Castle midnight

Castle Midnight

As the strange looking creature carried the carriage through the smoky inky black clouds. Behind the creature there was the coach man that was the grand masters slave he was tightly hanging on to the rope with his sweaty greasy hands. The door was wide open there was two mystery strangers in their who could it be? They’re the grand master and his assistant they were up to something nobody never knew. No one never disobeyed the grand master that ruled evil if they did the master would torture people and make them as his slaves and nobody could possibly escape. Both of them were talking like two giggly girls at a sleepover  the spoke in a very unusual language that is ,are you ready? Here it is hbguglhvhvkgvkjgjhgsygukagxqkh yes it is a very unusual and strange language.

The had got there plan which didn’t look pleasant. They were going to rule castle midnight  and if there was anybody there they would turn them into zombies and vampires to make his army stronger. The grand master and his assistant walked  right up to the castle and opened the squeaky door that squeaked like a mouse. They  searched everywhere for something that was the most powerful thing in the whole world. His assistant found this big old ancient looking chest that he was going to open it but the grand master yelled hfehehhebebjbdh! Which I will translate that into english, “How dare You open that chest! Sorry said his assistant, You are pathetic and weak you are no longer my assainst said the grand master. The assistant was very upset on what the grand master said to him. He ran to the carriage as quick as a wink he cried like a girl for hours and hours.

Ugh the grand master sighed ahh now where was I oh yes. He opened the chest with a crackling sound . oohhh it's finally mine the grand master said in a very exciting voice, he was about to pick it up with his old wrinkled hands until… “STOP”!!!! Said the coach man Ohh what do you want said the grand master “don't touch that it can kill you” replied the coachman. “Like how do you know”? Replied the grand master. “I have read about the amulet  in a book it is very dangerous”, Well I guess we have to go then until I come back eventually. The grand master was walking out of the castle to the dark misted carriage, suddenly the coach man picked up the amulet with his sweaty hands and he turned into this unusual looking beast bigger than a giant.  He ate the grand master and his assistant with big gulps every second making terrible noises. Will the coach man be the new grand master? Nobody knew what the beast’s  was going to do next It was a mystery. But the beast was the ruler of castle Midnight.

Donut making

Donuts

On Thursday the year 6 did cooking while the year 7 and 8’s were at the high school for technology. We went down to the library at 9:30 after kapa haka. We made donuts.  We were there to learn to cook donuts.

First of all we were set out into three groups. My group had Morgan and Lily. Second thing we did was read the recipe so we know what we were doing. We had all of the ingredients the ingredients  were butter, flour, sugar, milk, baking powder and eggs.

First thing we did was measure the flour out we measured 1 cup and ½ cup of flour and put it into a mixing bowl. Then we added ½ cup of sugar into the mixing bowl. Next we added 1 teaspoon of baking powder and then half a teaspoon of baking powder. Then we combined all together and made a well in the middle. Next we added 9 tablespoons of butter into a cup and then we put into a microwave for 30 seconds. After the butter was added we cracked an egg open and beaten slightly. Last but not least we added the egg in and mixed all of it together.

Then we let heat up for a couple of minutes. Once the batter was done we sprayed the donut maker with some canola oil so then the donut mixture wouldn't get burnt. Then we got a spoon full of batter and put into the slots very carefully so we didn't burn ourselves. Then we waited for it to cook which had taken not very long at all but the bigger donut maker took a little bit longer than the smaller one. Once it was cooked we used a plastic fork to take the donuts out so then we wouldn't burn ourselves even though I think that some of us did get burnt it really hurt. We laid the donuts onto paper towels and used the rest of the batter.

Once we used up all the batter we were able to put some whip cream on them. Finally we were able to eat them they were delicious. Once we all had enough it was morning tea time but we all decided to stay in and make a second batch for the other classrooms. After we delivered handing the donuts out for each class we started to clean up. We washed the dishes and wiped the bench.

I really liked the donuts and had so much fun learning to make them. I thought that they were really yummy and a nice treat.
