Hot Pot By: Arina-M

Hot Pot is a Chinese cooking method, prepared with a simmering pot of soup stock at the dining table, also contains a variety of East Asian foodstuff(s) and ingredients. While the hot pot is kept simmering, ingredients are placed into the pot and are cooked at the table, in a manner similar to fondue (sweet melted cheese).

Hot Pot has the power to enhance friendship and unite family members or colleagues. Several people sit around a hot pot, talking and eating. They pick up food in one pot, which creates an atmosphere that makes people comfortable.

How Hot Pot became original?

Hot Pot was originated in Mongolia 800-900 years ago. The primary ingredient was meat, and the broth wasn’t spicy. Hot Pot subsequently spread throughout China, where distinct regional variations developed and persist to this day.

Cheetah

Cheetahs are the fastest land animal.  They sound like a cat. They eat meat, such as gazelle, wild beast, rabbits and birds. They are carnivores.

They are mammals with fur, they live in grasslands because they live in south-east Africa. They have to eat   food really fast, otherwise their predators can come and kill them.

A cheetah is part of a big cat family. A cheetah can run over 50m in 10 second. There are still some cheetahs around the world today.

Cheetahs don’t always die when a bigger predator comes because they can run away on max speed.

Our Stories


         
Soccer Game

The whistle was blown, they kicked it off. They ran down the side-line. We surrounded them but they escaped and scored a goal. It was 1 to 0 we went back to the centre. Our team vs Thunderbolts.

Then we scored 8 goals, after that we won the game! The next game, they kicked it off. They went into the side of the field, the opposite member kicked the ball up as far as he could but I headed it out of the goal, excitedly. It went all the way to the half of the field, my teammate King Qasim scored a goal!

After that we went to the center of the field again. Mathew, my other teammate passed to me and scored a goal and won!

Hot Water Beach  by Aliyah


On the weekend, my mum, dad, my brothers, my little sisters and I, and my cousin’s family all went to hot water beach.

When we got there, we went in the water.  Then we got out and made a big hole in the sand.  When a huge wave came, we quickly sat on the hole to stop the water carrying away the sand.

We spent one or two hours there. At the end we finally made a hole with hot water in it.  Marwah, my cousin kept on lying down in the sand while we were taking a shower in the changing room. I felt happy for the day.




              

My First Day at School - Recount



On my first day at school, my mum took me to The Warehouse and bought me two pairs of Green Bay shirts. Next mum took me to Green Bay School, I was in Room 28 but I didn’t make any friends.

At first, I didn’t make any friends, but after a while I made some friends, it was fun. Then it was home time, my mum picked me and my brother up and we went to Supermarket. A few days later, I turned six. I had fun with my friends.

By Orlando (Year 3)


When I turned 5 three years ago, my mum took me to Green Bay School.

Firstly, mum took me to the ESOL room because she couldn’t speak English yet. Then Veronica took me to Room 25 with Jill. Next, Jill asked a Chinese boy called Aubrey to help me understand. Soon, we became friends. Then in morning tea time, he told me about Ethan, his friend.

After a while I heard someone calling me. It was my mum and she was going to pick me up but I didn’t want to go. Then she went away. After morning tea, it was writing time. Jill helped me to write my very first sentence. My handwriting was really bad but that didn’t really matter. Jill was really nice to me.

After that, it was maths time. I really like my first day at Green Bay School.

By Pei Yao (Year 4)


On my first day at school I made friends already and my friends showed me everywhere in school and then the bell rang and I thought that there was fire because every bell is for fire alarm. So I ran away and my teacher Kyra said: “Come back.” And I did and then she said: “This isn’t a fire alarm, it is a school bell.” Then I went to my class.
