Explantion: How To Survive your first night Minecraft

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).
Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Have you ever wondered how to play minecraft? If you have you then I’m going to write about. Minecraft is popular game around the world. Its made by a swedish programmer named Notch.  

Always, when you spawn in the world of minecraft you have to start mining wood with your hand. Once you've mined your wood (Must be 8 blocks or you can just use the first 4 wood blocks) use your little crafting system and create some planks. Next make some crafting tools (pickaxes swords, shovels and hoes). Harvest more wood to make a little shack once you have some tools. Then when you have lots of wood start thinking about where you are going to make your shack.

Often people start thinking we're their going to set their home so thats what you are going to do. you are going to start thinking we're you going to make your house. You can make your house in the Jungle, Caves, Mountains, Swamps, Snow forest and forest. I would prefer to live in a Jungle. But besides its your choice. But live in a place where you can see your surroundings. Make sure to gather food and resources and get some coal to make torches (mobs can spawn in your house if its dark). If a village is near you could live in the villagers house. Make sure to make a chest so your food can fit in your shack. Make sure to smelt your food (Make sure to create a furnace if you have time).

Eventually, you would have found a place start building your house but wait make sure you get a sleeping station aka (bed). Make sure to gather some food from the animals around you and resources (you could have a companion to help you). Also you have a roof because those murderous spiders will climb up on your house and sneak attack you like whcha! Your house has to be 3 blocks high and the sides have to be equal to your roof. If you have time get some cobble stone (so you can upgrade weapons and make a furnace).

Now when the sun is set you can finally sleep in your cozy bed and thats how to survive your first night minecraft. Once you practice surviving the night and you'll become a pro. Also once it morning you smell and hear zombies and mobs burning and you can smell the rotten flesh. BUT BE CAREFUL OF CREEPERS!!!

Coconut Ice For Community Day

                                       

Here is the coconut ice that we are making

for community day on Wednesday. Every

class is cooking a meal for community day.

LOOK HOW YUM IT IS!

Please come back to check what I'm up to.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

100g butter

1 cup milk

6 cups Chelsea Icing Sugar

1 tsp salt

1 cup desiccated coconut

2 tsp coconut essence

Method

Place the butter, milk, Icing Sugar and salt in a large- sized saucepan and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to the boil and keep the heat sufficient to just maintain the boil, stirring only occasionally, until the mixture reaches soft-ball stage (120°C). Be careful that the mixture doesn't spit and burn you!

Add the coconut and coconut essence and remove from the heat. Cool for 5-10 minutes, then beat until the mixture thickens. Pour into a greased tin approximately 20x20cm. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

Note: For pink coconut ice add a drop of red food colouring with the coconut. For the traditional two-tone effect make a batch of white and then a batch of pink, pouring the pink on top of the set white.
