How to make Maori Bread

How to make Maori Bread

Ingredients
5 cup of flour
5 teaspoon of baking powder
600ml of milk


Method

First, you add 5 cups of flour into a large bowl.

Next, you add  5 teaspoon of baking powder into the bowl with the flour.

Afterwards, pour in 600ml of milk into the bowl

Mix all the ingredients together until it turns into dough.

As soon as the dough has formed, put flour onto the bench so that the dough doesn't become sticky. Knead the dough until it is not sticky.

After you knead the dough, place the dough into a sprayed tray and start flattening the dough into a round shape until it’s 1 centimetre thick.

Last but not least, place the tray into the oven and wait 25 minutes until the bread is cooked.

After you take the bread out, cut the bread into numerous pieces, depending on the amount you’re serving for. Spread butter or any type of jam to garnish the bread and to add more flavour.

This is the same as the maori bread that we made with Mrs Atuahiva.

Water Pollution

Water Pollution

Did you know a water pollution is where people throw their plastic waste,  it kills up to 1 million seabirds, countless fish and 100, 000 marine mammals. The water in china is undrinkable because it has pollution. 95% of the cities in the world dumps raw sewage into their water supplies. The king river in Australia is the most polluted river.  The Sarno river in Europe is most polluted river. About 250 million cases of water-related diseases with thoroughly 5 to 10 million deaths. 4.5 million litres are untreated sewage. 12, 00 kilograms of dirt and other pollutants flow into the north shore city’s stream.  

What is wrong with water?

Poor sea animals are dying because there is pollution in the water. People are throwing rubbish in the sea and the water has a lot of animals who lives in water. People are being careless just throwing their rubbish wherever they want and just not looking after property. The water is rising and some of the Islands are sinking and people are drowning. We always have to take care of water and to always keep the water clean and the animals safe. Never throw your rubbish in the water and there is always a rubbish bin to put in. Please help the animals in the water and keep their body healthy and clean.

Title: Finding Friday...

Author: Dale Henry.

Today I read about Finding Friday which was finding objects to earn more points.

I feel happy about what I read today because i like the class when they were working hard to get points and they were helping others and answering questions.

My favourite character was Mr Rainbow because he was really fun and he was trying to make the class, earn more points and trophies.  

I would feel happy if the same thing that happened to my character, happened to me because I will win the competition with my classmates and have a really cool gold medal.

I think if the author decided to write another part to this story this is what will happen that they got really cool trophy and they finally found Friday.
