Putting together an IKEA shelf

Hi everyone ,

Today I assembled an IKEA shelf. IKEA is a Swedish furniture company founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. The shelf came in a flat pack with

  1. Allen key x 1
  2. Screws x 8
  3. Wood panels x 4
  4. Wooden dowels  x 14
  5. Floor protectors x 4 
  6. Instructions manual. 
It was very easy and quick to assemble the shelf because I followed the steps in the manual.

Hello everyone,

Today for the Writing Workshop I read a small part of the book of Harry Potter and drew on paper what the grand hall would look like.

Nasi Lemak

Hello everyone ,

Today we had Nasi Lemak for lunch. It is a special dish made up of many small dishes eaten with rice cooked in coconut milk. In Malaysia, sometimes people have it for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner or supper. It is a signature Malaysian dish equivalent to what fish & chips is to New Zealand

Day 53 of lockdown

Hello everyone,

Dad brought us for a short drive to Waimakariri River today.

There were not many people there and it was quite cold at 6 degrees Celsius even thought it was a sunny day. Mark and I tried to stack rocks to see who can stack more without dropping. I could manage 12.


We went to Rakaia Gorge after Waimakariri River. There were more people here. Many had gone to the hiking trails for walks.

This is our first outing out of Christchurch at Level 2 and before the start of school tomorrow.

Day 52 of Lock down



Hello everyone,
Today I made tapioca jelly balls for my bubble tea. We just need tapioca flour, food colouring and boiling water. 
Step 1 - Add boiling water to tapioca flour. A little at the time. Mix till a dough forms. 
Step 2 - Make a well and add a few drops of food colouring. Blue for me.
Step 3 - Roll into little dough balls
Step 4 -  Put dough balls in boiling water. When the balls start to float, put them in cold water and later milk tea.
Step 5 - Add milk, sugar and tapioca jelly balls to tea. Let me taste this...

Day 51 of Lock down

Hello everyone, 

We went to New Brighton Beach yesterday in celebration of moving to Level 2. The air was cold and damp. It was windy and the waves were high. I enjoyed the walk and the interesting landscape.
