My Monday Morning.

My Monday Morning

I woke up by the sound of Mum yelling at me to get up. “ Come on, get up, harden up cupcake”. I could hear the sound of my brother sleeping. He was as loud as a mad squirrel that had just gotten woken up in the middle of hibernation. I really wanted to stay sleeping in my warm, cozy bed but it is not the holidays anymore(sadly). Still half asleep, I opened up my curtains. It may be the winter but the sun beamed through the clouds into my eyes. The fog looked like a huge fluffy cloud that just wants to hug you. The tree that stands outside my frosty window looks like it just had its Christmas. I went down the stairs with my eyes half open nearly tripping over my own foot. I sleepily walked into the kitchen and I poured some weet bix in a bowl. I didn’t open my eyes until, SLASH! OOPS! I must of put too much in my bowl. Well that taught me a lesson. I slowly ate all of it and packed my bag and yelled at Shaymus to get out of the shower. I think he’s going to turn into a fish soon with how much he has a shower. 10 minutes later, he was finally out so we grabbed our bags and walked to the small bus shelter that’s next to the mailbox. It took us about 10 minutes to get there but we finally arrived. The bus came after 5 minutes of waiting. Our bus is a small van shaped thing that looks like bird poop had just given birth to a rainbow( it’s white and has other colours like red and yellow on it). We both hopped on the bus and drove to school talking to our friends.

The BTB auction

Today was the BTB points auction. Our teacher gives us BTB points if we are on track or we are doing good things. Then at the end of every term everybody (or nearly everybody because some people forget) brings in something to auction off. I had the most BTB points in the class. I had 33. Last term I bought in a container of cupcakes but I wanted it to be a surprise so I put it in a bag. This term I had another surprise. I donated a jelly tip block of chocolate and I put it in a bag. Sadly, some people sneaked a look and they saw what it was so of course that person was the one who bought it. I got an awesome book by David Williams. It was called The Demon Dentist. I got it for 32 BTB points so I had one left. One of my friends got a nerf gun and the other got a moro bar. This BTB auction was probably the best one so far.

How to make bread.

How to make bread


This bread is delicious and is the fraction of the cost of the average everyday bread you would normally get from the shop and you don’t need a bread maker. It is also easy to make so you can make it every day of the week. It's perfect for soup and toast.

Ingredients:

  • Flour
  • Water
  • Table salt
  • Yeast
  • Oil
                                                                               
Utensils:

  • Wooden spoon
  • Bread tin
  • Bowl
  • Damp towel
Method:
Step 1. Put 2 teaspoons of yeast in the bowl and then add in 500ml (2 cups) of warm water in the bowl and leave for 10-15 minutes. Screenshot 2016-06-21 at 12.54.18 PM.png


Step 2. Add in 2 two teaspoons of table salt and then Put in 4-5 cups of flour. Stir in between each cup. When it gets hard to stir then use your hands. Put it into a ball.


Step 3. Put it into a ball. It should be kind of stiff so you can hold it upside down for a few seconds.


Step 4. Put some oil in the bread pan and mix it in the bowl and put the bread dough back in and roll it in the bowl so it gets oil on it.


Step 5. Put a damp towel over the bread pan and leave it for an hour.


Step 6.Punch it down. Cover it again with the towel and leave it for an hour.


Step 7. Once it has risen put it in the oven at four hundred degrees convection bake. Leave it there for thirty minutes.


Step 8. Take it out and when you tap it, it should sound hollow. Now you have completed the recipe on how to make bread.
