This week I read a couple of song lyrics by one of my favorite songwriters and singers. His name is lewis Capaldi and he's from the United kingdom. I listened to ; “Grace”, “Hold me while you wait” and “One.” These are only a couple of my favorite songs of his. I like his music because He writes his songs himself and from experience. His songs almost sound sad but they are about things close to him. They are catchy and good songs to sing along to. My favorite lyric was in the song “One” when he made some alliteration, He said, “You broke your heart down with ease , Now I'm picking up every piece ,You must be so hard to please.” I like his voice and recommended listening to his music!

Wild Things
This week I read a magazine about small and unusual inects that are relly cool or that are native to NZ. My favourte part was the section where there were photos of insects or animals that people had found around there home or living in there garden! I especially liked this magazine because it tought me about insects and animals that I had never heard of before, like this bug that looked like a caterpillar or a worm but really its called a peripatus!

Worm? Insect?

Beach Cookout

Beach Cookout

Today Room eight walked down to Watson’s Creek for a beach cookout. We did this for the William Pike challenge for the outdoor activity section.There were seven teams, all with a parent or caregiver from some students in the class. My group included Cooper, Hamish, Phoebe and myself. Phoebe and myself worked really well together but the boys found it hard to do a job. That made it hard for me because when Phoebe and myself had our hands full the boys were wondering or finding it hard to do something.

My favourite bit was when we got to eat our food. We made bacon butties, home made chips and banana pancakes. My favourite meal was the bacon butties because the bacon was cooked to the perfect crunch.

We started our fire by using the teepee shape. This shape worked really well for the structure of the fire we were looking for. We used tinder and kindling to start it and then started adding bigger sticks to get it going . Once the fire got going we let it burn done a little bit and started to make a criss cross pattern . We did this so when the fire got done to embers it was the right temperature and structure for the pan. We put the fire out by using cones to put water in and using sand to cool down the embers. We used sand and water to put out the fire because it smothers the flame.

Something I learnt was that embers on the fire are really good for cooking things on the pan, like pancakes and smores! The learning we did before going down to the beach, about campfire safety, really helped as well.
