Last week on Wednesday, Zoe our mandarin teacher showed us how to make a traditional Chinese dumpling.To make this dumpling you need bamboo leaves, sticky rice, dates and red bean paste. After it was made we all lined up waiting to try the dumpling.We had to dip it in some sugar before we ate it. It was really yum.Thank you for reading the blog.Please remember to book a time for the conference.

 Thank you, too all the parents who gave us the magnets,newspaper and marbles.

This week Room 4 have been learning about      machines, in particular we have been looking about parts of a blender. 
We have also been learning how to do instructional writing and procedural writing such as recipes.
The next day we made smoothies using instructional writing. We all had a taste test, and the smoothies were amazing especially with golden syrup. I hope we do this again in the future.

YUM!!! For our recipes to be written effectively, we had to

-do it in a instructional procedure

-use specific VERBS and ADVERBS

-Use short, simple sentences

Throughout this week, Room 4 has been making trade me ads. We got to pick anything on one half of the school and write about it. I wrote about a office chair. We had to add things like the age,brand,condition and measurements.We had to make our writing descriptive and persuasive. We also had to draw a picture. I really enjoyed making trade me ads.
