Preparing for cross country

Today, for cross country preparation, room 7 did a lot of exercising. First we did some stretches for our warm up and  Mrs Parker told us that we had to jog two laps around the verdant-green field. As I started to jog, I felt a little chilly as I was jogging but as I kept on jogging i was all of a sudden really warm like there was a invisible air blanket on me. I could hear the wind as I turned my face. My feet felt numb as I created footprints in mud. As I ran, I got a stitch which made me to go a little bit slower, continued jogging. I was up to me last lap then stopped at the finish line near all the people who finished. But I still had to wait for the others that still needed to finish. When I sat down, I had a little rest then did some stretches to warm down. As I raced to put on my shoes, we all ran to class very tiredly. I felt exhausted as I sat down in class waiting for the rest of the class to come in and sit on the mat. 

Baking Bread!

For the week, Glenbrae School has been doing science week. Yesterday with Mrs Parker, Mrs Parker decided bake bread. We all sat on the mat and got to take turns mixing and adding the ingredients into the bowl. As we finished up and got onto the kneading process, Mrs Parker picked some students to come and help her. I had a turn but I wasn't kneading hard enough so I let then next person go. Mrs Parker had split the dough into two pieces, we left one to rest for thirty minutes and the other half for one and a half hours.

As we cooked it until ready, Mrs Parker read us a book about baking bread. When she finished, the bread was ready. Mrs Card brought it to us. The thing we had to do was see what was the difference between the one that had a very long rest and the one that had a short rest time.

As I had a bite into both of them, I thought the one that had a shorter rest. I was really nice and soft. It had a little sour and sweet taste in it which made it even better.

It was very fun learning how to bake bread. It was a fantastic experience because I have never baked bread before. I was happy that I finally could.
