Foxy the Fox

One day deep in the forest was a fox named Foxy he loved to play on his swing out on the maple tree outside. He would play on it everyday until night but then a bear came along and took the swing. Foxy was very upset that his favorite thing was broken but then he started to like climbing trees.

His favorite kind of tree is maple tree because they remind him of his  swing. As Foxy was climbing a tree he saw a frog looking lonely so Foxy climbed down and asked what was the frog’s name he said his name was Hoppy. Hoppy asked Foxy if he wants to come over for dinner Foxy asked to see his house he turn to the lake and said there Foxy told Hoppy that he not very good at staying underwater so it would be better at his house Hoppy agreed Foxy told Hoppy to stay there because he need to ask his mum first.

He ran to his house and asked his mum if a friend could stay for dinner she said yes and Foxy ran back to the lake and told the Hoppy to be back here at five pm so he could meet here Hoppy said yup and hopped in the lake Foxy started to climbed some trees in the meanwhile. After quite some time it was five pm. Foxy ran to the lake and saw a Hoppy waiting by a lilypad. 

Foxy waved his hand and told  Foxy that this is his favorite lilypad. Hoppy was about to tell Foxy all about it but Foxy was in a hurry so he grabbed Hoppy’s arm and ran to his tree house. Hoppy thanked Foxy for letting him come over for dinner. Foxy said it was his treat. 

Hoppy sat down on a seat Foxy went on a chair next to him Foxy mom came out of the kitchen with a big plate of pasta Hoppy   was so happy because pasta is his favorite food. Hoppy was using his hands to pick up the pasta because under the lake they don’t use spoons and forks Foxy did not mind it. Hoppy told Foxy that a bear took his seesaw after dinner they want revenge so they got all the animals the bear took stuff from and when to the bear house they knocked on the door ready to put the bear in his place out came the bear and the animals said if he did not give their stuff back then they will tear down his house the bear said sorry he open the door and they saw and big indoor park

Vegetarian Dumplings

Today In my class room6 for Inquiry we made dumplings with my teachers help. All of us did a great job but it was mostly the teachers . We first washed our hands and prepped the dumpling skin we all got our own two to learn how to do it . My teacher Miss Lowans and Miss Gerry told us the instructions on what to do . We had to dump our finger in water and pinch the sides this was the recipe we used

  1. Add 2 tbsp of Salt in chopped cabbage, massage, and set it aside for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, squeeze out all the excess water.
  2. In a pan, add in 2 tbsp of sesame oil, 1,5 tbsp of soy sauce, chopped shiitake mushroom, shredded carrots, and white parts of the green onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes until carrots become soft.
  3. Soak 5 oz of vermicelli noodles in water for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles, using your scissors, cut them into small pieces.
  4. Mix cabbage, saute veggies, chopped green onion, cilantro, and vermicelli noodles in a large bowl.
  5. Season with 3.5 tbsp of vegetarian oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of Mushroom powder, 2.5 tbsp of sesame oil, and 1 tsp of white pepper.
  6. Take one piece of wrapper and add in 1 tbsp of the filling in the middle. Add water to the edges. Fold the wrapper in half, and using the palm of your hand, squeeze the wrapping together on each side while pushing the filling down, forming a ball. Make sure that all the edges are tightly sealed.
  7. Boil a pot of water. Once the water is boiling, add in the dumplings. Once the dumplings float, cook for another 2 minutes.
It turned out really good and everyone liked them it came out like this .
