Why we use a knife and fork to eat

Why do we use a knife and fork to eat?

Introduction
Have you ever wondered why we use
to cut things into bite size pieces, so that we don’t get germs on our food and so that we don’t get someone in our family embarrassed when we’re out eating.

Why we use a knife and fork
The reason why we use a knife and fork to eat is because if we use our hands, we might get sticky hands, and if you go on a computer and touch the keyboard, you will make the keyboard sticky, then someone else will go on there and touch the stickiness and they will have YOUR germs.

Keeping Clean
The reason why you use a knife and fork is so its not messy and you keep nice and clean. If you use your hands your hands will get very sticky, dirty and you will spread germs.

Bite Sized Pieces
The reason why we use a knife and fork is so that we can cut it into bite sized pieces.


YOU should use a knife and fork to eat because we could get sticky or dirty hands, you can spread germs too you know!

My Geometry Map - Little Red Riding Hood

This is my map about what Little Red Riding Hood did to get to her grandmothers house. I knew that she picked flowers and strawberries. Then she went out the gate finding wild roses.

My first day at camp! :)

Today was the best! It was my first time at camp, we did kayaking! I went kayaking when I was little.

I went in a double seated kayak and a single seated kayak. The first one I went in was the double seated kayak with Trinity, then I went on the single one which I almost fell out of!!!

I was doing one side and my paddle fell in the water as I was turning but I grabbed it just before I was about to fall!! I was scared but luckily I didn't fall out of the kayak.... That would of been way to scary... What if there were sharks?! What if I drowned?! Now that makes me scared! I'm lucky I got to go kayaking though! It was amazing.

I couldn't wait until we went. I do miss my family but I will see them on Friday! I do miss them alot, I can't sleep with my favourite teddy either, we aren't aloud to bring toys along.....

Which makes me sad... I'll be better when its the next day don't worry. Soon I'll be doing lots more, soon we are going to the G.I. Pools to have a swim then take a shower which will annoy me because when I get my top on after the shower well... It's hard to get it untangled... So all I do is either pick another shirt or else I'll just try to untangle it.
Here is a picture of when we went kayaking!
