This is an interview I had with my Nana for Grandparents Day.

I lived a very balanced lifestyle.

• Did you ever eat out or get takeaways? How often? What type?

We never never ate out but we ate takeaways about once a month. We had fish and chips.

Netball and hockey.

Went on holidays together.

We always had pudding.

• Were you aware of the need to eat healthy?

No.

• What advice would you like to give me about living a balanced lifestyle?

Don't eat processed foods and have fun with your brother and sister.

• What did you learn?  Compare the differences and the similarities between your life and your grandparent’s life.  What are your thoughts, feelings, and connections on your grandparent’s life?

I learnt that people weren't aware of the need to eat healthy food, but we have takeaways more often and there wasn't a lot of sugary foods.

This week I have been reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and I love it.

                          HARRY POTTER IS THE BEST!!!

7MS has been writing recipes, and I have written one for double chocolate chip cookies. My goal was to use active words. This is my recipe.

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

This is a recipe that my family sometimes uses. It’s very simple and delicious.

You will need:

-150g of butter

-1 cup of brown sugar

-1 cup of white sugar

-2 large eggs

-1 cup of chocolate chips

-1 tsp of baking soda

-2 cups of flour

-4 tablespoons of cocoa

1. First, turn the oven to 180° C.

2. Next, microwave the butter in a microwave-proof bowl for 1 minute or melt it in a pot until just liquid.

3. Take the butter out of the microwave or off the element and put it in a big bowl (if it isn’t already in a big bowl)

4. Add both measures of sugar and eggs to the butter and beat with a fork until thoroughly mixed.

5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips into the bowl.

6. Measure the baking soda and flour into a seive over the bowl and shake them in.

7. Mix everything in the bowl together.

8. Put pieces of baking paper into two oven trays so the biscuits won’t stick.

9. Using two teaspoons, form 1 quarter of the mix into 12 balls and put them on an oven tray. (They will flatten when they are baking).

10. Bake them just below the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

11. Shape and cook the rest of the mixture the same way.

12. While biscuits are warm, lift them onto a cooling rack.

When they’ve cooled down, you can eat them!

This week we have been learning to write thank you letters. I have written one.

I have learned that it is nice to mention what the recipient did for you.
