Reflection

For the past term I have been working towards my contributors band for Mahana schools superb kids challenge. I had to choose 4 challenges to earn my band. I chose to cook a meal, do some baking, only use reuseable containers and keep a blog.  Click on the links to see how I went.

I enjoyed cooking a meal for my family. I cooked  dinner and desert with a banana milk shake. 

It was easy not to use glade wrap and things like that. But it was hard to fit the containers in my lunch box!

It was hard to find things to bake for Pop. Next time I wold plan what to bake first, or ask Pop what he would like.

I found it hard to keep the blog going, because I had to type a lot of posts and find the pictures that go with the posts and add captions. It was hard work. I chose to do the blog to keep in touch with Gran and Grandad while they're in Australia.

Helping The Enviroment.

I used only reusable containers in my lunch box for a term, because it helps the environment, because not as much rubbish goes to the dump.



This is me and my lunch box.

Gym Comp

Today I went to a gym competition at the Moutere Hills Community Centre. I was in stage 4. We had 4 activities, bar, floor, beam and vault. We were scored out of 10. I came 2nd overall and I got a silver medal! I was very proud of myself.

Frosty Mornings

The last couple of mornings our dam has been frozen over and part of a big patch of dirt had ice on it. My sister Chelsea and I pretended to ice-skate on a big strong patch of ice. I fell over 5 times in total!  Chelsea fell over 3 times!

The mud flats

today the gardening group went on a trip to the mud flats to look for skinks on an island. We found two skinks and one crab. We went because we wanted to find out what plants skinks like and where they like to hide, so we could make a lizard garden at school. it was very fun but also very muddy!
