Reading Journal: Captain Underpants.
Captain Underpants: chapter 1: George and Harold

Introducing George and Harold they are clever and good-hearten boys and they are fourth graders. At their school fourth graders have to pay attention and sit still. Their not good at that.

Today my reading group (Dragons) we had to read a chapter and retell parts of the chapter.
The book I read was

Captain underpants and the invasion of the incredibly naughty cafeteria ladies from outer space (and the subsequent assault of the equally evil lunchroom zombie nerds)

Composting

Yesterday room 1 learned about composting, I was budded up with Terence. We talked about the greens and the browns, the green stands for nitrogen. Browns stand for organic. Leachate is when rubbish is in a hole of dirt the yucky things from the rubbish travel down the soil and go into the grounds water then it becomes polluted.

Terence: making the middle part of the thing.
Tekawana: doing the compost recipe.

The thing that we found difficult

Planning ideas

• Cut fabric to the size we want.
• Get a cheese grater and beeswax.
• Grate the wax on top of the fabric.
• Place baking paper on top.
• Iron.
• Wait for it to cool and dry.

Beeswax wraps can be used to wrap your food instead of plastic.

Here is one of the many ways you can make your own wraps.

First you need to cut some cotton fabric to the size you want.

For different uses you might like to try different shapes and sizes. For example, you could cut fabric to the size of your favourite bowl.

Using the cheese grater, carefully grate the wax on to the fabric. Give the fabric an even coating of wax sprinkles because it is important to have a consistent layer so your food stays fresh.

Completely cover the fabric with baking paper. Gently rub the iron over the baking paper to melt the wax. The hot wax will melt in to the fabric creating a sticky air-tight wrap. Remove the baking paper and allow the wrap to cool down. This will take around 3 minutes.

Once it has cooled, your wrap is ready to use. Goodbye to single-use plastic wraps!
