat the mixture again! We placed the paper baking
cases in a cupcake tin, we each put in the mixture in the paper cases until
it was 2/3s full.  We baked it for about 10 minutes. We were going to
make the vanilla icing, but we didn't have all the ingredients.
It was delicious.

图片结果佛教寺院奥克兰gifRoom 7 went off with the
year 5’s and 6’s to
the Buddhist temple,
here’s what happened:


Firstly we  were placed into four separate
groups, 1, 2, 3 and 4. We were introduced to
the temple’s people and staff, then we went to
the wishing bell and learnt how to make a wish
with it. There was a long line to have your wish,
but it wasn’t too long of a wait.
                                                      
Secondly we huddled inside a small room.
Then the staff taught us how to hold an ink brush
and gave us a piece of paper with chinese
characters to trace over. It was a really hard grip.
Most children struggled, some of us just gave up.
After we were finished we picked up our papers
and headed to our next activity.

We walked over to another part of the temple,
before we entered we had each been each given
a flower to put in a little area with all the other flowers.
We scurried into the room and watched a video about
a prince riding on a white horse. We then wrote a wish
on a  piece of paper which was shaped as a leaf,
cloud or flower. We then each got a pin and stuck it
onto the wall.


After we were all outside in a group we learnt how to
bath the buddha. Firstly we poured water over the
right shoulder, then the left. Finally the back,
whilst doing so we were saying the 3gs and 4gs.
After we walked up a few steps and had a small break.
We each got biscuits and small cup of water to
wash it down. While we were enjoying our food
we got a tattoo which said one of the 3gs  4gs in
action


Once we had finished we scrambled inside
a few policemen came to talk to us. We got to
ask questions about what they carried around with
them on the job. One of the kids asked if they could
get handcuffed and the police replied with, “alright.”
After he got handcuffed we had to exit. It was sad to
leave but we all had a great time, we each got a horse
charm to remember the special moments we had there.

Chocolate Chips Cookies

Making Chocolate chip Cookies


Today we made chocolate chip cookies.


First we preheated the oven to 180 degrees .
Then we laied down some baking paper on the oven tray.
Third we poured the cookie mixture in a big bowl.
Afterwards we scooped a third of a cup of butter and
dropped it in the bowl.
First we cracked a giant egg and mixed it all
together with no water or milk.
When it was all gooey and smooth,
Mrs V(our helper) then mixed the mixture
with her hands.
After we just took a lump if the cooking batter
a rolled it into a ball and dropped it onto the oven tray.
Then very carefully Mrs V slid it into the heated oven.
We baked it for about 15-20 minutes then
took it out to look at it.
Each of us quickly took a big bite out of it to see
what it tasted like. It was so delicious.
Some of us thought it tasted a bit like cereal.
The finished product was so good that
everyone in our class loved it.

Sign Language

                          Sign Language

In Room 7 this week we are learning to learn sign language.  It is an exciting and new subject. Most of us have learned how to spell our names in sign language. We have also learned how to spell thing like, ‘good morning,’ ‘girl’ and ‘boy.’ We wonder how deaf people learnt it. Our teacher makes it look so easy to do, but in actual fact it’s very difficult! It makes us feel very lucky because we can hear. Here are the letters of sign language:
