Steps:

•  Be patient while it heats before popping 
• After it pops catch the popcorn in a bowl

Conclusion:

• Next time we need have chocolate popcorn as it was a bit dry.

Today we were learning to add a comment to our procedural text so that we may adjust the procedure if were to follow it again.

Indie commented-It was a bit dry so give it some flavour with caramel, butter or chocolate.

Jade, Franky, Mere and Jamie commented that the popcorn needed some butter to make it taste better.

Liam and Mere commented that we should have made rainbow popcorn.

Mikaila and Lilli-Rose commented that the popcorn needed some chocolate melted onto it.

Kingston commented that the popcorn tasted yummy and did not need any unhealthy stuff on it.

Fishing Tale ---Indie

Fishing Tale

One day Dad and I woke up very early in the morning I said, ‘‘O.K.,  Don’t forget salted ice, wet towel, ruler, life jackets and of course our fishing rods.’’ “O.K. you remind me, because I always forget. I’ll tie the boat up to the trailer,’’ replied Dad. “O.K.!” I said.

When we were ready and packed we climbed into our car and rushed off out to the deck. It was amazing the water, and shone like a shooting star. I was amazed, so was Dad, it was the most sparkly water I had ever seen.

As soon as we were at the right place I throw my line into the water.After a little while I felt a nibble on my rod. I quickly reeled the humongous fish in.
