Potato Wedges!

Last year 2008 our teacher planted potatoes with her class.

So this year Corrie and Natalie dug up the potatoes and put them in bags.

So guess what happened on Wednesday 8 April we made potato wedges. This is how we made them.

Firstly we scrubbed and washed the potatoes and made them spotless.

After they were cleaned we started to chop them in shapes of wedges and we mixed them with vinegar, brown sugar and tomato paste.

Then our teacher Mrs Rae put them in the oven and it took ages to cook and we got bored.

But then people were shouting the potato wedges are ready and we all ran to the classroom and there were heaps of potato wedges so we went and grabbed a napkin and we were only allowed four potato wedges. But then there were heaps left so we were allowed as much as we wanted but even room 11 by themselves couldn't finish them so we invited some other people to help us finish them. 

Yummy they were delicious. We were very grateful to the 2008 year 6 children that planted them.

The McDonalds Duathalon

At South Hagley  park on Sunday the 5th of April something occurred that involved run,bike and run. Can you guess what happened?... The McDonalds Duathlon!

When I got there I found Sam first then Matt,Ben,Alex and Tom.

Time to go, we all went down to the start line, at the start line we saw people from our sport teams on Saturday.

"HOOT!" down to the start line,"HOOT!" time to go.

In the end the hardest part was cycling on the gravel and Matt came 9th.

"On the 500m run my legs felt like they were going to fall off" Alex,9

"It was hard running on the grass and  biking on the gravel but when I finished I was really proud of myself"Matt,10

Daffys visit

'Ohhhh she is so soft!' everyone commented after they patted my pet rabbit Daffy. On Tuesday  my gorgeous rabbit Daffy came to our class. She was naughty. She raced around the room. At last we caught her. It was time for her to go my mum said. Then it was back to learning.

Sweep's visit

Sweep A.K.A Ms Officer Fluffy (she's on the case and my puppy) was exited when she was allowed to come to school on Thursday. She had loads of fun and everybody thought she was cute.
