Over the last two days, the year 6's have been baking for the “how many veggie can you get in a cake” challenge and then we decided to send it to  the people of Kaikoura since they have no home after the earthquake .

Although we have been baking, we have also been doing lots of maths. here is the maths that we have been doing

• fractions - doubling, tripling, we halved the recipe, we read the fractions and divided the fractions.
• counting,
• Measuring - We have been using cups, spoons and . we put the heat on to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Statistics - we rated what we made, so we could compare to see what recipe is the best.

World War 1 Trench story by Bryce King

The smoke filled air was inhaled into my lungs, rats swarmed the trench along with spiders and mice, bullets flew through the air, my ears rang like a fire siren.

The bodies stared at me, guilt filled my body like water in the ocean. My finger gripped the trigger, goosebumps and butterflies swarmed my body like moths to a flame. Bullets swarmed the air like bees at a beehive there stingers aimed at me. One hit. Game over.

My finger began to go numb, it clutched the trigger, slowly moving forward “boom” my whole body couldn't believe what I did. A man fell to the ground, my body shook with fear, imagining the news to someone's family that there brother, father or son is dead. “Boom!” I lay lifeless on the ground, my last thought was I deserve this.
