Descriptive Paragraph-Fireworks

Boom! A colorful substance flies into the sky making a loud noise, then not long after sounds of excitement start to appear. While watching it go ka-boom so many colors lit up the sky, it was beautiful indeed. Then we came across the biggest one of all, nervously burning the wick and running away. As soon as it flew up at that very moment our eyes opened as wide as a crocodile's mouth. With a taste of smoke in my mouth I agreed to not open my mouth while it was being lit, because trust me smoke doesn’t taste good at all.A hint of gunpowder flew up my nose.The loud sounds almost sounded like explosions from a war. Feeling the heat on my hands and arms, felt very relaxing because of its warmness. The flashes from the rectangular shaped box almost made me blind. Thrills filled the air, that was a very explosive night.

Burgers and fries - Technology

This was the last day of tech, and we made burgers and fries. It was really fun making and shaping the meat patty. The burgers we made were huge, I couldn't fit my mouth around the burger to take a bite. These burgers were so yummy I am going to make them at home.

Lifting someone with his thumb

So one day Mr Hendricks came into room eight and said he had a challenge for us.  He said that he was going to lift the heaviest person in room eight. We didn't believe him until he showed us. While we were out side he came out with a lever and a long piece of wood. He put the long piece of wood on the lever and told Sive to get onto the other end. When Sive got on the other end he pushed the wood down with his thumb. We were so amazed how he used a simple machine to life the heaviest person in our class with his thumb.

Simple machines

The focus for this term is simple machines. So since our topic is simple machines, my teacher said to make a simple machine of our own at home using a pulley or wheel and axle. In my simple machine I used two bobbin's to act a two pulleys. My simple machine I have created is a old school scale, I also used materials that I had a home. Here are some of the things I used to make my simple machine:

1. Wooden hanger

2. One Toilet roll

3. Two bobbin's

4. Two Plastic cups

5. Five key rings

6. Different sizes of rope

7. A small piece of salafain

Making this simple machine was really hard but I got help from my aunty. So without her help I wouldn't have completed my simple machine. When I was done with my simple machine I decided to help a friend with her simple machine, she made a well with a pulley too. 

Yummy Nacho's - Food tech

On Monday, the year 7's and 8's went to Tamaki College for technology. I was in cooking class with room 8's year 8's. So on that Monday we made nacho's.  We first cooked the mince with baked beans. Then our technology teacher sorted out the chips on the plate and afterwards we poured the mince on top of it, and sprinkled some cheese on top.  We had to clean up before eating the food. It was really fun cooking this and I am going to try it at home.
