My Small Moment


My Trip to Eastern Beach

When I went to Eastern beach I felt excited because I wanted to build a sandcastle. When I first got to Eastern beach I ran to the sand so I could make a sandcastle. First I went to the water so I could get wet sand then I sprinkled dry sand over the wet sand to make it strong. I made the sandcastle very long just like the great wall of china but way shorter. After building my sandcastle I dug a hole in front of the sandcastle so when the water came it would go into the hole. While I was digging the hole I didn't notice the tide was coming in until I could see it going into the hole that I made. I quickly jumped behind the sandcastle so I wouldn't get wet. Thankfully the water went in the hole and it was not a wave just a tiny bit of water. But then another wave came and knocked a massive hole into the sandcastle so I had to work fast to repair the hole before another wave came. I managed to repair the hole before another wave came so I sat down feeling exhausted, but not for long disaster struck because a wave that was even bigger than the rest came up and crashed down on me and my sand castle. I got soaked and my sand castle was nothing but a big pile of sand, I was so angry I couldn't even speak. All that time was for nothing. I spent so much time building the sandcastle and it was all gone. Later when I went home I still felt angry at the water because the wave knocked down my best sandcastle ever and I couldn't even take a photo. But next time I come to the beach I’ll make my sand castle far away from the water.

ANZAC Biscuits

On Tuesday and Wednesday room 7 made ANZAC biscuits. To make the ANZAC biscuits we used the school kitchen. We had to work in groups otherwise the kitchen would be too full. Step one was mix the flour, sugar, rolled oats and coconut. My job was to pour the flour, sugar, oats and coconut into the bowl. Step two was get an adult to help you to melt the butter and the golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Step three was to put baking soda in a cup and add boiling water. Step four was to pour the butter and the syrup into the flour, sugar, oats and coconut and stir. Step five was to Grease a baking try and put tablespoons off the mixture about 4 centimeters apart. The last step was to bake for 15 minutes or until they are a golden colour.
