Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 4

Summer Learning Journey Day 4 More Than Meets The Eye

3. What was it like crossing the south pole?
4. What was your favourite adventure you went on?
5. When you got to the top of mt Everest was was the first thing you said to yourself?


Activity 2 Pancakes And Maple Syrup

French toast recipe

Serves 2
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 300ml milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 4 thick slices white bread
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Toppings of your choice (such as 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, or 2 tsp caster sugar)

How to make French toast

  1. In a wide dish, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla or cinnamon together. Coat one side of the bread slices in the liquid, then carefully flip them over and leave them to soak for 1-2 mins. If the bread isn’t very fresh you can leave for a few mins more. You want the eggy milk mixture to be absorbed into the bread but not so much that it falls apart.
  2. Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add two slices of the soaked bread. Cook for 5 mins or until golden, then turn to cook the other side for another 5 mins. Transfer to a plate and cook the other two slices in the rest of the butter.
  3. Cut the bread on the diagonal and divide between 2 plates, then add your toppings. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup works really well, or a sprinkling of cinnamon mixed with sugar. Add some jam, fruit compote or a few slices of fresh fruit or berries if you like. You can even turn it into dessert with the addition of crème fraiche or ice cream.
Activity 3 Salt And Pepper

I would build my hotel in Hawaii and I would make it out of brick.

Slam Poetry

Loss

We all know what it's like to lose a loved one,
Whether it is a person a pet,
We all know how it feels,
Its like you loose a part of you,
It feels like you will be scarred for life,
It's a horrible feeling and,
It's hard  for dealing with it,
It may take a while,
But you will always be,
Able to push through it,
It's hard to talk about it without,
Getting upset
No matter how long ago it happened,
It's a struggle to sleep,
Because,
Everytime you close your eyes,
You can just picture them,
When you open your eyes,
You can't stop thinking about them,
Loss

It's soooo hard



We have been writing slam poems that are about really emotional things.

Metaphor cards



These are the back of the get writing new Zealand cards that we sent to a school and they sent us some back. These are our schools ones we made.

These are the cards that got sent to our class.

These are my metaphors about me we sent.

Sophie is slow as a snail.
Sophie is crazy like a monkey.
Sophie is a lion at feeding time.
Sophie is lazy like a sloth.

These are some I wrote about our classroom to send to the other school.

Room 2 is an ocean, loud and unpredictable,
Room 2 is a gymnast flexible and strong,
Room 2 is as knowledgeable as a dictionary,
Room 2 is a mother panda guiding her children.

Omelettes

Omelettes What You'll Need 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ​freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup shredded cheese- onion, ham mushroom (all optional) cooking spray (or butter) 1. Beat eggs, water, salt, and pepper until light and fluffy. 2. Precook onion, mushroom ham etc. - in the pan with a little oil 3. Heat the pan with a little butter in 4. When pan is hot (but not smoking), pour the egg mixture in. 5. As the omelette starts to set, lift an edge of the omelette with a clean spatula and tilt the pan so that the runny, unset portion of the omelette can run underneath and start to set. Repeat on the opposite side. If adding vegetables or meats, do so now. 6. When the omelette is just about completely set, sprinkle the cheese over half of the omelette. Then fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese half. 7. Or you can leave it unfolded and put grated cheese on it and grill it. The omelettes were so delicious. I had ham and onion in mine it was so good. It was that tasty I couldn't eat it all. Omelettes take about 5 minutes to cook. I would definitely make this for your family for breakfast one day. You can also double the recipe if you want and you can also make little ones. You can also make little ones for younger kids and if you have other stuff as well.

Bio Poem



Sophie

Creative, friendly, smart

Lover of puppies, cucumber and swimming

Who wonders if animals have a better life

Who fears of white tales

Who feels safe and comfy in my bed

Who cares homeless people are not aloud to have surgery if they don’t pay

Who dreams of being a famous artist

Who is able to be a better person
