This Wednesday we had a film shooter coming in to take photos and videos for our new school website so soon check that out !This week our choices were how are rainbows formed and our second option was why is there no gravity in space and final is how is chocolate made. I chose how is chocolate is made because many people eat a lot of chocolate which is very bad for your health and the main reason is that I like chocolates and I was interested to know more about chocolates and explain/tell/teach you how/what make a delicious chocolate. I found out that some chocolates have mushrooms in it. Our task was to make a doc about the steps and what make a successful chocolate and some more information to include. I have a lot of information to share so here is mine.

WALT : To write an explanation writing.

How Is Chocolate Made

 Introduction

 Did you know that some chocolates have mushrooms in it ? Chocolates are easy to eat but hard to make. It has different steps and different ingredients and exact methods to have a perfect chocolate. These are the steps to make a chocolate.

 

The Purpose Of This Text

 

The purpose of this text is to explain and teach you how chocolates are made and how they are turned into chocolate.

 

Firstly, Cacao pods are cut open and the cocoa beans are scooped out. Secondly, it is fermented and dried in the sun for a week and then wash the beans. Thirdly, After that, they are crushed and half grinded. They grind the cocoa beans to separate the cocoa shells from the nibs. Then it is refined to get the gooey rich chocolate texture. They are grinded at high speeds. Then for the milk chocolate you add less cocoa and more milk. These are like Indian spice grinders that are used to make chai (Tea). Then they leave it grinding overnight and then they add the sugar in the morning. This is after it's gone through the roller mill then this gets thicker and thicker and thicker. You’ll see the chocolate like sugar granules. Then the machine will start grinding it solid if you want to ricoy all the particles in fat. Then they temper the chocolate. Tempering makes chocolate smooth and glossy. Then they are in the freezer overnight to make it hard. Information 1 : Chocolate can be in different tastes, colors, shapes and chocolate can have many toppings and a lot of different flavour too. Information 2 : If you want to make dark chocolate you add less milk and more cocoa to have the exact taste. 

 

Question to be answered : How is the cocoa butter extracted/collected to make white chocolate ? 

Conclusion

 Chocolates are yummy but bad for your teeth . They have different materials, different ingredients, different flavours, different methods and different shapes. It has some really hard steps too .
What kind of chocolate do you like and why ?

My Reading Task This Week !!!!

 Hey Readers,

My Writing This Week !

 Hey Readers,

This week our writing task was to write an explanation writing about the article we have chosen. I chose the article called What Causes Tsunami. We needed to explain how/what causes tsunami. There are 2 steps of what cause tsunami and in the conclusion you will also get all the key points from the text. Indonesia is the most common place for earthquakes and tsunamis. In this text you will also find some very interesting facts about earthquakes and tsunamis and even more.

No WALT

Here is the work

What causes tsunamis ?

What is a tsunami ?

Tsunami is a large tide wave which causes a lot of damage and destruction.

          The purpose of this text

The purpose of this text is to tell you how/why what causes a tsunami.

Facts

The name Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour wall.

In 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake hit on the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia

which resulted in a 50 m tsunami causing over 200,000 deaths and billions of

dollars worth of damage.

On the 11th of March in 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake caused a powerful

tsunami that hit Japan  and killed more than 18,000 people. 

1st step of how tsunami is caused

Firstly, a tsunami is seen as moving from the ocean.This is because the wave

is just like the tide that we usually see in the ocean. This part is the first

sign of the tsunami.

2nd step of how tsunami is caused

This large wave can be up to 10x bigger than a normal wave and often hits

the shore and slows down to around 50 km/ph. The back of the wave is still

moving through deeper water, However it is going faster than the front

wave and when it reaches the shore the back wave crashes onto the place. This is why it goes up high.

Conclusion

Tsunamis causes a lot of damage.

Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes & volcanic eruptions. Some are

caused by landslides and meteorites.

First the wave is seen as moving away from the ocean.

Then it becomes bigger and bigger then slows down to 50 km/ph, the back

wave is moving deeper but faster and finally crashes into the shore. This is

how tsunamis are caused.

My Reading This Week !!!

 Hey Readers,

This week our task to do was similar with our last week's work infact it was the same. We needed to at least finish and blog our 2 or 3 create tasks at the end of the week. My first create task is the quiz about elephant I chose these kind of questions because you readers maybe know some of the answers. I chose this elephant book because I like elephants and I have actually went a ride on them. My second create task is the word search. I chose these kind of words because if you have been onto the elephant quiz I have made you might know some of the words from there. My third task is the Venn diagram which i chose to compare both elephants and tigers because I already know some similarities and the differences and moreover it would be easier if you have done the quiz and the word search.

Writing This Week !!!!!!

 Hey Readers,

This week Monday It was public holiday and on Wednesday it was our athletics day and I went to the zones. This week our task was to write a narrative or something about the picture they have given us from Pobble 365. 

Here is mine

One morning when I woke up, I saw my friends chatting about The Fish Island which I was curious to know more about. My friend told me that there’s a massive, gigantic fish and on top of it was an Island where some people lived which made me research more about it and visit it at least once. When I searched for it, I was fully blank and I could see the real picture of the fish. When I first looked at the picture it made me think that it’s a Mackerel and then I realized that it was a Tarakihi. Then in a fraction of an hour, I started to pack my things up and head over there. I stowed onto some old boat and I floated till I reached there. I smell the stinky and disgusting water. I was feeling very sad and worried for the fish. Then after 5 days staying there, I discovered that the problem was the fish could fly but the wings of the fish were hurtled very seriously. The more heavier it carried the more painful it was. After 3 days I said to the council to tell the people to vacate that place for 2 years. Then in about 2 days the place was emptied. Immediately, I started to break down the houses and destroy the whole place. Then 4 days later things were done. The only thing I needed to do was to heal the fish’s wings. But suddenly the fish started to move and it went up in the air like a hot air balloon. My heartbeat was fast. I mumbled please leave me on the ground. Then finally it landed back to the place it was stuck on and relieved me and flew back again. Finally I sigh. The End

Before And After

Hey Readers,

This week we need to write some thing about the picture that they have given. I have some other task to do so sorry I can't add details to it. 

Here is mine 

Before And After

Once upon a time far back in 1939 when world war 2 started ,

the factories started making weapons like guns and bombs.

However they did not notice that the gas was leaking and

there

were bullets and some matchsticks left near the gas, when a

person was trialing the gun, he accidentally pushed the tray

with

bullets and matchsticks in and when it hit the ground so fast

and hard, it exploded and fired then the fire spread all over

the place and boooom all the  materials fired. Many people died.

You can see the sky full of pollution. After a month it was still

the same , no changes other than leaves started to fall and the

whole place was dry with no animals or humans left except a

Vulture which was squealing and making some squelch noises. But

in a few days it was dead. No living things can live there. The

land was fully dried with no water in it. After a month old a

man researched and came with plans to resolve the problem and

came with some proper materials to brighten the awful dry land.

First he watered the whole place with a water tank for 2 weeks,

then when the land was fully wet, he started planting some

flowers and trees. After a month, the land was more beautiful

than before and it had many rare flowers, even mariegolds.

The place was entirely perfect with a city in about 5 Kilometres.

Thanks very much to the man. Great Job :)
