Xtra maths


This is my xtra maths for this week and I think I need to work on a little to get the goal.

My worst mistake

My worst mistake
When I was cleaning my school uniform at home with my hands, and I kept the water running. The water was hot, and my uniform was got burned on the sleeves but I didn’t look at the  burned part. I put the uniform on the wire to dry for school, when my mom took the uniform off the wire then she saw that my uniform was burned.When I saw I was angry at myself why I kept the water running. Then I had to buy a new uniform for school.  My dad said to me” that you could have gave the uniform to be washed by the laundry”. Then I said “sorry to dad about my mistake that I made by not listening to him by not cleaning the uniform in the laundry ,and I asked him “Can you take me to the shop to buy a new  uniform  for my school”.I was very pleased that I brought a new uniform for school. Then my mum said that make sure when you wash your uniform at home you use the cold water so that the cloths won't burn. So from now on when I wash my uniform at home I use the cold water for washing

Rewrite the Ending

If you could rewrite the ending of the story what would happen?  Write a paragraph explaining what you think should have happened.
Post it onto your blog with the following information.
- Title The fairy house Fairy jewels
- Author Kelly Mckain
- Type of Book Drama
- Why your ending is better
My ending is better because the fairy’s sussed on what they were doing.

“Now that,’’ said Bluebell,’’is a very good idea.’’ And with that they  all sprang to their feet, grabbed each other’s afternoon sunshine.

Diwali Food

Traditional Indian foods

My family celebrates Diwali festival in Fiji and in New Zealand. We celebrate to mark the triumph of good over evil. It is held in mid-October to mid-November in Fiji, because Indian people follow the lunar calendar. We cook food and sweets for the festival.

We bake sweets like ladoo, lakrimithai, pehra, barfi, kachori, rasgulla, gol gappay, gulab jamun, kheer, payasam, halwa, gigya, and chaat. We cook them for our god Rama, because he returns back from 14 years of Banvash. I cook some foods with my mum like puri, plow, roti, paneer, khichri, bhagi, khari, kufti, and chatni. We start cooking from morning and it is finished at night. When we finish cooking some foods and snacks, we have our lunch.

At lunch time we have some foods like puri and chutney for lunch. The puri is made of flour and the chutney is made of tomato. We put the puri and chutney in different bowls to make sure that we have the correct food we need for lunch. The bowls are big, the lunch is hot with chilli. We had pehra and laado after having our lunch.  Then we went back to bake the snacks. Then we finished cooking and, then we started to pack the snacks.

When we started to pack the snacks we got out some containers, then start to put the snacks in the container. All the containers have different snacks in them, so we wrote the snacks names on the container. After that we went to put them in the kitchen cupboard. The cupboard got filled up with all the snacks and foods. The foods were in the cooking bowls or in the containers. They were very hot to touch. The children were ready to play with the fireworks, and to eat foods and sweets.

We celebrate Diwali every year to mark the triumph of good over evil. My family and I always celebrates Diwali in New Zealand. We follow the lunar calendar, so we don’t get the date wrong and it is held in mid-October to mid-November in Fiji. We cook snacks and food to celebrate Diwali. The food we make for Diwali is from Fiji and India.
