My day as A farmer (1850's)

Cockadoodoodle-doo!
Oh...there goes my alarm...time to get up.
I go outside to feed the animals.
First I feed the sheep and next it’s the pig and the cow and the chooks.
Yesterday I dug the soil in the paddock so today I must plant some veggies.
I want to grow some potatoes and carrots and tomatoes.
After I finish work my wife cooks my food. I go to sleep in my hut.

Our community is changing

Howick Historical Village showed us what life was like here in our community 150 years ago. Life has changed a lot from those tent days, when we all made our own butter, and had chooks running around. Check out the technology counter above. What will life be like in another 150 years? What about in only 5 years time?

Communities constantly change. Is ours getting better or worse? What are YOUR thoughts?

How to make butter in the olden days

Making butter is cool because its is nice to eat and you use it for cooking.

You will need:
* 250ml cream
* butter churn
* salt
* water

Steps:
1 First you put cream in the butter churn.
2 Then spin the top of the butter churn to mix it.
3 Tip the buttermilk out of the churn.
4 Put fresh water in the churn to clean the butter.
5 Tip out the water then it’s done.

Nikora's favourite farm

It was cool at Mrs Prices' farm, and I liked the farm. At morning tea we had pikelets but there was my favourite food which is strawberries - I love fruit, all of them!

I liked it because we had all of the nice things like pancakes, fruit and the strawberries.

Ragdoll Avalanche II - Game review

http://www.y8.com/games/Ragdoll_Avalanche_2

In Ragdoll Avalanche II your job is to control a ragdoll, and you need to make it dodge the spikes that fall from the sky. If your ragdoll gets hit by a spike you wobble around and you lose a life.

I rate the game 10/10 because I like the game. Be sure to check it out!

Raft Wars - Game review

http://www.y8.com/games/Raft_Wars

In this relaxed game, you need to hit the enemies with tennis balls (from your tennis ball machines) to earn money to upgrade your raft.

The game scores a 6/10 from me because I think you should be able to buy more friends with your gold.

There's a lot of stages, and I'm getting really good at Raft Wars.

Super cool Sonic - Game review

http://www.crazymonkeys.com/play-9-sonic.html

Click on the link above to play 'Sonic.'

Sonic is a great game because you need to defeat Dr Egmund, who is turning good animals into bad ones. You can choose out of 4 characters (Sonic, Knuckles, Cream, and Tails). Tails is called 'Tails' because he can fly with the two tails he has. Cream has some ears that she flies with, and a little blue buddy which helps her when she gets tired.

Make sure you try 'Sonic' because it's a cool game! I give it a 10/10 rating.

We're glad you're checking out our new blog!

Room 6 is totally rapt with Term 4's topic - we're studying all about chickens, eggs, roosters, communities and later on we'll be looking at groups of people too. We're going to have little eggs hatching into chicks - how totally cool!

Our big question is 'What does a community need to be healthy and successful?'

We hope you'll enjoy reading our blog of all the cool things we'll learn over this coming term, and seeing images of what we've been up to!

Be sure to leave us a comment!
