An author came to our school and he talked to us about how to make a story and what we need to know. His name is Chris Lam Sam and he gave us a seed and my teacher Miss Farr said to put in a jar and put paper towels around it. She said it will sprout, and it did. here is a picture of what it looks like. you can't really see but it is sprouting.                                                                        By Katelyn                                                                         Enjoy :)

How to make beeswax wraps

By Katelyn.M and Meka.W
Do you know that every day you use glad wrap, do you know how to fix it. Will we do, use beeswax wraps. If you have a square beeswax wraps you can put it on a circle thing too because you can put a rubber band around the beeswax wraps.

To make beeswax wraps you need:
Fabric any that you like.
Special scissors, so the fabric won’t get all fluffy on the side of the fabric
You need to get the beeswax.
You can choose the shape that you like it can be a circle or square.
An iron
Method:
 Dry and watch the fabric then iron the fabric.
Cut the fabric with the special scissors into the shape that you like.
Dip the shape of your fabric in and let the external wax drip off then lay them on a tray.
Bake in a low oven for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and when it is cool enough to pick uphold it by the very edges then gently flap the entry flap the want all the wax is probably room Asperger.
Lay the beeswax wraps to start the drying process for an hour.
Care instructions:
The beeswax wraps can handle a light scrub with a gentle dishcloth or sponge. Hand Wash your beeswax with cold water and alcohol-free soap. Put a bit of cold water in your sink and add soap. Don’t let it soak for a period of time. Dry your freshly washed wrap with a towel for immediate use or place over a dish rack.
To wash the beeswax wrap you wipe the food what was on it first,  then wash the wrap with cold water and dry it with a cloth gently.
 Enjoy making beeswax wraps

The Fire Goes Out

                                                               The Fire Goes Out
                                                                   By Katelyn.M
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Molly. She was sitting by a fire in her house that her mum and dad had put on. Then suddenly the fire went out, she didn’t know what to do so she asked her parents they said to get a jumper on and get some wood from the outside shed.
So that's what she did, she looked but there was no more wood in the shed. She saw a boy (which was her neighbour)and the boy was carrying lots of wood. Molly said “hi Max” (Max was his name) “Can I have some of your wood please” said Molly.
Max said “sure.” And Max and Molly just smiled and walked away. When Molly got the wood she asked her parents if they can put on the fire again. Molly told her parents that she got some wood from Max. after that her parents sat with her by the fire.
The End.

What I have done today in Manu so far

Today is the cross country for the senior kids that had a short amount a timing in the senior school cross country and sadly I didn't make it because of my timing. My teacher is not here today because she is learning different things you can do on a Chromebook. So today Me, Meka, Slade and sometimes Quaid, because he won the cross country, are in Manu because we still need a teacher to watch us. people out the window are putting concrete onto a spot that has not much concrete in it. all of the junior kids and some senior kids came outside to watch the people pouring the concrete. At first, it was cool and then after 20 minutes it got boring so some of the kids started going back inside. some kids are little so they had to get the chairs and stand on them. And now there are only like seven or more or less kids out there still. This morning in Manu Pepeke came into Manu and did some marching, yoga and put a bean bag on your foot and though it up and try to catch it. After that me and my friend Meka we asked the teacher if we could do some literacy medals and maths medals. So we finished our maths quiz. The maths quiz I am talking about is under this writing if you want to check it out. We are going to do some more stuff today but I don't know what so this is all I am going to write for now.

Term two word of the week

This is my term two slide show about the word of the week. The word of the week is when the teacher picks a word that most of us have not heard before and us students find out what the word means because we have to research it on google. I will keep on working on it because it is not finished until week 10 but you can still look at it and comment on it.
