New Puppy

New Puppy

As I wake up on christmas morning the snow falls lightly.It is a chilly morning as I walk down the stairs my eyes open wide. I see a cute puppy just sitting there.”Oh my gosh this is amazing”I screamed.At first the puppy is frightened and tries to get away.”Hmmm what can I name him”I say.”Ohhh maybe Buddie”I say excitedly. Buddie loved his new owner after a couple of weeks.One day buddie was walking around outside and fell in the snow.He was lost and we all went to find him.When we found him he was curled up in a ball shivering.We took him to the vet and he stayed there for three weeks.We were so worried.The weeks passed by slowly we sat there lots of things took my mind off him but I still missed him.When he came back he was so much better.I was so happy to see him.But he was sick and we had to be careful`

I didn’t go to the hospital or get checked .Every night I would lay in bed and dissolve in tears.

Matariki Facts

Matariki

Even though not all tribes celebrate together or not at the same time it usually begins on the first full moon.


Lots of people think that Matariki is a constellation but it is a cluster.


There are about 500 stars of Matariki but without a telescope you can only see six or seven stars.


Matariki has different names in different countries.


Some of the names of the stars are Matariki, Tupu-ā-nuku, Tupu-ā-rangi, Waitī, Waitā, Waipunā-ā-rangi and Ururangi.


Matariki is the maori new year.


Matariki comes back in June.


Polynesians celebrate matariki with kites.


Matariki means the new cycle of life.


Matariki is a time to remember the people you have lost.


If the Matariki stars are hard to see it means the next year will be very cold.


Matariki is a time to get ready for learning.


Also if the stars are hard to see it means it is a bad time to grow crops.

My Amazing Anzac Biscuits

On Friday the 24th of April I made Anzac biscuits.They were delicious and very easy to make. Here are some photos and the recipe










Ingredients


1 cup Edmonds Standard Grade Flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ¾ cups rolled oats
½ cup Chelsea White Sugar or Chelsea Raw Sugar
¼ cup (firmly packed) Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar
1 cup desiccated coconut
125g Tararua Butter, cubed
¼ cup Chelsea Golden Syrup Tin
2 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Method


1. Pre-heat oven to 150°C conventional bake. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. In a medium sized bowl, sift together the Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and cinnamon. Add the rolled oats, coconut and sugars; mix well.

3. Combine the Tararua Butter, Chelsea Golden Syrup and water in a small saucepan and stir over low-medium heat until the Tararua Butter melts and the mixture is well combined (ensure the mixture does not simmer or boil). Remove from heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. Add immediately to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon to stir until well combined.

4. Roll 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into balls and place onto tray about 5cm apart. Use your fingers to flatten each slightly (until they are about 1cm thick) and bake for 16 minutes (for a chewy biscuit) or 20 minutes for a crunchier biscuit.

5. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
