Today I had to look after my puppy shellbee. she is a very cute but very naughty puppy. she is 11 weeks old. Puppy's need to be trained so the learn from there mistakes. shellbee has learnt a bit from her mistakes. so today we had cuddles and played outside. We even chased each other around. We had lots of fun.
Puppy's also need to eat puppy food. not dog food. shellbee eats healthy puppy biscuits. I know because I read the pack. shellbee is a staffy x I can't wait to teach her more.
yesterday was a really hot day. so I stayed at my Nan and Pops. Nerali and Harry came over for the day so we had a really big day to plain. we had a water fight, jumped on the tramp, and went up the back of the farm.

I got my Nan to help me look like I was being squished by a giant human hand. It is harder than it looks to get the camera to focus right. here are some photos that came out ok.
Today my Nan came up with the idea of doing an acrostic poem.

On the 18th of December 2021 I went to my Aunty Nickys house, she lives in Waipapa. It was a really hot day so we decided to go swimming in the river.
At the swimming hole we discovered a log had fallen down right over the river. We wanted to jump off the log into the river but Aunty Nicky said it could be dangerous and I had to stand in the water to see how deep it was. I could not touch the bottom, so it was safe.
Then one bye one Connor, Tyler, and I jumped in the river, the first jump was scary but we had lots of fun. Then went back to the house.
On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Stinkosaurus Saves Christmas
It was about how even the most unlikely people can turn out to be a hero. I chose to make a gift using needle and thread.

Jam-packed with juicy berries, these strawberry muffins with crisp, golden tops are as pretty as they are delicious.
Servings: 12
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 50 Minutes
2 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off with knife, plus 2 teaspoons more for tossing with strawberries
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick or 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup milk
2-1/4 cups diced strawberries, from 1 pint, divided
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, for topping
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; spray the liners and the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract and almond extract. (The batter may look a little grainy -- that's okay).
With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three separate additions, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour.
Toss the strawberries with 2 teaspoons of flour (this will keep them from sinking to the bottom). Set 1/2 cup of the berries aside. Add the remaining berries to the batter and fold with a spatula until evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin (an ice-cream scoop with a wire scraper works well here); they will be very full. Scatter the reserved berries evenly over the muffins, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the center of each muffin (keeping the sugar away from the edges will prevent sticking).
Bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Run a sharp knife around the top edge of each muffin to free it from the pan if necessary (the edges can stick), then let the muffins cool in the pan for about 25 minutes. Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool completely.
Freezer-Friendly Instructions: These muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop.
We have Pet Day at Ohaeawai School every year and one of the activities we do is to create a symmetrical design on a saucer using flower petals. You put Vaseline on the saucer first to make the flowers stick. That’s why they are called Vaseline Saucers. Here is a pic of me with mine:
We have been learning about using apps on our Chromebook to create images that look like mosaics or stained glass windows. We used Google Draw to make some and some people also used Sumopaint. Here is the image I made using Google Draw. I chose a cat because I wanted to do my cat.

We did a snapshot of a gorilla in the grasslands.
here is my writing
My story continues…
The next second I was in the middle of nowhere!
There was standing a big… fat… ugly… GORILLA! Pat was whining so scared that I had fainted. The next 2 hours I was in the gorilla’s hands walking over the grasslands. There we saw majestic elephants and the scorching hot sun. ‘’look pat!’’ Said sam. A flock of birds! Woof woof! barked Pat. The birds flew. The gorilla sat down and put us down on the ground.
From far far we could still see the majestic elephants walk back home. And the flock of birds set off to bed.
Finally the sun went down behind the horizon. Me and Pat set off to bed too. The end.

We have been learning about abstract art. It’s all about creating works of art that don’t actually look like anything. We focused on the American artist Frank Stella, who liked to make pictures using shapes like circles, triangles and rectangles.
Here is my work:
