Funny Day - by Katie

by Katie

Today at Heathcote Herald, I was laughing! SO it started when I was singing this song and then Sophie told me to sit on Jack. I sat on Jack but he pushed me off. Michael dared Jack to sit on him but when Jack sat on Michael, he jumped off and said Michael had spikes on his legs which is not true. We were laughing a lot later. Once today, I made Jack laugh. Usually Jack makes us laugh. He also said some jokes. Some of Jack’s jokes don’t work. But now Jack isn’t funny anymore. Maybe he is later but that’s all for now.

Pokemon Sun & Moon - by Jack

New! Sun And Moon Leaked Gxes!

Hi guys, it’s Jack. I’m back with information about more leaked GX information. Some new cards that I have found out about are Bewear GX, Drampa Gx, Metagross GX, Tokapex GX, Lycanrock GX, Tapu Lele, and many more, but let’s stick to these. I personally like Bewear because it is cute. Drampa is kinda powerful, but not very good. Metagross is now a reprint of the EX and Mega.

Tokapex is a ocean pokemon. Lycanroc has two forms. Midnight form and day form. And last there is Tapu Lele, which is A WEIRD POKEMON!

Thank you for watching this. Here it is on Pokemon Sun and Moon...

Heathcote Art and Poetry Festival

by Xiyan

April is Spring and our school always holds an Art and Poetry Festival. The Art and Poetry Festival is basically when all of the students write a poem and they have art work up on display so the parents can come in and look at all of the poems and art.

This year my class is making chairs for a person in art. But these are not just any kind of people, Fantasy ones like a wizard, or a giant. I got a Vampire teen, so I basically designed a very dark chair for him.

Our art teacher Ms. Cameron is also making a Poetree, get it? A poetree! It’s also very fun to look at other people’s poems, because you might be surprised by the stuff your friends write.

I hope this year I get to see some very interesting poems by my friends. I also hope that my parents can see my poem. No matter who you are at Heathcote, the Art and Poetry festival is very interesting and fun!

Tea

by Sophie

Tea is a really sweet and helpful for sore throats and it is always  good for winter my favorite is French Vanilla there is many kinds the most popular is green or black tea normally it is called regular Tea.

 

This Tea would probably be cinnamon or black Tea you can tell by the color or the way it smells.  Tea can have many things to go with it like Honey, Agave, sugar cubes and a couple more I  believe. Tea can also help when you when you have a headache  it helps me because it has caffeine but that sometimes it causes me to have headaches but it could work for you I do not know. Here are some flavors that I know french Vanilla, peach, Orange, decaf,  salted caramel, black Tea, Green Tea,cinnamon,herbal Tea, Mandarin Orange Spice Tea and lemon Tea. And A whole lot more.

     

Snowboarding

by Michael

Have you ever went snowboarding it’s really fun. The first ever snowboard was made in 1977! Wow! And the snowboard changed a lot from 1977 to right now. Here’s a picture of what the 1977 snowboard looks like and a “right now” snowboard.

It’s a big difference you could see right. So here I chose the snowboard because it’s colorful and it’s cool like you could go really fast but you might not like fast I use to not to but not now. I love going fast and another reason is that when I go skiing my brother always says that I need to parallel and it’s really annoying and so it’s really good for me to go snowboarding. The first time I snowboarded I learned how to turn and stuff. So start SNOWBOARDING!  

My Night - Ice Cream and Movies

by Katie

On Saturday, 4/1/17, I went to eat dinner with Alina. After having dinner, we went to Carvel. We got ice cream. Me and Alina had one scoop. Then they went to our house to watch Arrival. Well, me and Alina watched Camp Rock and Pokemon. Camp Rock is a show about music and singing. The people get to perform singing in front of every camper in the final jam. In Pokemon, Ash catches Caterpie that evolves into Metapod that evolves into Butterflee. A swarm of Beedrills were attacking Ash and Misty. Instead, the Beedrills attacked Metapod. Then we went to sleep. Alina didn’t bring her stuff so we had to loan stuff to Alina. When we woke up, we started practicing our song and dancing The Power Of Brave.

The Process of Making Chocolate

by Xiyan

researched on BrainPop

1. After the beans are harvested, they have to be fermented for about a week
2. Then the beans get dried in the sun for much longer
3. Then the beans that have already been fermented and dried in the sun will get roasted
4. After that, the beans are winnowed
5. Then they get mashed into a gooey liquid that’s called chocolate liquor
6. Then cocoa solids are ground into cocoa powder like the stuff we use to make hot chocolate

How to Make the Usual Chocolate We Eat

1. Most of the recipes start with the baker’s unsweetened chocolate
2. Then you have to add more cocoa butter to be added into the bowl
3. Next, sugar and flavorings are added into the mixture
4. If it was milk chocolate we were making then we would add a lot of milk too
5. The ingredients then get mixed all together in a special process called conching
6. Finally, the conched chocolate is heated then cooled on a very complex process called tempering

Glossary:

Fermented - Dried out for a period of time

Winnowed - De-shelled

Conched - Ingredients getting mixed up in a special mixing process

Tempering - The chocolate is heated and cooled
