Lemon Sugar Scrub

 Kia Ora Readers!

Yesturday in Miss McLeod's reading group Jk rowling my group were making lemon hand scrub. The first thing we did was we read with Miss Cornish ( student teacher!)  the story was called up the pipe. The story was about these children who did an experiment about what type of home supplies  have chemicals in them or not. After we read the text we planned the steps of making the lemon scrub. We added the ingredients and steps of making the mixture. Once we got into the wet space we got into groups of four or three. The people in my group were, An, Sophie, Jed and me.  Then we got started I first added 1 cup of vegetable into the mixture. After that I squezed some lemons with Sophie, into a bowl. Once we finished adding everything into the mixture, we started mixing it all together, we all took turns until it was perfect. Then my group got to try the lemon hand scrub, we first washed our hands next we used the hand scrub. The scrub felt very ticklish but also very relaxing on my hands when in the moment. After we washed our hands we all added some lemon hand scrub into our containers we brought.  

Here is the ingredients:

2 or 3 lemons 

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of vegetable oil 

Mix everything together and if you want you may zest a lemon to change the texture a bit. 

What I found challenging was making sure I didn't make a mess, what I found easy was mixing the mixture together. 

Vegetable poem

 Hey Readers!

Last week in Miss McLeod's writing group we got to write a vegetable or flower poem to get entered into the flower festival. The first thing we did was  look at some examples of poems, and we also got to comment on something we realised about the poems. Then we planned what we were going to use in our poem. For the first poem I chosse to do it about a cucumber, but the thing is  I could only submit one. Planing about the vegetable was challenging at first but once I got help from Miss Cornish ( Student Teacher) I got the hang of it. It took me awhile to figure out what type of poem I wanted to do for the cucumber. In the end I chosse to submit my what am I poem because that's what most people enjoyed. Editing the poems were easy, picking which poem I wanted was tricky because they were both really amazing, 

Are you submiting a poem for the flower festival

Have you done a Vegetable poem before? 

Here is my poem.. Don't look at what the vegetable is until you read the poem.
