Chocolate Cupcakes 13/03/18

Today My class and I learnt how to make Chocolate Cupcakes. We collaborated with each other, 2 people on each table and straight away grabbed all the ingredients. We finally baked our Cupcakes and instantly begun to wash all the equipments we used, then waited patiently for our Chocolate Cupcakes. Finally it was time to take them out of the oven we placed all the Cupcakes onto the rack and quickly tasted it. One word to describe it would be "Delicious", because it was yum and chocolatey and it was like slowly mounting in My mouth. We finally topped it off with some Chocolaàte Syrup and made it more Delicious.  

Jump Start - Grammar Activities

This term for English our focus was on Grammar Activities. My given subject to present was Reflexive Pronouns. When I was given this subject to study, research and present on, I was extremely nervous at first when we were told to present it, but when I continued to study it and get to know it I tried my best to  be confident and just try my best. I didn't have a clue of what Reflexive pronoun was at first but I did loads of studying and I started to get to know the definition and how to define it. In this presentation there are definitions and examples of what Reflexive Pronouns is.

In the middle of nowhere Term 4 2016

In the middle of nowhere Term 4 2016

As I was walking to the bus stop back from my campout with my friends, I hopped into the bus to go back to my house, then suddenly I fell straight to sleep, the bus was still moving and people was still in there when I last checked, and  I knew it was going to be a long ride back home because it took a lot of stages when I was on my way to the campout.

Later on that night, I felt a little push, I instantly woke up because I thought I was back home, as I slowly opened my eyes I gazed everywhere with such a shock! I was in the middle of nowhere. I peered at a far distance and saw nothing at all just trees, but I was very exhausted so I just slept there overnight. In the morning I woke up and straight away went to find my way home, I was very anxious and very angry. I strolled up hills and down but I still didn’t know where I was.

I was lying in the burning hot sun, exhausted and feeling very depressed because I didn’t know what to do. I walked through the night exhausted and very angry, I felt weak and my body felt unusual, but I didn’t want to stop searching so I just kept myself moving. I was sweating and very tired and just noticed I ended up at the same place I was when I got thrown out so I just laid there boiling in the sun.

After the little nap I had I felt boosted and fired up as I stood up I thought for a while and decided to try and trace the buses wheels because here were marks on the road. I strolled with happiness and joy because I could notice the place I was at so I kept on following until I was sure, suddenly the marks were starting to fade, but luckily I knew where I was going I was strolling with Pleasure.

I walked past my friends house and walked pass the bus stop and noticed that the man in the bus was the same man that was in the bus I was in, he looked back at me and gave me a evil look, then I decided to not catch the bus and just walk off and as I carried on walking, the bus speed off and I just ignored it and kept on strolling.

Finally, at last I have reached the street my house was at, I was delighted with joy. I was very glad Everything was where It was expected and I was very happy.
