Rainbow Swirl Cake

Walt: Reflect upon my actions and see what I should have done to make the situation better.

Today I made Rainbow swirl cake and it was very Tasty. I used this recipe and it was a pretty simple and easy to follow recipe. I only used one 23 centimetre cake tin so it didn't bake right the first time. The second time around I used a 20 centimetre cake tin twice to make 2 layers so the second attempt will be much better. I haven't iced the second attempt yet so I have only had the first attempt and it was very tasty. I am hoping that the next attempt will be delicious. I'm sure that it will be great!

The rainbow swirl cake was real change from my usual baking which is normally just vanilla cupcakes. I really enjoyed this cake. It made me feel like I was a kid and I love rainbows. So this was a fun cake to make. I reckon I've learnt that we have to follow the recipe precisely and get the right amount of time and quantity....... Isn't that a fun word, Quantity.

Anyway hope you enjoy and try out the baking recipe!

Cornwall park Souvenir mission.

Today we went to Cornwall park. We were given a challenge. Find a Souvenir and make up a story to go with it so here are my souvenirs and their stories.
Souvenir number one was a leaf. The story to go with it was that it's a leaf from and ancient tree plant originally from Japan. A sapling was brought over to Cornwall park and the tree has been growing for over a hundred years. That leaf comes from the sapling.
Souvenir number two was a flower. The story to go with that souvenir was that it was a flower from a tree that was first panted in the oxford garden in England. But when a disease that took over all of Europe hit the country so they had to take the flower tree away and plant it in cornwall park of New Zealand.

Summer learning journey: Week 1: Activity 1

The summer learning journey gave me a link to a story about a boy called Maui who goes on a fishing trip with his brothers and fishes out the north island of New Zealand. The Summer learning journey told me to find three facts about Maui. This is what I found out.

1. Maui is a very determined boy: He is willing to do anything to prove that he can be as good as his brothers at the least he would even make his nose bleed

2. Maui Can get really angry: In the story his brothers anger him by telling him that they will not let him fish with them because he is too small but they were probably stopping him from fishing with them because he hasn't had any experience and he was younger.

3. Maui was probably often stressed: Because he probably lived in the shadows of his older brothers meaning he was probably always trying to live up to the peoples expectations that he could be as good and maybe even better than his brothers so it was probably stressful when people were comparing him to his older brothers

Today I went to the beach with my Step Aunty and Step mum and Dad my cousins came as well they are so cute. One is Called Elise she is the oldest and the younger one Is Ayla. we went to the beach and got our clothes all wet and sandy. I went into the water and my objective was to have nothing above the water. But i had to keep my head above the water so I could breath.

Serj the dog Aunty Becca (Step Aunt) owns loves to play fetch so we got a stick and threw it to him. We threw it in the water in the sand and he could not stop running. Roman and Kauri did races and Justice made his little island out of sticks and wet sand. It was very stable.

In the end we went back home Justice went in Aunty Becca’s car and Elise stayed in our car. Before we went in the cars though I gave Elise a piggy back ride with the jacket on top and Justice held Ayla in the baby strap thingy.

On Friday the 7th of march the ambassadors went to the MIT and we presented in a room with lots of pretty ladies. There were 16  ladies and they were very nice. at he end we got to have some water and lollies from the goody bags they gave us. In the bag there was sherbet wrapped in licorice. There were two Fredos and one lollipop. there was also a big container with lots of Mini M'n'Ms. I really like being an ambassador.

Where I Would take a Visitor from Another Country

If I were to take a visitor from another country to popular places in New Zealand I would take Him/Her to the sky tower in auckland to the lighthouse in Cape reinga and to the southern alps in the south island. Why? Because i find those some of the most famous landmarks in New Zealand

Where i Would Like to Go

In mexico the landmark I would want to go to is the Grutas de las Canicas cave because I would want to see the pearls and sometimes natural things can look better than manmade things it is true. Plus I like to go inside caves.

What i do on Waitangi day

What I would do is get my togs on and then go to the beach with my family. We also have a barbeque too and other then that I don't think we do much more.
