I also played tag with Ollie and Jack and i also got a slushy and they tasted delicious there were two different flavours lemonade and strawberry but i got both flavours! the slushy looked like sunset and they tasted like flavoured  ice. There was also i fog machine and lots of people brought glow-sticks with them Violet gave me two glow-sticks as well the slushy's sold out the quickest the colours i chose for my face-paint were yellow and dark blue and there was a D.J called D.J ash to play amazing songs i also took a photo with Zoe and there was ham and cheese pizza and cheese pizza i tasted yum. i also played hide and seek tag with Jack and Ollie there were heaps of lights and i was really loud i really really wish there was another disco today because it was so fun and there were 200! people there i really really enjoyed this amazing disco i was so much fun! :) 

  

 Today our class made some posters about pies we made up our own pie recipes before we started these pie posters someone called Callum came in to talk to us about pies. We asked Callum some questions some were about the pie and some were about him and also some were kinda funny one of my questions was 'what is the most difficult pie recipe' he replied with 'the hardest pie recipe is pies that we haven't made yet' and my pie is a fruit pie and it is called kiwi fruit pie with feijoa and rosemary too. We also needed to put colour and bold title photo what fruit and ingredients and why pies are good for you.  I drew some fruit falling and two pies as well  i really loved doing these posters. after the posters we did the voting of the top six from each category the category's were fruit and  pasta Venusian desert cheese-burger  and apple crumble and crispy bacon and egg. The winners names were Amber Manaia Mia Ethan Pj and Jed. I also really enjoyed the voting and drawing out the posters.   

Herb tasting

         Today my class did some herb tasting. We did the herb tasting because we are going to make pie and with those pies we needed some taste as well we wrote in our book what it tasted like what the texture was like. My favourite was the garlic because it was smooth and soft and i little bit spicy as well and the herb i disliked the most  was the mustard seeds because they tasted like peanuts and i really don't like peanuts we did eleven herbs and spices the herbs and spices were basil parsley chilli flakes and mint chive rosemary oregano thyme sage and garlic and mustard seeds one by one Miss Joblin handed the herbs and spices out one by one and i thinking of a fruit pie or a chicken pie my second favourite was the chilli flakes and i also disliked rosemary. There was also a  one that tasted like Kina and really salty that i really didn't like too. most of them had strong smells too. Like the rosemary and some also had strong tastes as well.  

 Last week miss Joblin explained to our class how to do a diorama dioramas are shoe boxes with a picture inside of it but you have to create the photo inside of it you will need some materials like shoe boxes paint anything you want you will have to create the objects and details like grass clouds sun and even birds i really enjoy making dioramas this was my first time making a diorama. i made a tree with sticks and dark shiny green string i also used some rocks and sticks for detail i stuck rocks on the back of my diorama and miss Joblin had and great idea to make the sticks stand up too. I did my diorama on a bush called waihere domain because its was my highlight of our immersion week and for more detail we did some writing on our wild kai there were piko-piko and kawa-kawa fresh water crayfish ear fungus mushrooms and my favourite

Last week my class did a colouring competition for the 4 square the colouring was the for square person but  Easter edition my favourite bit of he colouring page was the big sign that said happy Easter because you can decorate the letters. i did mine in bright colours  because they are more like Easter colours like pink yellow orange violet blue purple. I also liked the Easter eggs as well that went with the colouring pages and you also have to do careful colouring when your doing this. i did mine with a sunset background because i felt like doing something else then just doing a blue sky and i made my bunny ears light purple.

Whats your favourite pet cats or dogs?

  

Last week my class did some judging of what is better cats or dogs? I chose cats because they are clean and tidy when cats go toilet they clean it up but when dogs go toilet they will just leave it there that is really yuck! Also cat cats can be fluffy and not fluffy but I like every cat also kittens. Cats and kitten are very playful they play with string cotton they are also very smart. And they are very cute!

And hats why i think cats are the best pet.
