Who - The Masked Man
From - The Land Of Stories Series
Strong and Tough? Why - The Masked Man is a strong, tough person, but not heavy weight lifting way, instead in a powerful way. The Masked Man is an evil literary character who wiped the lands of the fairytale world and captured all the villagers and royals using his late mother's (Fairy Godmother) portal potion that can make any book into a portal to go inside the book. Using the potion he went into The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and Peter Pan.

SLJ Week 1 Day 5
On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.
Have you ever wondered what logging in New Zealand can do? Well, I have and I think logging in NZ should not be allowed. Kia ora, I’m Louisa Joyce and I’m here to tell you why logging should be banned in New Zealand. My reasons are as followed.
First off, logging should be banned in NZ because of what we’re doing to animals habitats. Imagine if the animals were breaking our houses so they could have more space, would you like that? The animals probably don’t like us cutting down their homes either.
The final reason, trees provide oxygen for us to breath, so the more trees we cut down the less oxygen we have to breath. Really the trees are doing us a favour by giving us oxygen, so we should give them the will to keep growing.
So now do you agree with me? We should ban logging in NZ because we cut down animals habitats and trees do us a big favour. So let’s ban logging in New Zealand!
On your blog, write a letter to your best friend or a family member telling them about your trip to the tundra. To earn full points your letter must have a greeting (eg. Dear…) followed by 5 – 6 sentences of information about what your experience.
Dear Mum,
The tundras were pretty cold, my classmates and I could barely survive the chilling temperature. Tundra is an area of land (biome) that is quite cold. Did you know that the tundras average temperature is -25℃. I didn’t know how we could breath if the tundras were tree less. Sadly in the last few years the tundras temperature have been rising and the weather has been changing, soon no one will be able to visit the beautiful sights tundra has to offer.
Love from Louisa

New Zealand is a beautiful country with nice beaches and great skiing fields. Since I have travelled all over New Zealand I know pretty much everything. There are to islands that create New Zealand, the North Island and the South Island. The North Island is a simple island with lots of greats things to see and do. One of the North Island's greatest activities is Tongariro National Park, with great skiing fields it is located near Lake Taupo, the center of the North Island. The South Island is a scenic area with lots of things to do like go on the TranzAlpine express in Christchurch. Overall New Zealand is a great country to visit!

- What were your hardest times during your climb?

For this activity you are asked to choose one of your favourite foods. On your blog, write the name of your favourite food and then tell us how to make it. You may need to ask a family member, friend or Google (!) for help, if you do not normally make this food for yourself.
My favourite food is sushi here is how you make it,
Ingredients
RICE
- 1 cup white rice (sushi rice if you can get it)
- 2 cups water
- 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
EVERYTHING ELSE
- 4 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
- 1 cup chopped veggies (carrot, cucumber, red pepper, avocado)
- Soy sauce/tamari, pickled ginger, wasabi (optional // for serving)
Instructions
- Start by preparing your rice. Rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer until your water runs clear. Then add to a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Once it boils reduce heat to low, cover and cook until water is completely absorbed – about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, add vinegar, sugar and salt to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat stirring occasionally until sugar and salt are dissolved. Place in a jar or dish and cool in the fridge until rice is ready.
- Once the rice is done, kill the heat and add the cooled vinegar mixture and stir with a rubber spatula or fork as to not overmix. It will appear wet but will dry up as you lightly stir to release heat. It should be sticky and completely dry once it’s ready.
- In the meantime, prep your veggies by chopping them into thin pieces. If they’re too bulky they won’t allow the sushi to roll well.
- Now it’s time to roll: grab a thick towel and fold it over into a rectangle and place it on a flat surface. Top with plastic wrap, then with a sheet of nori. Using your hands dipped in water (to avoid sticking), pat a very thin layer of rice all over the nori, making sure it’s not too thick or your roll will be all rice and no filling.
- Then, arrange a serving of your veggies or preferred filling in a line at the bottom 3/4 of the rice closest to you (see photo).
- Start to roll the nori and rice over with your fingers, and once the veggies are covered, roll over the plastic wrap and towel, using it to mold and compress the roll (see photo). Continue until it’s all the way rolled up.
- Slice with a sharp knife and set aside.
- To make the inside out roll, follow this awesome tutorial. See photos for how to apply a layer of avocado on the outside.
- Serve immediately with pickled ginger, soy sauce and wasabi.
